Normal Til' Now

Chapter 3 ~ Shopping

I woke up early in the morning and checked my phone for any notifications. I saw that Jessica had sent me a message.

Hey Anna, how'd you find the trip? Did you get sick on the plane? Have you made any friends! Tell me all of it!!

Hi Jessica! The flight was ok and I thankfully didn't get sick. When my mom and I got to the house, I went to the library and read Twilight. YES, THERE'S A LIBRARY IN THE HOUSE!! I also went to the supermarket, but that's about it.

Have you had any interactions with anyone yet?

Actually, I was walking out of the Supermarket and I bumped into this dude. I quickly walked away, but he told me to watch where I'm going next time even though he wasn't watching either!

Ooo, was he attractive?

JESSICA! Did you not see what I wrote! He was rude towards me. To answer your question, I don't know. I didn't take notice of his features. NOW BYE!

See ya, girl.

I put down my phone and walked to the bathroom. There, I brushed my teeth and washed my face. I also brushed my hair and straightened it. I walked back out to my suitcase and found clothes to wear. Since it's pretty hot outside I changed into white denim shorts and an off-the-shoulder pink crop top. I slipper on my checkered vans and walk out of my bedroom.

Mom was already downstairs making breakfast when I appeared in the dining room. I sat down and waited for breakfast to be done. In that time, I texted Jessica again. I told her what I was doing today. We also went on call for a few minutes but I ended it when I saw Mom enter the room with a stack of pancakes, a plate of scrambled eggs, some toast and syrup. I texted Jessica and told her why I ended the call and once she replied, I started to eat my breakfast. "What are you going to buy in the mall?" Mom asked. "Home decor, home decor, and oh wait have I already mentioned home decor," I replied. She laughed which made me laugh too. "Yeah, we definitely need those, but I'm also going for clothes." She told me. I nodded. My mom loves clothes. If she could buy all the clothes shops in the world, she would.

I finished my breakfast and headed to my room to grab my purse and my book. I carry books everywhere with me. You never know when you're going to need one. Twenty minutes later, Mom came down the stairs. She grabbed her keys, and we went out the door. Once we got in the car, she typed in the location we were headed to and turned on the car.

We pulled into one of the parking spaces in front of the mall. I got out of the car and told Mom that I'd call her once I was finished shopping. Walking into the mall, I saw my favourite shop.

Starbucks.

I walked in and waited in line until it was my turn to order. "Ciao, cosa vorresti ordinare?" The lady at the cashier asked me. I would imagine she a skier me what I wanted but in Italian. I tried to tell her what I would like to order, but she shook her head.  Quickly, I got out my phone and typed on google translate what I wanted in English, and it got converted into Italian.
