They drove to the local mall, Laurel mall. It wasn't huge and didn't have much, mostly help wanted signs, there was a Burlington Coat Factory, a Hecht's, a leather store, a hot topic, DEB, a school uniform store, Claire's, a framing store, a furniture store, a couple dollar stores, Payless, a game arcade, and some other stores nobody really ever went in. They split up, and went their own ways, or course Tassi, Dallie and Ora stayed together for the most part. New jeans was a must, and started with Hecht's, a familiar store, not knowing really what was there. Juniors was across from perfume, right as you walk in. They walked through racks and racks of clothing, throwing things they thought each other would like at each other. Just as long as they didn't make a huge mess everywhere, the workers didn't really care. Once they picked some clothes to try on, they modeled them for each other, tops, jeans, belts, jackets, etc. They were like the only people in there, and had a great time, got like a whole new school wardrobe.
"Shoes!" Ora said leaving, "we need shoes," she said walking and spotted Claire's right next to Hecht's. "Shoes can wait, need accessories." She was drawn inside. Earrings, necklaces, bracelets, nose rings, hair accessories. Ora had her ears pierced twice and her nose pierced, Dallie had her ears pierced twice, and so did Tassi, but they thought nose rings were preppy. They looked around at the earrings, then Tassi and Dallie spotted the hair dyes.
"What color this year, Tassi?" Dallie asked her. Tassi looked at the colors or the permanent dyes. She finally picked one up, a deep maroon.
"This one, " she said, holding out the bottle, "will be my color of the year. It's perfect, and with my new wardrobe, it will look splendid."
"Perfect," Dallie said picking up a bottle of blonde, "this is definitely Ora, HEY ORA!" she shouted, and Ora turned her head and came over. "Ora, you'd totally make a great blonde, dad would love it, mom would love it, think of it, a blonde cheerleader, everybody loves them better, and hey, if you do it, I'll stay a cheerleader."
Ora grabbed the bottle from her hand and read it, "You're on, I'll get it, and tonight, we have a dying party, but in addition, you at least need blonde highlights, or no deal," Ora said, picking up a box of highlighting set. A light brown color for Dallie, then another for herself, since they both had dark brown hair, having dark highlights in the blonde would look nice, and light highlights in Dallie's hair would look nice.
"Fine, deal, Tassi, want highlights too?" Dallie said looking at the boxes and spotted a lime green one and picked it up, "this would look great with your maroon, and maybe a little black, and our extras, it'll look awesome." Tassi looked at the boxes and chose some.
"Hey this'll be so much fun, especially since this school has rules about hair dyeing, you cant do it, it distracts from 'the learning environment'. Haven't you wondered why the stupid school ain't got no windows?" Tassi said loving it, new rules she could add to her list, shed broken them all at her old schools, now a new place, with different rules, more to break, and more for them to add. She always started small breaking rules with a new year, some insubordination, some persistent disobedience, nothing really major, got written up, between her and the teacher, her, the teacher and her parents, then all the way to the administrators, nothing big. Brooke and Lucas were used to that, besides if she got expelled from the middle school, they'd just send her to the private school, no biggie. Sure it would cost more, but they had the money.
They then returned to earrings. Ora picked out a couple cute pairs of small dainty earrings, and a few dangly ones. Tassi and Ora were competing on who could wear the largest hoops and get the biggest, thickest pairs, that stretched their holes bigger. Compared to the school, they were beginners, others could shove quarters, half-dollar coins and even some larger things into the holes of their ears, nobody really wore earrings, except hoops, everyone else wore objects, like paper clips and safety pins. That was Laurel. They moved onto necklaces. Ora favored the loose shiny ones with small charms, while Dallie and Tassi favored thick chokers, with spikes or something rough. Ora loved matching jewelry, well all jewelry really. She had mounds of rings, separated, some boys had given her, well quite a few, some her friends got her, some family, but she loved rings. The only rings Dallie and Tassi liked were think silver bands that would fit around their slim thumbs, or else the same bands for all of their fingers with chains connecting them to a matching wristband or bracelet, and they absolutely loved black jelly bracelets. They were key. They'd wear like fifty of them up each arm. Another thing needed was small rubber bands for hair. They usually had wacky dos and needed small rubber bands and bobby pins. Funky hair accessories were also nice. Ora favored a more traditional look, yet when you looked at both of them decked out, they looked very similar, it was insanely weird.
Once they were done in Claire's they continued the walk along the top floor and reached DEB. It was a store that sold only teen clothing, though many hip adults went in there. They immediately split up because of the different styles, skirts, jeans, funky socks, jackets, hoodies, t-shirts, sweats, you name it. Ora found jeans, lots of them, it wasn't hard, she wore a size zero. Shorts, minis, long, long skirts, knee lengths, stone washed, boot cut, regular, slim, stretch, capris, and even more. Of course, she had to get a ton of jeans, tough she had a ton, she needed more, her preferred choice of bottoms, though for that time of the month, she favored gray sweats, in the winter, and booty shorts in the summer. She also loved jackets. She had a closet full. She loved pinks, grays, and blues. She loved DEB. It became one of her new favorite stores.
Tassi and Dallie were looking at screen tees. "Look," Tassi said holding up a black shirt. It was plain black with glitter, lots of glitter, yet you couldn't really see it.
They were soon finished in DEB, and Tassi did get that shirt, along with a ton of other clothes, not to mention what Ora got, then Dallie, and they headed for their last stop, shoe store. The only really good shoe store in the mall would be payless, and it was a small one, and they did a good job of emptying it of their size, but then they had to meet Brooke again.
As they were waling out, they ran into Ricky.
"Hey lil bro," Tassi said putting her arm around his neck as to strangle him, "have fun?"
"Oh yeah!" He said, not sarcastically, "they have a really cool video arcade, with a ton of new games and a ton of classics, can y'all girls go shopping here everyday?" he asked, hopefully.
"You tell dad that," Dallie said, laughing, imagining her father's face when his only son asks to go shopping at the mall everyday.
"Stop blabbering, my cell's ringing," Ora said answering. "Hello?"
"Ora, hey its mom, meet me in the parking lot outside of the coat factory, I thing Buntington or something," Brooke said.
Ora looked behind her, "Burlington mom? We're right by there, okay, see you, we got Ricky with us, he wants to go to the mall everyday," Ora said laughing and hanging up and they left the mall.
