I stepped out of the car and yawned loudly, stretching out my back.

Noah spun the keys around his finger, and then put them in his pocket.

"Alright." He started. "How much money do we have altogether?"

I shrugged carelessly. "I have about six-hundred bucks. You?"

"Like two thousand. My family's rich."

"Holy shit. Are you gonna spend it all?" I asked.

"Of course not." He replied as though it were obvious.

I opened my phone. "Eleven-thirty." I read the time. "How 'bout we meet back at Orange Julius at exactly one-thirty?" I asked.

"Sounds good to me." He smiled. I was really surprised. This was the first friendly smile he ever gave me.

Unintentionally she smiled back warmly.

"But if someone loses track of time, or doesn't show, we have each other's cell phone numbers, right?" I said professionally.

He nodded quietly, pulling out his phone to make sure he had it.

We turned form the car, now that everything had been taken care of. I felt really weird, but not in a bad way, when we were walking to the front of the mall. Noah and I were actually having a civilized conversation, but we were walking so close together, our hands kept touching. At one point, I think I wanted to hold his hand. It was fucked up.

Noah held the door open for me, but I think he was just trying to annoy me.

"Well, we have two hours. Make the best of it." I warned. He nodded happily, then we went separate directions.

The first thing I did was get my ass over to Hot Topic. I bought like three bags of stuff; shirts, belts, arm warmers, pins, bags, belts, a skirt or two, nail polish, make-up, posters, and anything else you can think of. What sucked was that it cost me three hundred dollars.

Next, I went to Starbucks. I got like thirty dollars worth of coffee and treats. After that, I went to Zumiez, and got hoodies, shirt, pants, stuff like that. Then, I went to Journey's and bought some kick ass shoes, and of course, shirts, pants bags, and things of that nature. But the fun doesn't end there, as you can imagine, I went to Spencers. I bought the same things, plus some other accessories.

I got finished just in time too. At exactly one-thirty, I went to Orange Julius with my remaining forty-five dollars. Noah was there with bags from Gamestop, Radio Shack, and more.

"How much money did you spend?" I asked.

"Nine hundred bucks." He replied.

"Damn." I sighed. "I'm broke now."

He laughed at me, but I held my tongue. "Let's go back now," I said, taking a drink of my coffee.

"Kay." Noah said, unlocking the car.

Maybe he'll actually let me play my iPod this time.

When we got to his house, I got out of the car slowly. He opened the trunk, then told me he'd help me with my bags and get his later. I went to get a bag, then it happened.

I tried to pull the bag out, but it was caught on something. I pulled, then let go. I let go too soon, and I stumbled backwards. Noah caught me, and my face was dangerously close to his. From what he told me, I started to blush. Then, without thinking, I kissed him.
