19 Chapter 19 Vista

Elle, Andrew and James went to Vista to buy the school supplies they needed in university after they ate at McDonald's. "You are into branded materials, Elle," James noticed, smiling. "It's durable and long-lasting, James," Elle replied, smiling back at him. "That's Elle!" Andrew butt in, smiling broadly. "Well that's good, I'm into branded too but not that expensive as Elle," James smiled. Elle bought eight King James notebooks, blue and black Pilot Gel pens and Merit yellow pad paper. Andrew chose the simple ones, Merit notebooks and paper, Tombow pens. Cattleya notes and paper, Pilot ballpoint for James. Elle went to the counter, James followed her. Last was Andrew, been busy looking at Calligraphy pen sets. He picked up one set and followed them at the counter. Elle paid the things she bought through her credit card, that her Dad gave to her so she would not bring plenty of cash with her, to avoid hold up. James was at her back, waited to finish her transaction with amazement. "A seventeen year old girl already have a credit card. She's incredibly rich!" James thought to himself. He and Andrew paid in cash. They got out of the bookstore on a Thursday evening and parted ways as usual.

One week remained to complete summer season before university life began. And for that one week, Elle wanted to have alone time at home because she knew she would be busy soon.
