I've decided to change the writing style. It just seems better like this. If anyone's reading, please leave comments! :) - Mikayla xx
"WAKE UP! You slug!" shouted Sage.
"Ughhhhh," I muttered. "Nooo."
"GET UP, GET UP!" She continued.
"Saaage. STOP." I groaned.
"We're going shopping!" She shouted.
"Alright I'm up!" I say bouncing off the queen sized bed.
"Hurry and get dressed! I have breakfast on the table."
I quickly put on the clothes I packed yesterday (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=67875115) and saw it was already 11:36 am. I walked into the small kitchen and smelled the most beautiful aroma.
"So what did you make?" I ask Sage.
"French toast!" she replied giddily.
"Why so happy?" I ask.
"Ellie.. You know what day it is right?" she asks with a curious face.
"Saturday?"
"ELLIE! IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY YOU DINGBAT!" She laughed.
I totally forgot. It's May 18th, my birthday. "Oh my god I totally knew that!" I joke.
"Yeah right!" She laughs even more. "Sometimes I worry about you."
Honestly, I had been so swamped with school and cheer I completely forgot. "Which mall are we going to?" I ask.
"Westfield. In San Diego." She replies.
After we finish our breakfast, we slipped our shoes on and headed out the door. We hop into her little car and turn on the stereo. Her new "Take Me Home" CD blasts from the speakers and we both jump. She turns it down a little an we both laugh.
"Damn, you were jamming out," I laugh.
"I WANT YOU TO ROCK ME!" she sings along while I sit and laugh at her. "I WANT YO TO HIT THE PEDAL HEAVY METAL SHOW ME YOU CARE!" Sage sings very off-key.
"I WANT YOU TO ROCK ME! ROCK ME! ROCK ME, YEAH!" I sing with her. The song ends and we both laugh.

We park in one of the parking spaces close to the entrance and get out. I pull out my phone and I have 62 unread messages. Probably all from Facebook friends wishing me a happy birthday. I hit the new message button and compose a message to my mother.
To: Mom
I'm at the Westfield mall with Sage. I forgot it was my birthday! how are the boys?
I press send.
As we walk into the doors, I see my favorite store, American Eagle.
"Are we sticking together or splitting up?" Sage asks.
"Well I'm going into American Eagle. I'll be in there for a while so I don't care what you do."
"Alright I'm going to Hollister. See ya girly. Text me if you need anything alright?"
"Okay."
"Lets meet at the food courts at 3," she suggests.
"Perfect!" I say before skipping into paradise. I seriously love this place. My phone vibrates and I pull it out.
From Mom:
alright baby. the boys are at some college game or something. love you
To Mom:
love you too!
I put my phone back into my pink shorts and go through the clothes. For about half an hour, I just try ridiculous things on and take pictures and send them to Sage. I also buy some jeans and shirts. I walk to the shoes section, and see a cute pair of brown lace up boots and look at the price tag. $69.50 it says. Hmm, I have $85 left, from the money I gained from selling friendship bracelets at the fair that Sage and I made. I think I should wait to buy the shoes and make sure I don't see something I like more.
It's about 1:30 so I walk around a little bit. I see a Wetzel's Pretzels stand and I walk up to it.
"What would you like ma'am?" a cute cashier asks.
"Can I just have a cup of the pretzel bites?" I ask with a smile.
"Here you are. That'll be $4.50" he replies.
"Thanks," I reply.
"Anytime babe," he says with a wink, showing off a toothy smile.
I visit some other stores, and don't see anything I just can't live without, so I walk back to American Eagle and decide to buy the pair of shoes I couldn't keep my eyes off of while I was there earlier. They were just so cute!
Right as I walk in crash into something hard. I fell right on my butt and spilled my pretzel bites everywhere.
"Hey I was planning on eating those!" I laughed and stand up to face a tall guy with sunglasses on and curly brown hair styled beautifully under a beanie.
"I am so sorry," he says in a British accent. "Here, do you want me to buy you more?"
"No I'm alright. I probably shouldn't have gotten any in first first place," I giggle. Accents make me weird. I wish I had an accent.
"I'm sorry, I have to go somewhere. But, um, could you give me your number? I'd love to get to know you," he said. Oh my god. British boy wants my number.
"Yeah, sure," I say. He hands me his phone and I hand him mine.
I type in "Noelle" and give it back to him. When he gives me my phone, it says "Cute guy i met at AE." I laugh and he smiles. As we start walking away, I turn back around towards him.
"Why are you wearing sunglasses in the store?" I ask.
"Umm, I just got my eyes dilated.." he says like it's a question.
"Oh, alright. See ya," I wink.

At 3, I visit the foodcourt and find Sage sitting at a two seated table enjoying a very large amount of frozen yogurt with her shopping bags sitting on the floor by her chair.
"Damn Ruiz, got enough?" I giggle.
"Shut up," she says, and frozen yogurt flies onto the table.
"Ew!" I laugh.
"So did you meet any cute guys?" she asks.
"Actually, yeah. He was walking out of American Eagle and I bumped into him. Literally."
"Nice," she says.
"What about you?"
"I wish!" she laughs.
"Alright well I want to get home today. My mom probably wants to do something for my birthday." I say.
"Let me finish this and we'll go." she says, digging back into her cold yogurt.
