Us Against The World

Chapter 27

Sunday

"We should go the town mall for a dress. We're having a party for your birthday, plus you need a new style." She looks down at my button-up shirt, jeans, and combat boots.

"I like my style, though."

"We're going, so get over it."

"Choose a shop."

"I've never been to a mall, so help me."

"I'll take you to my favorite shops then." Lauren leads me to a lingerie store called Victoria's Secret, and skims through the different piles of underwear. I end up buying a few pieces of lace bra n pantos sets, as well as a new jacket. We walk out and I choose a store called Hot Topic. I pick out a Stone Temple Pilots t-shirt, Nirvana shirt, and a Halsey tank top.

"Are we done yet?" I whine, shuffling my feet.

"You still need a dress."

"Fine. One more shop, then I'm done."

"Deal." Lauren huffs out.

"Which one do you like?" Lauren holds up two dresses; one is aquamarine with a low-cut neckline, and the other is flame-like with wolves on the sleeves.

"I can't choose. Let me try them on." Lauren hands both dresses over the door into my hand. I quickly slide into the skinny, aquamarine dress, zipping it up, and stepping out of the dressing room.

"Look at you. That's gorgeous on you."

"I like this one better. The second one didn't look very nice on me." I say, rubbing the silk down my body.

"Okay, lets go. I'll check out for you." Lauren quickly pays for the dress, the total coming to a whopping $200, and we drive back to the mansion, where everyone's playing soccer in the front yard. Lauren and I jump out of the car, and walk over to a shirtless Derek and very sweaty, Tristan. One of the Gammas, Liam, kicks the soccer ball towards me, and I catch it in my hands.

"Throw it back, Luna." I shudder at the name.

"Can I join?" I ask, and Tristan nods. I throw my shoes into the grass, along with my shirt, leaving me in a see-through tank top. Halid wolf-whistles, and Tristan glares at the young Gamma.

"Join my team. Halid, for you punishment, I'm assigning you to Derek's team." The young Gamma soon-to-be-Beta sighs, and grumbles as he's forced to switch sides.

"Game on!" Kim blows the whistle, and our team starts maneuvering the ball around the field. Tristan kicks the ball in my direction, but Liam intercepts it. I dodge in and out, stealing the ball once again, and making the first goal.

Everyone just needs a day off from all the war and hardship, so I just decided on making it a shopping and soccer fun day.

Do we have any soccer fans here?
