"Wren, listen to my voice," Jandro stated soothingly. He really loved her. Wren had been an emotional wreck ever since that terrible night a week ago. Courtney and her got into this huge argument over nothing eight nights ago, and it didn't end up well. She smashed Wren's rental car into a tree and ran off. The insurance companies weren't helping and Wren had to pay for the car out of her own pocket. I had read her my entire "Carry On, Simon" fan fiction and she still hadn't calmed down. That's how I knew she was really upset. I had tried calling dad, but he didn't think it was a big deal. But I couldn't really focus on Wren now. I had to keep my eye on Levi. He kept skipping work and school to hang out with me, and as much as I loved that, he was getting really unfocused.
"I have to go see Levi. We have a date tonight at some fancy restaurant on campus and I have to go shopping," I explained to Jandro and Wren. "Wanna come with, Wren?"
"Well, I am not feeling great, but I can't miss picking out a dress with you. Let's go to Shore Mall. It's like fifteen minutes away," Wren said. It was our first fancy date, so I had to look awesome. I normally wouldn't care, but for this one night, I wanted to look decent. Wren was the fashion expertise out of both of us, so she was the girl to go shopping with. I texted Reagan to see if she wanted to come with, but she already had plans with some hot lunch date that she was going on. She said that she (hopefully) wouldn't see me tonight.
In the car, Wren and I were a little quiet. We both were excited for the year to be ending, but I didn't want to leave campus and Levi, and she didn't want to leave Jandro. When we arrived at the Shore mall, it was packed with high school teenagers, large families chasing around, and all kinds of people. Personally, it was the most action I had seen since I was back in high school. College was never like that. People were very grown up and mature, which I didn't mind, since I'd been that way since I was in seventh grade. Unfortunately, I spotted Nick at this local band merch store called "Hype" talking to some emo girls that he had met. I couldn't believe him. He was ignorant and selfish. Thank god that I have Levi, or I would have given up on boys completely.
Macy's, Forever 21, Wet Seal, and Kohl's all were stops made that something was actually purchased at. I looked at my total outfit for tonight: A black mini skirt, a polka dotted headband, a mint green blouse, and a black cardigan. I was ready for tonight.
