Entering a store that looked pretty high-end, Zanna had to try hard not to falsely gag at how similar everything looked. Everything in the store was just another copy of something she'd already seen someone wearing--and she didn't like to wear clothes that other people wore.
But the pants she reminded herself.
The pants were the reason she was here. She needed some new ones, but it didn't look like they sold any here that she would like. So she decided to ask the woman behind the counter.
"Ma'am, do you carry any pants here? More...casual, pants, I mean," she asked, smiling smally so as to be polite.
The woman, looking up, grinned fakely. Putting down the fashion magazine she had been reading, she came out of behind the counter and took Zanna's elbow, leading her to another section of the store.
"Here, we have some nice chocolate trousers that would look fabulous with this sweater right here, and these shoes--they would look p--"
"I just ne--"
"Aha. These are some nice vests right here, would you like to tr--"
"I only want--"
"Ooh. And these shoes. They would look--"
"I JUST WANT SOME PANTS, LADY!"
So, Zanna, after she had exploded, quickly made her way out of the store, eyebrows furrowed. Didn't the woman get it--she was there to look for pants. She didn't want a sweater. She didn't want a vest. She didn't want shoes. SHE JUST WANTED SOME PANTS.
And none of the ones there were even good enough, she thought bitterly, turning to round the corner she stood by. [/size][/color] |

Ophelia was walking backwards again.
It seemed as if she /liked/ bumping into people. Well, she kind of did, since by doing that she got the chance to meet new people.
Odd, I know.
"Well, Ms. Hilton you must be worth a trillion bucks
Get the feelin' that you don’t really give a fuck
Ms. Hilton I like the way you push and glide
Rollerskates on a social butterfly, whoo!"
And like always, she was singing along to a song on her Ipod. She had it in her hand, bumping her head to the rocked out tune. The girl was dressed in her green peacoat, hiding her bright pink T-shirt underneath. Around her neck was a white scarf, matching the white beanie hat she had on her head. Skinny black jeans hugged her legs and black converse on her feet. |

Turning the corner, Zanna ran smack dab into someone. Someone who had been walking backwards. Due to the fact that she was already annoyed, she nearly lashed until she realized who it was and smirked a little bit. It was Ophelia and, though she'd only met her once, she found that the girl was quirky, funny, and spunky--much like Zanna herself.
"Do you always walk around backwards?" she asked, another smirk tugging at her lips as she spoke the teasing words, "Or is today special in some odd way?" [/size][/color] |

Olivia gasped, quickly turning around. She laughed as Zanna smirked, tilting her head to the side in that habitual manner of hers. "Kinda do." she said, nodding her head. "I don't know why though. Helps me meet people." she said, shrugging while smirking.
"How are you?" she asked politely, grinning. |

"I'd expect so. And it probably helps them remember you, considering you're probably one of the only people in New York who walks around backwards ," Zanna added, small laugh slipping from her mouth before she had managed to stop herself from doing so. It probably wasn't nice to have laughed, but she couldn't help it.
"I'm okay, I guess. A little annoyed. Some lady at the store," she said, gesturing in an ambiguous [sp?] manner. "What about you?" [/size][/color] |

She laughed, nodding. "That makes total sense." she said with a grin. "Riiiight.." she said, raising a brow since Zanna had given her little information on what the 'lady' had exactly done. "We all know how ladies at stores can be annoying." she said with a chuckle at her own sarcasm.
"I'm good. Kinda concerned with Oli, but I talk to Anthony and well, not so concerned now." she said, also not giving muhc information on it. |

"Oh yea. I wasn't exactly specific, was I? The saleslady tried to make me buy a whole bunch of ugly clothes when I just wanted to see if they had any more pants," Zanna said, smiling lightly and rolling her eyes. "I should be a little more precise in my speech I guess," she commented more to herself than to Ophelia. She tended to do that--talk to herself even when someone else was around her.
"Oh really? What happened?" she asked. [/size][/color] |

She blinked, rolling her eyes. "That can be /so/ annoying.." she said, giggling. "Ohh.." she started, getting ready to explain it all. "It was.. weird. Like, Ashton's got this girlfriend, right? And like, Oli and him were hanging out the other and like, I don't know how or why, but like, Olivia kissed him. And then like, the girlfriend found out and like, broke up with Ashton. So like, Olivia felt like, really bad about it..." she said quickly, sighing softly when she finished.
Like count : eight. Amazing, huh? |

Zanna smirked. The girl had said like eight times--she'd counted. She felt a little out of the...info-ness, since she had yet to hear that Ashton had gotten a girlfriend, let alone kissed another girl during the time period. Okay. So let another girl kiss him...she figured. "Wow. That's quite a bit of drama. I didn't think I'd missed out that much," she said, shaking her head. "It's surprising how fast things happen."

"I knoooow!" she said, grinning. "It was total drama, I mean, I was surprise I wasn't involved in it." she said cockyly, winking. "Where were you anyways?" she asked, her head tilted to the side. She hadn't seen the girl in days and well, she'd heard no news of her.
She coulnd't help but think of the day when Anthony would finally ask Zanna out. It was fun knowing this, with the girl being clueless about it.
Awh. She wished she was clueless about someone. |

"I was at home. Being sick with the flu," Zanna said, groaning slightly. "I'm usually not the subject of drama; just a bystander. But this time...I was really out of it. I mean...I didn't know that Ash had a girlfriend, let alone shared a kiss with someone who wasn't his girlfriend," she said, shaking her head.
She didn't really like being out of the knowledge on stuff, but she dealt with it well when she was.
"So are you singing at the Battle of the Bands?" she asked, since whatshisname had to leave and Ophelia was their new singer. 'Course, after being gone, she also did not know that Ashton was their part-time singer as well. [/size][/color] |

She scrunched up as the girl mentionned the flu, thinking that was horrible illness and wondered why it existed.
Why did people have to get sick anyways?
She giggled slightly as she shook her head, shrugging. "S'okay. I mean, I was out of it too. I just found out Ashton had a girl when Anthony told after Oli told me she kissed him." she said.
"Ohmigosh! Yes!" she said as the Battle was mentionned. She took the girl's hand for a moment, jumping up and down excitedly. "It's gonna be so cool! I get to sing four songs and Ashton's sings four too!" she explained, "I don't know what I'm singing though.. I haven't thought about it yet."
"What would you pick?" |

"Well for myself, I would choose not to sing...but that's because I suck. But if I were to choose songs for you...um...I dunno. I like Back to the Middle by the Pink Spiders. Um. Camisado by Panic!. The Phrase That Pays. And if you can scream, Kill Caustic," Zanna said, nodding her head.
[[Blahh. Short. Sowwy.]] [/size][/color] |

"I don't scream so much.." she said in quiet voice, shaking her head. "But I'll think about you songs!" she said, smiling. "So.. Pants, huh?" she commented, nodding as if she was thinking about them.
"Maybe I can help you. I'll keep the annnoying sale ladies away!" she said, clapping her hands excitedly. "Like a bodyguard! Or.. A ninja!"
What was it with hyper people and ninjas? |

Zanna smiled widely.
"I'm secretly a ninja!" she exclaimed, then shook her head at herself.
"Well I guess it's not really a secret anymore, since I just shouted it sort of loud in the middle of a crowded sidewalk...but I really am one," she said, smiling again and tapping her feet excitedly against the concrete beneath. "Do you know where they sell good pants? Like...pants that I would like?" [/size][/color] |
