My Story (Ghost Bird) •••

Chapter 3•••

"What are we doing here?" Harmony, who walks beside me, looks down at me with a smile, not saying anything.

Following her even though curiosity is going to get the better of me, I could ask one of the others but they probably know less than I do. So therefore, it would completely pointless.

"Where's Dream? She said she would be here." This time I ask Serenity who lets out the quietest laugh.

"When do we ever know where Dream is?" That is true, but someone has to know where she is, even if she doesn't want anyone too.

"Why do you need me?" Feeling warm air on my neck, goosebumps crawl over my skin as Dream talks quietly to me.

Trying to turn and face Dream, I am held in place by her tight grip on my elbow. "I just wanted to ask you a question," feeling the cold metal of rings on my arm, it is a stark contrast to her warm skin.

"And that would be?"

"Why are we here?" Talking to Dream is hard for me to do since I don't know her as well as the others, but I know that she wouldn't judge me for saying something stupid.

I know when Dream talks to someone, it is shocking because she has a presence to her that makes you feel like you have to stand up straight and give her one hundred percent of your attention, even if she doesn't want that. I sometimes catch the others with ridged backs when Dream talks to them before they relax realizing what they are doing.

"Shopping," Dream says before letting go of my arm, moving next in front of us a, leading us to a store that has Serenity jumping in excitement.

When we enter the stop, Dream has a short conversation with the worker before coming over to us. "Here," holding out her debit card to Harmony, she takes a seat on one of the many couches, immediately getting on her phone.

"Show me the clothes you are getting before you set them next to Dream. Remember, they have to be school appropriate." Harmony says before taking a seat next to Dream saying something to her quickly, her expression changing before she smiles when she sees me looking at her.

Feeling a hand clamp onto my left wrist, another hand clamps onto my right wrist and I'm pulled in two different directions. Looking to the left, Chasity is glaring at Patience who is glaring back with equal intensity.

"Let go," Chasity growls, her eyes darkening as they continue to stare each other down.

"No, I want to go shopping with Sang for once. You always get to be; besides, after you shop with Sang she is tried and doesn't want to continue. Let someone else take her."

"She doesn't need to do more shopping if I go with her, she gets all the clothes she needs," Chasity bites back, her glare getting more intense by the second.

Their hands disappear from my forearms before a pair of arms come around my waist, carrying me away. "She's mine now!" Harmony says loudly so they can hear her. "You can shop with Serenity," she sets me down before grabbing my hand and tugging me in the direction of the pants, that look really expensive.

She grabs many brands and sizes shoving them in my arms before shoving me in the direction of the changing room. I barely have time to turn around to look at her before she shuts the door.

I only have one leg in the pants when more pants come raining down from over the door. "Try those on too. Let me see what they look like," she says, this is going to be a long day.

Harmony holds at least fifteen pairs of jeans in her arms, I hold close to the same. The jeans in her arms aren't hers, no, they are mine. I don't know why I would need thirty pairs of jeans, but Harmony said that I need them and I really didn't have a choice because when I would set one down, she would grab two more.
