Is It Really Worth the Fight?

3. claire's.

Nash's POV:

"Oh, uh, my name is Elizabeth." she falshed me a beautiful smile.

"Nice to finally properly meet you Elizabeth." I smiled back. "I'm Nash."

"Alright guys, that's it for today!" the speaker started talking again. "I hope you had fun. If you need a map of the school or if you have any additional questions, go to one of the students on the back wall. You all are dismissed." Everybody stood up and cleared out the auditorium. I followed the crowd to the lobby and waited for Hayes to finish with his orientation.

"Hayes!" I yelled over the crowd noise and raised my hand. "Over here!"

Hayes jogged up to me and we walked to my car.

"How was your orientation?" I asked while driving us home.

"Dude, I saw the hottest girl, and I got her number." He dangled a piece of paper in front of my face.

"Oh yeah? Call it." I chuckled.

Hayes dialed the number on the paper and not to my suprise, an automated voice informed the number was discontinued.

"Shit." Hayes mumbled under his breath.

"She gave you a fake number!" I laughed, hard.

Hayes shot me a death glare and turned his attention straight to his twitter feed.

We finally reached home and I went straight to my bedroom and plopped down on my bed.

"Nash how was orientation?" My mom said, opening the door.

"It was good, I guess." I answered, scrolling through Twitter on my MacBook.

"Here," she said, handing me a wad of money. "take Hayes shopping for school clothes, and get yourself some too."

"Thanks mom." I slowly took the money from her hand.

"Remember, you can spend it all-" she began.

"But don't spend it all in one place." I smiled, finishing her sentence.

My grandpa used to always say that to us when he would give us money to spend.

I checked the time as she walked out of my room. 4:27PM.

I changed into a pair of jeans, a white pocket tee, and a thin leather jacket.

"Nash, you ready?" Hayes called from his bedroom next door to mine.

"Yeah, I just need to borrow your white vans." I called back, grabbing my phone.

Hayes came to my room with his vans and handed them to me.

"Thanks bruh." I said, slipping the shoes on.

"How much did mom give you?" Hayes questioned as we pulled up to the mall.

"Uhh, I don't know. Count it." I handed him my wallet.

Hayes counted $240 and handed it back to me.

I grabbed two sunglasses and beanies out of the glove compartment and handed a pair to Hayes. We both put on our 'disguises' and checked each other out.

"Ready?" I asked.

Hayes nodded his head and we headed inside.

The first place we went to was Pacsun. Thankfully nobody recognized us yet, considering the amount of girls we walked by, wearing our merch.

At Pacsun, Hayes got two pairs of jeans, a couple shirts, and a jacket like mine. All I got was another pair of jeans and a couple of cool pocket tees.

After Pacsun, we went to Abercrombie & Fitch, American Eagle, Hollister, and Nike. I ended up with some flannels, jeans, and Nike socks. Hayes had basically the same thing.

Last place we went to was Claire's. I wanted to get Sky something for school.

"What should we get Sky?" I asked, opening the door for Claire's.

"Get her a horse bracelet, if they have one." Hayes said, heading to the back of the store.

"Here!" Hayes chimed, dangling a charm bracelet in the air with horses on it.

"Do you think it'll fit around her wrist?" I said, examining it.

"Do you guys need any help?" An angelic voice asked behind me.

"I don't know if this will fit around my little sisters wrist." I said turning around.

"How old is she?" The voice asked.

"She's 5." I answered, looking up from the horse bracelet.

My eyes widened under my sunglasses.

"She, uh, yeah," I stammered. "She's definitely 5." I examined Elizabeth's beautifully confused face under my sunglasses.

"Well there is a smaller version of this bracelet, right here." She said walking to the other side of the store.

"Thank you so much." I followed her.

I look at Hayes and took my sunglasses and beanie off while she grabbed the little horse bracelet.

'What the hell are you doing?" He mouthed.

I stuck up my pointer finger and turned my attention towards Elizabeth.
