Chapter 15
"Back to School Shopping"
~Summer's P.O.V.~
When I woke up it was daylight and I heard some male voices. It's like I could hear what they were saying but as if from a great distance. I couldn't remember where I was or who I was laying next to, until I turned my head towards him. It was Pony. He was still sleeping. I remembered I was at the Curtis' because Pony had asked me to stay after the soc... Poor kid, I thought. He had such a rough night yesterday, we both did. I slowly got up from the couch, careful not to wake Pony. He needed major sleep. I yawned as I walked towards the kitchen. Darry and Soda were sitting at the kitchen table having breakfast and talking about something. I was too clueless to understand what it was that they were talking about.
"Hey, Summer. Good Morning." Soda said warmly, as I approached them.
"Hey" I smiled at both of them.
"Did you guys sleep well?" Darry asked.
I suddenly realized that we were both asleep on the couch, together. What would Darry think? I was so tired. I decided to get out of there as soon as I can, before he had a chance to question me. I didn't want to leave Pony alone to face Darry about our position last night, but I really didn't wanna be there if he wanted to talk about it or something..
"Um, I better go. I promised Rain I would get home ASAP in the morning."
"You're not even staying for breakfast? We got chocolate cake." Soda held the chocolate cake up to my face.
"No, I really have to go, but hey thanks for letting me stay the night and everything.." I said hoping Darry wouldn't open the subject. I knew he was over protective, not that I was the wild kind or anything. But he barely knew me; I would expect him to expect anything of me.
"Alright, I'll tell Pony you said bye when he wakes up" Soda said.
"Alright, thanks Soda, you too Darry. Bye" I said as I headed out the door.
I stopped when I almost reached for the door knob. I walked over to the couch and gave Pony a kiss on the forehead. I decided to make it my usual thing. To kiss Pony on the forehead before we separate. I walked out the door and towards my house. I reached for the door. It was locked. Damn! That's right! We lock our door, unlike the Curtis'. They don't bother to, but Rain is afraid of burglars and now those damn socs and we don't have a muscular guy like Darry to fight them off. They do live next door, but burglars can show up anytime.
I lifted up the mat in front of our door that said "Welcome" and took the key underneath. I unlocked the door, and put the key back under the mat. I opened the door.
"Hey, why didn't you knock?" Rain asked. She and Jake were sitting at the kitchen table, eating breakfast.
"Um, I thought you might be asleep or something"
"You hungry? I made eggs, there's some extra in the kitchen" Rain offered.
"No, I think I'm gonna take a shower first."
I needed to shower badly. I felt so lousy.
I walked towards my room to get some new clothes to change into. I got out a pair of shorts. It was a hot day for late August. I also got out a pink short sleeved plain shirt and clean socks. I went in to the bathroom and took a nice long shower. It felt good to take a cool shower when it was so hot. I got out of the shower and got dressed.
I walked into the kitchen, got the eggs from the counter, sat down at the table, and dug in.
"Whoa, hungry?" Rain asked looking up from the newspaper.
"Hmm, yeah" I mumbled in between bites of eggs.
I finished eating my eggs, and decided to watch tv. I was sitting on the couch, just staring blankly at the tv when Rain asked me if I wanted to go back to school shopping today. I jumped up from the couch.
"Really? I'd love to. I need some new clothes anyway. I'll go get my bag." I ran towards my room.
In like half a minute I was back in the living room, jumping up and down.
"Come on let's go!!!" I screamed. "We gotta get there early!"
"Ok, ok, hang on, I'll go get Jake."
I smiled. Shopping! Oh, boy do I love shopping!
