'Should I get the blue and red or the red and blue?'

There was a beat of silence that was filled by my sigh of exasperation and then I replied.

'Ryan, I swear to God if you don't take those American flag undies off of your jeans and put them back, I'm going to leave you here looking like superman.'

He pouted, looking down at the huge blue and red striped underwear he was wearing over his jeans sadly and finally stumbling out of them.

'Fine,' he sighed, 'but only because your face is so red I'm afraid you aren't breathing.'

'That's because that guard by the door and half the people in this shop have been eyeing your stupidity for ages now. It's called being embarrassed,' I hissed, glaring at him as he shot me an easy grin.

'Aw, chill out Mad Girl. I thought you liked shopping.'

I let out a sarcastic chuckle. 'Funny how you thought that, when this whole time it's been you stopping me at every shop possible.'

Ryan rolled his eyes, plopping down next to me on the bench and letting out a sigh.

'You're so boring and uptight,' he spoke sadly and I whipped my head towards him in rage.

'Uptight? I'm uptight? You suck. And you act like a five year old most of the time.'

He laughed my insult off and stood suddenly.

'Fine, here's an idea.'

'Please don't.'

He ignored me, starting to pace as a grin grew on his face.

'You say you're not uptight. Then prove it. I want to see five year old you. Drunk you in sober you. Let the crazy take over. Forget about the people around you for once. I want the Faye that pranks dipshits and doesn't care what people think about her. Come on, Mad Girl. Loosen up.'

I looked at him like he was crazy, eyebrows raised.

'Okay first of all, if you'd given that passionate a performance in sixth grade for the school play, you might've ended up as something more than the 'third tree to the left.'

He opened his mouth to reply but I ploughed on, cutting him off. 'Secondly, that was the most abrupt change of behavior I've ever seen and thirdly, did you have to pick a mall to do this in? I mean, why do you even want to do anything other than have desert and go home.'

He sighed at me again, looking at me as though I was helpless. 'Oh, Faye,' he spoke with mock regret, 'you have so much to learn.'

'If you don't shut up I'm going to clock you in the face.'

'Yeah! Like that!' he yelped suddenly in delight, making me jump and causing a nearby couple to shoot us a weird look.

'That's it,' I snapped, standing up and grabbing his wrist before dragging him out of the shop. He followed silently, to my surprise, and I came to a stop in the middle of the path; people flowing around us like a stream around a boulder.

'Are we doing it?' Ryan asked excitedly and I shot him a glare.

'No!' I exclaimed in exasperation and his face fell, causing my insides to twinge with the slightest of guilt.
