Place: Joplin, Missouri
"I'm hungry," Whined Carmen McMurray.
Her and her friend Alicia were shopping in the nearest mall near their houses for like a good straight 2 hours before the munchies came to Carmen.
"Same here, where do you wanna go?" Alicia asked.
"Anywhere at this point," Carmen said.
"Well…" Alicia said as they looked at the food court that was near them and a smile came to her face. "Wanna go to McDonalds?" She offered.
Carmen's eyes lit up and said, "Sure—I'm in a mood for a McFlurry," She said as the two girls walked up to the counter of McDonalds. "Hi, what do you want to order?" The girl—who looked like she was in her late teens said as soon as Carmen and Alicia walked up to the counter.
"One Large Oreo McFlurry and…" Carmen trailed off and looked at Alicia, who replied with, "one small Smarties McFlurry please?"
"Sure," The woman said as she inputted the order and the two girls gave the money. When they got the ice cream, they proceeded to sit at a nearby table. Alicia was about to dig her spoon into the food when she looked up and saw someone that she knows a little well. "Um, Carmen?" Alicia asked.
"Yeah?" Carmen asked.
"Look at that dude over there," Alicia said pointing to the guy. Carmen turned her head and saw that he had short dirty blonde hair spiked up a little bit and was wearing a simple white t-shirt, blue fading jeans and sneakers.
"Yeah what about him?" Carmen asked as she turned her head back to her friend.
"Doesn't he look like Jamie?" Alicia asked.
Carmen turned her head back to the guy then back to Alicia before saying, "Nah, you must be imagining things girl—he told me he's in Tennessee or something, and if it was him, I would just notice him automatically," Carmen said.
Alicia just shrugged her shoulders before eating her ice cream. When the two were done, they exited the food court and Carmen asked, "Where next?"
"Hot Topic, I heard that they have this amazingly cute shorts and I need some new pairs of shorts," Alicia said.
Carmen just laughed before saying, "Alright," and they were walking to Hot Topic, when Carmen turned her head to see that guy that Alicia pointed out. "Maybe he does look like Jamie just a bit," Carmen muttered.
"What'd ya say girl?" Alicia asked.
"Oh nothing," Carmen said.
"You sure?" Alicia asked.
"Yes I'm sure what I actually say and don't say," Carmen said as they walked to the store.
.x.
"How about these?" Alicia asked as she came out of the dressing room wearing a pair of Blue Destroyed Plaid Pocket Shorts.
"Those are freaking cute," Carmen said.
"I know, right?" Alicia asked. "but I can't decide over these, the Almost Famous Blue White Polka Dot Short Shorts, the Blue Cut Off Distressed Pyramid Stud Shorts or the Bleach Wash Pocket Short-Shorts," She added with sadness in her tone of voice.
"How about this—you buy all of them, and you give two you absolutely hate for some reason to a certain best friend," Carmen said.
"Yeah, I'll give them to Patricia, she needs shorts," Alicia said, which made Carmen give her a you gotta be kidding look on her face. "I'm kidding McFlurry, I'll give two of them to you," Alicia said instantly.
"What's up with everyone calling me McFlurry?" Carmen asked.
"It rhymes with your actual name," Alicia said. "and blame Jamie for that when he was here for the Christmas holidays," She added.
Note to Self: Kill Jamie next time I see him Carmen thought in her head. When Alicia got the shorts and her and Carmen walked out of the store, Alicia saw the guy that she originally saw in the food court for the second time. "Dude—theirs that Jamie look a like again," Alicia said.
"What is he a stalker?" Carmen asked.
"I don't know—but I swear to God that is Jamie because no guy can have dirty blonde hair like that and still be freaking cute," Alicia said.
"Did you call my brother cute?" Carmen asked.
"Yeah,"
Smack
"Ow," Alicia said as she was rubbing her arm. "You bitch,"
"Proud of it," Carmen said as she got a text from Patricia.
To: C. McFlurry
From: Patricia
DUDE ! WHERE THE FUCK R U !
NEED UR HELP IN U.P !
"Need to be some place?" Carmen asked.
"Probably—"
"Good, meet me at Urban Planet," Carmen said as she ran to the store.
"I don't even wanna know," Alicia muttered before turning her head to the guy again and said to herself, "I'm going to find the answer to this mystery that's been created in my head," Before walking up to the guy and tapping him on the shoulder.
When his attention was turned to the girl, Alicia asked, "Hi, so sorry for bothering you but I just have to ask this but—are you NASCAR driver Jamie McMurray by any chance because you look just like him it's not even funny?"
The guy laughed lightly at her question. "So I'm guessing that's a no then?" Alicia asked.
"Alicia, you should know me by now," The guy said.
"You are," Alicia said. "but aren't you supposed to be in Bristol?"
"Got that by-weekend, remember?" Jamie asked as him and Alicia were walking down the hallway they were in.
"Oh yeah—I always forget about those," She said.
"So where's Carmen?" Jamie asked. "Aren't you guys like glued to the hip or something?" He asked.
Alicia laughed before saying, "She's at Urban Planet,"
"Getting new shoes?" Jamie guessed.
"Probably—and let's try to find her," Alicia said as her and Jamie were walking to Urban Planet.
.x.
"Come on Pattie, these look cute on you," Carmen said.
What she was referring to was the Invader Zim Gir and Cupcakes Flip Flops that Patricia was currently wearing—and Patricia wasn't liking it.
"Let's try for the heels category, shall we?" Patricia asked.
"Alright fine," Carmen said as she grabbed the flip flops and went to put them back and was now looking for a pair of heels, when she was met with Alicia and the Jamie-look a like. "Man, he's like a stalker or something," Carmen commented.
"Nice compliment sis," Jamie said with a sad tone in his voice.
"Jamie!" Carmen said happily as she hugged her brother.
"I swear if you two weren't related—you two would be such a very cute couple," Alicia commented, which made Carmen kick Alicia in the shin. "Ow—violent much?" Alicia asked as she went to her shin.
Carmen let go of her brother, which then she asked, "Aren't you supposed to be not here?" She asked.
"Remember—I got that by-weekend," Jamie said.
"Yay," Carmen said happily, then when she saw Alicia gave her a WTF look then she said, "What?"
"Nothing—it's just that it's nice for two siblings to actually get along with one another and actually happy to see one another," Alicia commented.
