We got to the mall and I hopped outta the car. I lead the way to Zumiez and attacked Clayton with a hug.
"Hiiiiiiiii Clayton!" I yelled in his ear.
"Haha hey Lyrie," he said with a laugh.
The boys immediately joined in and soon we were in a group hug. Cant breathe. This was a bad idea... I wriggled myself free and watched the boys all lose balance and fall on top of each other. "My bad," I giggled. They all grumbled as I helped them up.
I looked at Clayton, "What time do you get off?"
"In about an hour," he replied.
"Mhm, okay awesome! You can join our shopping excursion when you get off."
"Ha, alright then. What are you guys shopping for anyways?" He asked.
I smiled, "We are dress shopping!"
"Oh no..." He looked at Dalton and Brady.
Everyone knew that dress shopping wasnt exactly my favorite thing to do. I was waaaaay too picky. "Oh hush! Its not that bad!"
The guys all laughed and gave me 'uh huhs' and 'whatever you say'. I rolled my eyes. "Whatever...jerks!"
Brady turned his attention to the missing couch where the winter clothing was set up. "Hey dude, what happened to the games?"
"We had to put it in the back to make room for the winter shit. Jackets, snowboards and other shit like that. We just got the new Halo and its fucking sick!"
"Ah damn! I cant believe its not out here anymore." Brady pouted.
The manager came out and greeted us. He knew us pretty well because we were hear alot visiting Brady. He also use to manage the Pacsun that Brady worked at before it closed down. "Clayton telling you about the new Halo? You can go to the back and play it. I dont fucking care. It'd be nice to have some real competition."
"Fuck yes dude! I am so down!" He started walking towards the back room but turned back to look at me. "Shit, I cant. We're suppose to be looking for a dress for Lyrie."
I gave Brady a smile, "Its alright, you play while Clayton works. Dalton and I will be fine for an hour."
His eyes got big and he ran to hug me, "This is why you're my best friend!"
I laughed, "Of course. Now go!"
I turned to Dalton as Brady ran off, "Do you wanna ditch me too?"
He gave me a mock hurt face, "I would never!"
"Haha okay good! Lets go then!" I waved bye to Clayton and skipped outta the store.
I knew most people would be upset that their best friend left them to play a video game but honestly it didnt bother me. Hell, had it been something better I probably would have joined them. Thats just the way we were.
Dalton and I decided to shop for him first. What I loved about him was his appreciation for buying clothes because it matched mine. Where as Brady did most of his shopping online, Clayton basically had a closet full of everything Zumiez sold and Drew owned nothing but RVCA shirts and cutoff shorts.
We headed to H&M or as I liked to call it 'Any and everything Dalton Wixom'. I swear that boy could live in here. He picked out a few dress shirts and headed to the changing room.
Dalton came out to show me each of them. He'd been through a dark red, dark purple, light blue, black and was about to show me the dark blue. He stepped out of the dressing room and I stopped breathing. That boy looked stunning. The color made his baby blue eyes pop and made his dirty blond hair almost honey colored. How the hell can one shirt do all that?
