Chapter 9
For the first time in our life we have a chance to shop for our own clothes. In the orphanage, they order our clothes. Clothes that are out of fashion. They were hideous. Some kids had to wear clothes that was twice their size or tight. Kids always complained but of course they never listen to our opinion. Except for that one time but I'm not going get into details with that long story.
"So mom where are we going?" Kayla asked as she skipped out the doorway. "Well I haven't decided where to get your all outfits. Wait....I know a perfect place to get wonderful clothing. It's a store called Oscar de la Renta."
"What's that? Is it a person?" I asked. "A store Mariyah. It's so obvious." Kayla lectured. "Yes it is a store but the only store we're going to today. After that we're going somewhere fun. Got it?" "Yes ma'am." Kayla said. I rather go to the fun place first. I could wait for the clothes another day.
While driving, I looked out the window seeing things that you'll never see in New York. Giant houses, warm weather like every day, Palm trees, stars on the ground. Wow the only thing I noticed about New York is the Statue of Liberty. I used to see it every day from the window of the orphanage. We always use it say the pledge of allegiance with the flag outside in front of the building.
"Hey mom, how was it like living in California when you were younger?" I asked. She looked up to mirror seeing my reflection. "Funny you would ask. I'm not from America. I was born in the United Kingdom. In London."
"What? Mom your not American! No wonder why you have an ascent!" Kayla yelled.
"New question. Why does your last name have camp and bell? And why does dad have jack and son?" I asked.
The car was silent. Did I ask a stupid question? Or did I.
The car ride was very smooth. Maybe I can ask dad about his career. I always wanted to ask a celebrity about their career and maybe take some use of what they achieved during their career. Maybe I can ask mom whats modeling like.
Finally we pulled up to our destination. The store is somewhat big. I opened the car door and a cool breeze hits my face. I guess the wind picked up since that 20 minute drive.
"You girls ready to shop? Don't mind me if i spoil you. I go crazy over these kind of clothes." Naomi was happy and pretty excited about shopping. When we walked into the store, the a/c is like a gust of cold air. Well it's not that hot outside. Well it's humid and my two pony tails frizzed up and now I got two pompoms on my head.
I looked all around the store for nice outfits. Its nice clothes but I don't know what to pick. Of course Kayla and Destiny got like 5 outfits by now. I'm stuck with a pair of jeans. As I scanned through various clothes, Naomi sneaked behind me. I jumped as she tapped me on my shoulder. "Did you find anything yet? Naomi asked. I showed her the jeans I picked out. "That's it? Come let me show you a nice outfit you may like." Naomi grabbed my hand and showed me a collection of clothes on the shelves. We stood in front of the shelves. I'm just wait for clothes just to rain down on me. But of course it's nothing.
Then a shirt caught my attention. I tried to reach it but it was too high. Naomi saw me reaching for it and grabbed it for me. I had to stand on top of the world in order to reach it.
"This one you like." Naomi unfolded the shirt. The world's most colorful tie-die shirt I've ever seen. "So you like colorful clothes ay?" Naomi asked. I nodded my head uncontrollably. "Well okay."
I wanted to put the shirt on so bad. One outfit I have. Once again I walked around the store for another outfit. At this point I just picked anything. I walked to where Naomi standing. "All done?" She asked. Kayla and Destiny met up with us. "Oh my goodness are you trying to clean out mom's bank account?" I laughed. They had so much clothes, that it looks like they're buying the whole store.
The cashier rung out all of the clothes.
Kayla had like 3 bags. Destiny put of few clothes back. So me and her had one bag. Looking at those bags made me think I should had gotten more clothes. There was no limit we had but still, I don't like spending other people's money.
When we left the store it was time to head to the fun place. What is it? What will we be doing there? How far is it because I can't wait to get there.
The drive was short this time. We pulled up to a place where it was a black gate. Two big men stood in front of the gate. They opened the gate. They must notice who it was. Naomi drove in and park the car where Michael was standing. I opened the door and Michael waved to us. The place was breath taking. I never been here or to any place like this. Am I dreaming?
