Chapter 6

The girls headed straight to their favorite clothing store, Fashion Central.

“Did you see what Latasha was wearing on Friday?” Jamee asked. “Didn’t she look good?”

“Latasha?” Darcy scoffed. “If you ask me, that shirt was just too small. How is she ever gonna be taken seriously with her belly all exposed like that?”

“I thought she looked nice,” Cindy replied. “Anyway, guys seemed to like what she was wearing.”

Darcy laughed. “You two need to get over that,” she said. “What guys want is not always best for you. Besides, when you get to be juniors, you’ll be so busy working and looking for college money that you won’t even care about clothes.”

Cindy noticed Jamee rolling her eyes at her sister’s comment. “Hey, do you like these shoes?” Jamee asked, holding up a pair of leather sneakers. “I saw a girl wearing them in a new music video.”

“Oh, I love them!” Cindy cried. “But they cost eighty dollars. There’s no way I can afford that.”

“Look,” Darcy shouted, “the stuff on this rack is sixty percent off.”

The two girls rushed over, and Cindy grabbed an off-white sleeveless top. “It’s my size, and it’s only seven dollars! I can get two of these and a pair of pants,” Cindy exclaimed, grabbing a number of inexpensive items off the shelves.

“Jamee,” Darcy said as she searched through the rack, “did you tell Cindy about our Halloween party?”

“No, not yet,” Jamee replied, examining a gray ribbed top.

“What party?” Cindy asked.

“Were having some friends over for Halloween,” Darcy explained. “I told Jamee to invite you and Amberlynn. We’re gonna watch scary movies and eat tons of junk food. It’ll be great.”

“Yeah Cindy, you gotta come over,” Jamee added.

“We’ll see,” Cindy replied. “I don’t know what Bobby’s planning that night. He might want to do something.”

Jamee rolled her eyes but said nothing. Cindy pretended not to notice her reaction.

“Well,” Darcy said with a pleasant smile. “Just know you’re invited. It’s up to you whether or not you come over.”

“Thanks,” Cindy mumbled, trying not to be bothered by Jamee’s silence.

For the rest of the afternoon, the girls wandered around the mall looking at clothes, listening to music, and eating at the food court. Cindy bought three tops and a pair of pants with her money, and by the time she got home, her mother had already left for work. It was just as well, Cindy thought. All they would have done is bicker some more. Cindy went right to her room to try on her new clothes.

Looking in the mirror, Cindy liked what she saw. Her new purple shirt and black pants fit her body perfectly. She could hardly wait to see Bobby’s reaction when he saw her in them. She went through her entire closet trying on outfits she thought Bobby would like.

Cindy had never thought much of her body. But now as she modeled her clothes, she noticed curves and shapes that were not there before. Mom was always the one with the great shape. But now, in her new outfits, Cindy could see she had a body of her own, one that Bobby Wallace seemed to like.
