POV:ASHLEIGH
Even Monday evenings the malls are this busy? Get a damn job, people! Other than contaminating mall air. What crime has the poor thing committed?
Why meet in a mall? What does she, want now? Too much thinking for me. My mobile pinged and it was Esthe.
*Sorry Ashleigh, can't make it tonight for our sleepover, have to be somewhere for dinner with Mum and Dad.*
Yes. Call me a glutton for punishment! My brain just refused to believe that the one person I had trusted in all my life, would end up an SOB, with a cold as ice, heart. And he is even calling me ASHLEIGH now.
On my way to the mall, I had texted Esthe, about the girls night thing.
Little did I know Mr. And Mrs. Colton were in town. Esthe's parents only come in during summer and winter break, they're too busy with their business in Italy all the time...
Either he's lying or... Screw that, he IS lying. I will get a hold of the bastard, but before I could reply. I heard the loud and cheerful greeting of the person I had been waiting for, so I just sent a quick, *OK*.
I stood up to the commotion.
I found the unmistakable ombre blonde head, running towards me. Whoa, at least someone's in a good mood.
"Ashhhhhhhhhh!" Bianca rushed to me and tackled me into a bear hug.
My breath squished out of me like out of a popped balloon. And if I had to guess how my face looked, I would have bet that it resembled a puffer fish. Wait, I'm lost here. Of what I remembered; she was upset for some reason and was acting off for a while now... Especially with me. What's with the change of greeting? Hostile to PowerPuff girl.
The only reason my brain could summon was menopausal crisis.
And suddenly I was yanked back to reality, jeez, this was actually happening.
"God Ash, we have so much to shop... I feel like I need a whole new wardrobe." She chatted excitedly.
"Buns, you alright?" I asked cautiously.
"Yeah! What's wrong with me? Nothing! Absolutely nothing. I'm great in fact. Lets goooooo..... That store awaits us!"
Was it just me? Or were there way too many O's in that Go.
I was being dragged through the mall. By a girl who seemed high on coke. This is definitely insane, maybe beyond that. She's the recipient of the Oscar for acting weird.
I stop mid way pulling her back to me. She turns and gives me a 'What's wrong now?' look.
"Buns, what's going on... You know you have a helluva lot to explain, right?" I asked, giving her a serious look.
"Oh look, I have been waiting for that collection of casual wear for sooooooo long. We have to rush Ash, chop chop! Faster!" She'd ignored my very serious question and rushed us to I don't even know, what, store.
She let go of my hand and started looking through the collection, I was giving a weird as hell, pensive look to her behind, when I felt a tap on my back. I turned around and found a little boy standing there, grinning at me. I smiled immediately, "How may I help you, little man?" I asked, bending a little.
He made a little gesture for me to bend even further, closer to his level and I did.
"Are you the pretty girl who is a little angry, right now?" he asked, frowning a little. His brows furrowed into the cutest expression.
"Uh..." Before I could say anything else, he extended his hand with a big smile and handed me a sunflower.
"Pretty girl, you should smile more, this sunflower shows loyalty and adoration. Don't be angry, please." With that, he was gone.
I was still on my knees, with the flower in my hand, gaping at the place from which he'd just disappeared. What just happened?
There was a tap on my shoulder again, "Ash? Why are you on your knees come on, get up, I just have to try these on and you need to tell me how amazing I look, in each one." Bianca spoke, tackling her clothes and not even glancing at me.
"Huh?Fine let's go." I got up and followed her into the trial rooms, like I even have a choice here. I sat down and waited for her to change. I looked at the sunflower in my hand, it's not from who I think it is, right?
"Excuse me, miss?" Someone called out, I looked up from the flower. There stood a little girl, smiling at me with two lilacs and one orchid in her hand.
"These are wild flowers, they show spontaneity and thoughtfulness." She gave them to me and smiled even wider now, "You are so pretty, just like that boy... I mean. Oops, I have to go." Before I could get a hold of the sweet thing, she scurried away.
What is happening? Is this some kind tv show, you those where they fool or something. This whole thing is very weird.
Just then the trial room opened and Bianca walked out in one of the outfits.
