"Hmmm... Does the pink skirt match this necklace?"
I looked over at Melanie as she asked the dumb question.
"Sure.. Yeah, whatever. It's great" I sighed, disgusted by the all the girly shopping with my twin sister.
"Oh, come on, Sam" Carly said. "This place isn't- Ooh! Half off sale!" She rushed over to the clearance cart.
Ugh, never take me shopping with Carly and Melanie. Ever.
As Melanie continued looking at clothes and trying them on in the dressing room my mind was on something else. Melanie's date last night. Freddie? Fredwardo? Fredachino? Why?
"So um.. the date you had last night.. " I said cautiously
"Yes?" Melanie asked, paying more attention to her shoes than to me, I knew I could ask her now.
"Was it.. fun?" Cut to the chase, Puckett. Melanie nodded. "Do you think these look good? Maybe with an up-do or something.. I don't know, what do you think"
I rolled my eyes. "Oh, yes, great, Up-do. Fantastic. Did you hold hands?"
She stopped and turned around. "Why are you asking me all these questions?" Carly came over with her shopping bags. "What questions?"
"Sam was just asking me about my-"
"THE ECONOMY! YES, THAT ECONOMY!" I shouted. There was a long pause. I cleared my throat. "Not doing that well." Carly smirked. "Sam, you can tell me anything, you don't need to be afraid."
Oh yes I do.
Melanie laughed her little goody-two-shoes laugh. "Oh silly, She was asking about my date with Freddie last night"
Carly looked over at me. "Freddie?"
At that point I didn't know what to do, or what to say.
So I left immediately.
