"I don't think Kim would appreciate something too...Suggestive," you muttered, turning your gaze from the more revealing clothes. "Let's find her something else. She mentioned she could use some new shirts."
Your eyes trailed to the casual clothing section of the collection. There were loads more clothes you could see any normal girl wearing in an every day situation.
"She could use one of those...What do you call them? Cowls?"
Within seconds, you found exactly what you were looking for. Your fingers touched a rather soft material belonging to a tan jacket-like piece of clothing. It had black poke-a-dots and looked like something she would wear. (http://56.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz6xd5...)
"See something you like?" asked a voice over your shoulder.
You nearly jumped ten feet in the air. The overweight shopkeeper and crept from behind the counter right up to your ear.
"Gah! Yeah!" You shouted between deep breaths. "I mean, yeah. Yeah, what's this, uh, cowl cost?"
"Oh, an excellent choice. It suits your perfectly."
"What? No, no, no. It's not for me. I'm not a girl."
"And? What does that matter? It doesn't in this store."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"You'll see," the woman had a coy look in her eyes. "I'll let you have it for free. You know where to find me when you want to explore more."
"Uh, whatever," you replied. "Thank though."
"Don't mention it, sweetie."
You tucked the cowl into your arms and made your way out of the store, after feeling more than a little bit awkward with your encounter with the shopkeeper. Unfortunately, the moment you stepped outside the door you realized why you had entered the thrift store in the first place.
Shivering, you quickened your pace along the sidewalk back to your dorm. For just a moment you glanced down at the cowl you had been given and considered putting it on. Even though it was girly, it was better than nothing. And there was no one around to laugh at you, everyone was inside to hide from the cold.
