That morning they ran around getting ready they were going to cover a mall, not the outlet mall, but a mall. They took a shower, did the beauty regime that seemed almost religious to them, put on a holly would dress and shoes and put on makeup with carefully picked out shoes picked out by one of the more shoe smart friends back home, Priscilla, or preco as they called her. So out the door they went as they caught a bus or trolley or something to the nearest mall.
Yvonne and Tess went shopping and covered the whole mall twice; they bought something in almost every store and stopped to get their nails done. That day was going perfectly. No call from Rita, Rip or Henley. They called their parents so everything went up from there.
They went back to their room went for a quick run thinking about their friend Sarah, who imed her right after they went for their run.

Yvonne did her hair in a bun with the tiara and a little black dress; she looked exactly like Audrey Hepburn. It was so Audrey hepburnish.
“You look great” Tess said as Yvonne emerged from the bathroom.

We've been immortalized! :claps:

Chapter 5
“Shopping, here I come” Yvonne greeted the day with a saying that only got the non shopaholics messed up with. Yvonne phone rang, it was Rip.
“Hi baby”
“Hey, Rip
“How is Maine?”
“Not good without you”
“Oh really”
“Yea you should bring Lewis and dean and come up here to see us”
“Maybe, I got to go eat breakfast.” Just then someone knocked on the door; it was a package from Rip.
“To my baby from your beau” she read the tag out loud. She open-end it to find a beautiful diamond necklace, their summer love gift! She got him a Rolex watch. The door was open and in stepped Zia, tan from her trip to Greece.
“Oh my god, zed!”
“Yea, I know we left early”
“That’s great, get ready we are going shopping”
“Yea, what else is new”
“Nothing”
“Is that your summer love gift from Rip?”
“Yea” she said patting the necklace with manicured hands.
“It’s so pretty”
“Thanks”
“So this is the hotel”
“I know isn’t it great?”
“It’s perfect”
“It is so Audrey Hepburn-is”
“I know”
“You got a beach and pool with Jacuzzi what more could you want!”
“I know it’s a great price to hold all of us for the time we are stating here” they hugged and air kissed which was the thing that they had to get used to go into 8th grade.
“Let me get ready and settled in and we will go” and Zia was always a fast person. So she was fettled in and ready in ten minutes or less.
All three girls were just stunning walking through the malls and streets of Maine. The shopping was so great here, it almost added up to new York they all thought but they saw no street vendors selling fake designer bags so they decided against it. They wished they could do this every year but this might be the last time depending on the high schools they went to. Those separating were like the earth splitting open, hopefully it would never happen. They have been friends since the first grade and it was going to stay that way, forever and always or as Zia says, now and later but she was mentioning a candy and candy never lasts forever. What if zip’s interpretation was right, the might last now and later but not forever and always. These thoughts scared Yvonne white, hopefully that wouldn’t show on the tan Yvonne. Her friends weren’t saying anything with their critical eye she she thought she was safe.
“Yvonne you are pale what happened?” damn the cover was blown.
“No nothing I just have a headache; I’ll take some Advil later”
“Okay”
“Alright”
“Let’s go shopping!” Zia interrupted
 
this is great, shani- keep up the good work! how much more do you have until you're done?
 
well a, lot, but i want to get it published in the next year or so.
 
