Chapter 2

One week till school starts. That means its that time of year again. Time for shopping. I like to shop, for like 30 minutes then after the first 30 minutes it becomes torture. Yet that is the plan for today. Kendra, Bridget and Holly all want to go shopping. Me however, I'm happy in my basketball shorts, skinny jeans and comic themed shirts. I care how I look I just don't overly pamper myself.

I hopped in my car, which I fixed up with my dad. He was really cool with me liking girls. It shocked him at first, I mean I would've been shocked to if I walked in and my 13 year old was making out with someone. Dad treats me like the son he never had. We watch football, basketball, volleyball, indycar racing, just about any sport out there together. He taught me a lot about cars too. I know the engine inside and out. I know one day it will come in handy for something. I put my key in the ignition, thinking I could go back inside and play video games instead of going to the mall. Why did I agree to go. I honestly cant remember. I need to stop talking to them when I get sleepy, I always agree to something stupid. I put the car in reverse and backed out.

Arriving at the mall I turned my radio down and found a place to park that wasn't too far from the entrance next to the food court. Every time we all met up at the mall, we met up at the same table. The one right in front Chick-fil-a next to the trash cans. I saw Bridget and Kendra at our table eating. Kendra got her usual chicken sandwich meal and Bridget was eating some kind of salad. Holly and Bridget were always dieting and trying to stay in tip top perfect shape while me and Kendra always stuffed our faces with whatever we found to be eatable. That's when I noticed Holly wasn't there. I took a seat at the table. "Where's Holly?"

"jeez, don't even say hello to us." Bridget joked. "she's in the bathroom. Are you ready for some shopping?" she asked too excitedly. They all know how much I detest shopping for long amounts of time.

"as ready as I'll ever be." I said taking one of Kendra's fries. Kendra swatted at my hand as I took another one.

"hey! Buy your own." she said putting her food on the other side of her, making it hard for me to get to.

"sorry, did you want to hand feed me?" I joked.

Kendra looked at her sandwich. "only a small bite." she lifted the sandwich to my mouth. "open." I opened my mouth and took a big bite. She playfully punched me in the arm. "I said small. Jesus it looks like Jaws attacked by lunch."

"arentwejustlittlemssdramatic " I mumbled with a full mouth.

"aww you guys would make such a cute couple." Bridget said teasingly.

Me and Kendra looked at each other and busted out into a fit of laughter at the thought of being an actual couple. We know we would look good together and we had kissed a few times, but it wasn't anything special. I love Kendra a lot, just not like that though. "na w- hey Holly's coming back." I said, taking notice she was talking to the new cheerleader, who then said goodbye and went in the other direction. "how's the new girl?" I asked when Holly was with in distance.

"good. She's here with your two favorite girls. Miley and Lily." damn she's so pretty, it's a shame she hangs out with them.

"oh my gosh, you have a thing for the new girl!" Bridget loudly whispered with a massive smile.

"I wont lie.. She's fucking drop dead sexy."

"wait so you like her? Like, like her like her?" Kendra asked.

"no, I don't get crushes." I replied. "actually I take that back. I've always had a thing for The Black Cat in the Spider Man comics." they all had a good laugh at that. I don't see how its funny though, I mean come on. A girl that flexible, flirty and covered in a black suit with white fur trim. Ok, maybe that does sound a little odd but she looks good in it.

…..

We've been at this for an hour and they haven't bought anything yet. Right now we're in Charlotte Ruse. Game Stop is right across the hall. I think I can manage to sneak away if I'm really quiet. I have to time it perfectly. I waited until the three girls had their backs turned looking on clothes racks when I made a mad dash for the door. I bolted for Game Stop, dodging people and their shopping bags and little children. Running through the doors of Game Stop I jumped over a small child like an Olympic hurdler. I didn't look back to see the mother. I knew if I did she's cuss me out or 'give me a talkin to' as I like to call it.

"hey Demi." Nick, the nerdy guy who works the cashier called out to me. "nice jump, no wonder you're the star player with moves like that." Nick had to be one of the truest nerds on the planet. Now and days nerds aren't like they used to be. They've been breaking the stereotype. But Nick, ha Nick is a huge nerd. He even had the thick rimmed glasses. He's top in our class, always wears a sweater vest. This guy is classic. I don't make fun of him like other people do, I'm actually decent friends with him.

"yea, thanks." I said walking over to the counter.

"another shopping spree?" wow, he knows me better than I thought.

"yep. I got away though. Can I see the list of the release dates for PS3." I guess this is what I do when I come to the mall. Look at what games are coming out and maybe preorder a few. Me and Nick have gotten in some pretty intense arguments over which system was better. Xbox or PS3. He has both but always picks Xbox which then clashes with my PS3 preference. The argument always ends the same way every time. One of us will yell 'Fine lets take this to the ring.' We play Wii boxing to settle our arguments. I know it doesn't make much sense to other people but it makes perfect sense to us. I feel like such a geek when I come in here for long periods of time. I guess its my athleticism and good looks that keep me popular.

