**Kade, Tuesday Morning**

"What are we doing today?" Zara asks me, sitting on the edge of the bed and kicking ehr legs.

"Whatever you want." I respond, pulling my hair back into a ponytail then looking over at her.

"Whatever I want?" She asks, beaming.

"Sure." I shrug, and she giggles weirdly.

I shouldn't have said that. She's gonna say some real stupid shit, now.

"Can we go to the Zoo and kidnap a Panda, then take it home, and teach it how to use a stripping pole?"

"What?" I ask, staring at her in confusion while she just laughs.

"Kidding....kind of." She shrugs. "I wanna get my nails done. Can you take me?" She asks me, and I nod. "Oh, and don't worry. I'm paying." She informs me.

Nah, she isn't. Not if I'm there.

*********

"Dude, Kade." Zara says, and I hum as I turn a corner. "Apparently today my English teacher was flipping out over seniors skipping class, right? And he kept bringing me up and how much I've been ditching school lately. I think he's like obsessed with me or something."

"He is," I grumble. "Fucking pervert."

"Yeah, I know right?" She scoffs. "MG and Zayn both told me that he's been about me every time he sees them, too." She tells me.

I need to have a conversation with him.

We arrive at the Nail Shop she picked out solely based off of the way it looked in the pictures and how nice the ladies look, and we head inside. A small Asian lady greets us, and points Zara to a chair. She turns to me, smiling sweetly. "Next to her." She instructs, and I raise an eyebrow.

"No. I'm just he-"

"Sit in the chair next to her." She cuts me off, her smile sweet yet scarily demanding. I look over at Zara, who is nodding excitedly before letting out a string of cuss words in Spanish and taking the black leather chair next to Zara.

I'm not getting my fucking toes done. Fuck that shit. 

"You have to roll up your pants and take off your socks and shoes." Zara instructs.

"No."

"Come on, Matty. Please." She pouts, and I glare at her before kicking off my shoes. I sit down, removing my socks as well and rolling up my pants. Zara happily scoots back, her pants rolled up to her knees while she places her feet in the water.

"Is this even Sanitary?" I grumble, placing my feet in the water as well.

Better fucking be. 

"Yes. They're super clean." Zara assures me, and I huff. Two ladies sit in front of us, greeting us politely before putting on gloves.

About five minutes into the lady uncomfortably handling my feet and talking to the other lady, Zara lets out a quiet giggle and looks at me. "She says you have really nice feet." She informs me, and the ladies both look at her in surprise before speaking to her in the same language they've been using. She responds, and I slouch in my seat.

This is gonna be really fucking annoying.

"Wow." Zara breathes out happily, looking down at her freshly done nails. "Look how pretty, Kade!" She exclaims showing me her painted nails.

"Mhm." I hum. The lady reads off the total, and Zara bites her lip to hold back her tiny frown while she digs out her card. While she works on digging out her wallet, I swipe my card earning an unimpressed look from her. I just wink, before taking her wrist gently and leading her out. "What do you want for lunch?" I ask her.
