Chapter 2: The Shopping Spree
Emma and Manny arrived at the huge mall, then pondered which shop they should go in first. But a group of guys, about 8 of them, stopped by Em and Manny and said, "Hey baby. Can I have your number?" Emma just looked glumly at them. They didn't even notice her. Manny just giggled and said, "Got a pen and paper?" They grabbed something as fast as they could and Manny scribbled her number onto it, signing it 'Sexy Girl from the Mall'. They took it, and the girls walked away. Emma thought, Hey that could be me soon after this bootylicous makeover Manny is going to give me.
Manny: happy sigh I just love being hot. It makes me feel so....so.....confident.
Emma: Why do you think I'm doing this? To be like you of course.
Manny: OK, fair enough. Now enough talking and lets shop!
First, they went in the store Hot Topic so Emma could get some new leather knee high boots, like the ones Manny had, and a black miniskirt. She also grabbed some fishnet hose. Next, they went in Wet Seal for tons of miniskirts, tight low-rise booty jeans, lots of halters and low cut belly shirts, and tons of jewelry. Emma picked out some belly chains and necklaces and earrings.
Manny: OK, that's your clothes, now comes the hard part: getting your belly button pierced.
Emma: Manny!! You know I could never stand to do that!
But then Emma thought back to Sean's words: "Got nothing to say" and how much she hurt after hearing it. She thought about all the guys hitting on Manny, and how much pain Sean caused her.
Manny: C'mon Em, I'll be right there with you.....
Emma: OK, I changed my mind. Lets go.
They waked into the belly button piercing shop with tons of cute rings. The piercer was a woman with tattoos and short pink hair, and tons of piercings. She kind of resembled Pink, Manny's favorite singer, except she was wilder. Is that what I'm going to look like, thought Emma.
Manny: Hey. Were here to get her (she pulled Emma up by her) belly button pierced.
The tattooers name was Roxanne. She eyed them suspiciously.
Roxanne: Yea, well, you cant get your belly button pierced unless you have an adult with you, or someone over 18.
Manny: Yea, well I'm her friend, and I'm 18.
She pulled out some card, and then Emma realized it was a fake ID. Emma stared. She didn't know Manny had a fake ID, but didn't say or do anything. She must have been using it to get into clubs and stuff.
Roxanne: OK, so since you have an adult with you, you can get it pierced now. First before we begin the piercing, you have to choose which ring you want me to pierce into you.
Emma turned her back and mouthed 'Manny!' Manny just winked at her, while Roxanne's head was turned.
Roxanne: OK, so choose any of these. There all $20, and it costs $20 to get your piercing.
Luckily, Manny had some extra money with her she gave to Emma, so she had enough. Emma eventually chose the cute glitter cherry ring, and told her that's the ring she wanted.
Roxanne: OK, so follow me to the back room, and we'll pierce it in.
Emma was so nervous, but she knew she was doing what she wanted. She wanted to look hot and this was her chance.
Roxanne: OK, so lay down on this bed, and I'm going to put a little bit of this cooling gel on your belly button to ease the pain.
Emma lay down and grabbed Manny's hand. She had to admit, she was scared. I mean, just two hours ago she was crying over Sean, now she was getting her belly button pierced under a fake ID without her parents permission. She felt kind of guilty, but pushed that out of her mind. Roxanne pulled her shirt up a little to reveal her belly button. She then put the gel on with a cotton swab. Here came the scary part. Emma closed her eyes and felt a very intense pain, but just squealed a little. It was over.
Roxanne: OK, that's it! Here's some information packets on preventing an infection, and a number to call in case anything gets irritated. Also, put this cooling medicine around the piercing everyday to ease the pain quicker. You shouldn't take that ring out for up to a month, or you'll definitely get an infection.
They paid the $40, then headed out the door.
Emma: I cant believe I just did that. I cant believe you had a fake ID! Should I get one too so we can both go into clubs?
Manny: Definitely, that would be so awesome. Were going to be the hottest chicks in Grade 9.
They both headed home. Manny went home and said "Call me later", and then Emma went home with her shopping bags and pierced belly button. Too bad Spike and Snake were already there. Emma cursed under her breath. She was hoping she would get home before them. She'd have to sneak through her back window. She crawled in to find both her parents in her room. Waiting for her. Uh-oh...
Spike: Young lady, where have you been? School called and was looking for you.
Emma: I....I...was having a horrible day, and I didn't feel so good so I decided to go shopping.....I'm sorry, Mom, Snake. She smiled innocently, hoping they'd let her off the hook. It will never happen again.
Spike: Fine. You'll never do it again. You're grounded. For a month.
Emma groaned. She was too mad to try to get out of it. They left her room, and she glanced at her belly button. It was looking good. She wanted to try on some of her new clothes to see how she would look. She pulled on a blue halter top, a black miniskirt, some fishnet hose and her knee high boots. Wow. Emma looked HOT. If she always dressed like this, she'd have any guy she wanted. She grinned. Tomorrow was going to be so awesome.
