Tiffany Sanders was she behind all of this? No, she couldn’t be; there was only one way to find out, and that was to go and meet Tiff at a shop that no longer exists.
Maybe she had just heard this curly-haired girl but here she was wasting time. She should be trying to work out how she had gotten to the mall from her own sitting room. Why hadn’t Jon and that strange woman that was with him stopped them from taking her. Wait was her brother in on this as well. Nah that loser would never do something like this especially if he knew what was good for him.
What seemed to Zoe around ten minutes later, the two of them turned a corner, and Zoe could see a shopfront of what appeared to be a dELiAs. That wasn’t possible. The shop had stopped trading a while back. This was no clearance outlet; this branch of dELiAs was open and was doing a roaring trade if the number of teenagers going in and out of the store was anything to go by.
“Beth! Zoe! Over here!” A voice shouted.
The voice seemed to be coming from a young woman standing outside the store. She had light brown hair styled in soft waves that framed her face and smile that showed far too many teeth for Zoe’s liking. She was looking at them.
“Beth! Zoe! Over here!” She shouted.
As Zoe and the curly-haired girl, who Zoe assumed was this Beth that this girl was shouting for, Zoe continued to assess this girl who was doing the shouting. Her skin tone was fair, and her cheekbones were so prominent that she could have used them to cut glass if she wanted to. She is wearing light makeup and had on a white, short-sleeved crop top with a V-neckline. The top features intricate lace or embroidered details, white, short-sleeved crop top with a V-neckline. The top features intricate lace or embroidered details and a pair of High-waisted, loose-fitting trousers in a soft lavender. The wide, light green belt with a golden, circular buckle was a strange choice, Zoe thought.
Beth, yeah, that was the curly-haired girl’s name must know this girl, judging by the big smile that had appeared on her face.
“Hey, Tiff, there you are,” Beth said as she got closer. ”It took a bit of time to find Zoe and then find you.” Beth told her friend.
Wait, Tiff, that was not Tiffany Sanders. Whatever was going on just got stranger, she thought.
“Finally! I've been dying to see the new arrivals. I heard they got in a ton of those new platform sandals! Tiff said with a megawatt smile on her face gesturing to the store, practically vibrating with excitement.
“Yeah, let's,” Beth said
“You ok, Zoe? You look a little different. If you don’t want to do this, we can always do something else?” Tiff asked her.
Zoe once again thought of Athena’s advice and replied. “I’m fine, Tiff. Let's go inside.” Hoping that her true feelings were not showing on her face.
"Okay if you say so, Zoe. Just checking! Let's hit it, ladies!" She grabbed both Beth and Zoe by the arm, already practically dragging them towards the entrance.
