   Chapter 5: Let's Go To The Mall!  Today!

   Jenny and I walked casually down her street till we reached the end,
which had a bus stop at the corner formed by it and one of the more main
roads in town.  The bus stop had the usual amenities, a bench and a glass
structure surrounding it to help shield bus goers from the harsher weather
that was common in New England through a good portion of the year.  There
was also a schedule and according to it the next bus was going to show up
in about ten to fifteen minutes.

   Jenny and I just sat on the bench chatting back and forth a bit for five
minutes or so till we saw someone else approach the bus stop.  It was a guy
who was about 18 to 20 years old.  He was kind of tall and skinny.  It
didn't look like Jenny recognized him, so he mustn't have been from her
school and may have been from out of town.  He said hi to us and seemed
nice enough.  He walked past us and stood in the bus stop shelter in the
part to the side of the bench.  As he passed us Jenny looked at me then
giggled a bit.  I gave her a funny look and shrugged.

   A few minutes later the bus finally arrived and the other guy waved his
hand to let us on the bus first.  Jenny got in front of me and stepped onto
the bus, paying her fare and mine when she entered.  As she turned to walk
towards the rear of the bus she looked towards me again and giggled a
second time.  I followed her back to the second to last row of seats and we
took the side of the bus that had just two seats.

   "You didn't see it, did you?" Jenny asked.

   "See what?" I inquired, no doubt with a puzzled look on my face.

   "He was totally checking you out."

   "No way," I said and let out a laugh of my own.

   "Seriously," Jenny continued, "I saw him try peeking down your top at
the bus stop and when we got on the bus he definitely was studying your
ass."

   "Oh my god, that's so embarrassing," I said with a giggle.

   "Embarrassing?" Jenny asked.  "No, that's success right there. 
Literally the first guy to ever see you dressed up checks you out?  You
win."

   "I...  I guess so, huh?" I muse, sort of a statement and a question at
once.  "Well, I hope they aren't all like that."

   "They?" Jenny asks.  "Shouldn't you know about 'them'?"

   "I'm a girl, remember?  I'm Abby, pleased to meet you.  They're your
rules Jenny," I said and I was almost able to keep a straight face till I
cracked up with laughter at the end.  Jenny joined me and I'm pretty sure
the guy, who sat a few rows ahead of us, thought we were nuts when he heard
us.

   It didn't take very long for the bus to reach the commercial section of
town where the mall was and as the bus pulled up to the stop I stood and
started walking towards the front of the bus.  The guy was just standing up
and I walked past him, Jenny was lagging a bit behind and I noticed that
the guy got right out of his seat as I passed him and he was between Jenny
and me in the aisle.  I turned back to see Jenny and the guy was quite
close to me.

   "Uhh, sorry," he said when I turned to look for Jenny.  I shrugged, gave
him a little smile and again started towards the front of the bus.  I
exited and stopped to wait for Jenny.  The guy passed by me, gave me a
smile of his own and headed towards the mall.

   "SEE!" Jenny said to me as she reached me.  "He was totally checking you
out.  He'd want your pussy.  Ya know, if you had one."

   "Hey!" I shouted back, feigning offense and giving her a light smack.

   "C'mon," Jenny said, "I so want to do some shopping, don't you?"

   "I'd love to, but with what money?" I asked

   "You're my own personal Abby doll, remember?  As the doll owner I've got
to buy the outfits and such.  It's no big deal, really," Jenny told me as
we both walk towards the entrance to the mall.

   "So, where should we start?" I asked Jenny as we enter the mall.

   "Hmm, how about Claire's?" Jenny suggested.  "You could really use a
necklace or something."

   I agreed with her and off we went towards Claire's.  The store was about
half the mall away, but we got there eventually.  Inside I looked around
and couldn't believe how much stuff they managed to cram onto the shelves.
There were tons of bracelets, belts, necklaces, earrings and all manner of
other stuff.  Jenny and I were looking over the necklaces when she grabbed
one that was shiny silver with a heart shaped reddish purple heart jewel.

   "I think this one will match your lipstick and nails nicely" Jenny said
as she held the necklace up in front of me.

   "OK, help me put it on so I can take a look."

