Vanessas POV

"What am I even supposed to get you for Christmas?" Caroline asked me playfully as we walked around the mall.

"Isn't the whole point of Christmas to surprise someone." I reply playfully as I grab a cute Christmas sweater and hold it up to Caroline.

"Yeah but it's literally impossible.... you never want anything." She complains as she follows me around the store.

"Well you could always get me Harry styles." I say sarcastically causing her to roll her eyes at me.

"Can we go into some men's store so I can find something for Jake." Caroline asked me.

"Yeah.... imagine having a boyfriend you actually have to shop for." I say playfully as we walk out of the store.

"You could get a boyfriend if you actually wanted one." Caroline huffs as she walks beside me.

"Well I don't want one so it doesn't matter." I reply sharply.

We walk into the men's store and my eyes land on a very attractive guy. He had brown curly hair and he was looking through a bunch of shirts. The second I saw his face my mind flickered to Daniel. Why was I thinking about Daniel when there was a cute guy right in front of me?

"Will you stop staring at that random guy?" Caroline mumbled as she yanked me by my arm.

"Sorry I got distracted." I mumble as I glance at him again.

"What clothes do guys even like?" Caroline asked as she looked around frantically.

"I don't know." I mumble as I shake my head.

"Hey! Random brown haired boy!" Caroline yelled at the guy I had previously been staring at.

He gave her a puzzled look as he pointed at himself.

"Yeah you! What kinda clothes would you buy that are cool?" She asks him.

"Uh.... There's a cool section at the back.... my friends actually over there...." he told us as he pointed towards the back.

"Thanks hot stranger." Caroline replied playfully as she walked towards where he was pointing.

"My names Jack!" He yelled at her.

I laughed as I followed her over to the section of clothes. There were Christmas decorations all around the store causing my heart to feel warm.

"Stop... that shirt is so hot!" Caroline gasped as she pointed up at a random shirt.

She tried to jump and grab it but it was very high up.

"I hate being short.... Vanessa will you get it?" She pleaded as she struggled to grab the shirt.

"Why the hell do they put shirts up so high?" I mumble in disbelief as I reach for it.

I can't even touch the bottom of it due to how high up it was.

"Just go ask the worker to get it down." I mumble as I look back at Caroline.
