Sarah borrowed her dad’s car and drove the three of us to the mall. I was then treated to a whirlwind of shopping madness that left my head spinning. I’d never seen anything like it before.

Sarah practically ran through a couple of clothing stores, grabbing what looked like random articles from the shelves (and once, right off a mannequin). She threw them into a basket, then hustled to the front to ring them all up.

“Um, shouldn’t I try those on first?” said Raven, staring at a blouse with disgust. It was a deep purple.

“I know your size,” said Sarah. “And besides, this is just for show. I know you’re never going to wear it.”

“Truth,” said Raven.

The cashier rang everything up. When the final number came up on the register, my eyes nearly erupted from my sockets. Sixty dollars. I couldn’t imagine spending that much on clothes, especially for just one outfit with an extra shirt for cold weather. But Sarah pulled some money from her wallet and handed it over without a second thought.

The clothes were bagged up, and we headed out the store’s door and into the mall. I stared at the bag of clothes, which Raven held with her fingertips like it was something dirty. That was more money than I’d ever had together at one time before in my life.

Raven led us through the doors of another clothing store. I felt the hairs on the back of my neck rise as hard, crunchy guitar music blared from speakers above us. Somebody was singing along with it, but their voice didn’t mesh with the guitar’s melody. And the singer sounded utterly depressed, like nothing had ever been right in his life and nothing ever would be.

That’s when our progress ground to a halt. Raven dug through rack after rack, selecting shirt after shirt after pants after skirt off the shelf, holding each of them up to Sarah’s body, then up to her own. Each was discarded, tossed back on the shelf with a “nope.”

After about twenty minutes, Sarah looked like she might have a conniption fit.

“Raven, you know the actual purpose of us being here today is just to meet with Anna and Briggs, right?” she said through gritted teeth.

“If I’m doing this, I’m doing it right,” said Raven. “You’ve been rocking cheerleader chic for way too long. It’s time you grew up.”

“I am grown up!” said Sarah, shocked.

“Here, how about this?” said Raven. She snatched up a red plaid skirt and held it against Sarah. “No, you need blue. This one.”

“Raven, just pick something!” said Sarah.

“Ugh,” said Raven. “Fine.”

But in the end, it was another half hour before we left. Raven’s bill was even higher than Sarah’s, because she got her a pair of thick-soled boots with spikes around the top. All in all I was gawking at the amount the two of them had spent on clothes. It was more money than I could imagine spending on fake clothing.

As we stepped out of the mall and
