Julie had been having an absolute blast with Connie. It was so great of
Bombay arranging this for them, she was really going to miss these maniacs.
"Hey," Connie said entering the room the two were sharing. "The boys called, there heading to the mall. Wanna go?" She asked flopping down next to me on the bed.
"Yeah," I said smiling, at first I'd enjoyed the silence of the boys being gone but it was getting annoying, there was no one to pick on. Connie finished up her phone conversation with whoever was on the phone agreeing to meet them there in thirty minutes.
We got to the mall ten minutes early, I know you may find this shocking but girls can run on time. I was hungry being that it was eleven and hadn't eaten a thing so we headed over to pretzel time.
I was ordering my regular when I saw him and yes by him I mean Adam. He had a girl on his right arm, how to explain this girl. Let's see she was pretty but not like stunning or anything she was about as tall as Adam with golden blonde hair that reached just past the shoulders she was a little what my Mom calls "chunky" but by no means fat. Probably the most attractive thing about her was her big smile and how she walked with such confidence.
"Connie, is that his girlfriend?" I asked my voice quiet. She looked over and shrugged.
"I really don't know," That was when Adam waved over at us an adorable smile on his face. Connie and I waved back and that is when he stared over to us.
"Hey," he said flashing all of his pearly whites. I couldn't help it I giggled, stupid stupid stupid Julia Catherine Gaffney get a grip its just Adam I screamed at myself.
That was when chicky-poo came over, "Hey you must be Julie and Connie." She said shaking each of our hands "I'm Alexis." She said like that should explain absolutely everything. I looked over at Adam and our eyes meet he smiled sheepishly.
"Ah Alexis is my sister," He said starring at the floor.
"Oh," I said smiling at her, "It's great to meet ya!" I said suddenly a lot more energetically and Connie rolled her eyes at me. Thankfully before I had the chance to make a complete fool of myself the rest of the group joined us.
We tried sticking together but we quickly broke into smaller groups and somehow it ended up me Connie and Alexis looking around in the Rave. Not exactly my style, but Connie was on a mission for the perfect pair of pants and this place was defiantly her.
"That was real smooth earlier," Connie said teasing me while browsing through the rack.
"Shut up," I said blushing. Alexis looked at us both thoughtfully but went back to her browsing.
"How about these," She said pulling out a cute pair of pants.
"Oh my gosh, there perfect" Connie squealed, see there is the difference between me and Connie, on occasion she got all giggly and girly, me never did. She ended up buying the pants and we got out of there, which I was quite thankful for.
"So Julie, you like Adam right," Alexis said falling in step right next to me.
"Yes," Connie said stopping, "Why?"
"Because I happen to know that he like her," The two of them squealed together.
"I knew it! They were so sending vibes you should see them together." Connie said, she'd been trying to convince me to make a move but I don't know, I suck with boys. Well not with boys, I'm great at hanging out with them; my team back in Maine was all guys. Guys just have a tendency to see me as one of the guys, not as the girl they like and talk about in the locker room.
"We have to set them up, I don't know about Julie but Adam will never make a move on his own,"
"Neither will she's there so stubborn," I hit her again.
"Stay out of it." I said picking up the pace, I left them giggling behind me. It's official I hate Connie, well at least for a couple of minutes. I was contemplating the best way to kill her in her sleep and make it look like an accident when Adam came up to me.
"Hey," he said matching my pace I slowed down a little.
"Hey,"
"Where are the girls?"
"Oh, I ditched them it was getting a little too perky for my taste,"
Adam smiled and nodded, "Yeah, Alexis has a tendency to do that. It's weird because when it's just me and her it's not like that at all. You would like her."
"I do," I said stopping in front of Barnes and Nobles (book store). We headed in and he headed straight to the Robert Jordan display.
"You like Robert Jordan?" I asked picking up the new book.
"Yeah," He smiled sheepishly, "Do you?"
"Duh, it's only the best series ever."
"Have you read the new one?" He asked circling the table.
"No, I haven't gotten around to buying it." He nodded. We both broke off occasionally finding each other to show off a book. We had so much in common, it made hanging out with him a blast. He was just so easy to talk to. I loved bookstores; I'd always been a big reader. We probably remained lost in the bookstore together for another hour.
"We should probably go find the others," He said finding me he had already checked out.
"Yeah," I agreed following, he opened the door for me and I couldn't help it I giggled. Oh God I'm turning into an airhead. But once he flashed that smile I felt my heart melt all over again.
"I, ah I got this for you," He said handing over the bag. I peered in to see one new copy of the fourth book in the Robert Jordan series. "Oh my God, Adam. Thank you, you didn't have too."
"I wanted too, besides much longer with out it and you would have been deprived child." I pulled him into a hug; I'd never gotten a present from a guy before well outside of my brothers. I pulled away to see the rest of the guys hanging out Connie was starring at us her eyes nearly popping out of her head. I smiled thanking him once more before heading over to her.
"What was that?" Connie asked.
"What was what?" Guy asked looking at us both.
"Julie hugged Adam," Connie squealed.
"Wait you like Adam," I nodded at Guy, "Since when?" He asked confused.
"Are you blind." Connie nearly yelled at him, "They've been flirting like crazy," She said throwing her hands up.
"I just can't concentrate on anything when you're around," He said giving her the puppy dog eyes, Ahh, how sweet. She smiled and gave him a kiss before turning her attention back over to me.
"Man you are so whipped," Russ said butting into the conversation.
"Yeah, I may be whipped." Guy shrugged, "But I'm whipped and happy. You aint whipped but you don't got no girlfriend."
Russ paused for a second. I think it may have been the first time in Russ life he didn't have a come back, "True," He said leaving shoving his hands in his pockets and walking off.
"Sorry," Guy apologized, "So what happened?"
"Nothing, he just bought me a book I been wanting." I said pulling it out.
"Damn that's thick," Guy said taking it from me, "You read to much. This would take me six years to finish,"
"But it's still sweet," Connie said looking at Guy, "How come you don't buy me stuff."
"Uhh, I think Charlie calling for me or something,"
"That's right you better run," Connie yelled after him as he ran off.
"Hey," Connie said entering the room the two were sharing. "The boys called, there heading to the mall. Wanna go?" She asked flopping down next to me on the bed.
