[at the mall]
3:07 pm

"why are we here exactly?" i asked max.

"ah, well, tomorrow there's a party for all of the exchange kids and their housing families. well, the parents don't come but yeah. we figured we should take you guys to get outfits," max answers, looking at me and kathryn.

"sounds fun," kathryn commented.

harvey nods as we walk through the mall, looking at all of the arrays of stores.

"oooo!!" kathryn exclaims, looking into a certain store. "wanna go in and look around?" kathryn asks me. i nod. we look at max and harvey.

"we'll meet you guys at the food court at 4 k?" max said, allowing us freedom. we nodded and took off into the store.

{max's pov}

harvey and i walked down the mall corridors, looking into shops and chatting.

"so, you gonna ask ali?" he questioned, smirking.

"well.. i already did.." i reply, hoping he doesn't blow up.

"WHAT. why didn't i know this?!" he almost screams, stopping in our tracks and looking at me.

he looked as if he was betrayed big time.

"because i didn't want to pressure you into asking kathryn!" i reply, keeping a cool tone.

he looks around annoyed.

"i'm sorry ok? i just didn't know how to say it," i inform, obviously lighting up his mood a tiny bit.

he nods and we keep walking.

we walk into different stores and start spending money.

i ended up getting clothes for the party and ali a bracelet.

i bought a white semi-fancy button down short- sleeve shirt, dark blue jeans, and some dressy yet casual brown suede shoes. ali's bracelet was gold and had an 'A' dangling charm on it. i was sure she'd love it.

{harvey's pov}

while max got his fancy, posh, clothes, i chose a 'different' approach for my style of clothing. don't get me wrong, mine's still dressier than usual, it's just not max dressy.

i bought a concrete-grey colored button down long-sleeve shirt, black jeans with a grey wash over them, brown leather lace up ankle-boot-type dressy shoes, and to finish it off, i got a black leather jacket to wear over it. i think kathryn would like it.

i got kathryn a silver necklace with the word 'wanderlust' on it. i knew she loved traveling.

i then went over to max to discuss how to ask her to the party.

{kathryn's pov}

ali and i ran into the store and looked through every piece of clothing there was.

once we gathered a lot of different clothes, we went into changing rooms and tried them on, having our own personal fashion show.

at the end of it, we chose our outfits.

ali bought a chiffon pink colored, fitted mini dress with some cute brown sandals. she got a gold chained choker to wear with it.

i, on the other hand, picked a maroon skater skirt and a cream colored long-sleeve tight fitting shirt to tuck into the skirt. i paired it with some lace up black heels, which were SO cute.

"kathryn! that's so cute!" ali exclaimed, hugging me.

"the same goes for you," i replied with a smile.

"i found this really cute silver-ish diamond bracelet for you to wear too," she said, handing me the bracelet.

"aww thanks!" i replied.

we then checked out and went into the food court. we ordered starbucks and waited for the boys.

"oh i have to confess something.." ali suddenly brought up.

uh oh.

i looked at her and put my drink down.

"you can tell me anything, you know.." i replied.

she nodded and exhaled a small breath.

"um, yesterday before everything with harvey happened, max asked me to be his date to the party," she vented, looking at me.

i was so confused.

"wow..." i finally replied.

"are you mad?" she asked, worry clear in her tone.

"no, no, of course not, i'm happy for you!" i said, smiling a little.

"thank you," she said happily.

i nodded and we continued to drink our white girl drinks.

i was worried, honestly.

i like harvey. already.

and he doesn't like me.

so i was going to be alone at the party.

yay.
