cool shoes i know but they're white and my team

just decided to get black shoes this year

right here great let's go

let's go exchange my shoes first then we can shop wherever you want

okay so you don't want to do any shopping no i can look at clothes with

you or whatever you want but then can we go to the ice rink

sure let's go to the food court first and get

a drink okay then we can talk about guys

what that's what you're sad about right well

never mind we'll talk when we get our drinks

so how are things going with men

other but it's getting better
