Chapter II: Present Hunting
Well today is Saturday, and we have to go shopping for the next Christmas meal and our gifts for each other. Susie told me that she was going to help find a gift for Shadow. But now that I think about Shadow is hiding something from me. I don't what but the two days before Shadow was talking about something with dad; I'm not sure what it was but I kept on replaying that image in my head over and over. Oh yeah, right before we went to the mall, mom asked dad, if he and Shadow wanted to come, but than he said that he and Shadow were busy today. I began to ask myself the question "What were they hiding?".  I wanted to worry about it later because I had enough problems on my hands, like trying to get Shadow a present was the first thing I wanted to worry about. Here's how we do things at the mall, mom would tell us that we were free to buy something for one of us or our or friends (as long as it wasn't too expensive), and we would rendezvous at where we came in.

Usually I would go with Shadow to buy a gift, but this year Susie was going to help me buy a gift. We first started at a bookstore since Shadow was into reading (Especially Mystery Novels). Susie and I looked for the perfect book for him to read. Susie looked on the top shelf and I looked at the bottom shelf. Of course Susie was an expert on books since she liked to read too (Especially Romance Novels; I know Shadow and Susie have so much in common, it surprises me). Susie said that none of the books that they had there weren't good for Shadow's taste. So we left the bookstore and went to look at other stores. The next store we went to look at was an antique store. There were all kinds of things there; there were clocks, old toys, statues, and even jewelry. Susie told me it was the perfect place to look since some of jewelry was actually charms. I started to look around and all of the charms were so pretty that I couldn't decide what to get.


The antique store was actually a lot bigger than I expected, and there were some many things in that store even I didn't know some of the objects in that place, they were all new to me. Susie was able to recognize some of the strange objects inside the store. You know it's picking out a present was a lot harder than it looks; honestly it is a lot harder than it looks. It felt like hours we were inside that store looking for a gift for Shadow. I was about to give up when Susie spotted a gift that was perfect for him. "Hey Sakura!" She called "I think I found him the perfect!" I ran over to Susie to see what she had found, it was a necklace. The necklace was beautiful; it was a gold circle with a silver outline to it. In the middle of it there was a red pearl and other pearls were surrounding it.

There were five different colors; there was black, white, blue like the ocean, one pearl looked like the sun, and there was another color I have never seen before. It looked like there was a golden color mixed with a silver color. "What kind of charm is it?" I asked, "Well from what I asked from the woman at the clerk, she said this kind of charm can do all kinds of things based on who the person is." Susie told me. My eyes widen when she had said that. "You mean this charm can help Shadow with his problems?" I asked Susie. She looked at me and smiled. "It sounds like it." She said

"We have enough for it, and we can both use the money from our allowance."
"Really?"
"Yep. It's just enough."

I took the necklace from where it was hanging and it was actually a little heavier than I expected it to be. Before we went to the clerk to buy the necklace I noticed something different about the pearls surrounding the middle pearl. I could've sworn that the silver mixed with a golden sliver turn into a different color. It's strange though.... It had just changed from sliver gold, to white.
Again srry for the chapter being so short, but I can't really think straight with all this stuff going like, I have to write two essays in my Global and English class, man that sucks X(.

Chapter 2 so I hope u like it.
