Comicon Kisses

Chapter 3

Remi

"So how tall are you? You said you were short but I didn't know this short," Kim asks jokingly.

We're almost to the mall, I'm leading the way.
I broke the ice and asked if they knew about me from social media. They were awkward about it but said they did, but it doesn't bother me any. That's how I've made some friends already.

"Five foot, exactly," I answer.
"You're the shortest in the group today then," Jamie comments.
"I guess I am. How tall are you two?"
"5'5," Jamie says.
"5'9."
"Oh wow, so is your sister as tall as you?" I ask Kim.
"No she's a little shorter, she's only 5'8."
I nod as it goes quiet.
"Do you know what type of Little Debbie sweets you're getting?" I ask Jamie.
"I don't know yet, maybe a box of brownies or Zebra cakes."
"No, you gotta get honeybuns. It's in the name, meant to be," I joke.
Jamie chuckles a little, "I guess I can grab a box of those too."

We quickly ended the walk to the mall, reaching it in a quick couple minutes.
Jamie holds the door open for Kim and I, following behind us.
"I'm gonna go look around, good luck finding the cakes," Kim says.
Jamie nods Kim off.

Jamie and I keep walking towards the grocery store part in the mall.
"Do you live around here?" Jamie asks. "I mean you seem to know your way around."
"Uh, yeah. Heath and I share a place. Do you?"
She shakes her head, "Kim and I live in Canada, but Elena lives in a state close by."
"Wait, really? So when did you get here? You had to of taken a plane."
Jamie smiles, "This morning, really early this morning. Kim and I had a long nap before getting ready and coming to the Con."
"You must be tired then."
She shrugs, "All the excitement is keeping up."
  "Do you like Cons?" I ask.
  "Actually, this is my first one."
  "Wait, so you've never been to a Con before?"
  She shakes her head.
  "You have a big storm coming," I joke.

Jamie

  It wasn't long before we made our way back to the Con, meeting up with Heath and Elena. The walk was filled with random conversations about stuff from the Con to stuff about Instagram.
  We met with the "couple of the day" near the exit we took to leave before we stared our rounds at the Con, Heath and Remi joining us.
  I bought some plushes, candy, and some merch. I think I bought the most in the group, but I wasn't the only one to buy stuff. Kim bought lots of subscriptions to different food boxes that'll ship to our place in Canada.

  Sadly we are all headed out, Heath taking Elena do his. We're waiting on Remi to finish saying goodbye to a friend before we let her know what's going down.

  "-but tomorrow is a new day and we can do all those different things then," Kim answers my complaint.
  "But I was hoping to get to watch some of the skits."
  "We will, right Remi?"
  I turn and see Remi walking outside.
  "What?" Remi asks.
  "Jamie wants to watch skits but she wanted to today."
  Remi gives a little laugh, "Today's over, you're gonna have to wait for tomorrow."
  "I know, but I want to do it all. I have a problem."
  "No, you're just a excited. It's totally normal. But, there are some things I'm stopping you from doing. Like Karaoke."
  I smile at the thought of Remi doing karaoke.
  "I don't know if you wanna stop her from that one. She's a passionate singer," Kim comments.
  "Shut up," I blush.
  "She is, but we have more important things to talk about," Elena cuts in.

  Remi turns her attention to her and I to Kim.
  "Can we go get McDonalds? I'm hungry."
  Kim giggles, "For sure. I'm not sure if it'll taste different from Canada but we can try."
  Kim gains the other's attention, "We're going to go get food. Text us what's going on."
  "Actually we already know, I'm coming with you two," Remi answers.

  I immediately get a thought of why she'd want to and am slightly grossed out. "Cool. Is McDonalds okay?" Kim asks.
  Remi nods, "I'll drive."
