Assessing the heel , a sigh of
Defeat rolls past painted lips .
Of course it had to be wobbly ,
Back to the drawing board she
Goes .
Setting them back on the shelf ,
She moves father down the line .
Just hoping to find a good pair .
“high heels? it's heartbreaking when those die on you, even more in the middle of the street.” she's checking the shoes as well, why not?
for now, nothing catches her attention besides a few silver rings.
Pushing through the door , the smell
Of the shop hits her like a brick ; it’s
Very homely . . It’s like an old friends
Embrace .
Looking around , the shoe rack
Immediately catches her eyes .
“ probably a new pair of heels .
My last set broke . “
While she was walking
“ouuu, what kind?” she's seemingly organized when it comes to thrifty visits. boots take them to the nearest shop and she stops on her tracks.
the door is heavy, and the young woman struggles just a little bit to open it before walking in alongside mary.
Oh ? Right now ? Well she can’t
Say now she can’t say no . Keeping
A steady stride –—— she follows
Close beside her .
Many thoughts run around her
Cranium before she comes to
A conclusion .
“ shoes probably . “
“that's wonderful, then let's go!”
she begins to walk down the street, excitement spilling through her pores like body glitter.
“hmm. I think I'm gonna check for skirts and accessories today, what about you?”
“ I’m visiting , got some family
Out here . But for as long as
I’m here ? We have time to thrift together
Together . “
By family , she meant one
Of her many older brothers ,
His birthday was coming up . .
And she couldn’t miss that .
“oh! you're the best, thank you~” she quickly added the number to her phone, even sending a message for the other to save her contact.
“you're from around here? this city is *so big you can get past people and see them again and just... not remember.”
At the sign of the promise , she
Interlocks their pinkies ; a promise
She would keep , she not one to
Break them .
“ promise .”
Tugging on her sleeves , she
Eventually reaches into her
Pocket . Writing down her
Number she passes it to
The other .
“I can tell you where the gems are as long as you don't tell anybody else~”
she offers her pinky. eyes fixed on the brunette and the comfortable interaction they seem to be having. at least that's what cherry believes.
“promise?”
She can’t remember the last time ,
She got to thrift —— it had been
Too long . It was something she
Used to do regularly .
“ I’d kill to go thrifting again . “
It was something she used to do
With her boyfriend , but recently
Things have gotten to the point where
Where
“ Mariana , but you can call
Me Mary . And yeah ! Like
30 bucks for them . “
She straightens out her
Zebra top , taking in the
Others appearance .
“ you look gorgeous too . “
“what?! love! they suit you so well, the whole outfit is beautiful though.”
she nods, taking in the whole get up the brunette had on. she offers her hand. “I'm cherry, by the way~.”
She can’t help the smile ,
That tugs at the corner of
Her lips .
“ would you believe me
If I said hot topic ? “
She clicked the heels , before
Doing a little spin .
