"I know, that's why he all up in my DMS," Denny says swaying his hips and slapping his own ass, Chris and I laugh. Denny and Zara turn their heads back looking at us weirdly, we shift our gazes to the road, acting as if we weren't listening.

Rory turns a sharp corner, and we follow blindly, she could be leading us to death, and we wouldn't know until we're dead. I look up seeing we're at a run-down Walmart, we all look at her weirdly. "The prices are cheaper here," she says to her defence.

"Let's split up into groups, every group has only $20 to spend on food, nothing more. We meet up at the 5th isle in an hour," Rory says strictly in her motherly tone. "No touching anything you don't plan on buying, no talking to strangers, no shoplifting if you're bad at it, anything off-budget, you buy for yourself," she adds on, we all nod our heads.

"Okay, now that the rules are established, who wants to be in my group?" I and Denny raise our hands first, while Chris and Zara follow after. "Everyone wants to be with me?"

"Yes!"

"I just wanna steal something."

"Is candy in the budget?"

"Y'all think I could stick this pickle up my ass?"

"Okay everyone can come with me," Rory sighs walking into the store, Chris grabs a cart and Denny hops in the cart smiling like a kid in a candy store.

In the store Denny grabs anything with bright colours and puts it in the cart, me and Zara work together to take the things out of the cart as soon as he forgets he put them in. Chris pushes the cart and Rory works on getting ingredients to make us dinner, she says the quickest thing she can make is chicken alfredo which I've never had, I'm not used to non-Japanese foods.

When we enter the candy aisle Denny finally gets out of the cart, Rory counts how much money we can spend on treats and starts adding taxes to the things in the cart. "Everyone can spend 4 dollars on something they want for dessert," she announces.

We all split up looking for something under 4 dollars, Denny has to stay with Rory because he's been bad, Zara moves to the Halal section of the store while I and Chris go to the snack section together.

Chris picks up random numbers from random girls and boys he finds attractive through the store even though Rory says not to talk to strangers, I follow behind him kind of just watching. We end up in the snack aisle and I look to find something cheap that Kiki might want.

I end up picking out a snack called Takis, they look fatty like most American food, but it's okay. I walk to Chris seeing what he's getting, instead of picking up something small, he stuffs a little of everything in his jeans. "You can't afford that," I say curious.

"I know, that's why I'm stealing it. Cover me please." I nod my head covering him from the middle-aged worker who stands staring at us. I'm sure they're cameras watching him too. The worker looks unfazed and moves away from us, they don't get paid enough to care anyway.

I pull out my phone seeing a text from Rory.

Where are you guys??

6th isle, Chris is stealing snacks 😊

Rory, Zara and an annoyed Denny stand at the end of the aisle waiting for us, I pull Chris away from stealing the whole aisle seeing as Rory's getting anxious and annoyed. Rory pays at the self-checkout barely making it under $50 dollars. "Okay, now let's see if Chris can make it out the door a free man."

"Watch me." Chris does a funny dance stepping ahead of us and through the scanners, he pauses, it detects nothing, and he continues dancing through. We all laugh at him as he pulls out M&Ms from under his shirt.

"I'm never taking y'all anywhere," Rory says laughing with tears in her eyes.

"Wait what about me?" I and Zara pout at the same time, Zara sticks out her tongue at me and I roll my eyes feining annoyed.

"Except for you two."

The parking lot is empty with the excuse of one silver Honda civic with no tires. "Ooo let's have a shopping cart race," Denny says pulling on Rory's hands, she shrugs.

"Sure, why not?"

All of Toronto is completely dark, streetlights being the only source of light, the calm sound of the busy streets is the loudest thing you can hear. I look up at the sky to see a full moon, the stars are faint, but they're there.

Rory puts the items away, emptying the cart for Denny to sit in again. I run across the store to get another cart Rory can sit in, she sits in, and I push her in a circle getting the hang off manoeuvring it. She squeals and complains I'm going too fast.

I and Chris line our carts up with our racers beside each other, Zara stands holding her phone recording the moment. Rory turns to me and quickly pecks my lips. "We better win this," she says, her competitive nature pulling through, I nod my head determined not to let her down.

"On your mark!"

"Get set!"

"GO!"

I push Rory to the running start we get, then let the cart go for itself. Rory and Denny scream bloody murder when they reach the downhill of the parking lot, Rory has her hands up in the air squealing. Now I have to take her to an amusement park to see how she'll react there.

Zara runs beside them trying to catch up with her phone still recording.

I and Chris laugh seeing how much they're overreacting. Denny's tire starts acting out of control and he ends up crashing into the lone Honda civic, Chirs runs after him seeing as he falls out of the cart. I can't help but laugh hoping Zara caught that on camera.

Rory ends up winning, as she should. We run to each other meeting halfway, she jumps into my arms smiling big. She hugs me and I pick her up spinning her around. "We did it, we won fairly!" She kisses my lips excitedly.

AN: this chapter was based on something i wanna experience with a big friend group like them. this was also kinda a filler chapter because i really want this to be a love story, so there may not be any big scandals between them, just them falling in love. tell me if i made Rory too bitchy in this chapter 😭

what do y'all enjoy doing in your free time? for me, it's doing this tbh
