Chapter 6

The mall was huge. There were four floors and over a 100 stores. Sam and I decided to roam around at first, eat and then play games. We walked around, cracking the lamest jokes and poking each other in the stomach.

Just then, I saw the Converse store. It was on sale! ‘Hey Alex, Converse is on sale.” Sam told me, pointing towards the store. Then he looked at me to see my reaction and groaned when he saw the glint in my eye, “oh no now we gotta go there! Me and my big fat mouth!”
I laughed and pulled him along with me. I bought a wicked pair of converse, black with white checks. Sam bought a new jacket and some t-shirts.

We window shopped for a while and walked into Vero Moda. I was trying on some clothes when I heard a familiar voice from the next changing room. It was Regina. I groaned and changed into my clothes quickly. When I got out, Sam asked “liked anything?” I nodded and told him the Regina was there. We both looked around and saw an escalator going up to Jack n’ Jones.
Suddenly, I asked Sam, “Why are we running?”
He looked at me and we cracked up.

We were still laughing when we got off the escalator. “Well, now that we’re here, you’d better find some clothes for yourself too.” I said as I started going through a rack of t-shirts. I found one that said ‘Do I Look Like I Care?’ and figured Sam would like this. I got it out. “What do you think?” and then I looked at his face. It was red with anger.
“Sam? What’s wrong?” but he didn’t reply. He just kept staring past my shoulder. I turned around and saw… Jason

I grabbed Sam and we walked out of the store. “Is he stalking you?” Sam asked me. I shrugged. “It’s not like I care.” And then I heard Jason call my name. I stopped, whirled around and acted surprised. “Jason, fancy seeing you here!” I told him.
“Yeah, after we told you we were coming here.” Sam muttered. I jabbed him with my elbow. “Ow!”
“Well, I came here with Regina.” Jason told us.
“Cool. Anyway, we gotta go. We’re hungry.” I told him. I wanted to get out of there, fast!
“We were on our way to the food court too. Why don’t we all go together?” he asked with a smile.
I saw Regina coming towards us, fuming.
“Er… no I don’t think that’s a good idea. Well, we’ll be off now. Enjoy!” I said and Sam and I walked away
