Chapter 3 - Wal-mart, Hot Topic, and Oliver by Princess Katie
"Everyone pile into the van," Sam ordered. Harry and Ron sat in back, and she and Oliver conveniently sat next to each other in the middle seat.
"So, Rexy, are we meeting your friend?" Oliver asked.
"Yeah, we're meeting Katie at Wal-mart," Rexy said with a smile. Oliver smiled back, and they stared at each other for a moment, breaking eye contact when Harry made a stupid comment.
"Wal-mart?"
Rexy rolled her eyes. "Corporate giant taking over the country. They have just about everything."
"Oh."
They chatted about various things until they got to Wal-mart, where Katie, Hermione, Ginny, and Katie's mom were already waiting. Rexy skipped over to Katie.
"Hey!"
"Hey yourself! Let's get started with this torture." They entered Wal-mart, and the two moms left to get away from the noisy teenagers.
"Alright," said Katie, "School supplies thataway!"
One hour later, they had finished buying seven sets of school supplies, not to mention Katie's brother's stuff. When they approached the cash register, the cashier looked ready to faint. She rang up their purchases, muttering the whole time.
"Glad that ordeal's over," Rexy said. "Now we get to the fun stuff!"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Ron asked.
"Let me guess," Oliver said, "we're going to the mall."
Katie laughed. "Yeah, how'd ya guess?"
"I have a younger sister," he said in an exasperated tone.
Everyone laughed and proceeded to the cars.
At the mall
"Ooo, look at this!" Rexy said excitedly, pointing to an Invader Zim shirt.
"Cool," Katie replied. "I'm thinking of finally getting one of those black lace corset things."
"You really should, you've wanted one for ages," Rexy replied. They were in Hot Topic, browsing the merchandise. Oliver and Ginny were the only two others actually looking around. Hermione was freaking out, and Ron and Harry stood nervously by the doorway.
Katie sighed. "I think our friends are a little nervous."
"Yeah, I guess they're sheltered types," Rexy said with a little laugh.
"Not your darling Oliver," Katie commented with a smirk, and to her surprise, Rexy turned red.
"A new obsession, huh?" Katie remarked again.
Rexy rolled her eyes. "It's me, what do you expect?"
They laughed and continued shopping. Three hours later - okay, just kidding, one hour - they were at the checkout.
"Hey Rexy, what's up?" the cashier, who's name was Tony, asked.
"She shops here so much the workers know her?" Ginny asked Katie.
"Yeah," Katie smiled as Rexy paid for her purchases - an Invader Zim lunchbox and a black skirt with lace on the front and sides and a train.
Katie paid for her corset and necklace, Oliver his chain wallet, and Ginny her faerie-printed shirt, and then they left.
They explored the rest of the mall peacefully until Rexy shrieked, hiding behind a fake tree.
"Rexy, what is it?" Oliver asked with concern (A/N: and his adorable smile *sigh*).
"Oh God, Katie, it's him!" Katie turned in the direction Rexy was staring and saw none other than Gorilla Boy.
"Oh God."
"Who is it?" Ron asked.
"Rexy's ex," Katie said quietly. "He never quiet got over the fact that she dumped him. We call him Gorilla Boy."
"Oh," the exchange students said simultaneously.
Gorilla Boy approached them. "Hey Rexy."
"What do you want?" Rexy replied brusquely.
Gorilla Boy, however, didn't get the hint.
"Rexy, don't be like this."
"Like what?"
Gorilla Boy eyed the guys surrounding them. "So you move on quickly, huh, you slut? Why? I could've given you everything you needed."
"F*** off!" Rexy cried angrily, slapping him.
He grabbed her arm tightly. "Shut up, bitch," he hissed. He went flying through the air, astonishing everyone. They all looked and saw Oliver shaking his fist, and a huge red mark forming on Gorilla Boy's face.
"Leave her alone, God dammit!" Oliver shouted. Gorilla Boy got up and walked - okay, ran - away. Everyone stared at Oliver with astonishment and admiration - especially Rexy.
"Oh my God, Oliver, thank you!" Rexy cried, hugging him.
"It was nothing," he said somewhat sheepishly. They held on to each other until they became aware everyone was staring. (A/N: Rexy is sitting here hyperventilating as I write this, lol.) They separated quickly as Katie laughed hysterically.
"It's time to go meet my mom and Rexy's mom," Katie said, still laughing.
