Chapter 9: Shopping Spree

~Blackbear_ Do, Re, Mi~

"Kit Grayson?"

"Yeah. He's one of the players from LK High."

Liv pulled back the curtain and stood out of the changing room in a pale pink bikini. She was wearing an off the shoulder ruffle crop top and midwaist bottom.

"What do you think of this one?" she asked, spinning on herself.

"I like it. The colors nice" I said looking up from my phone.

It was mid afternoon and Liv and I had both met up at the mall. Summer was arriving and we both needed new swimsuits.

"I think I'll take it" and she disappeared back into the changing room.

In the mean time, I went back to searching through my phone. By the time we paid and walked out of the store, I had found what I was looking for.

"Here" I said to Liv, handing her my phone " It's the blond one on the right."

She starred down at the picture of LKHS's football team I had found on the school's web.

"And so what's going on between you two?"

"Nothing."

She turned to me with a I don't believe you for one second look.

"He's cute..."

"Seriously? Cute?"

"Okay, he's hot!" I admitted, my face going red.

We entered a lingerie store and went over to the swimsuits section. I looked through and picked out a plain black swimsuit with spaghetti straps and an open back.

"I'll go and try on" I said to Liv, heading to the changing rooms.

I quickly got undressed and tried to slip it on. I struggled to get it over my hips and I could definitely not bring the straps high enough to put my arms through.

"Liv!" I whispered/shouted.

I stuck my head out of the side of the curtain and found my best friend looking at sunglasses.

"Liv!" I called again.

This time she turned and quickly joined me.

"Could you please go and find me a size up?"

"Yeah. What do you think of these glasses?"

"A definite no" I laughed at her duck face.

She put them back and arrived not long after with the swimsuit which fetted me much better.
We left the shop and order ice cream before sitting down on one of the benches.

"I really needed this" Liv said leaking her pistachio and vanilla ice cream.

"Same."

Pilled up in my cone was banana and chocolat chip ice cream, covered in whipped cream chocolat sauce and colorful sprinkles.

"Antonio's ice cream will forever be my favorite."

He owned a small trolley-like thing that moved around the mall and, there for, it was never in the same place which meant we had to hunt it down each time we came.

"So how was ?"

"It was great! We spent most of the time by the pool or on the beach..."

And for the next 15 minutes she went on about her evenings out with her cousins, Jake and Oliver, that brought her to one of their friend's parties, the roule between her father and aunt, the problems with the neighbours...

I got home and put on a fashion show for mum and Harper. My sister was sulking because my swimsuit was apparently prettier then her's. I grabbed my shopping bags and dumped them in a corner of my room before locking myself in the bathroom.

I turned my music on and run myself a bath. I slipped into the burning hot water and lay down, my eyes closed. This was pure heaven. I hummed and moved my head to the rhythm of Wait On Me by Rixton.
I took a deep breath before letting myself slip under the surface. I let the air out of my lungs, making bubbles, before sitting back up, my hair much heavier now that it's filled with water.

It was only when the music changed I heard his voice, muffled by the sound of the shower.

I stood up, steadying myself with the sink that was in front of me as I grabbed my speaker and turned it off. I catched myself on the curtain as I tried to sit back down with out splashing water everywhere.

I sat as still as possible, not making any noise, as I listened to him sing.

"Do, re, mi, fa, so fuckin' done with you, girl
So fuckin' done with all the games you play
I ain't no tic-tac-toe
Send the X and O's on the other note

I'm do, re, mi, fa, so fuckin' done with you, baby
So send the X and O's on another note, I'm a ghost"

I didn't know the song and it was hard to hear over the sound of the shower. It was like a rap but with a bit more singsong to it.

"If I could go back to the day we met
I probably would've stayed in bed
You wake up everyday and make me feel like I'm incompetent
Designer shoes and Xanax tabs
Complements your make-up bag
You never had to buy yourself a drink
'Cause everybody want to tap that ass sometime

And you got me thinking lately
Bitch, you crazy
And nothing's ever good enough
I wrote a little song for ya, it go like"

The chorus started again and I tried to join in but I just ended up humming and singing the end of verse.