   I turned around and Jenny brought the necklace above my head and down,
then she worked the clasp and let go.  The necklace dropped into place when
she finished.  I stood in front of one of the many mirrors available and
looked myself over.

   "Yeah, I like this one, it's very pretty," I said to Jenny.  "How much
is it?" I felt Jenny grab at the back of the necklace as she checked the
price.

   "Ten bucks," Jenny stated.  "You want it?"

   "Hell yeah," I answered.

   With that decided Jenny unclasped the necklace and took it to the
counter to pay.  The cashier scanned the tag and Jenny handed her eleven
dollars.  The cashier gave Jenny back a handful of change and we left the
store.  As soon as we were back out into the hallway Jenny fished the
necklace out of the bag, removed the tag and told me to turn around.  I
again complied and moments later the red heart jewel was hanging between my
fake breasts.  Jenny tossed the bag in the nearest trash receptacle and
turned back towards me.

   "Let's go upstairs," she suggested.  "There's an Old Navy right nearby
and they've got some pretty decent clothes on the cheap."

   "Sounds like a plan."

   We walked towards the nearest elevator.  There was a group of people
standing around waiting for it to arrive.  A few moments later the doors
opened and some of the occupants exited leaving two girls inside.  Two
people, both teen guys, entered first, then Jenny and I follow them in. 
Jenny and I stood in the middle of the elevator.  The girls who were
already there were each standing against opposite sides and the two guys
were against the back.  The elevator started to rise and in no time the
doors opened again.  Jenny and I stepped out and all of a sudden I felt
something brush against my ass.  When it started squeezing I knew it was a
hand.  I was getting groped!  I turned towards the guy whose hand it was
and he was wearing this smug smile as he gave my ass one last pinch.  I was
pissed so I flipped him the bird and called him a perv.  All he did was
turn and walk away.  What an asshole!

   When Jenny heard the commotion she turned my way just in time to see him
walking away.  "The fuck was that about?" Jenny asked.

   "The shithead grabbed my ass," I replied as we started walking towards
the Old Navy.

   "Aww, your first groping," Jenny said with a chuckle.  "You'll get used
to it."

   "You...  you mean that shit happens a lot?"

   "Yeah, I get it at least once a week."

   "Damn, guys are assholes," I told Jenny with conviction.

   "Yeah, maybe," she said as we walk into Old Navy.

   "So, what are we gonna get here?"

   "I thought maybe you'd like an outfit of your own.  What do you want to
get?"

   "Definitely a skirt," I answered.  "And some kind of top, too, of
course. And maybe a pair of thigh high stockings if that's cool with you."

   "Yeah," Jenny told me.  "Although I don't know if they have thigh highs
here.  We can check Vicky's when we leave though."

   "Vicky's?"

   "Victoria's Secret," Jenny informed me.  "Lingerie as far as the eye can
see.  You'll love it."

   "I'm sure I will," I laughed as we perused the store looking for
whatever caught our fancy.

   I spotted a skirt so I went to check it out.  It turned out to be a
skort that was pink at the hemline and faded to white as it went up to the
waist.  It was made of cotton and very soft.  I showed it to Jenny and she
gave me a thumbs up.  I tossed it into the basket I grabbed when we walked
in and we headed off to where the tops were kept.  We turned down the aisle
and I immediately saw what I wanted.  It was a short sleeved blouse with
embroidery-like detailing all down the front.  I found one in my size and
tossed it right into the basket without even thinking.

   "Kay, let's pay and bolt," Jenny said as we made our way to the front of
the store.  I placed the items onto the counter in front of the sales girl
and she scanned them.

   "That'll be 32.58 please," the sales girl said with a smile to me.  "I
bet these will look real nice on you."

   "Thanks," I said to her smiling as Jenny handed her a pair of twenties.
Jenny collected her change and we made a bee line for Victoria's Secret.

   Jenny was right, the place was just wall to wall sexy.  A woman in her
mid to late twenties approached us and asked us if we needed anything.

   "We just came in for a pair of stockings," Jenny told her.

   "Right this way," the woman said.  I could tell she was a little
disappointed.  She must have worked on commission.  She showed us what they
had for thigh highs and Jenny grabbed a white pair that had a nice lacy
top. She paid and we left.  I was a little miffed that I didn't get to
choose, but they didn't have much and stockings are stockings I suppose.

