No, she can't wear that!

Traci looked around in a panic but didn't see any other exits other than the one that was right past Kelly. She hurriedly ditched the outfit she was holding and ran past her roommate and exited the store.

Kelly caught up to her, shaking her head in disappointment. “What the hell am I going to do with you?”

“Sorry. But that outfit just isn't me.”

Kelly shrugged. “You know, you would have really turned some heads wearing that, but suit yourself.”

“So, food court?” Traci hoped Kelly would just drop the subject and thankfully it seemed she was willing to do just that.

“Yeah I'm starving. Let's go!”

The girls made their way down to the bustling food court and ordered their lunches. They got lucky and spotted an elderly couple just getting up from their table and rushed over to claim it just before another pair of girls could do the same. Traci did her best to ignore the angry glares being sent their way but Kelly just smiled and waved at the other girls.

They took their time with lunch, talking about their hopes for the upcoming semester. Traci learned that Kelly was looking at becoming a Psych major. That was a scary thought.

“Hey, don’t give me that look.” Kelly took a sip of her diet coke. “I think I could be a really good therapist. I really wanna get inside people’s heads and see what makes them tick. Understanding someone’s pain is the first step to helping them heal, you know.”

“Oh, I see.”

“Plus, it would be really cool to have everyone call me Dr. Wu. Anyway, what about you?”

“Computer science. With a minor in international business studies. Maybe.”

Kelly snorted. “You are such a nerd.”

They finished up then headed back to their dorm.
