Sam's POV

I dragged my overly tired brother with me over the mall, school started in a week and I needed to get extra clothes. All the while he complained of being tired, not even coffee helped and 'Why did you drag me with you.' I "dragged" him with me because he needed clothes too, whether he liked it or not, he needed "boyfriend material" kind of outfits so Chars family liked him. I'm happy for him to finally fess up that he likes her as more than a friend. Who knows, with Char I know she loves Patrick unconditionally. Patrick though needs to relax, there's no pressure whatsoever with Charlotte.

"Why are we in Hot Topic Sam?" Patrick moans out again, his coffee cup still a brim with fresh black coffee.

"Because we are going to buy some graphic shirts for school and pick out a couple button up shirts for you."

"I already have plenty at home."

"Ah ah ah dear brother, these have graphics on them that'll make a certain young lady we know swoon." I dramatically "swooned" over some shirts.

"She doesn't care Sam." He says while taking a huge interest in a black and red plaid button up with the RHPS logo on the front pocket.

"I know that, and that's a reason that makes her awesome. But it also shows character, you wouldn't want her family to think you're just another plain guy, right?" I grab a couple graphic plaid shirts, a Hufflepuff plaid shirt and a plain black and red striped one.

"You sure about this?" He asked looking over the shirts.

"Pretty sure, she and her family will like them." I placed the shirts over my arm and started to look over the girl's graphic shirts. I noticed a girl next to the Anime rack, she had rainbow hair tied up in a high ponytail, corset dress, looking down on her phone. She looked up and was stunned for a moment then, she smiled brightly.

"Hey Sam!" She exclaimed. I pulled her in a huge hug.

"What are you doing here?" I smile more, wow she really looks different. Amazing though.

"Getting my twin brother some shirts, he's just trying them on. I already bought my shirts, dresses and skirts. Plus, some special girly things," she winks at me, "Your brother will enjoy a-lot. What about you? You never venture in here without Alice or Mary-Elizabeth." She looks around to see if they're here.

"I'm here with Patrick, just getting him shirts and me some new graphics. I thought you already had everything for school."

"I convinced my dad to get me a phone, it's on a contract though plus my brother got one too so win, win." She rolls her eyes, "Plus get some things extra, don't know if I'll grow more this year."

"Maybe you will," I notice Patrick talking to a guy who's very cute looking. Char looks behind her and laughs.

"That'll be Charlie, is he really getting advice from my would-be boyfriend." She jokes. It kind of hurts my heart, I honestly see them as a couple. If Patrick just let his anxieties go, maybe they can be.

"Patrick, quit flirting with my brother!" She shouts. Patrick looks up and blushes, Charlie smiles and waves at her. She takes my hand and drags me back to Patrick.

"Sam, meet my twin brother Charlie. Charlie, this is my best female friend Sam." After that she drags Patrick away. Well isn't this awkward.

"It's nice to meet you. Charlottes told me lots of things about you." I tell him.

"I've heard nice things about you." He says shyly. He is too sweet, I kind of feel a little awkward, he seems to feel it too. I look at his graphic shirt and scoff a little.

"Something wrong?" He asks.

"I don't think this shirt suites you. But, maybe," I reach and grab a few Death Cab for Cuties t-shirts, "These will suite you better. Go ahead try them on." I push him gently back to the change rooms. I look around and I see Patrick brushing Charlottes hair back and she smiles broadly. Slow and easy. I hear the door open and look to see Charlie come out in one of the DCfC shirts.

"Well?" He asks shyly.

"I think that shirt looks great on you, but maybe for parties." I shrug. What do I know about style really. He smiles though and goes back in the room. Maybe I should ask Char if he can come to the party on Saturday night. He comes back out in a powder blue button up shirt and dark jeans. Now he looks really, adorable.

"I think I'll buy a few shirts," He holds up the DCfC shirt and a couple other band shirts, "Did you want to grab lunch with Charlotte and me? I would like to get to know her friends a little more before school starts." He asks. I smile a little.

"Sure. Not like Patrick and I have anything better to do." He smiles more and goes to pay for his stuff. I call Patrick over and he looks reluctant to leave Char's side.

"What is it?" I throw his shirts at him and he looks shocked.

"Pay for your stuff, we're having lunch with Charlie and Char." I roll my eyes playfully at him. He gets behind Charlie to pay and they strike up a conversation. I slink over to Char, who I'm guessing, is trying to download some songs on her new phone.

"What songs you need?" I ask. She jumps a little.

"Just getting some David Bowie songs. I saw a couple vinyls of his work from the seventies. Maybe get some more eighties and some grudge later at home."

"Want to come over to my house after lunch? Patrick and I can download some on your phone." I offer a smile. She smiles back and then shifts to worry.

"Sure, just need to buy a memory card for extra space. It shouldn't be an issue." She bites her lip and shrugs.

"Are you worried about your date with my brother?" I ask. She exhales and her body sags.

"I should be excited you know. My first date, it's going to be weird. Because I'll have the irritating thought that he might want to go back to Brad" I smile with sympathy.

"He won't Char, he likes you a lot. Patrick is nervous about the date, probably more so than you." I shrug. She smiles and hugs me again.