   "I'm starving," Jenny said as we walked towards the center of the mall.
"You could go for a bite to eat, right Abby?"

   "Yeah, I'm pretty hungry myself."

   "Food it is!" Jenny proclaimed.

   We reached the elevator in short order and took it to the bottom level
where the food court was.  We wandered around a bit till we settled on mall
Chinese food.  It wasn't great, but it was something.  Jenny bought us each
a plate of General Generic Food Product's Chicken with rice and an egg
roll. She also grabbed us each a can of Coke.  It took a little doing to
find an empty table as it was a Saturday in the middle of summer and it
seemed like everyone was here, but we finally managed it and had a seat on
opposite sides of a four person table.

   Jenny handed me my plate and spoke.  "Now don't wolf that down like a
horse, Abby.  When a girl eats she takes her time."

   "OK, Jenny, I won't."

   We dug into our food and chatted as we ate.  We were just about finished
when I heard someone call Jenny's name.  We both looked toward the voice
and saw two boys about our age looking our way.  Jenny waved them over and
they both sat down at our table, one next to me and the other next to
Jenny.

   "Hi Jake, hi Ryan," Jenny said with a smile.

   "Who's your friend?" the boy seated next to me asked.

   "Ryan, Jake, this is my cousin Abby," Jenny replied.  "Abby, this is
Jake," she motioned towards the boy seated next to me.  "And this is Ryan."
Jake was sort of tall, maybe six feet and had an average build and brown
hair.  Ryan was a little shorter and stockier with jet black hair,
including a beard that was pretty impressive for his age, which I guessed
to be 17.

   "Hi Jake, hi Ryan, pleased to meet you," I said as I greeted them each
in turn and they both say hi to me.

   "So, what are you two up to?" Ryan asked Jenny.

   "Ohh, just did some shopping and grabbed a bite to eat.  You?" Jenny
answered.

   "We were about to go see a movie," Ryan said.  "Say, would the two of
you like to come along?"

   Jenny looked at me "Abby?"

   I must've turned an interesting shade of red because before I could
answer Jenny told the boys I was shy.

   "What do you think, Abby?" Jenny asked.  "Wanna see a movie?"

   "I...  I guess so," I squeaked.

   "It's settled then," Ryan said.  Apparently he was the leader the pair,
as Jake hadn't said much of anything so far.  "What do you girls want to
see?" he asked.

   Jenny and I looked at each other then she turned back to Ryan and said
"No idea.  How about you two?"

   "Well, Pacific Rim is out," Ryan said.

   "Pfft, that looks moronic," Jake pointed out.  "There's got to be
something better out.  How about White House Down?"

   "I'd be down for that," Ryan replied.  "How about you two?  Have any
interest in seeing white House Down?"

   "I'd see that," I said and Jenny nodded her head as she sipped at her
Coke.

   "It's settled then," Jake proclaimed.  "Off to the theater!" Jake stood
and pointed towards the end of the mall where the theater resided in an
overly dramatic way and the four of us started laughing.

   "We'll meet you there," Jenny said.  "Abby and I need to use the
restroom." She grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the closest bathroom.
I looked at her, pleading with my eyes.  I really didn't want to have to
use a girls bathroom.  "You'll be fine," Jenny reassured me.  We walked
into the bathroom and thankfully it was empty.  "Are you really OK with
this?" Jenny asked me.

   "Yeah, I think so," I told her.  "At least neither of those two grabbed
my ass like that last jackass."

   "Jake wants to for sure though," Jenny laughed.

   "Really?"

   "Yeah, I know those two from school and every girlfriend Jake has ever
had has looked a lot like you.  And I definitely saw him making the eyes at
you."

   "I'm not gonna have to...  do...  anything, am I?"

   "Well, no, not really." Jenny said.  "It's completely up to you, but
normally after a boy takes a girl out on a date they'll share a kiss at the
end."

   "DATE?" I just about shouted.  "This is not a date!  It's company at a
movie and that's it.

   Jenny chuckled at me.  "Face it girl, you've been roped into a date."

