Giselle walks with Malik and I walk Caleb.
I make sure I keep my distance.
"So, how old are you?" Caleb asked.
"Seventeen, you?"
"Seventeen as well."
"Nice,"
"Yeah," Caleb says.
Awkward silence.
I see a Lakers jersey in the window of a sports shop and I look at it.
It's a camaflouge Kobe jersey.
(Modeled by me ☺)
"That's real nice!" I point to it.
"Let's go see how much it cost!" Caleb says.
I nod my head.
"We'll be at the Nike store," Malik says.
Caleb and I enter the sports shop and I find a worker.
"How much for the Kobe jersey?" I asked the worker.
"The camo one is eighty and the regular purple and yellow one is sixty!" The worker says.
Sheesh, that's a lot for a jersey.
"Oh okay." I say.
"What size do you wear?" Caleb asked.
"A small,"
"Can I see a small in the camouflage jersey please?" Caleb asked the worker.
The worker walks to the back and I look at Caleb with an eyebrow raised.
"I don't have enough money for the jersey!"
"Who says I was getting it for you?" Caleb asked with a wink. "It's for me!"
I know for a fact this boy isn't gonna fit a small jersey!
After we leave the store Caleb holds the jersey up to himself.
"Damn, it doesn't look like I'm going to fit this!" Caleb says with a smirk.
"We can go get you a medium one," I say.
"Nah, I think I'll give it to a friend as a gift!" Caleb says.
I nod my head.

We meet up with Giselle and Malik, and I go to a dressing room to try on a Nike shirt.
I leave my bags with Giselle.
I come back a few minutes later.
"Hey, it was fun hanging out with you guys, but we've got to go!" Malik says.
"Nice meeting you, goodbye!" I wave.
Malik walks to Giselle and he gives her a hug goodbye.
Caleb gives me a fist bump before the both of them leave.
"I hope you had fun with Malik," I say to Giselle.
"I had a lot of fun!" Giselle smiles at me. "Thanks for that Joslyn!"
"No problem, you're lucky Caleb didn't try anything, or else I would've dipped!" I laugh grabbing my bags.
