When we arrive at the shopping center, Arianne and Sanne quickly get out of the car. "Quickly, Amy!" Arriane shouts from the other side of the car. I also get out of the car and follow her. Arriane is walking a few metres in front of me and Sanne is walking beside me. Together we enter the mall.

The building is mainly made out of glass, and it has 4 floors. There are 2 glass elevators with view over the parking lot. You really shouldn't shop here if you are afraid of heights. But on the other hand, there are a lot of stores. If I had to guess, I'd say there are over 50 stores here. "Sooooooo, where do we start?" I ask Sanne. She turns her head towards me, and then points at a large store with a lot of dresses in all sizes you can imagine. "At this store, of course!" Is her answer. I follow her and Arianne as we enter the store; it seems like they have been here before, so I might as well follow them. Arriane stands still to look at a dress, while Sanne and I continue to walk deeper into the store. "Omg! This dress would fit Amy perfectly!" Someone then shouts. I shrimp and see that it's Arriane. She's holding a long, blue dress with a cut at the side, so if you wear it, you see a part of your legs. Then she quickly runs towards me and pushes the clothing into my hand. "Try this on, I'll go find more," she says. Desperately I look at Sanne. ''You should let her do her thing; this is her favorite store, and she always buys her dresses here. Trust me, she won't give you that many dresses. I'll make sure of that. Now go try that on, I bet you will look great in it,'' Sanne says with a smile. I force a smile and walk to the dressing room at the back of the store. The dress is really beautiful, but I'm not sure on what occasion I'm supposed to wear it. Do I wear it at a party or something like that? A gala? Does this pack even celebrate things that are important to them like that? I struggle to put on the dress because of the zipper on the back. For a moment I think about calling for Sanne to help me with the horrible thing, but I decide to try it one more time myself. Then, I grab the zipper and manage to pull it all the way up. Finally the dress is on and I exit the small room I changed in. Sanne and Arianne are already waiting outside the dressing room. They are whispering something to each other until they see me, and for a moment there's just silence. "Amy, looks awesome on you! You have to buy it!" Sanne then says. Arriane claps in her hands and then grabs something; a bunch of other dresses. "Sanne's right,'' She says. ''Look, I brought some more dresses for you. I bet they will fit you just as perfectly as this one." I shake my head. "You're right, they aren't as beautiful as this one, but please try it for me," Arriane begs. I look at Sanne; she's raising her eyebrow and I can see she's impatient to see me in the dresses to see how they look on me. I sigh and walk back into the dressing room with the dresses. This is going to be a long day.

Four and a half hours later we are almost done. My feet hurt from walking and it seems like Arriane can't walk at all, so we decide to have a drink on the terrace. She ran through the shops, searching for nice clothing for me. Now and then I heard her say that I was lucky that Elijah let me use his credit card, and that Adam never lets her use his credit card. Sanne just laughed and took the clothes from her. In the end I had nine bags full of pants, T-shirts, jeans, dresses, skirts, underwear and bras. . "Shall we go home?" I ask the two girls once we all finish our drinks. They nod and get up. We walk to the car and I put the bags in the trunk. When I get in the car, Sanne has already turned the radio on its loudest and we're ready to go back home. Singing along with the songs on the way we leave the mall. I've barely ever been so happy in my whole life.
