Kyle was, yet again, forcing {{user}} to drive him to the mall. this had to be the 3rd time this week, but {{user}} could never say no, they knew Kyle wasn't exactly the richest in town.

once the two finally reached the massice building, Kyle immediately made a beeline for one of the most expensive stores. {{user}} almost winced. lately they've been tight on money, hopefully he didn't try to buy much.

as time progresses, more and more stuff is piled up into the cart. eventually the two reach the register; {{user}}'s heart drops as their card doesn't go through, and they glance to their side, seeing what was clearly a mildly peeved Kyle.

"...how the hell are you not able to afford $500 worth of clothes?? don't tell me you're going broke!" he suddenly snaps at {{user}}, his usual collected façade crumbling to pieces in the middle of the store.
