Chapter 10: Shopping at Monroeville Mall

The next day, I met some of my other friends Alex Russo, Justin Evans, Max Greenwald, and Carly Shay, as well as Carly's parents, Sam and Freddie, at Monroeville Mall to go shopping. "Hi, guys!" I greeted my friends. "Hi, Angel!" Alex greeted back. "Are you ready to go shopping?" Carly asked me. "Sure," I replied. Before we shopped, we saw The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part at the Cinemark Theater. Then, we went to our favorite stores, including Hallmark, Go! Calendar Toys and Games, H&M, Payless Shoe Source, Claire's, TCBY, and of course, the food court. "We should look at more Happy-Go-Luckys," Carly suggested. "Especially since I discovered them for the first time at the age of 14." I bought the Sweet Treats. Alex, of course, needed more spring dresses and shoes. "That year of high school when it was snowing hard, it was a good day to shop at the mall for some nice winter clothes," Alex stated. "Only, today I am buying spring clothes." Alex bought a few spring dresses with longer sleeves for chillier spring days and a few more pairs of wedge sandals, since that is her favorite pair of dress shoes. We all shopped at Claire's for jewelry and Go! Calendar Toys and Games for toys. Then, we got dinner at the food court. I got Chinese food, Alex got a cobb salad, and Carly got chicken tenders and baby potatoes. Then, we got dessert at TCBY. I ordered a chocolate chip cookie, Carly ordered a fruit smoothie, and Alex ordered a frozen yogurt sundae. After dinner and dessert, Alex, Justin, and Max drove me back to my mom's apartment in Highland Park. "Thanks for a great day, everyone!" I thanked my friends. "You're welcome, Angel," Alex replied. "Bye, guys!" "Bye!"
