Bras, and Boys and Crushes Oh My
"I don't like this." Cathy huffed with her arms crossed and Anne shook her head in horror.
"You think I'm enjoying this do you?" She grumbled crossing her arms over her chest as they followed their mums around the bra store discreetly as possible. They were both highly against this trip, but their mums had insisted it was necessary. It didn't help that Anna had laughed to the point where she was practically wheezing then mockingly wished them luck when Catherine told them where they were going and asked the fourteen-year-old to watch Kitty while they were gone.
"Come on lamb chop, look this one has ninja turtles. " Jane enthused, quite loudly as she held up a green training bra and Anne's face heated up in embarrassment.
"Mum! Keep your voice down!" Anne hissed ducking behind an underwear display. Jane rolled her eyes at her oldest's antics, Cathy dived down with her as they avoided their parents.
"So you don't want it then?" Jane teased and Anne huffed.
"Well of course I do, it's bloody awesome, but don't call me that!" Anne hissed still crouched behind the display.
"But you've always been my little lambchop," Jane cooed teasingly, but also slightly upset because her little Anne was growing up.
"Not in public mum, it's too embarrassing!" Anne snapped standing up, as she glanced around, realizing it was mostly old people in the store anyway. Cathy nodded her agreement still hidden behind the display as her mama grabbed her arm and pulled her up.
"Cathy honestly you act as if we're stabbing you or something." She chastised as she reached for a bra to hold up to her youngest. Cathy swatted it away and jumped behind Anne.
"I'd rather be stabbed!" Cathy complained, being the reserved, shy girl she was this was like torture to her.
"Hey! I'm not your human shield!" Anne complained trying to move from in front of Cathy. However, Cathy was always two steps behind her.
"Alright at least try one on and then you can be done-" Catharine Aragon didn't even finish her sentence, Cathy had grabbed the bra out of her mama's hands and ran for the nearest changing room.
"Mum look I'm a mouse!" Anne snickered putting a large bra on her head. Jane groaned shaking her head as she snatched the item from her daughter's head and shoved the ninja turtles bra into her hands.
"Honestly you, go try this on, trouble." She whispered crossing her arms as Anne giggled merrily as she skipped to a changing room.
" And she thinks I'm embarrassing!" Jane huffed making Catherine chuckle softly as they walked towards the changing rooms.
"This frozen yogurt made this worth it!" Anne hummed happily scooping the treat into her mouth. Cathy was pouting into her cup watching it melt as she listened to her mama talking with Jane one table over.
"I don't think so." She grumbled and Anne giggled at Cathy's pout.
"Hey look who it is?" Anne whispered but Cathy just grunted in disinterest as she stirred her yogurt. Anne nudged her shoulder " so wanna go scare Henry in front of his cool friends?" Anne whispered and Cathy looked up sharply and followed Anne's gaze out the window to the frozen yogurt place and saw him across the walkway of the mall. She hadn't seen him since he was ten, and she'd beat him into a bloody pulp, but there he was in all his fifteen-year-old glory, leaning against the wall to some clothing shop, wearing a leather jacket and his hair was cut short, though he still looked pudgy and stupid to her, just as he had when he was that ten-year-old bully.
"I'd rather not make my mood worse by having to deal with him, Anne." She mumbled bitterly as she stabbed her yogurt with her spoon somewhat aggressively.
"Okay...so wanna go to the bookstore? It always makes you feel better?" Anne whispered kindly, knowing that her friend was too upset for anymore teasing.
"Really?" Cathy whispered softly looking up into Anne's green eyes and Anne smiled making those eyes Cathy adored sparkle with sincerity.
"Of course I'll go convince the mums right now! Be right back!!" She promised jumping up loudly as she rushed towards her mum nearly knocking her chair over in the process. Cathy watched her go, something fluttered through her at the sweet gesture, as she slowly took a bite of her now mushy yogurt feeling her face flush, but she wasn't embarrassed or anything so what could it be?
" Hey Cathy! We can go!" Anne exclaimed brightly as she skipped back to her and pulled her up from her chair intertwining their hands as she tugged her for their door. "Come on, come on Cathy let's go, let's go."
Did she have a c-crush on Anne?No...definitely not, she just appreciates her is all.
