"Oh my god! Carmen and Laura's ex boyfriend? No way! Laura would be so ma—"

"Oh shut it, Jessie. They dated for one god damn day! No one cares about Laura anymore! Go ahead, tell Laura. What is she going to do? Sue me?" I cut off Jessie, who was standing in total shock at Levi kissing me. A boy with curly hair has his arms wrapped around Jessie. I believe his name is Henry, or maybe Harry. I've seen him in school before, I believe he's in one of my classes.

"Calm down..." A voice says from behind me. Not just any voice, Zayn's voice.

"What are you doing here? You know what...never mind. I don't care right now. Jessie, if you'd kindly piss off and move on, that'd be great. Tah tah." I say, waving at her and pulling Levi with me. Levi stayed quiet, but he didn't seem careless. Zayn followed us, and when I had enough of it I turned around.

"What do you want?!" I snap in annoyance.

"Weren't we all supposed to go shopping together?" He asks.

"I don't know, you tell me," I snarl. Zayn's expression turns to guilt. "Why are you here? Did Perrie ditch you?"

"No, she's in Claire's shopping for her sister," He says. "I came here to shop, but I figured I'd hang with you guys..."

"No. You're not going to 'hang' with us. You blew us off, so we will gladly accept that." I snap. Levi whispered he was going to look for some clothes, and I nodded.

"It's not that big of a deal, why do you have to be such a fucking drama queen all the time?" He gets closer to me. My hand flies to his face. It took my a second to realize what I have done. I slapped him.

"Really? That's it..I'm done." Zayn almost yells. He walks out of the store with anger in his eyes. I stand, staring into nothing. I've never done that.

"Carmen... You okay?" Levi says, snapping me out of my daze.

"I just slapped my best friend..."

"Yeah," he laughs. "I saw that."

"He called me a drama queen." I grunt and my head falls to Levi's chest.

"Don't get emotional, babe...you had every right to slap him."

"No! I didn't! Now he won't talk to me... Levi, he's my best friend. I don't want to lose him again!" I begin to cry. I feel the awkwardness that Levi is going through.

"I'm sorry...I'm here..." He says after a few minutes.

"Yeah," I wipe a tear off and smile. "Thank you for that..." I say, hugging him tightly.

"Awww! How cute!" Macy screeches. I jump.

"Oh, hey Macy." Levi greets her.

"Who is that?" I ask, there's a girl standing next to her holding the same amount of bags.
