Chapter 11
-Asia’s POV-
“Mmmmm…” I moaned as I sipped my mocha latte with whipped cream.
“Moan any louder and people might think you’re getting really kinky with yourself,” Amira commented, swirling her own vanilla latte.
“Keep it PG Ami! Children are present!” I said, referring to Gerard and Mikey who were completely clueless next to us.
“Someone say our names?” Gerard asked.
“Just drink your Starbucks,” Jamia told them. The two exchanged looks, shrugged, and took large gulps of the searing hot coffee.
“OW! That’s hot!” Gerard jumped. “I burned my tongue.”
“Well what you like?” I asked him, chuckling. “A warning label?”
“Actually yes,” he said.
”But that’ll give more power to the idiots of the world.”
“I’m sure Gerard won’t mind the extra power.”
“Oh, haha Asia,” he pouted.
“Ooo! Let’s go in there!” Jamia pointed. We turned our heads and saw none other Victoria’s Secret.
“Uh uh, no,” Sam said.
“And just why not?” Jamia asked.
“Because we’ve been banned like, four times from that place. And I think they were serious the last time.”
“What’d you guys do in there?” Mikey asked.
“Well our good old’ pals Ray and Matt thought it’d be entertaining to try on some bras and run around modeling them to the customers. Let’s just say the threat alone will make you cringe if we go back there.”
“Oh come on, it wasn’t that bad,” Matt said.
“Matt honey,” Amira said, “you scarred some of the customers for life. Let’s try to avoid that this time.”
“Oh fine,” Jamia pouted. “How about Hot Topic?”
“I’m always up for Hot Topic,” Gerard told us.
“Me too, but I need to hit Journey’s first. I need new laces for my Converse,” I said to them.
“But why would you get some from Journeys? Hot Topic has Hello Kitty,” Sam explained.
“HELLO KITTY!” I yelled. That definitely attracted some unwanted attention from passing pedestrians. I was used to it by now.
“Hello Kitty obsession?” Gerard asked.
“Big time,” Sam said. “Her room is covered with it.”
“And I thought you were hardcore,” Mikey said.
“Hey, Hello Kitty’s as hardcore as they come!” I defended with a laugh.
“Amen!” Amira said.
“You tell him!”
“Power to the people!” Sam cheered. Cue more unwanted attention.
“Oh come on, don’t gang up on him. He just doesn’t understand my obsession.”
“Honey, none of us do,” Amira said. “But that’s okay, we love you anyways.”
“Yay! I feels special! Now off to get some Hello Kitty laces!” She exclaimed before dashing off to the dark store ahead of us.

“I like that one!” Jamia pointed to a shirt on the wall. It was a Halloween one, the Rob Zombie version of course.
“That one’s cool,” I said. The caffeine had worn off after I had tossed the remnants of my coffee. I was just waiting to get a new one later. “Ooo! I want that one!” I pointed upward.
“Let me see it!” Amira looked up. “Oh wow! They finally have a Mindless Self Indulgence tee!”
“And a Placebo one!” I added.
“Now I want one!” she pouted.
“Me too.”
“Well you can easily afford one. But we don’t all have cardiologists as fathers,” Jamia said, strolling over to us.
“Well I don’t have any money with me. I didn’t know we were going to the mall.”
“Ready to go somewhere else? Since we can’t afford anything, staying in here would just be pure torture.”
“Ah, but you see, I love torture! Just not on myself,” I said. “Gerard! Ray! Everyone! Get over here, we’re going!” I called out. They were in front of us within seconds. “Let’s go!” I said perkily. We left without another word.
“Oh look, Abercrombie! Let’s go in!” Jamia said.
“Is she serious?” Gerard whispered to me.
“Yeah, don’t worry. We just like going in there for kicks.”
“Uh huh. Sure then.”
“Oh. My. God,” I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw a very unwelcome sight.
“What?” They asked simultaneously. I simply pointed forward.
