"How much longer is this going to take?" I whined. We had been in the mall for what seemed like hours, waiting.
"He'll be here shortly." Alli reassured me. I smacked my head on the wall behind us, frustrated.
I saw a familiar dark figure walk by in the distance, along with Adam. I watched them from afar. They stepped into Hot Topic, and disappeared into the store.
Alli noticed my change of emotion, and followed my gaze. I smile crept onto her face, I could practically see the gears in her head turning.
"Let's go in there, but just to look." She said, pointing. I knew exactly what she meant, and turned my head to face hers. I looked at her disapprovingly. "When's the last time you bought something from there?" I battled. She knew what I was getting at, and smiled wider. She wasn't going to let me win that easily.
"Don't knock it, 'till you try it." She grasped my wrist, and pried me off the wall.
I heaved a sigh. "What about Drew?" I questioned, walking half-heartedly across the open floor.
She rolled her eyes, "He's always late anyway." She let go of my hand, and walked into the store, crouching below a small isle. I paused at the doorway, and took a quick glance at Eli. He was searching through CD's, while Adam held up a few shirts before him, asking which one's he liked more.
Alli's hand shot out, pulled me in, and down to the ground.
"Alli-" I was interrupted by a shush.
The boys drew closer to us, and Alli crawled in the opposite direction. I decided to start following Alli's lead, avoiding the embarrassment of getting caught.
They stopped at a specific lane, gawking at the women's clothing before them. I couldn't help but over hear there conversation.
"I'd like to see you get Clare into this." Adam taunted. I was guessing he was holding up a very revealing and racy item.
"You would like that, wouldn't you?" Eli asked. Adam didn't respond, so Eli continued. "That, my dear friend, will probably never be seen on Clare. For in fact, she is Saint Clare." I felt a scowl tugging on the corners of my lips.
"Eli, I'm serious." Adam retorted, looking for a real response.
"I am too, Adam. I mean, it'd be more likely for a terrorist to bomb this store, then to see Clare in that." Eli answered.
Alli turned her head back at me, her expression difficult to read. She slowly stood up far enough so she could see the clothing Adam was holding. Catching a quick glimpse, she sat back down afraid of being seen.
She didn't half to explain herself, I was way ahead of her.
We sat patiently as they moved on to a different part of the store, and found ourselves at their previous isle.
I wasn't exactly sure which item I'd be acquainted to until Alli snagged it off the hangers. It was practically a leotard, without straps. It possessed some sort of leg length, but not much. I slapped my palm to my four-head at the fact of those boys little maturity. I grabbed the piece and started heading toward the dressing rooms, unnoticed.
Alli stood all the way up, and straightened out her dress. She walked over to Adam and Eli.
"Adam, Eli, what brings you guys here?" I heard her ask. I grabbed a pair of fish-net leggings, and scrambled into the nearest fitting room. I pulled into the outfit and listened to their conversation.
"Guy's day." Adam answered uninterested. "The more important question is why you're here." Eli added, accusingly.
Alli spoke slower then normal. "Oh, you know just a typical day, hanging with-" On cue, I opened the door and peaked my head out. I felt a pair of blue and green eyes watching me.
"Alli" I paused, waiting for her to look my way. "The zippers alittle stuck." I pushed to door out to the full extent, turning around. I peered back at my back, and back at her. "Mind helping me?" I gave a faint smile.
I switched my eyes over to Eli and Adam. Adam was watching Eli intently, not meeting my gaze. Eli's eyes were wide and he was frozen, unmovable.
Alli walked over, and pulled up the zipper. "Clare, you honestly look hot." She whispered I my ear.
"Yeah, I think I'll get this." I said, and Adam's eyes flickered over to me. "What do you guys think?" I turned toward Eli and Adam, resting my hands on my hips.
They both looked at each other, silently deciding who'd start.
Eli began, "It's, uh, classy." He didn't meet my eyes.
Adam twisted toward me and sighed, "Eli thinks you look hot." Eli smacked him upside the head, and awkwardly looked at me.
I scoffed, "Really? Huh." I said, and closed the door, quickly changing back.
I could hear Alli laughing at their expressions. I came back out, and walked toward the cashier. I purchased the item, and sauntered back over to her.
"When will I be able to get you into that, out of the mall?" Eli asked me, a smirk present on his face.
"When you find that you have the balls to." I answered, starting to head out the door.
"Now, if you'll excuse us, Saint Clare and I" Alli said, cutting through them. I bumped into Eli's left side while walking, making him stumble.
"Have a store to bomb." I finished, a smug smile present on my face.
