Jay didn't say anything after that, but I knew he saw it. I started shaking my leg, I knew he was gonna freak out when I got back. I guess I should try to enjoy my last bit of freedom before I have to go back. I finally see Kiera and Laylani coming out of the store and walk up to them.

"Where do you wanna go next?" I ask.

"Let's go to Victoria's Secret!" Laylani said.

Kiera squealed, but I said nothing. I wasn't really comfortable with my body, so I avoided buying cute underwear. I would just get some pajamas, and say I already had stuff. Kiera began picking up essentially strings and see-through bras. I honestly didn't understand why she wouldn't just be naked, all the strings and lace were too confusing for me. I briefly glanced at the underwear, but I didn't see anything. I started to walk to the perfume when Laylani yelled my name causing a few ladies in the store to look at her. I slowly walked towards her with an embarrassed look on my face, but she just continued looking at something.

"This set would be so cute on you, and this one too!" she said.

I looked at what she was pointing at and saw a plain black set and a polka dot black set. I was fine with the plain one, but the polka dot one was pretty see through.

"I like the plain one, but I'm not wearing the other one," I said

"I like the plain one, but I'm not wearing the other one," I said.

"Oh come, just try it on, please," she begged.

"Fine," I said and went to the fitting room.

I put on the clear underwear they give you, then the set. It was really cute, but I still wasn't comfortable with it. I took it off and left the fitting room.

"I still don't want it, it's too revealing for me," I said and set it down.

"It barely shows anything!" Kiera said, "You know what, I'll just get it then."

I said ok and asked if they were done shopping. They said they were, and we all headed up to the register. I hurried and paid for my set before waiting for Kiera and Laylani. They finished paying and Kiera offered to hold my bag. 

"It's fine, I'll manage," I said.

"Your pregnant, let me do something nice for you!" she said.

I eventually gave in and handed her my bag. 

"Let's get some pretzels, and then we'll leave," Kiera said.

I agreed, but Laylani groaned.

 "I'm gonna get a hot dog cause pretzels suck, I'll meet you guys back here," Laylani said, before leaving.

Kiera laughed and got in line, I got a pizza pretzel, and she got a cinnamon coated one. She paid for it all despite my protests and we sat a table. A few minutes later Laylani appeared with a hot dog. We all began talking about life, and I felt like I had made some real friends. A little while later we finished our food and started to walk to Laylani's car. Once we got to the parking lot, I saw Jackson walking towards us.
