On a sunny, monday Kathy rose up from her dreamy long sleep, it was 6:00 in the morning. She was going to work today! She groomed her hair, changed her clothes and went off. Her job was a storage room clerk and so she was the one who stacked the boxed in the storage or the one behind the counter. The counter person! She went to the shop named Orange Juice and quickly put on her name tag. The store opened just by the time she got there. She was waiting until 7:00 until her job started.
One hour later, she went behind the counter and waited for customers to come in. at 7:35 she looked at the doorway and saw 2 people coming in. It was a little girl and her mother.
"Hello miss, what can I do for you today?" Kathy said positively.
"Oh, I am just looking for the perfect shirt for my daughter here" The woman looked at her daughter that hid behind her,
"Her name is Crystal. She is a little bit shy right now." Kathy heard her whisper to her daughter,"Come out, come out"
Kathy escorted them to the most finest t-shirts they had. The girl named crystal grabbed the shirt and looked at it and said with amazingly big eyes,
"WOW! PRETTY!" She asked her mother if she could try it on. When she came out of the dressing room, the mother said clapping her hands rather rapidly, "I'll buy it!"

Jess practically dragged Bea in, eyes sparkling with all the new tops on display at Orange Juice. She remembered this store from their old mall, and it had been one of her favorite places to shop.
Picking out a blue and pink shirt that looked like it was actually two shirts on top of each other (I've seen it! lol), Jess held it up to see if it would fit, first. "What do you think?" she asked her new friend, subconsciously checking out of the corner of her eye if Julian was still standing outside. She felt bad leaving him there, but he wouldn't have liked it anyway.

"Very cute." Bea complimented as she scanned the store for a top she'd like. Orange Juice. It was an okay store. It did have the cutest outfits after all. She walked around the store at least a couple more times till she found a green and white shirt, and like the shirt Jess picked out it looked like a 2 in 1. White was on top, decorated with two overlapping green, glittery hearts in the upper corner of the shirt, and Green in the bottom.
"How about this shirt? How do you think it'd look on me?" she asked her friend

"That's awesome, we'd have matching ones!" she said, comparing the two. Aside from the colors, hers had stars glittering in the corner instead of hearts. "Too bad your brother can't get one, 'else we'd be triplets." For a moment she paused and pictured Julian or any other boy in a glittery girl t-shirt, and burst out laughing, earning some weird looks from the other customers.

Imagining Julian wearing a kind of shirt like they had in her hands she burst out laughing with Jess. She then patted Jess' shoulder, pointing towards the counter. Bea put the shirt down on the counter and just gave Jess a wide grin.
"Hey Julian." Bea greeted, seeing her brother enter the store; earning a couple, ok maybe alot, of female attention. Knowing Julian though, she knew he didn't care. He continued to walk towards the pair, Bea not noticing the unreadable look he was giving Jess.

She went to the counter and paid the $17 for it, ignoring the accessories clearly calling out her name from a rack on the counter and smiling at the saleslady. "I'll take this one, please," she told Kathy, taking care not to look behind her since coincidentally a person was in the shop who she didn't want to look at. Just yet. But of course, she had to pretend nothing was different, so she called out to him as she was waiting for the shirt. "Hey Julian, come to buy something new?" she joked him, wondering if her shirt was hiked up too much right now or not.

"Actually yes" Julian said replying with a mischeivous smirk on his face. He grabbed a random shirt and put it in from of him. He then ran, more like skipped, towards the girls and said in a high pitched voice "What do you think girls? Cute or what?" he asked, the last question being more of a squeal. Bea along with the other customers giggled at this.

Jess laughed, shooting a look at Kathy to see if the salesclerks here got angry at goofing off teenagers. It had been like that back home--wait, this was her home now. Enraged at the fact that she still had to remind herself that, Jessie smiled sheepishly as she took back the shirt in its orange bag. OJ always had cute wrappers.
"Where do you want to go next, guys?" she asked the others, looking around. "Take me on a tour."

"Oh right! We were supposed to show you around!" Bea said remembering the conversation they had earlier today. After paying the $17 for the shirt and a quick "hello" to Kathy. She grasped both Jess and Julian's wrist, dragging them out of the store and out of the mall.
"Let's head out to the Community Club then."
ooc: afta you reply Is, let's make a post in the Community Club k?

Kathy realized that her shift is almost over she heads out and sees her two friends, Bea and Jess. Seeing them leave she waves and says goodbye.

"Oka--" The words were torn out of her mouth as Bea grabbed her wrist and dragged her along. Laughing good-naturedly, Jess followed her, waving goodbye to the store clerk. "Thank you---" she peered at the girl's face and then recognized her. "---Kathy! See ya!" With a bright smile, she let her friend pull her along, conscious of the fact that since Bea was pulling the both of them, she and Julian bumped into each other rather painfully along the way. Painfully, but... not necessarily in a bad way.
STOP thinking that way!
It was no use, she knew, but she had to hide the fact that she now had a major crush on her friend's twin, because it would make everything complicated...plus the fact that her parents would come and interrogate him if they so much as caught a breath of gossip that she liked him.

Kathy ran out the door and helped Jess stand up and said, "Are you ok jess?" She felt worried that both of her friends were injured. She knelt down, "Are you o..." Kathy stopped. The manager was there with a displeasing smile on her face. Kathy looked at Bea and Jess with a worried face. She quickly ran and waved a goodbye before she entered the store.

"Thanks," she whispered to Kathy before picking herself up and dusting herself off. She looked up--into the eyes of Julian.
Not again.
Cartwheels, butterflies, breezes, rollercoaster ride--
"...Sorry," she laughed abruptly, looking away. Turning to catch up with Bea, who was probably laughing her butt off right now, Jess forgot her shoulder strap bag lying on the floor. Being struck by something similar to lightning did that to people.

Kathy saw the clock. It was 12:00! She went back to the dressing room where she left her stuff and quickly dressed up into kacky clothes then rushed saying good bye to the manager. Kathy ran and ran she could not find them anywhere. Suddenly, a faint voice coming from her back and she knew that voice. She quickly turned around a smiled.

Bumping into Jess gave Julian sudden jolts of lightning. A weird, tingling sensation coursed through his body. When she looked right up at his eyes after what seemed like forever, she quickly looked away and started hurrying towards his younger sister.
Julian sighed in slight frustration, sliding his hand through his unruly hair. What was wrong with him today? Looking down at the floor he didn't expect to find a familiar handbag laying on the ground. He picked the bag up and headed towards the two girl.
A smell suddenly wafted into his nostrils. It smelled like...flowers, probably came from the cologne or something. When he finally found the source of the smell it was actually the bag he was holding firmly.
The hazel eyed boy sighed and when he finally was at arms reach of Jess, gently put the bag in front of her face "I think you forgot something."