Rain was back in like 3 minutes and we were off to the mall. I was suddenly perked up. I love to shop. The nearest mall was half an hour away, and I couldn't wait to get there. We finally arrived. I first got in to my favorite store, Bloomingdales. I stormed through clothes, searching for the perfect outfit. I got a bunch of stuff on my arms and headed towards the dressing rooms. Rain was already there with Jake arguing about some clothes that she wanted Jake try on which he didn't like to do. I got into a room, and tried stuff on. I got rid of half of the stuff I had grabbed. Some were small, some were too big, not to mention too expensive. I went to the check out place and got in line. I took out the money Rain had given me. She told me to spend it responsively. I think I was responsible enough. I had a pink sweater with flowers, two tank tops that were on sale. 2 pairs of jeans, a blue blouse that Rain kinda thought was too grown up for me, but I didn't think so. I really like the pair of black jeans I picked, for picture days and stuff, and a black long sleeved, glittery top to go with it. I also picked out a black mini skirt, but didn't show that to Rain. It's not like I didn't have any mini skirts but Rain wouldn't probably let me get this one. It was kinda shorter than my other skirts and it was kinda expensive. I left one of the blue/green sweaters that Rain told me to buy to buy the mini skirt. I left the green one; I mean it was kinda ugly anyway. I liked the blue one though.
It was finally my turn. I laid down all the clothes on the counter and gave the money to the clerk. I had so many bags; I thought I would fall down from the heaviness. I walked towards Rain and Jake who were waiting for me at the entrance.
"Summer Theriault, I told you to spend your money responsibly." Rain barked.
"But Rain, I did. I bought a lot of stuff with the money that you gave me."
Rain sighed.
"Summer, you were supposed to use some of that money to buy a new pair of boots and a new fall jacket. But you spent it all on clothes.." she sighed again.
I put an ashamed look on, so she would forgive me, and wouldn't make me give some of the stuff back.
"Oh, it's fine. These clothes will have to last you for a while though."
I looked sad now. And this time I didn't have to try.
"Let's go" Rain said, putting an arm around me. This time I sighed as we walked into, OH MY GOD!!!! The most expensive shoe store ever! I got a new pair of leather boots. They were 4 inches high, with zippers on the side. They came up to around my knee. Rain got herself new work shoes. She said she didn't get the job at the diner, even better she got a job at the mall. She would work at Bloomingdales and that meant I, I mean she, would get a lot of discounts. I was happy..for her.. We walked out of the store and headed towards payless. We got new winter shoes for Jake. There was the most awesome jacket store right next to payless so I went in there while Rain paid for Jake's shoes. I found the coolest jacket. I felt like I just had to have it. I was about to go back to payless and beg Rain for it when I heard her voice behind me.
"Like it?" Rain asked.
"Hell, yeah! Oops. Sorry, no swearing in front of Jake, I know." I said as Rain gave me look.
"Hmmm it's kinda expensive."
"But it would keep me warm..and it's so pretty" I pleaded.
"Ok" Rain gave in.
I basically skipped to the check out. We paid for the jacket and left the mall. I had just gotten done with fall shopping in 3 hrs!!! I never shop that fast!
When we got home it was around 5. I went into my room to look over the clothes I had bought and to rip the tags off and put them in my closet and stuff. I quickly hid the mini skirt in my dresser. I put on the black pants, black shirt and my new black boots and went into the living room.
"And now, supermodel Summer Theriault, modeling the seasons new.." I stopped when I noticed Darry at the door. I blushed.
Rain laughed. "We went shopping today, as you can see" she explained Darry.
He laughed and they went back to talking about something. I interrupted.
"Hey Darry, how's Pony?" I asked worriedly.
"He's fine Summer. He calls your name a lot" he said as I blushed.
Rain laughed.
"Say hi for me, will ya?"
"Sure" Darry said.
I went back to my room. I can't believe I just did that. I shrugged that thought away. I decided to think about something else, instead of how big of an idiot I acted like. I decided to think about school. Starting school in less than 2 weeks. Starting school with Pony. Hmmm...that should be nice. My thoughts drifted away as I stared at the picture me and Pony that we took couple days ago, it was a picture of me and him at the dingo, when we went to grab some lunch, sometime. He just looked so handsome and sweet. I could stare at it forever..
