The Dark Side

Chapter 8

After the shower I put on some shorts a T-shirt and a striped jacket. The T-shirt was red and it said Be loud Be free Be Wild .

It was one of my favourite T-shirts, because Alana had one that looked alike and it was really comfortable. I even had one like this when I was younger. Now it's obviously too small for me. I've noticed that Harry had a T-shirt that looked like this one, too. Harry... Why was he here? I had to know the answer. He was pretty quiet. He never really talk about him, he just wanted to talk about me. Why again? I didn't really like that. I took a pretty dark blue bag and put my phone, wallet and keys in it. I went downstairs, took my black sneakers and called Alana.

''Hello?'' She said.

''Were you sleeping?'' I asked feeling sorry for her.

''No, why?'' She said pretty loud.

''Wanna go shopping with me?'' I asked.

''Yea, sure. Should I come over your house?'' 

''Yes, I'm waiting, okay?'' 

I hung up.

We haven't been shopping together since, like forever. I thought it would take my mind off Harry, because I've been thinking about him too much. Plus I think, Alana would feel better too, after that day... 

I could use some new clothes, even though, I didn't really need any. My mum always said I need some new things to refresh my closet, so did Alana. But I felt comfortable with a few of my T-shirts, sweaters, hoodies and shorts, jeans, pants. I wasn't the skirt and dress person. I didn't really like how I look with skirts. They mostly bring out my legs and I hated my legs. They were always the thing that comes out. Like, I can wear a neon pink skirt and still the legs would stand out more. My point is that they're one of the many things I hate. Since I was 13. Shorts always kept them together. 

The doorbell rang, twice. It was Alana. We went shopping.

''So, how are you?'' Alana said. It looked like she knew something about Harry...

''I'm fine, why?'' I asked looking too confusing.

''Well I just asked you know. As a friend to a friend...''

''And you? How are you?''

''Well, I'm okay''

''Where do you want to go first?'' I asked.

''How about... forever 21?''

''Yea, sure'' I said, even though it wasn't one of my favourite stores. I liked some of the clothes, but the store wasn't really for me.

''But you're going to buy something!'' Alana demanded.

''I'll see...'' I said looking away.

We were in the mall the whole day it was like 8 pm. We were eating Mc'Donald's. I haven't ate this kinda meal in awhile, so it was pretty nice to try it again. I remember when I was younger I loved this kind of food. I always wondered why can't we make that kind of burgers at home. We always made salad. My mum loves and is good at making salad. That's why probably she made salad that time when Robin and Harry were first time visiting. Harry... No not again I need to keep my mind off my mind. He's been there way too much. I mean I need to stop thinking about him. He is just attractive. Of course the gift from him was nice, but that doesn't mean anything. He was just being nice. He doesn't even like me. 

I don't even like him.

My thoughts were interrupted by Alana.

''So did you think today was fun?''