"Demi!" fuck they found me. I know Holly's voice anywhere.

I dropped the list and looked at Nick as he was making and ooh sound like I was a child about to scolded by my mother. "one of these days Nick.. I'm gonna kick your ass, and I'm not talking about on the Wii." I whispered to him.

He smiled. "ooh I'm shaking."

I took a deep breath. "better be. Maybe I can sweet talk her." Nick shook his head no and mouthed 'don't do it'. I turned to face Holly with a smile plastered on my face. "Hey babe." then I winked at her.

"don't babe me" but then her serious face went to one with a smile. "..but because you did I'll treat you by going in your favorite store."

Were in my favorite store now. "..but were already here."

"No we're not." she walked over to me, grabbing my hand and pulling me out of the store. "Come on." where else in the mall could we be going, oh maybe the arcade.

I was wrong. I was very very wrong. And she was right. This is my favorite store ever. Victoria's Secret. "I need your help."

"with what?"

"I want to look good for my date with Joe tomorrow night." Holly and Joe had been dating for a few months now and I don't see why. Joe is a jerk, he treats his brother like crap. Oh yea and his brother is Nick. Holly doesn't even know because Joe likes to pretend their not related. I didn't even know until I went to Nick's house to play some new video game Nick was in love with, and saw Joe there.

"So you want me to watch you try on sexy underwear? Then give you my opinion?" did I mention it's good to be me.

"yea, I value your opinion more than Kendra's or Bridget's on this subject." they all did when it came to date nights. I was the one they would ask if they looked good. They asked me because they think that if I like it, their boyfriends will like it too.

We began searching through the lacy thongs and lacy bras, because Holly loves the look of lace. I'm a more simple person. As long as its sexy looking underwear I'm good. "Holly what color is yo-" I said as I looked up from the underwear and back in the direction of the changing rooms when I saw the new girl my mouth stopped moving. My mouth started watering as she stood there fiddling with the white bra she had on. She looked like an angel. When Holly looked where I was looking the door closed and my amazing view was gone in the blink of an eye.

"What are you looking at?"

"nothing." I said picking up a red laced thong. "Go try that on." I wonder who new girl is back there with. Shit what's her name. It was something Gomez.

"um.. Are you coming?"

"huh?… oh yea, yea." who would pass up seeing Holly naked, only a crazy person. We headed for the changing rooms and saw who the Gomez girl was here with. I should've remembered from earlier that it was Miley and Lily.

"Hi." Holly said trying to be nice to her fellow cheerleaders.

Of course I chose to ignore them and they chose to ignore me. It's better than trying to get along. I cant stand the two of them anyway. "Hello Holly" they replied.

Then she came out of the changing room, the Gomez girl. "Hey Selena." oh that's her name. How'd I forget that? Selena looked at me and Holly questionably.

"Miley told me you're a lesbian. Are you two dating?" Selena asked me bluntly and I think I just choked on air.

I was coughing as I said "no. well yea. But no, no, I'm single." why does everyone think I'm dating one of my friends.

Miley chimed in with her evil smile. "they're not dating but.." then she did they cheerleader death glare at Holly. God I hate how they can do that. "I would like to know what Joe would think if he knew you were having.. Demi.. watch you undress."

"where have you been Miley, all summer long we've all shared the same dressing room. In case you forgot basketball ended when cheerleading started. Besides Joe knows that I ask Demi for her opinion on my clothes. He's never once complained" I love Holly, she always knows what to say and does it in a calm manner. If it were me talking I would've been so much more aggressive about it.

"I never changed in there over the summer. I didn't feel comfortable having.. Demi in there with me and neither did Lily, and Selena wouldn't if she was there." Miley snickered. Aw man, the hot girl's a bitch too. That's just great.

"Wow Selena. I didn't expect that." Holly said again, so calm.

"I-It's not that I didn't feel comfortable.. It's just .. Um, my dads all military and very against .. I go to church.. My family drags, I mean takes, goes to church!… a-and.." she was rambling like crazy. I think every single one of us back there was confused. Selena looked at Miley and then back at me. ".. I- I don't want you to check me out.. It's wrong… what you do is wrong." No what's wrong is me wanting to tell her she has a purty mouth. I was watching her lips as she talked, they look delicious. But I think flirting wouldn't help the situation.

I smiled at my own corny thoughts. "Win Championships?" I said with the same smile.

A faint smile appeared on Selena's face for a brief moment before Miley spoke. "No, commit sin." Miley turned to Lily and Selena. "Come on girls, lets get out of here." And with that they walked out. I wanted to test the waters a little bit. So when Selena walked passed me to leave I winked at her. She smiled and her cheeks went a slight shade of red. I can so get this girl if I want her.

"Oh yea, still got it." I said arrogantly after they were clear from the changing area.

"do you have to flirt with every girl you meet?" Holly asked, pulling me in and closing the door of the small changing room and locking it.

"yes, it makes them feel beautiful and every girl needs to feel beautiful." I said as I took my seat on the small bench and watched Holly get undressed.
