RAVEN (rough draft)

6

  I wake up by the sound of Tana's voice, 

"You have to get an early start if you want to shop for the longest time possible.!" she proclaimed.

  The thing was I was dredging this trip, walking all day to look at just stuff to wear. it just seems stupid to me, what a waste of time.

  I get up and slip on my normal clothes,  but then I noticed that my normal shirt would be out of place in a mall. I sliped on my pink :) and walked in to the bathroom.

  I stared at my self in the mirror, it has been a long time since Ive seen my reflection. Ive gotten taller, my hair has gotten longer, and ive lost a lot of weight. I use to be a healthy weight but know the shirt I am wearing that is made for skinny is lose and barely brushing against my stumic. I ran a hair brush thow my hair and all the other little things to get ready,  than went down stairs. 

  Tana has made a small breakfast that we eat in about five minutes and then were off.

            **********************************************

  Tyler drops us off at the mall and says he's going to get supplies and run some errands. The Mall is huge its 4 stories high and who knows how many stores there are. Tana knows exactly were she's going she practical runs to the escalator.  When we reach the top floor she pulls me into some wired shop. The shops walls are black and there are lots of pictures up on one of the walls.

  Tana walks up to the lady at the font desk and starts talking to her. After a few minutes she comes over to were I am siting with a tray that has tiny knives with decorations on the end.

"These are ear rings everyone has them. Pick one." as she says this she moves her hair so I can see hers. She has a little pink dot on it.

  I look at my choices,  why are they all so bright!  I look on the conter and see Tana picked out all the dark ones. Not wanting to argue I pick one that has a small white gem in side.

  The lady signals me to go to the back of the room and sit in a chair. She sticks the earrings though my ear, I wanted so bad to scream but I didn't.

After the lady explained how to take care of my newly pierced ears we went back down to the second floor. Once again im dragged in to a store. unlike the earring place which had a dark vibe this place screamed bright.

  Emma made me sit and wait on a chair will she picked out clothes for me. She came back with an arm full of clothes for me to try on. She showed me were the dressing rooms were and demanded that I show here each shirt, so she can decide what to keep.

  The first is a hot pink shirt with a sweetheart neck line, there is a soft pink hart in the center,  I slip it on and walk out side for Tana to see. I continue to do this for the following shirts:

●A aquamarine shirt with a allusion neckline and a humming bird on it that has all kinds of colors on it.

●A one shoulder shirt that was black with sparkly pink stripes

●A halter top that is pink with a purple flower in the center

●A scoop neckline that is plain light purple

●An off the shoulder that is yellow with pink dotes.

●A straight across neckline that is pure cotton candy pink

● An V neck that is pure sky blue

  When we finely finish and pay its about noon so we grab some lunch. We both get a personal pizza,  mine has just pepperoni and Tana has just cheese. Tana is lost in here thoughts while we eat so there no talking between us, its not exactly quiet because other people are in the food part of the mall.

  Next we get some pants,  I didnt really  pay attention to them to me pants are pants. As we leave the store we got pants in I see Tana pull out a list, 3 of 9 are checked. She has this whole trip planned.

  Her eyes light up as we enter the show shop she takes her time gathering shoes for me. After I try them on we end up with

●A pair of black sneakers

●Hot pink platform heal

● Black ankle boots

●Blue wedges

● Light pink flats

  We check out and Tana checks another thing of here list. We enter a jewelry store next.  She gaters

(a set is necklace,  bracelet, and earnings)

●a Dimond set

● A amethyst set

● gold bracelet

●10 pack of earings

●a necklace with a butterfly on it

● a bracelet with a humming bird on it

  We have now done 5 out of 9, and I have no idea what the other 4 are but Tana seems confident.

  At the next store we pick up:

●3 belts,  one is hot pink, another is black, and the last is blue

●  a pink fandora

● hair ties of every kind

●A butterfly clip that is big enough to hold all my hair

●bobby pins

  Then we head to the barber and Tana got a hot pink streak in here hair and I got my hair cut so it was just brushing my shoulders. After we held to the makeup department and get:

●Black eyeliner

●Black mascara

●Pink eye shadow

●Blue eyeshadow

●blush

●little gems

●Pink lipstick

  My feet are hurting so much it feels like there burning  but  I dont complain, Tana's not so why should I. We go down to the first floor. She pulls me in to a room that is filled with nail polish. She gaters up about 20 of them and caries them to the chash register.

  Finally done we held out side were Tyler is pulling up, he hops out to help us put are bags in the car then we pill in. Tana starts talking about all the different outfits we got on the way to Base. I had had a an overload of clothes for the day so I zoned here out and started thinking.

  Soon I'm going to be looking like those rich kids wich will help me fit in but the moment I start talking there going to know I'm from off the streets. You can dress me in fancy clothes, paint my nail, and put makeup on me but once you live on the streets you never ever lose you attitude.

     ********************************************************

  For super we had tacos, we eat in silence because we are so engulfed in the food. Once again the food is amazing, I dont see how a 12 year old can cook this good. Then again she has had a lot of practice.

  Just as we finsh dinner there's a knock on at the door. Tana does the dishes as me and Tyler go to see who it is. When we open the door there is a girl who is about 13 with red hair, carribean blue eyes,  and had olive skin. She was about 5"5' , super thin, and her clothes were ripped and she was covered in cuts and bruises. She looked more like a skeleton than a person.  You could see some of her bones, she has bags under her eyes, and she has bruises that look like there from the forest but also some cleaner cuts.

  "I got lost in the forest and and I am hurt could you pppplease help me." she stuttered. I stepped back, I didnt think she could be alive much less talk.  We helped her inside and as so as we let her go to close the door she fainted.
