Ellie was getting a little excited. She might get a car for Christmas. It wouldn't be new, but it would be her own. Something small. Economical.
"Probably a PT Cruiser," Kyle acted as if he'd never drive one as if it might be beneath him.
"Honestly, I don't care as long as it can get me to work and back." She shrugged. They were in the department store where Ellie used to work. She was looking for gifts for Ben and Lonnie too. She was so behind on the Christmas shopping. Somehow Kyle came with her which she really wasn't sure what that was about.
"How did Amanda look to you?" He said out of the blue, and it startled Ellie as she was just about to pick up some cologne from Burberry for Ben. Maybe even Lonnie. Of course, Eric. She hoped she had enough cash for this.
"What do you mean?" Ellie looked up at him.
"I dunno."
"She was fine. She did great? What is your point?" She winced, wishing he'd let her concentrate on gifts instead of him and Amanda.
"You think she's getting," he paused then. She wondered if he wanted her to guess. "Fat?" He then said.
"I can't believe you," Ellie snapped. "Now you can't go out with her because you think she's fat?"
"No." He argued back. "Its nothing. I didn't mean anything by it." He shook his head, no.
"You really are so shallow," Ellie told him. "Just to break up with her because she's gained a few holiday pounds."
"I'm not breaking up with her," Kyle walked off then.
She smiled then. Just in time for her to pick him some cologne too. Just not the expensive stuff.
wow i didnt know about that band! the combination of the band members is kinda funny =) trace cyrus and mason musso xD ive gotta show this to my sister she will freak out i guess...=) thx for the hint.
ReplyDeletei really like "seventeen forever"
Yay, this year I'm NOT behind on Christmas shopping!! But I'm probably annoying you guys already, telling this to everyone and everything ^^ And I'd be like Ellie, I wouldn't care about what car I get as long as it gets me to work and back. I wouldn't like a big, polished snob-car though.
ReplyDeleteWow, Ellie is really generous, thinking about giving Ben a cologne from Burberry.
I wonder what Ellie is thinking...about Kyle. And Amanda.
Thanks for your comment, Ellie. I wonder if Kyle is wondering about the same things as me.
By the way, it's really cool how the character in the story is called Ellie and you are, too [I saw it in the sidebar where you have the copyright].
Have a great weekend!!
