"Oh... oh, yeah." Zach shook his head, like he was trying to snap out of something. I just smiled. 

"What kind of stuff does Jack like?" I repeated. 

"All kinds of stuff. He'll be happy with anything." Zach shrugged. 

"You can't name one thing that he loves?" I asked. Zach gave me a look, "Too soon, Zach." I laughed.

"I didn't say anything." Zach grinned, "But I was thinking you, yes." 

"A mature answer, please." I smiled. Zach thought for a bit.

"He likes skating... beanies... his style is also kinda..." He mimed with his hands. I raised an eyebrow.

"You... you can't mime a style with your-," I shook my head and rubbed the skin between my eyebrows. I got out my phone, deciding it would be best to get an idea from his Instagram. I scrolled through a few of his photos and nodded to myself.

"Out there..." I said to myself.

"You got that from-," Zach mimed with his hands again.

"Yes, Zach. I got 'out there' from your excellent hand actions." I smirked. 

"I knew I was good at them," Zach said, more to himself than anyone else, as he looked at his hands in front of him. 

"I'll call an uber." I smiled. 

"These are so cool." Zach grinned, pointing to some shoes in a shop window. 

"We're shopping for Jack, not us," I told him. 

"But you've already got two bags. Is... this for Jack?" Zach extracted a skirt from one of the bags and I silently thanked myself that I had decided not to buy anything from Victoria Secret. 

"We concluded his style with out there." I shrugged and laughed. 

"Wait, are you serious?" Zach asked, examining the skirt closely. 

"No you dipstick, it's for me." I laughed, taking the skirt back. 

"Oh right. I think it'll look nicer on you than it would on Jack anyways." Zach shrugged, "Wait, did you call me a dipstick?"

"Wait. Those look like some shoes Jack would like." I pointed at the window. It was a pair of black, high top Vans with flames on the outside part of the shoe. 

"Oh, yeah. He would really like those..." Zach agreed, "But I mean, they're expensive. And you did meet us a week ago." 

"Well, I wanna give him something thoughtful. You know, this hasn't exactly been the easiest week for him. And... these shoes seem like something he would love. So why not? Yolo, am I right?" I smiled. 

"I guess so." Zach said, "But as his best friend, how the hell am I gonna top that?" 

"We'll figure something out," I assured, taking his hand and pulling him after me, into the shop.

"Hey, you guys are back." Jack smiled as Zach and I bumped into him and Eben, "What did you get?" He started to look in the bag with his shoes but I batted his hand away. He flinched and his face went red.

"Underwear." I rushed to say, feeling my face grow hot as well.

"With Zach?" Eben laughed, "That must've been a mission."

"Hey." Zach pointed at him and frowned, "I am very mature." 

"Whatever you say, man." Eben smiled, ruffling his hair. 

"Is the whole cast from the What Am I shoot coming to your birthday tomorrow?" I asked Jack, changing the subject. 

"Yeah, I guess it's also like a thank you to everyone. The cast, the crew... the music video has been a hit so far." Jack shrugged.

"It sounds like it's gonna be great." I smiled, "I'd better go see where Maddy and Lili are." I waved to all of them before starting to walk away. 

"Did you really go into an underwear shop?" I heard Jack ask Zach. I laughed to myself, shook my head and made my way to the room.