Chapter 4
Dinner was great. They ate luxuriously and two people commented on their Audrey Hepburn looks.
“That is so Audrey Hepburn-ish!” they both said in unison. This was a great vacation so far, next year she wanted to go to Italy with Rip, a nice romantic trip but not too romantic, Yvonne was a catholic and even though she doesn’t really exercise her religion she was still a virgin until marriage. Tess and she were going to be friends forever she could just feel it in her blood, but her best friend Zia wasn’t going to be forgotten easily; she was visiting her family in Greece and was going to join the girls in 4 days. Zia was Yvonne’s friend before anyone else, so Yvonne was always true to her. Her and her friend Tasha set her up with Rip so she owed them, big.
They caught a bus and rode home, to happy to do anything but smile. They sat on the beach all dressed up, it felt so right, so Audrey Hepburn-ish. The next day was the day they were going to the outlet mall in Kittery last time Yvonne was there she got a bra for 4.00! Obviously she was going to have to use that bargain usage this time.
* * *
That night Yvonne had a weird dream, she was with Rip and he saw her but she don’t see herself, she couldn’t see what she was wearing or even her face. He kept on getting closer and closer and commenting on her but she couldn’t see what he was talking about. They Henley came in the picture and that scared her because all of her friends even her family came in and started commenting, good and bad, but she couldn’t see herself. She woke up crying and screaming at the same time. She couldn’t believe it did the dream symbolize something. The only person she didn’t see there was her mother. Yvonne was scared did this mean she couldn’t see her true self?
“I had the weirdest dream”
“I know you were talking I your sleep, something about being invisible and to tell you what you were commenting about and to stop”
“Really?”
“Yea what was that all about?”
“I don’t know”
“I hope you find out, I got a little scared the way you woke up”
“Okay”
They boarded a bus and went to breakfast at one of those famous blueberry pancake places; they split a stack of pancakes because they were both on ‘summer vice diets’
Then the finally awaited moment of the vacation happened the arrived at one of the outlet malls they planned to cover two or three of the different outlet malls.
“Shoppers paradise”
“I know Tess can you believe it”
“I know Yvonne”
“lets go in crate and barrel and hit the mall after this, I fell like going shopping like this tomorrow because today we should go to most of the malls and go mall hopping”
“Yea, that’s smart, a full day of shopping perfect”
“I know”
“I can’t wait”
After a lunch of taco bell and a home cooked dinner of fried sole they went to the pool and relaxed I the Jacuzzi and then went swimming for exercise. They did most of the malls and planned to do the rest tomorrow. When Zia came they were going to go full frontal shopping one more time and head to Bar Harbor for 3 days and come home.
“Do you miss your family” Tess asked Yvonne as they were walking back to their hotel room.
“No not really, not that much anyways, I miss Nathan most of all but I really miss Rip, Henley and Tasha. Zia should be here soon so I don’t miss her that much”
“Oh okay”
“Do you miss anyone, Tess?”
“Well not that much but I do miss Lewis”
“I know I know”
“You want to kiss Rip don’t you?”
“Yea and you want to kiss Lewis”
“Yea”
“I kissed sephora once”
“I know me, too”
“That’s cool”
“; lets go to sleep I want to get up early tomorrow.”
“Yea me, too”
After dong some yoga by the ocean they were so tired they practically fell in their beds.
“This is so not Audrey Hepburn-ish” Yvonne mumbled
“I know” replied a very tired Tess
“Let’s go to bed”
“I know”
“Then why are we still talking”
“I don’t know”
“Then let’s shut up”
“Okay”
“Good-night”
“Good night” silence followed and the you heard Tess mumble
“Happy shopping”
“Shut up Tess”
“I’m just saying”
“Well stop saying”
“Okay”
“So shut up”
“Okay”
“Are you shutting up?”
“Yes”
“well good night and happy shopping, there I said it happy, I even put it all together so I don’t waste time” a long silence and then you hear the sound of Tess fake snoring.
“Tess…..” Yvonne said trying to hide a giggle
They both broke out laughing and couldn’t go to sleep for another ten or fifteen minutes. This was obviously the price of a good friendship, missing an hour of sleep talking about nothing and missing valuable shopping time. Hopefully this was the only cost of friendship Yvonne hoped.

“Okay”
“Alright”
“Let’s go shopping!” Zia interrupted. Yvonne had been worried before, in 6th grade she wasn’t the best student and violated like 3 of the Ten Commandments, she was afraid she would go to hell, but Yvonne had a big heart and inside, just deep enough to give Yvonne enough faith to go on, she knew god still loved her, and he knew she didn’t know. She also got anxiety and almost passed out once, but nobody knew that. It ruined her vacation, but she wasn’t about to let that happen again. In 6th grade she appeared like a bad student but it was the anxiety that summer after days of convincing her parents to let her go they allowed going to a hunter summer course, for the gifted. Of course Yvonne just felt like going cause, she also got her parents to let her go shopping on occasion. Shopping in the city, although expensive is one of the most self rewarding things ever. She also could go see a movie when she wanted to, after all she had to do was go to Angelica Theater, and watch a movie for like 4 dollars and go home. That was where her and carmine went once, since carmine and her were together once. It was a nice date a movie and then they went to pomes frits, a restaurant that serves only fries. It was a dream date that Yvonne was never going to forget.
That night Yvonne thought about her friends, Rita, Nikki, Henley, Alyssa, Drew, Zia, Tasha, Trish, Tess, Rip ,Rose, Lori, Michelle, Mindy, Kendra, Dustin, Mario, Carla, Pricilla, Frannie, Willie, Phil, Henry, Ben, Scott, carmine, Liz, Victoria, john , Frankie, Donna, veronica, wade, Doug, tom, Jim, Sara, Ryan, Edna, Joe, Sophie, Eddie, Emie, Vince, Rosa, Arnie, Vickie, Naomi, Nellie, Nile, Mickie, Andy, Anthony, Paul and Alianna who was Nikki’s sister who was more like a role model for Yvonne, she was everything she wanted to be and more.
