10 minutes later Amy and I arrived at the Summerville shopping mall. I went straight to a cash point, typed in the pin my mom had given me when she created the account, and took £100 out. "Wow. That's a lot of money." Amy said staring at my bundle of cash I was stuffing into my purse. "My mom set the account up for me and transferred a couple of hundred pounds in there for me to get by on." We walked away from the cash point and entered the first shop. It was a school shop. "Come on, I'll show you where Richmond High School stuff is." And with that I followed Amy to the back of the shop. In the Richmond High School section there was; blazers, shirts, jumpers, trousers, skirts, ties, socks and shoes. There was also the PE uniform. I ended up buying; 1 blazer, 2 skirts, 2 jumpers, 1 pair of trousers, 7 shirts, a tie, a pack of black socks and a pair of black, dolly's for school shoes. I also brought the PE uniform and white trainers. Next Amy and I went to Primark to get me some casual clothes. I brought; 3 pairs of baggy jeans and 2 pairs of skinny jeans, 2 pairs of trackie bottoms and 2 hoodies to match, 6 strappy tops, 4 shirts, 2 polo tops, 9 t-shirts, 2 dresses, 3 pairs of sandals, a pair of trainers, 2 pairs of high heels, 3 bags(one for school) and 10 matching bra's and knickers.
Amy and I left Primark and walked over to the cafe. As we sat down Amy grabbed her phone out from her bag. "Do you have a phone?" She asked. I shook my head. "My parents don't believe in phones. They say they have ruined the fun of talking." We both burst out laughing. "We could go get you one? A phone that is." "That'll be great. Thanks." We sat and finished our drinks and then went to the phone shop. I picked out a small, black phone with a camera, Bluetooth, WIFI, internet and all the new apps. "That'll be £85 on pay as you go please. Oh and whatever you want to top it up with." I handed the man behind the counter £100. "Thank you." He said taking the money.
Back at the hostel Amy and I unpacked our bags of shopping we had just purchased. "So have you made any friends yet?" Amy asked hanging up her new blue top. "Not really. I met Luke Evens and he seems nice. Oh and I met this tool Edman and thanks to him I'm spending the next 3 days in the cooler." I replied as Amy sat on her bed. "Edman. You mean Edman Reed?" "Yep. Why do you know him?"I looked at Amy. She went quite. "Amy? Are you okay?" And just then Amy burst into tears. Rushing to Amy's side I pulled her into my arms. "It's okay. Amy it's okay." I kept repeating. Once she finally stopped crying I asked her, "What happened?" She looked at me. I could see her mascara running all down her face. "Edman and I dated up until about a month ago. He dumped me and then I found out I was pregnant. My parents found out, made me have an abortion and then kicked me out." "Oh my god, Amy I'm so sorry." Was all I could think to say as I cradled her in my arms.
