Downtown... Credit Cards... Yes please!

[Ameenah]

Mikayla paced back and forth in the main courtyard of the shopping center. She was contemplating a few purchases and weighing the repercussions of maxing out her cards again. She replayed the conversation with her parents in her head again.

"This card is for emergencies only"... that was dad.. so trusting. "I think you need to leave it somewhere you wont be tempted!" .. and mom, knows me well! She thought to herself

From her perspective this was indeed an emergency. The new spring collection of Salvatore Ferragamo shoes had just come out and she had been salivating over the Gilia Leather Platform Pumps since they were advertised with the fall collection.

I deserve these! She convinced herself. I just finished my midterms with a 4.0 ... I deserve it!

She paused and glanced across the courtyard to Saks Fifth Avenue. Letting out a sigh she quickly turned away to face the opposite direction. Her eyes fell on a familiar face.

Although Jasmine should of been back in her dorm room, she had to get some new fabrics for some of her designs anyway. So here she was, at the mall. Where most of the stores just so happened to be having major sales. Jasmine's eyes widened at every sale sign she passed. Clothes, accessories, shoes....all her weaknesses. "Oh my god. Why must the mall torture me like this?" she muttered, looking left and right at every store she passed by. Finally, she made it to her destination, the fabric store. And after getting what she needed, she intended on heading back to the dorms. But her brain seemed to be thinking something else. Somehow, she ended up in the shoe store next...eyeing a super adorable pair of heals which stared right back at her, calling for her. "Oh...god dammit." she gave in then, she set her bags down, grabbed the shoes in her size, and tried them on, instantly falling back in love with them.

Mikayla walked quickly across the median into the shoe store. She was mildly distracted by the sales in the shoe store but continued toward the girl trying on an amazing pair of heels!

"Those shoes deserve a good home! You have to buy them!!" She smiled wide, happy to see her old friend from MABtown

[Tori]

Just as Jasmine was debating on getting the heals or not, a voice startled her. A familiar voice. She spun around, finding herself squealing in sight of her old friend from MAB Town. "Kayla?!" she squeaked, throwing her hands up over her mouth to keep from screaming any louder. "Oh my god, what are you doing here? I mean, did you just move here or something? It's been so long!" she stopped there then, and threw her arms over her old friend in a big hug.

[Ameenah]

Mikaylas eyes were wide and she smiled. Excited to finally see a friendly face in Riverside. She chuckled as Jasmine bombarded her with questions before hugging her.

"Im so happy to see you!!" she squeaked as they hugged.

She stepped back and smiled again. "Yeah my parents just finished having their house built. I was commuting for a while to go to the University and mom finally got tired of me and my brother traveling so much, so we moved. How have you been??? I have missed you sooo much!"

Mikayla couldnt stop smiling. She glanced down at the shoe Jasmine had on "And i wasnt joking.. you need to have those shoes!"

[Tori]

"Wow, really? I mean, I'm so happy to see you too! I've been great. Actually, I go to the University here now. Still majoring in Fashion of course." she giggled, putting her focus back on the shoes she was wearing. "And you're right. I definitely have to buy this. Today!" she grinned wider, plopping down on the stool to switch back to her own shoes, and carefully placed the newer ones back in the box. "So, you wanna head down to the food court after I buy these? I'm sure we have so much to catch up on." she offered, giving Mikayla her best smile.
