Shopping

Sarah:

We were in Louis' car the top was down, music blaring, and our hair blowing back in the wind. It felt like a total white girl movie scene. Eleanor was driving sunglasses on and a giant smile on her face. Victoria was next to her in the passenger seat bobbing her head up and down to the music. I couldn't help but smile as we flew down the freeway. I felt free. I don't know why i don't do this more often. This feels so liberating. "So i texted Alison!" Victoria shouted over the wind and the music.

"What did she say!" i yelled back. Victoria threw back her head in laughter.

"What do you think?!" she asked. I started laughing too. There was no way Alison would miss out on a shopping spree. Especially if Eleanor was with us and if she had the chance to meet all the boys later.

"So she will meet us there!" i called back. Victoria just laughed as we sped off down the highway. We all met up at the local mall. Victoria and i were known for going here on weekends. We've been spotted by many a fan. By now i was used to these encounters and they had gotten used to us showing up there. But there was always one or two who always just freak out when they see us. It was adjoined to the plaza where Zayn and her had seen that movie. I suddenly wished Niall was with us. I should be spending time with him. He will only be here for another week. I told myself.

I quickly shook my head. I needed this. I needed girl time. I couldn't talk to Niall about Niall. That would just be stupid and pointless. It would boost his ego though. We met up outside in front of Forever 21. There were a couple screams and lots of hugs mostly by Alison. She was stunned to be meet Eleanor.

"You and Louis were made for each other! You guys are so perfect together!" she practically shouted. Eleanor smiled beautifully at her.

"Thanks. That means a lot Alison." then Alison squealed in delight because she just used her name. We went into the mall and got to work. I've always liked shopping. Sometimes it got tiring. There was just too many bags and too many steps to take. I have money. My family's pretty wealthy. I get an allowance of course but i usually end up putting most of it into the bank. I keep one hundred or two hundred dollars stashed in my room just in case i need fast money and don't want to ask my parents for some. It comes in handy. I rarely use it though.

Today, i took all of it. This was an emergency. We're talking about shopping here. As we walked around the store i realized that Eleanor and i had similar tastes. While Alison and Victoria would grab bright colors and tiny shorts, Eleanor and i would grab sweaters and skirts. With our arms full of clothes to try on we went to the dressing room and the lady put us all in stalls next to each other.

"Holler when you're ready!" Victoria called out. We all said yes in response. I first tried on form fitting, ripped up jeans and a graphic sweater. We would came out and complimented each other on our clothing. Then we'd back in to keep trying on things. At one point Victoria asked me,

"Do you have a dress with your clothes." i thought for a second and shook my head. Her eyes brightened. "I'll be right back!" she said running out of the dressing room with the clothes she was trying on. I gave the others a weird look but they just shrugged. They were just as clueless as i was. Victoria came rushing back in a couple minutes later with a dress in her hands. It was white with blue, yellow, and red flowers all over it. It didn't have sleeves and looked fairly short. "Try this on." she said shoving it into my hands.

"What why?" i asked looking down at it.

"Because i think it'll look great on you and you know who else will love it?" she paused but didn't give me time to answer.

"Niall." Eleanor, Alison and Victoria said in unison. They laughed. I was shaking my head. I liked dresses yeah but this one didn't look my style.
