The Reason Why
//chapter eight//
"What about this
one?" Stephanie yelled over the noise of the packed shopping
mall, readjusting her Coach purse and showing me a hot pink
Juicy Couture jacket with "So
Juicy " printed in
cursive gold letters on the back with a bedazzled cupcake. I
turned up my nose.
"No, I don't think so..."
I said, shaking my head apologetically. Stephanie rolled her
eyes, sighed and snapped her gum. I know that anyone else
would be insulted by her guestures, but to me, it was just
Stephanie being Stephanie.
"C'mon, Kristy." She
muttered to her gorgeous blonde friend and they strutted down the
isle to admire a matching turquoise Juicy Couture jacket and
sweatpants.
"Yes, it's pretty and all,
Kristy, but I already have it! We can nawt have the same
thing." I overheard Stephanie insist. And of course, Kristy
nodded like and obediant puppy. I sighed and checked out a moss
green Juicy jacket, but decided it was too.. green! I
found a dull bluish gray one, though, and showed it to
Steph.
"Hey, Stephanie! Will this one
work?" I ask-shouted.
"Yes! But you'll just
have to get the matching sweatpants!!" She
cried.
I nodded. "Okay!"
Gloria had given me a shopping spree -
without a limit! So I was pretty much free to buy whatever I
wanted. Any other time, I would've died from happiness. But
now, three weeks after my parents' funeral, I would rather be
in my bed. I'd only come because Stephanie forced me - I
figured she didn't want to be seen in school with some
kid dressed like a loser.
"Cara! Let's get to
checkout," Stephanie called.
"Kay!" I said, and
shuffled through the mob of teenage girls with my bluish
gray outfit and another pink jacket I'd grabbed off
the rack. We purchased our items - the
total adding up to $698, and made our way out of
the store.
After a round to Miss Me, UGG
Austrailia, Victoria's Secret (Stephanie made me
get thongs and push-up bras!), Coach, and a few
other designer places I'd never even heard of and
already forgotten the names of, we left the mall having spent
$10,521. It was crazy out of control. But I guess that was just
my lifestyle now.
