I ate the heart. Then, it stopped beating.

h, that outfit is so, like, cute!" I said.

"Uh-huh," Cassie agreed with absolutely no enthusiasm whatsoever.

Cassie is my best friend in the whole world. But she is totally not into
clothing or shopping. I mean, I love her, but the girl dresses like
someone who should be wearing a tool belt and saying, "Like, can I fix
your leaky faucet or whatever?"

Me, I love shopping. I have a talent for it. You know the way Mozart
could write music, or Shakespeare could write words? Or the way Will
Smith can be all cute? That's how it is with me and shopping.

23 I had already worked out a plan: the sale at Abercrombie and Fitch, a
quick stop at Lady Foot Locker, take the right turn to the department
store where they were having a twenty-percent-off sale, swing back past
Body Shop, The Limited, and finally top it all off with an Aunt Annie's
soft pretzel, no butter but lots of salt.

I'd already figured out what to say to Tobias to apologize. I had an
obligation to Tobias, I realized. Yes, an obligation. But shopping was
more fun than obligation.

"One third off!" I squealed with delight. "Oh! Do they have my size? It
would be so, so cool if they had my size and all. That would be the best!"

"Yeah, that would be right up there with a cure for cancer," Cassie teased.

"You should get one in your size!" I said. "Only, we couldn't ever wear
them on the same day, so, like, we'd have to always call each other the
night before and check with the other person. And then, if you wanted to
wear it, well, if I didn't want to wear it, then okay. Only what if I
wanted to wear it the next day? Then it would be like, 'Hey, everyone,
Rachel's wearing what Cassie wore yesterday.' So -"

"Rachel?"

"Yes?"

24 "Are you okay?"
