Abigail 'Medusa' Krueger<br/><strong>Location</strong>: "The Cardinal Exchange" - Salem Center<br/><strong>Date/Time</strong>: September 1st, 2017<br/><strong>Content</strong>:  Hanging out and getting to know the town.<br/><strong>Tagging</strong>:  Closed, Heather<br/><hr/><hr/><br/>It had only been a week since Abigail had been shipped off to the school.  A week since she'd just barely avoided a lifetime in a small cell with bandages over her eyes to ensure that she couldn't paralyze anyone and a bag over her head to ensure that she couldn't do much with her hair as a weapon.  She supposed that she did owe Xavier for getting her out of that fate, which was why she hadn't run away the very first night that she could.  Well, that and she had actually made fast friends with a few of the other girls at the school.  It was funny, at least to Abi, that she had managed that since she was used to being a bit of a loner on the streets.  Well, aside from her boyfriend, but he had been taken a year ago and she hadn't seen him since and had given up hope of ever seeing him again.  Once he'd been gone, she had drifted off onto her own, barely even looking over the street kids that they had basically gathered to themselves.  And then she'd gotten arrested and was likely to spend her life in that cell.  But yet a week later, she was out and about, getting ready to go shopping with Heather.<br/><br/>Looking over at the other girl, she smiled.  Heather simply oozed sex appeal despite her young age.  And she knew it too, which only made it more fun to watch.  They had clicked almost instantly, which still sort of surprised Abi, but since the first day she'd arrived at the school, the two of them had become almost inseparable and Abi actually found herself enjoying the closeness.  And apparently Heather had as well since she had invited Abi to go shopping with her.  And since Abi was in desperate need of new clothing since she only had a few very worn and faded outfits, she was more than eager to come along.  She had decided to wear a pair of simple black shorts that hugged her ass tight and were surprisingly easy to remove when she had to try something on.  And up top, she wore a simple white tee-shirt that had seen better days and allowed anyone who looked to clearly see her black bra underneath it.  Not that she cared if people stared at them.<br/><br/>Following Heather into the second-hand store, she immediately smiled.  She liked places like this.  They had good clothing at a fraction of the cost of new and for someone on a very limited budget like her, that was perfect.  Plus it was a bit off the beaten path, which meant that there weren't a lot of people.  Staying near Heather, she started to look at clothes too, finding a couple cute tank tops that would fit her just about right and a pair of skinny jeans with a small hole right before the left buttcheek, which she liked for some reason.<strong>"You weren't kidding Heather, they have a lot of good stuff here,"</strong>she said as she piled clothing over her arm,<strong>"And at these prices, I can actually afford some of it.  Thanks for bringing me."</strong>She flashed a bright white smile at her friend as she picked a few more pieces of clothing, mostly some pants and leggings that she liked before she noticed the new couple that had walked in.<br/><br/>She couldn't help but look at them for a moment.  They were clearly at that early stage of romance where they were in love, but didn't know each other well enough to really know what the other was comfortable with.  It was endearing in a way and highly annoying in another.  Endearing because it was cute and innocent and fun to watch as they tried to find that balance between them.  Annoying because she knew it wouldn't last.  Sooner or later, they would get on one another's nerves and they'd end up splitting up and all they'd have was memories.  The only thing that made it worse was if they actually stayed together.  For some reason, she hated seeing others happy.  Actually, she knew the reason.  It was because she had been happy and that happiness had been taken away from her.  Ripped away by a world that couldn't understand mutants and wanted to treat them like science projects rather than people.  She was sure the reason she hadn't seen him again was because he was in some lab somewhere, being treated like an experiment.<br/><br/>Shaking her head, she tried to put that out of her mind as she grabbed a couple more pairs of jeans before determining that she had more than enough to try on.  Looking at Heather, she saw a similar pile in her arms and smiled.<strong>"I think we have enough to start, don't you?"</strong>she said with a smile,<strong>"Let's head back and start trying some of this stuff on.  I'm actually a little worried that all that food at the school will make these not fit right."</strong>It was true.  She hadn't eaten as well as she had in the last week.  Abi was a bit worried that she would put on some weight, not that that would be a bad thing since she was extremely skinny almost to the point that her ribs would show when she was topless.  So maybe putting on a few pounds would be a good thing, she mused.  Just not too much or she might have to actually start working out.  Or maybe she should just go ahead and do that anyway just to be sure.  That was worth some thought.<br/><br/>Once they got to the back of the store, another thought hit her.  And that was that there was only one changing room.  That was a minor annoyance as it would take twice as long, maybe even more so, for them to change into outfits, show them to the other, and then do it again.  And then have the other girl go.  And they only had a small amount of time and more stores to get to.  She thought about it for a moment before she got a mischievous smile on her face as she looked over at Heather.<strong>"I think there might be just enough room in there for the both of us if we're willing to get a little close,"</strong>she said,<strong>"And it would certainly save us some time.  What do you say?"</strong>Abi, for one, was entirely comfortable with that idea.  She didn't mind if Heather saw her in her bra and panties or even in less if she was honest.  Modesty was not something she had time for most of the time and today was shaping up to be like that as well.
