We jumped out of the carriage as soon as we came to a stop. It felt odd to have ridden one to the mall. Maybe if we had gone to the park or a scenic road, I would understand.

"Why did we take a carriage all the way here again?" I asked.

Isabella swung her arms behind her back and smiled. "I wanted to."

"That's it?" Thalia asked.

Isabella nodded. "Yup."

Thalia sighed. "You sure can be an oddball at times."

Alex snickered as he glanced at Elliot. "We all got that weird friend."

Elliot grumbled. "How rude..."

"Don't start arguing again," Xun said, striding forward. "Let's go."

"Wait, maybe we should break into groups," Ryan spoke up.

"Huh?" Thalia asked.

"We are too big. It'll be easier to look for what we all want if we divide into groups. You girls can go together and we guys can divide into groups of three or four."

"Good idea," the white haired wolf guy said, smiling.

Keith sighed. "I wanted to go with the girls, not you dudes."

He leered at his fellow wolf. "I don't trust you around the girls."

"Eh? I won't hurt them. I swear!"

"Regardless, you'll probably get bored quickly," I said, chuckling. Mom often took me shopping with her and I would find myself bored out of my mind.

Keith touched his chin. "True. Guess I'll go with you guys."

"Maybe we can hit up the arcade later!" Elliot said, grinning.

Olivia laughed and waved. "Get along boys! See you in a bit!"

"Alright," I said, waving back at her.
