"Zach! Me and Lucas are ready! So hurry your ass up!" Lucas was on his phone texting his girlfriend I was pretty sure. "Hey Mario, my girlfriend is gonna be at the mall with her friends can we go meet them while we're there?" I nod my head and he puts a little smile on his face then goes right back to texting. I was growing impatient so I went upstairs to Zach's room. I open the door and see him standing in front of his body length mirror staring at his dick which was sticking out of his pants. I quickly take out my phone and snap a picture of him while laughing. "Mario! Delete that!" "Hell no! You've been up here for half an hour staring at your dick!" "I mean dude come on! Doesn't it look a little off to the side?" I roll my eyes and put my phone in my back pocket. "I'm not rating your dick. Now shove it back in your pants and come on." He groans and I walk back downstairs. "Lucas you want a photo of Zach's lopsided dick?" His attention shoots up to me. "Hell yeah!" I smile and send the photo to his phone and see Zach come down the stairs. "Finally" Lucas says and puts his phone up. "Oh shut up." Lucas glares at him. "Me shut up? You were the one looking at your limped dick in the mirror!" I groan and grab the car keys. "Both of you shut the fuck up and get in the car."

They both walk outside while still arguing with each other. I walk out behind them and lock the door behind me. I get in the drivers seat and plug in the keys, starting up the car. The continued bickering all until we got to the mall. When we went inside Lucas stopped bickering with Zach and started texting his girlfriend again. "They say that they're on the third floor." Zach looks confused. "Who?" "My girlfriend and her friends." "Why do you guys keep me out on everything? I never knew we were meeting your girlfriend." "Yeah because you were too busy staring at your penis." I snicker and we walk to the elevator and go up to the third floor.

"She says that they're at CatherineMalandrino next to bodycology." "Yuck, girlie stores." Lucas glares at him and I smack him on his head. "Ow!" I pat his head slightly. "Just learn when to shut up." He rubs his head as we head over to the CatherineMalandrino. Lucas runs up to a girl who was wearing ripped jeans with stocking underneath with a crop top and a beige cardigan on. He lifted her up and kissed her and I see Zach shiver with a disgusted look on his face. I roll my eyes and shes her two friends standing behind her. One with dark black hair and her shirt tucked him to her pants loosely while she was also wearing ripped jeans with no stockings underneath.

I look over to the other girls and see Lorianne, carrying all of the bags? She looks exhausted. I walk over to her and grab the bags from one of her arms. And she sighs relived. And takes half from her other hand and places them on the one I just took from. I shake my head and take all of the bags from her and she looks up at me and smiles. The bags felt like nothing to me so I just stood next to Lorianne and waited for Lucas to finish kissing and hugging his girlfriend. I leaned into Lorianne's ear and whispered. "How long have they not seen each other for?" She shrugs her shoulders and stares at me.

I stare back. And look into her beautiful light brown eyes and smile at her. "What's her name actually?" She pulls out her phone and starts typing, I receive a message and pull out my phone reading it. "Mary-Ann. That's nice." She nods and sighs. I see the other girl walk next to Mary-Ann and tap her shoulder. "Listen Mary, Me and Lori are having a great time seeing you have smoochie time with your boyfriend but we haven't finished shopping." I see Lorianne groan at that and I let out a small laugh. Mary-Ann pulls away from Lucas. "Right, so where are we going?"

"I could really use some food. I didn't have breakfast this morning." Zach says and Lucas nods. "We can get some food." Lucas says and we all agree other then Lorianne who just says nothing,or doesn't motion or anything. She sees me looking at her and smiles. Okay maybe she does want to go? I smile back and we all walk off to the food court.

We made it to the food courts and everyone else orders food. When it was my turn I stood infront the cash register just staring at him. "Miss, what can I get for you to eat?" I suck in a sharp breath and feel an arm on my shoulder. It was Mariam.  I let out a sigh and she signed to me. What do you want to eat? I look up at the menu. French toast please. She smiles and tells the cashier what I wanted and we sat down at our table. I slid next to Mario because he and Mariam were the only ones who made me feel comfortable. I don't know why he made me feel comfortable but he did, and I didn't mind that. I feel eyes on me and look up from my lap. They were the guy Zach's eyes.

He continues staring at me and I look at him with a questioning look. "Why didn't you speak to the cashier?" I stare at him blankly. He waves his hand in-front of my face and I slap it away. "Ow! What was the reason?" I glare at him and pull my phone out. I plug in my headphones and turn on my music. I hear Mario's faint voice from beside me and read his lips. "You need to learn when to shut the fuck up! Like just don't talk." I laugh to myself and put my phone in my back pocket. After 10 minutes our food arrives we—they start eating and talking as I just listened to my music and ate my French toast in peace. At least until I hear my name being called by Mary-Ann.

I look up from my food and at her. "Zach has a question for you." I look over at Zachariah. "How do you respond to people? Like do you just nod and shake your head all the time?" I shake my head and go back to eating my French toast. "So then how else do you talk?" I groan and look back up at him. "ASL" Mariam says and I sigh. "What's ASL?" Asks Zachariah. Is he serious? What did he learn in school? Nothing! "It's American Sign Language. Speaking with your hands. It's mostly used for deaf people but Lori does it because she doesn't talk."

"How come I've never heard anyone speak this 'sign language'?" I drop my fork and lean back on the cushion from the from the booth seat. How much of an idiot is he? Thankfully Mariam spoke up before I leaned over and punched the guy. "No one really... speaks sign language per say. Its when you use gestures and hand movements to speak." We might as well teach him about all kinds of sign language if we're doing this. "So like how do people understand what you say?" That's it. I was going to punch this kid. "Other people need to learn sign language before they can actually speak using sign language and understand what others who use sign language say." "Is it easy to learn?" I shake my head. "It can take some people days, weeks, months, even years. Do you want to learn?" Mariam asks him. "Is it fun?" Fun? Is he serious! If he asks one more stupid question I'm punching him. "Fun? Well to learn it's gonna take a while and you might get a little happy when you get something right.. but I don't really think it's all that fun."

He looks down at his waffles and shakes his head. "No thanks. I don't like non-fun things." I sigh we'll thankfully I don't have to be the one teaching him if he did agree. "Oh come on! I'll Lorianne teach you!" I shoot my head in her direction and punch right in her face. "Ow! Lori! My face!"

I smile at her and then start eating my French toast again. Why won't you teach him? She signs to me and I drop my fork. XBecause he's an idiot! I don't think he'll even know how to do the fucking alphabet even after one whole month! She sighs. Well I'm most certainly not teaching him. I look back at my food. Then he doesn't need to learn. He'll be fine. I eat my last price of French toast and see everyone staring at me and Mariam. Are they this slow? Even Mary-Ann and she knows sign language! Mary-Ann starts laughing and points to Zachariah. "She just insulted you dude!" Lucas was looking very confused. "What the hell is going on? What did she even say?" Mariam laughs and shakes her head. "Nothing.. Nothing."  "Anywho! Since we're all done let's go somewhere else." Mario says and everyone agrees.

I grab half of the bags from under the table and Mario grabs the other half. We get up and throw our trays away. Leaving the food court. "Let's go to the Photo Booth!" Mary-Ann says.  "Ew photos?" Zachariah says and I slap him on the back of his head. "Ow!" I smile at him and we walk to the Photo Booth. Once we get inside we place the bags on the ground in-front of us so they won't be seen. We take photos, posing differently for each one. We had a lot of fun the rest of the day and I was kind of glad that I chose to Tag along with Mariam and Mary-Ann.
