These Tears

12.

Camryn was walking through the mall trying to find a dress while Israel was being his usual goofy self.

"Ayo, Cam, why don't you love me though? ", Israel asked.

"Cause you're scrawny looking, duhh! "
"You swear that you're tough. Why do you like hurting my feelings?"

"Aw, you're about to cry best friend? "

"You should let me love you, let me be the one to give you everything you want and need", Israel sang out loud making a few people look at him.

"What? Mind your business. Damn" he said while Camryn was laughing.

"Iss, you need to chill "

Camryn and Israel walked into a boutique that was best known for its exquisite shoes.

"Damn, R2000 is the lowest price in here, I'm not crazy."

They left the place without even looking back.

"Cam, we've been walking for an hour in total and my feet hurt."

"That sounds gay, are you pregnant? "

"Don't do me like that. I had football practice , remember? "

"Yeah, whatever "

Israel stopped at a shop named Zeeshop. It was literally everything Camryn had had in mind for her whole outfit.
She had seen the shop on instagram a few times yet was still amazed by everything.

"Best friend, come and try this dress, it'll suit you.", Israel was holding a long peach dress that was tight fit and had an opened v-cut at the back.

"I love it." , Camryn was assisted by the shop assistant to fit the dress.

When she walked out, Israel's jaw had dropped.

"Iss,close your mouth."

Israel put his index finger on Camryn's skin and mad the 'psss ' sound. "So fye. "

Camryn giggled, "thank you. "

Camryn paid for the dress and shoes and they left the clothes section and went straight to the food court.

"Seafood or Hot wings", Israel asked.

"Oh, I want the seafood platter and some ice-cream"

"Let me order the seafood platter while you get yourself some ice-cream " , Israel said while taking a few bags from Camryn.

Camryn walked the short distance to frozen yogurt. She heard a laugh she had grown to love in the past few weeks. France.

She walked over to pay for her yogurt.
She went over to the self service machines to cater to herself in her favourite flavours.

She heard the laugh,again.

She turned her head in its direction and squinted her eyes to see France with a girl his age being too close. The girl keep on touching France everywhere she could possibly reach.

"He has me fucked up for real."

Camryn walked over towards them. She tapped France on his shoulder and his smile faded.

"What are you doing here?", he asked.

"Is that how you greet your girl? Never mind, I see you already have one making you smile and whatnot. "

"Hey, I'm Stacey."

"Did I ask you? Exact-motherfucking-ly. Know your place."

"Eh"
