Chapter Two:
"Hi I'm Cindy, welcome to Hollister! Is there anything I can help you with?" The store employee said with extreme enthusiasm
"Hey, I'm Faye. I'm trying to get outfits for these three." Faye pointed at Jeffrey, Mason, and Reid who were stuffing their faces with the free samples from the kiosk outside the store. Reid wiped her mouth and walked toward Faye and the employee.
"I'd love to help," Cindy said with a smile as she pointed to Reid, "I think she looks like a size medium."
Fifteen minutes later, Jeffrey walked out of the changing room wearing a gray beanie, a pair of skinny jeans and a tight-fitting Arctic Monkeys tee shirt.
"I think the shirt is a little too tight," Jeffrey began but was quickly interrupted by Reid.
"The whole point is to see your muscles, I think it looks great. what do you think Mason?" Mason
snapped back into reality and glanced at Jeffrey. Reid was right, Jeffrey did look great. Faye did a fantastic job picking out the clothes, you have to love that girl.
"Umm...yeah he looks fine'" Mason said as he tightened his grip on the handle of the shopping bag. Little time had gone by yet they already bought half the store. Faye clapped and pushed Jeffrey back into the fitting room so that Reid could try on her new clothes. In a flash, Jeffrey came out of the closet like room.
"I'm getting pretty hungry guys, wanna grab something to eat?" Reid asked hopefully. Mason chuckled, instantly figuring out Reid's plan.
"C'mon Reid, you have to try on the clothes just like the rest of us. Plus, you ate in the car someone as tiny as you can't be hungry so soon." Mason said with a cheeky grin.
"Five foot seven is not tiny, not everyone is 6' 4" like you." Reid replied as she tucked back a wavy blond strand of hair behind her ear.
"Just try on the clothes, and once we are done shopping I'll pay for milk tea," Faye replied. Reid hopped down from the rail that she was sitting on and grabbed the clothes from Faye. She eyed them curiously as she walked into the fitting room. Five minutes later, she walked out in black high-waisted shorts paired with an army green crop top.
"I like it!" she exclaimed.
After countless hours of shopping the bunch went to go grab some milk tea at their favorite tea place, Necessitea.
"Are you guys excited to go to Westmont?" Jeffrey asked.
"Yeah, sure. Just not excited to be stuck in a car for two hours with you three," Mason said.
Reid stuck her tongue out playfully and said, "The feeling's mutual."
"Well I mean at least we don't have to ride with our parents. Imagine how awkward THAT would be," Faye added.
Mason looked down solemnly. Jeffrey took notice and placed his hand on top of Mason's hand under the table. Mason looked up and gave a half-hearted smile at the other boy.
