a young man almost too young I think kisses her cheek. “I take it as my queue to go?” She just looks at him and smiles. He gets almost to the door and turns around “can I call you tomorrow?” Hannah smiles at him “yes call tomorrow.” When the door is closed I ask, “are you going to take that call?” She shrugs and walks back into her room. ​She yells from her room, “Hey Gem, are you serious about going shopping?” I walk into her room and plop down on her bed. “Yes apparently I need clothes that are all sunshine and rainbows, rather then all greys and blacks. The HR person that hired me said, that I need to wear clothes that match my bubbly personality.” I say looking at the floor. Laughter makes me look up. She is laughing so hard she has to hold herself up on the dresser. “Why are you laughing at me Hannah?” ​“Sunshine and rainbows huh, I think we can make that work. However you know you can always borrow any of my clothes.” Getting up off the bed I just look at her. Of coarse I knew she was going to say that, I guess I better tell her the best news. The company is paying for the shopping trip. “I know but it would be nice to have my own clothes, plus she gave me a credit card.” I hold it up to her smiling. ​She jumps up and down with excitement, “why didn't you say so?” I just shrug. “Let me throw some clothes on and we will hit the mall.” She says as she turns to her closet. I get off the bed, “I guess I better go get some shoes.” Walking to my room I grab a pair of red flats and tube of red lipstick off my dresser. I swipe the lipstick on as I slide my shoes on. I turn to look in the mirror. What should I do with my hair I say thinking to myself. I grab a clip and swirl it into a bun and walk back out into the hallway. Just as Hannah steps out of her room looking radiant as ever. “You ready to go?” she asks. I smile at her and grab my bag. “Yeah as ready as I will ever be.” She giggles and shakes her head. ​As we pull up to the mall I look over at Hannah. “This is where you want to get clothes?” Shaking her head Hannah throws her keys in her bag and opens her door. “Get out of the car Gem.” I hate shopping and she wants me to go to the mall. “Fine I’m coming.” I say as I shut the door behind me. ​“We have to get a coffee to start this trip off right.” Hannah says. As I follow her to the line I bump into someone. Looking up my eyes meet a set of dark blue eyes swirling with green. It was like staring into the ocean. All the little hairs on my neck and arms stood on end. I got the most amazing feeling. Hannah grabbed my arm snapping me out of whatever that was. ​“Who’s this?” She says giggling. Leave it to her to go after the guy. I hold my hand out to him and try to introduce myself. “Hello I’m.” He cuts me off. “Sapphire right?” Taken aback I just stare at him. “Yes this is Sapphire,” Hannah shoves my shoulder. “Oh year sorry. Who are you?” I ask, trying not to be annoyed because h
