I dm him back and tell him I'll be over later.

"Where we going first?" Micah asks

"Pink" I reply, "It's closest"

"Alright" he follows me

We walk into Pink and immediately Micah starts to play games,

"Aye you should get this"

Micah holds up a thong and matching bra, "haha whatchu think?"

"Bruh go sit outside the store or sum" I whisper

He laughs, "All I'm saying is that would look fireee and any boy would go crazy for that."

Instead of saying something I ignore him and keep walking around the store to shop. Meanwhile Micah is left alone surrounded by thongs. I watch him as he begins to feel awkward since I left him alone so he begins to look around for me. Soon he finds me as I laugh at him for looking so awkward.

"What?" He asks

"Nothing" I laugh and keep shopping

Pretty soon I'm done shopping for all my things and now it's time to go to the stores Micah wants to go to.

"I think I wanna go to the Calvin Klein store again" he turns and starts walking the other way.

We walk back to the Calvin Klein store as I go on my phone. Suddenly I see Emily walking out way.

"Hoe" she whispers

"Wanna say that louder? Not sure I heard you clearly" I eye her, "say it again."

She rolls her eyes, "You're not worth it. I have better things to do."

Micah laughs as we walk into the store.

"Imma sit down" I tell him and head over to some chairs

"Aight" He walks away

About fifteen minutes pass and I suddenly see Micah walk out of the store and walk over to me, "You got a hoodie in your car?"

"No why?" I ask

"Just asking.." He replies, "Lets go to Nike."

"You find anything?" I ask as we walk away

"Yeah" He replies

"And you didn't get it-" I pause, "Micah are you serious?"

"What?" He holds his arms in front of his torso as if something's gonna fall out.

"You got money?" I ask

He nods, "Yeah I just wanted to have some fun."

Once we get around the corner he pulls me down a hall towards the bathrooms and guides me in the girls bathroom.

"Aight put this in your bag" he pulls out 3 packs of Calvin Klein boxers

"Was anyone watching?" I ask

He laughs, "Some girls working there were staring so I acted like I was on the phone with my girlfriend and they rolled their eyes and dipped."

"So in other words you were talking to yourself" I stuff his boxers in one of my bags, "lets go you can't be in here."

On the way to Nike we stop at Tillys and Micah picks up a few things then We continue to walk to Nike so Micah can look at shoes. After being there for 15 minutes, I'm looking at shoes for me when all of a sudden Micah quickly walks over to me.

"Ready?" He asks

"Yeah I guess" I shrug, "Where to next?"

"I wanna stop at champs" he looks behind him then behind me

"Micah-"

"What?" He interrupts, "Come on."

He grabs my hand and intertwines our hands like we're dating as we walk out. Micah plasters a smile on his face and calms down.

"What're your doing?" I mumble once we're farther from the store.

"Nothing big" he lets go of my hand, "this girl was just staring to long and I didn't wanna risk anything you know?"

"Whatever" I murmur as we head to champs.

Once we're in the store I look at clothes while waiting for Micah. Out of the corner of my eye I see Emily and two girls I don't recognize heading over to me but I pretend not to see her and keep shopping.

"I thought the poor people shop at goodwill?" She says with an attitude

"And I thought girls like you would be Able to use the only braincell you have to know when you should stay in your lane." I roll my eyes and walk the other way.

"Oh don't be a baby and walk off Tori. Not so tough when other girls are around huh?" She mutters

Suddenly I see Micah walk over and duck behind some clothes like he's tying his shoes 

"So I-" he stands up and sees me face to face with Emily and the two girls, "Shit didn't realize you're busy.."

"Hey Micah.." her face softens for a second

Micah doesn't say anything.

"Honestly Tori I think you just got issues" she looks me up and down, "You seem like a hoe you know? I mean you're dating Adym and yet you spend soooo much time with Micah. Adym has never been smart enough to figure out shit like this. I mean you'd think he'd connect the dots- well I mean he's never really been that smart-"

As I feel myself getting more and more annoyed I calmly set down my bags and give her an innocent smile,

"wow Emily.. You really just don't know when to stop huh?"

I go to swing but Micah picks me up in his arms and pulls me back. Before I can swing I manage to grab her hair and drag her along. But the two girls grab her and pull her back.

"OW-" she yells while trying to grab her hair from my hand.

Suddenly we see employees coming over and Micah drops me and we grab our bags and run out of the store since we're right by the door.

"Why'd you hold me back?" I ask while we head for the doors.

"The same reason we're running. I'm not tryna get you in trouble. Plus I copped some stuff from them so you know..." he laughs

We manage to get outside so we stop running and head into the parking garage.

"This was fun" he laughs, "Just like when we were younger."

"I probably should've just ignored her" I note

"She disrespected your boyfriend. Honestly I wouldn't be bugged if I was your boyfriend and you did that. I mean it could just be me but I wouldn't mind and I don't see why Adym would." Micah reasons.

We're halfway into the parking lot when I hear security call for us to stop. Micah looks at me and mumbles, "Don't turn around."

"I'm not dumb" I whisper back

Suddenly we hear them yell, "STOP. THIS IS MALL SECURITY. WE NEED YOU TO COME WITH US."

We keep walking as we hear footsteps getting closer

"Go behind the car to my right and we'll duck and run to the car. It's only like two rows away." He explains in a low tone

"Alright" I agree

Micah looks at me and we make a run for the car. As we run I unlock the car. As soon as we get in and I start the car, security is about four feet away. I quickly drive away and manage to leave the parking lot as Micah laughs.

"Yoooo I miss doing this" he beams

"It seemed easier when we were younger" I laugh

"Where to next?" He asks