   I let out a sigh, accepting my fate.  Jenny reached into her purse and
pulled out two lipstick tubes.  She handed me one of them and opened the
other to start applying it to her lips.  I watched as she did so, thinking
about how nice her lips looked, then I turned to the mirror and started
reapplying my own.  When I was done I grabbed a piece of paper towel from
the dispenser, blotted my lips just a touch and looked back into the
mirror. I still looked as good as I did when Jenny just finished my makeup.

   "Come on girl, we don't want to keep the boys waiting, do we?"

   "Oh heaven forbid," I said to Jenny as we both exited the bathroom, her
in front of me.  The boys were waiting for us to the side of the ticket
line.  Ryan handed Jenny a ticket and Jake handed me mine.  "Thank you," I
said demurely.  With tickets in hand Ryan and Jake led Jenny and me towards
the line for the concession stand and asked what we wanted.

   "I'll have a medium coke and some Gummy Bears," Jenny said batting her
eyes at Ryan cutely.

   "How 'bout you?" Jake asked me.

   "Hmm, I guess I'll take a medium Coke too, and can we get some popcorn?"

   "Absolutely," Jake said with a smile.

   A few moments later we were at the head of the line and Ryan ordered his
and Jenny's snacks, then Jake ordered ours after Ryan had paid and left the
counter.  The four of us got in line to have our tickets taken and were on
our way to theater six in just a few moments.  Inside it was nearly empty,
but the movie had been out for a couple of weeks and it wasn't supposed to
start for about fifteen minutes, so I guess it made sense.  Ryan led us to
four seats towards the back of the theater and we sat down, Jenny and me in
the middle with Ryan to Jenny's left and Jake to my right.

   The four of us made use of the extra time well.  Jenny and Ryan caught
each other up on their summers so far and Jake and I got to know each other
better.  I found out that he was 17 and had gotten his license a few months
ago.  He was also on the football team, playing receiver, tight end and
defensive back.  I told him about myself as well, but kept some details to
myself as I hadn't come up with a history for Abby just yet.  I didn't
expect to need one so soon, or at all really.  When the lights dimmed the
four of us turned towards the screen and the previews started. 
Unfortunately only one of them seemed any good.  There was the generic
scary movie trailer, a trailer for some artsy thing and the only OK one was
a comic book movie.

   After the trailers, the lights dimmed further and the movie began.  It
started out fairly slow, but picked up pace after about 20 minutes.  Jenny
and I were snacking and drinking our Cokes happily and Ryan had his arm
around Jenny.  I was glad that Jake had decided to play it slow and had
kept his hands to himself so far.  Clearly that thought had come to me too
soon because about five or ten minutes later I felt his left hand on my
right knee.  I froze.  I didn't know what to do.

   Finally getting a thought in my head I leaned into Jenny's ear and
whispered "He's got his hand on my knee, help!  What should I do?"

   Jenny then put her lips close to my ear and whispered her reply.  "Put
your hand on his and hold it in place.  You don't want that hand finding
its way to your crotch!"

   No kidding, I thought.  Jake's hand had already crept up to my thigh so
I quickly placed my hand over his and held it there.  Jake didn't protest
and just kept his hand on my thigh, for the time being at least.  I focused
my attention back on the movie.  It was just getting good, too.  Explosions
and such abound.  The movie kept me riveted and all too soon it was over.
Lucky for me Jake had kept his hand where I held it throughout.

   After the credits rolled the four of us got up and left the theater. 
Back out in the lobby Jenny told Ryan that we had to get going soon.  Ryan
offered us a ride and since we really had no reason not to we accepted.  We
all went out to the parking lot and Ryan led us to his car, a decent
looking sedan, which thankfully meant there would be room in the rear to
accommodate Jake and me.  Ryan unlocked the door with his remote and he
opened the front passenger seat for Jenny.  She stepped in thanking him and
had a seat.  Jake did the same for me with the driver side back seat door
and I also entered the car.  The boys made their ways around the car, got
in and in no time we were on the road.

   Ryan started towards Jenny's house, but then asked us if we'd like to
stop for coffee somewhere.  Jenny said yeah before I was even consulted,
but I didn't really mind.  I must admit I was enjoying myself and the
attention Jake was paying me felt nice.  Ryan changed course and we were on
our way to a local diner.

   I drew in a deep breath and closed my eyes.  Abby's first day out had
been a long one and it was about to get longer.  I let my breath out in a
sigh and relaxed into the seat.
