Me and my best friend planned a trip to go Texas, to see our favorite artist perform. For the concert, we wanted to go get matching Lululemon outfits, but we could not decide and agree on which color to choose. She wanted to wear the teal and gold sweater and joggers set, while I wanted the beige and gold defined set. We scrolled on Pinterest and Tik Tok for hours trying to find some inspiration. We even went to the Lululemon store to try on some sets, but we still couldn’t make up our minds! Eventually we decided to get on google and use the online spin wheel. We put all of the colors we thought looked best on the wheel, spun it and waited for it to stop. It picked a color, we agreed on it, and we ordered them for our trip.

Answer 1

My best friend Maya and I planned a trip to Texas to see our favorite artist. We were so excited. We talked about the concert every day. We wanted to wear matching outfits so we would feel like a team.

At first Maya wanted a teal and gold sweater and joggers set. I liked a beige and gold defined set. We could not agree. We went to Pinterest and watched TikTok videos for hours. We pinned pictures and saved videos. Our phones were full of outfit ideas.

One Saturday we went to the Lululemon store. The store smelled like clean clothes and new tags. We tried on many sets. The teal looked bright in the mirror. The beige felt soft and warm. We took selfies and called our moms for advice. Even with the clothes on, we still could not decide.

We got tired and sat on a bench by the door. Maya tapped her phone and found an online spin wheel. The wheel had all the colors we liked. We both laughed and thought it was a silly idea. But we were stuck, so we tried it.

We typed in the colors. I held my breath. Maya spun the wheel with her finger. The wheel clicked and spun and spun. The music in the store stopped and everything felt slow. The wheel finally stopped. It landed on teal.

Maya jumped up and clapped. I smiled even though I had wanted beige. It felt good to make a choice together. We ordered the matching teal and gold sets for the concert. The delivery time felt long, but the plan was set.

After we ordered, we started packing in our heads. We picked the rest of our clothes and practiced our concert dance moves. We felt close and happy. Choosing the outfits with the spin wheel became our favorite part of planning. We could not wait for the trip to Texas and the night we would sing along to every song.
