Eleanor's P.O.V. 

I was on the couch, looking on my phone. I was so bored. I heard Louis come in.

"Morning," he said.

"Good morning. I'm bored," I said.

"Why don't you hang out with the girls then?"

"Good idea! I'll text them now."

I picked up my phone and made a group message.

Eleanor- Want to go shopping today? 

Perrie- Sounds fun! 

Danielle- I'm in need of a shopping trip so count me in! 

Eleanor- Come over at 9 

Danielle- K 

Perrie- see u then 

I put down my phone and went to take a shower. After that I put on a white loose tank top and red shorts. I went into the bathroom and dried my hair. I put it into a messy bun and put on light makeup. I stuffed my phone and wallet into my purse, put on black fip-flops, and left my room.

"You look lovely. I especially love the red," Louis said.

"Of course you would like the red," I laughed.

++++++++++++++++++++

9:00

I heard a knock on the door. I answered it to find Danielle and Perrie there.

"Ready to go?" Perrie asked.

"I just need my sunnies," I said. I went into my room and grabbed my aviators. I went back out and left the house with Perrie and Danielle.

We got in the car and drove away. I turned on the radio. 'Call Me Maybe' was on. 

"Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, but here's my number, so call me maybe!" we screamed. After the song ended we were cracking up. For the rest of the ride we listened to music. When we got to the mall we ran in.

"Let's go to TopShop!" Perrie said. We walked over to TopShop. I spotted a few things I liked. We walked over to a rack where a girl about my age was. She looked at us and her face lit up.

"Oh my gosh, you're Danielle Peazer, Eleanor Calder, and Perrie Edwards!" she said.

"Yes, we are. What's your name?" I asked.

"I'm Lauren," she replied. She had blonde hair and brown eyes. She was quite pretty.

"Would you like to join us?" Perrie asked.

"I'd love to!" she said.

"Then let's get shopping!" I said.

2 hours later

We had bought lots of clothes. "We should ask the boys to join us for dinner," Perrie suggested.

"Okay, I'll text then now," I said. I sent a group message to the boys.

Eleanor- meet us at the restaurant across from Nando's at 6 

Louis- sounds good 

Zayn-I'll see u then.  

Niall- count me in

Harry- ok

Liam- See you then

"They're all coming. Let's get some dresses!" I said.

We went into a dress store. I picked out a short pink strapless dress with a black skinny belt. Perrie picked a green sleeveless knee-length dress with sequins at the edge. Danielle picked a red strapless dress that went a little bit past her knees. Lauren picked a white short sleeve dress with lace sleeves. We bought the dresses and left. After that we went into a shoe store. I bought a pair of black heels. Perrie bought green pumps. Danielle bought black & red pumps. Lauren bought white flats.

"Why no heels?" Dani asked.

"I like to keep things simple" she said.

We left the store and went into Sephora. We bought lots of makeup but we got specific makeup for that night. I got bright red lipstick and light grey eye shadow. Perrie got dark pink lipstick and matching eye shadow. Dani got white eye shadow and orange-red lipstick. Lauren got beige eye shadow and a lipstick that basically matched her lip color. We paid and left.

"Let's get ready at my flat!" Danielle said.

++++++++++++++++++++

We all put on our dresses. I sat down and Dani put on my makeup. I did the same for her. Perrie and Lauren did each others makeup. I put my hair in a side fishtail braid and left a few strands in front of my face. I curled them slightly. Dani straightened her hair and left it down. Perrie put her hair in a high bun and Lauren wore her hair in a ponytail. We put on our heels. I checked the time. It was 5:30. Perfect. I borrowed a clutch from Dani and stuffed my phone and some money inside. We were ready to go.

Louis' P.O.V.

We were waiting outside the restaurant when Danielle's car pulled up. The girls got out, and I had to say, they all looked lovely. I noticed someone I didn't recognize. Eleanor came over to me.

"Who's the other blonde besides Perrie?" I asked.

"That's our new friend Lauren. We met her in TopShop," she said.

I walked over to Lauren. "Hi, I'm Louis," I said.

"I'm Lauren," she said, smiling. The boys introduced themselves.  We went into the restaurant.

"Table for nine," I said. The hostess brought us to our table.
