My eyes slowly flicker open and I let out a groan. Today was the day Brendon's making me go to the mall with Miss Barbie Doll aka Angie. I've only talked to her once and I already hate her. I hate her too blonde hair, I hate her fake boobs, I hate the way she talks, I hate her clown make up. I seriously do know what Brendon sees in her. I sigh and get out of bed. I look over to my nightstand where my alarm drive. sits. It's 11:20, I sigh again. I open my door and walk downstairs.

I make it downstairs and find a note sitting on the kitchen counter. I lift it up to read it.

"Morning! In the house studio with Dallon and Angie. Come out when you wake up. -Brendon." I walk over to the coffee machine and pour myself a cup of coffee. After adding lots of sugar and some vanilla cream. I start to walk to the door but I then look down to see that I was not wearing any shoes. Well, whatever. I open the door and walk out, warm summer air rushes onto me. I walk out and walk on the small side walk to our house studio.

I open the first door and into the tiny space. Then I open the studio door and walk into the studio. There sitting in a chair next to Brendon was Dallon. Angie was sitting on the couch. Brendon looks over at me.

"Hey kid." He said, leaning back in his chair and taking his glasses off. Dallon turns also.

"Hey Syd." He said, smiling and standing up. He walked over to me and enveloped me in a warm hug.

"Morning Dallon." I said, he pulled away and I walked over to Brendon. I hug him from behind. "What are you guys doing?" I ask. Brendon spins around.

"Touching up somethings." He says. "Angie's here." He said. She looks up and sends me a fake smile before returning to her phone, texting. "So you guys are leaving around one right?" He asks us.

"Yeah, around then." Angie replied. I walk over and sit next to her, I don't know why. She looks over at me. "Aren't you a little young for coffee?" She said, looking down at my coffee.

"I'm sixteen." I said. "So no, I'm not." I look at her caked up face. "Oh, I didn't know the circus is hiring clowns." I said, trying not to laugh at my joke. She just looked at me confused. Dallons turns around and shoots me a fatherly glare. I stop my contained laughter and looked away. Luckily, Brendon was wearing headphones. Dallon slowly turns his head back to the screen. I look back at Angie who was still trying to figure out what I had just said. I sigh and return to my coffee.

An hour later, I'm sitting in the living room next to Dallon. My black converse sway back and forth. Angie walks into the room. Dallon leans over to me. "Play nice ok?" I ruffle his hair.

"Shut up." I said. He groans and runs his hand through his now messy hair. I walk over to Angie and she opens the door. She opens the door and walks to her car.

"Let's go." She yelled. I grabbed my purse and run to my car. I open the passenger door and hop in. "Mall?" She asked. I nod. "Let's go." She starts the car and pulls out of the drive way. I reach over and turn on the radio. It turns on to some pop station. She starts to sing along. I try not to laugh.

All of a sudden, her phone buzzes. She grabs it and answer it. "Hello?" She asks. "Ok see you there." She said in a fake voice. "Sarah's there." She says unhappily. I smile, Sarah's pretty awesome. We continue to drive silently. The rest of the car ride was pretty silent. After we parked we both got out and started walking to the mall. We walked in.

After walking around for a little, we found Sarah. I hugged her and turned back to Angie who was texting on her phone. "I want you to listen to me." She said, still looking down at her phone. "I want you to stay with Sarah the whole time." She said, looking up and glaring at me. "I'm gonna go hang out with some friends." I knit my eyebrows together.

"I though we were supposed to be bonding." I say. She sighs.

"Well too bad. I'm gonna go, bye." She says, walking away. I turn to Sarah.

"Oh my god, I hate her." I tell her with wide eyes.

"Welcome to my world." She replied. She looks around. "So, where do you wanna go first?" She asks smiling. She looks down at my shirt. "How about hot topic." She said. Seriously, why couldn't Brendon date someone like her.

SMALL FAST FORWARD•

Once we finished going to all the stores we wanted to go to, we headed to the food court. As we walk, she starts conversing with me. "Your how old again?" She asks, adjusting the bags in her hands.

"I'm fifteen." I say. She gasps.

"Damn, fifteen and your already touring the Country." She said, laughing a little. "That's pretty amazing." She said. I'm about to comment on what she said but we are stopped by someone. She looked around my age, and pretty excited.

"Hey um, I'm sorry if I'm bothering you but can I have a picture with you?" She asked. I smile, I love it when this happens.

"Yeah of course." She hands me her phone and I hand it to Sarah who takes it and turns it sideways. We both smile and the girl steps away.

"Wow, it's actually you!" She said. I giggle. "Thank you so much." She said smiling.

"Hey, no problem. I love meeting you guys." I said.

"Could I have a hug if that's ok?" She asks.

"Of course." I say, pulling her in for a hug.

"Thank you so much Sydney. Well, I gotta go. It was so nice meeting you." She said. Sarah hands her her phone.

"It was really nice meeting you too." I say. She smiles at me as she walks away.sarah and I continue to walk to the food court. 

"Do you ever get tired of that?" She asks. I shrug.

"No, I love it." I say. "I love seeing how excited they get and their reactions." I laugh. "I would act the same way." I say. "Can we please get some food now?" I ask, she laughs and we make it to the food court.

FAST FORWARD A LITTLE•

After Angie found Sarah and I, she said she was taking me home. I sigh and hug Sarah. Once we get to her car, she speaks up.

"You were with me the whole time okay?" She says. I click my seatbelt.

"But that's not true." I say. She sighs and looks over at me, flicking her too blonde hair out of her face.

"Well guess what, it is now." She says. I glare at her.

"I thought we were supposed to be bonding." I say.

"Well it looks like that didn't happen, now let's make sure your dad doesn't find out." She says glaring back at me.

"I really don't like you." I say.

"Right back at you." She says, starting up the car. What does Brendon see in her?
