Chapter Three
After an hour drive from where Hermione's house was to the downtown district, the girls finally arrived at the parking entrance to Weston's Department Store. Therefore, after several minutes of finding a parking space (which is sometimes near to impossible at times, especially during the holidays) Asia parked the car and the girls all got out. As they headed for the main entrance to the store, Asia stopped halfway. Both Hermione and Trini noticed this and stopped to look at her, for they were wondering why she would've stopped suddenly. Next thing they both knew they heard a screech coming from Asia,
"I completely forgot about something important,"
At this, the two girls just stared at Asia curiously. Therefore, Hermione felt obliged to ask what so important that she would act this way.
"What's wrong, Asia? What happened?" Hermione asked curiously. Asia just looked at Hermione with a look of complete apprehension and said in response,
"I totally forgot that Mitch is arriving today, from Hong Kong."
Once more, the two girls just stared at Asia, but with a look of surprise, also. They both knew who Mitch was, he was Asia's older brother who'd been studying abroad in America and then went off to Hong Kong for a week before coming back to the U.K. to see his family.
"Bloody Hell, I can't believe I totally forgot that he was coming home today," ranted Asia. For it was obvious that she was still upset over that fact that she forgot her brother was coming home. Hermione on her part, put a hand on Asia's shoulder to comfort her and said,
"Listen Asia it isn't your fault that you forgot about your brother's arrival. Besides, why don't we keep our plans for the day, you know shop for a while, then we can go eat, and afterwards we can stop by your house to see your brother. I for one can't wait to see him again. Since I haven't seen him in ages, for the last time he was in London you wrote to me saying that he had come during Christmas holidays and I wasn't able to see him since I was staying at school at the time," she excitedly to her friend. Hermione then looked over to Trini who was grinning mischievously back at her. Hermione than continued by saying, "Besides, I know we'll have twice the fun now that he's back in town."
When Asia heard that last comment, she just nodded her head. Because Hermione was right about one thing, with Mitch back in town things wouldn't be so boring that's for sure. While lost in thought, Asia suddenly felt a tug from her left side. She looked to see who it was that was doing it and realized that Hermione had grabbed her hand and dragging her towards to the front of the shop. It would be obvious by this point, that patience wasn't one of Hermione's virtues when it came to shopping. As they went through the revolving doors, they entered the front of the store. The building itself was quite spacious and had three floors. The first floor had seasonal clothing; the latest fashions for everyone from different countries, a large shoe department, in the center of the store were several display cases with jewelry of almost every kind, and the cosmetic department was practically on the other side. The three girls just stared in total awe at everything in the grand store. They knew at that moment, that they were going to have a blast browsing and certainly buying things, as well. So far, the summer was going great and Hermione figured that nothing could ruin it. Alas, she didn't expect the surprise she would soon be getting.
A/N: The only characters I own so far are Trini and Asia. Not to mention, some others that will appear later. Finally update on this story. I've been having lots of writer's block and it sucks, all right. Okay, I know it's short (so sorry about it) but I'LL TRY to write more of it soon. Just that life is busy and I'm trying to finish up my spring semester without having a nervous breakdown. So, review and tell me what you think. Again, please note that I did mention it was short but I did apologize for it. So, until the next time.
