Chapter 7: Riley knows more
In the morning we checked out and split. Riley went to the Franklin Institute, because he was the least dressed up and didn't need new clothes. I went to Charlotte Russe, my favorite store, while the others went into a place called Urban outfitters. At least Abigail didn't go into the old lady places that my mom's friends would always go to. Like Dress Barn, or Christopher Banks. Eww, those clothes were u-g-l-y, UGLY! I bought, something a bit less conspicuous. Brown shorts, a brown cami, sliver flip flops, and a white thin ruffled down the far left side shirt. I put my hair into a pony-tail, and suddenly looked like myself for what felt like days, but had only been a day, and a day about a week ago. When I got over to Urban Outfitters Riley was already there. I caught him mid-sentence, "-Now pass and stow of course referring to-"
"The Liberty Bell." I finished. "Why must you do that?" Riley asked. I shrugged, "I guess, it's just fun to frustrate you." I said. Which was totally true. He ignored me. "A timely shadow…" Ben muttered. "What?" I asked, hopelessly lost. "A time." He decided on. "A time…uh…what time?" Riley asked. "Wait. Do we have a hundred dollar bill?" I asked. He handed me one, frowning until he realized what I was doing. I grabbed a water bottle off the counter to use as a magnifying glass. "What do you see?" He asked. "2...2:22 P.M." I said. "What time is it now?" I asked. "Almost three." The cashier responded. "We missed it?" Abigail asked disappointed. I nodded. "No we didn't. We didn't because-" Riley abruptly stopped waiting for us to intervene. "Wait. I know something about history that you don't? Wow. Just let me take this in. Just embrace this moment. Is this how you feel all the time? Well, except for now of course-"
"Riley!" I said sharply. "Do you want me to roundhouse kick you?" I said. "Sorry, alright. What I know, is that daylight savings wasn't started until after world war I." He said. "Riley you're a genius." Ben said. "Let's go." I said. "Do you know who the first person to suggest-?"
"Benjamin Franklin!" I said. "How did you know I'd ask that?" Riley questioned. "Because my lefty powers!" I said, referring to my left-handedness. "No, I just know you." I corrected smiling. He hit me playfully. "Kitty has claws." I said while we went over to Independence Hall. He hissed at me, and I stuck my tongue out at him.
Sorry I know this one's short but I'm technically finished I'm just fixing my old mistakes!
