Chapter 3

Virginia's POV

I was walking down the street to the mall with my friends Abigail Lincoln and Kuki Sanban. I told them about the events of the day.

"Dang." Said Kuki. "But he'll have to forgive you eventually."

"Yeah, I mean this is Bartie we're talking about." I said positively. "He can't stay mad at something for long."

Abby put her hand on my shoulder. "That's the spirit." She said. I grinned back at her.

Once we entered the double doors of the mall we ordered smoothies and took a walk around. What did you think a couple of teenagers do at the mall? Shop? Yeah if we had the money.

"Oh wow look at that necklace." Kuki exclaimed, pressing the tip of her finger against a glass window. Abby and I looked through it too. I stared at the star-shaped pendent hanging from the silver chain and subconsciously I put my hand down my jumper and held my own chain. I pulled it out and examined the ring hanging from it. This one was a gift from Bartie on my 13th birthday. He said as long as I had it I'd always remember him, until Rachel brought us both into the TND but it was still important to me.

"What are you doing?"

I snapped out of my daydream and looked back up at Kuki and Abby. "Sorry." I mumbled and took a sip of my watermelon smoothie.

"That's pretty." Said Kuki, holding the necklace around my neck delicately. "Where'd you get it."

"It was a gift." I replied.

"From who?" Abby asked, smirking.

"From someone."

I put the straw in my mouth and started drinking indicating that I didn't want to talk about it anymore. I never really told people who my necklace was from in case they get the wrong idea of me and Bartie being an item. Hello, embarrassing?

Abby, Kuki and I continued to look around the shops. "Maybe if I bought Bartie a gift do you think he'll forgive me?" I asked holding a bikers helmet in a bike store.

"Yeah if ya had the money, girl." Abby replied.

I sighed and put down the helmet and we made our way out of the mall. "You know…" Kuki started as we walked down the street. "There's a carnival coming next weekend. You can take Bartie."

My eyes lit up. "Yeah! That's a great idea!" I exclaimed. Then I heard sniggers. I turned around to see Abby whispering into Kuki's ear, while she's trying hard not to have a giggle attack. "Ahem." I coughed. "Anything you'd like to share?"

"No." They both said together.

"You sure?"

"Yep."

I raised an eyebrow and turned back around. But it was a perfect idea, to take Bartie to the carnival next weekend. Oh how I can't wait!
