All of our nails were done and mine was the most childish. My nails were a background of pink with a white unicorn in the middle. It also had a bunch of white stars scattered in the background. Mom got her nails done purple and Gemmy got her nails done orange. I didn't mind that I had the most childish nails though, only because for whatever reason it felt really calming to feel young around them.
After we were done showing off our nails and giggling mom took me out to a bench in the middle of the mall. She showed me how to sit down in a dress and I followed how she did it.
Gemmy then pointed out a guy across the hall and said that he was checking me out. I denied any possibility of it and acted like I was repositioning myself to practice sitting in a dress. While I was doing this the guy came over and hit on me. I was speechless and so Gemmy got up and dragged him away from us, where she looked to be yelling at him but I couldn't hear her. When she came back over she said "so...you've got a date tomorrow Lili..."
After she said that I stared her right in the eyes and said, "you did not just give a random stranger my phone number." She looked at me and said "No of course not! I gave him the phone number of someone who fucked me over"
I stared at her in disbelief for a few minutes and then changed the subject to ask "what's next?" "Well," she replied "mom let me get my ears pierced when I turned 12. You are in fact a lot older than 12."
My eyes widened when I realized what she was hinting at and I was nervous but also excited to get my first earrings. Gemmy took me to the place where she got her ears pierced so that I could get the same company to do mine.
When we got there the guy pierced my ears which hurt really bad and I had to choose what pair of earrings I wanted. I had to choose between stud earrings and unicorn earrings in the end because although there were many more I cared most about those two. I considered them both greatly and decided to get the unicorn-themed earrings.
We went into the food court to eat after that to talk. "So will the surgery hurt?" I ask to which mom looks at me and starts rubbing my back while she says "No sweetheart, they will give you Diphenhydramine so that you don't feel a thing." I looked at her and had one more question, "will there be needles?" I ask having a fear of needles. Mom looks at me again and says "there might be but if that scares you I know what we can do."
This confused me as I didn't know what we could possibly do. "wh-what can we do?" she took the last bite of her burger and said "follow me" with a smile. I followed her and so did Gemmy, Gemmy was obviously just as confused as me.
