I get back home and put on some jeans and sneakers. I wear a crop top, take my jacket and tie my hair up into a high ponytail.

I take my phone and some money and head out.

"Where are you going El?" Mum asks.

"To the mall with Olivia and Louis." I say.

"Be back soon." She says.

"Yeah okay." I say.

I walk to Olivia's house. I knock on the door.

Her mum answers.

"Hi Mrs. Brooks. Is Olivia there?" I ask.

"Yeah she is. I'll go get her."

She goes inside leaving me alone on her front porch. I stand there putting my hands in my pockets. It is quite chilly.

Olivia finally comes and I look up.

"Let's go." She says.

She shuts the door and we walk to Louis' house.

We reach his house and knock on the door.

He instantly opens the door and comes out. "Let's go." He says.

We start to walk to the mall. "How was your decorating session with Queen Evelyn?" Louis asks sarcastically.

"I hardly talked to her and she didn't talk to me. It was peace to my ears." I say.

"Lucky you." Olivia says.

We continue talking and finally reach the mall.

We enter. "So where are we going first?" Louis asks.

"Zara." Olivia says.

I sigh.

"Can't we just skip ahead to the Starbucks and leave?" I ask as we walk towards Zara.

"No. One hour is one hour and I even want to buy some stuff." She says.

"Why are you here Louis?" I ask.

"My mum said that there is a party on Saturday and we have to get me some clothes to wear." He says.

"Oh." I say.

Within seconds, we are standing in front of Zara. And its huge.

"Well, I'm going to the men's section. Meet here later?" Louis asks.

"Sure." I say.

We go separate ways and I walk with Olivia towards the ladies section.

"Hey, are you good with nail polish?" I ask.

"The best in town, why?" She asks, and the look on her face is pretty shocked that I want nail polish.

"Well, I was thinking if you could do my nails during a sleepover." I ask.

"So, you are having a sleepover at your house?" She asks, letting out a tiny squeal.

"I'm planning on it. Tomorrow?" I ask.

"But I have school the next day!" She says.

"Oh yeah. But I'm leaving the next day." I say.

"How about you walk to school with Louis from my house?" I ask.

"I'm not sure but I'll ask my Mum." She says.

"Get your nail polish as well." I say.

"Doesn't your mum have like boxes of makeup, including nail polish?" She asks, confused.

"Oh yeah! Scratch that then." I say.

"Idiot." She says, rolling her eyes.

"Shut up." I say.

We walk over to the ladies section and there were loads of clothes that I really liked.

"Doesn't my mum have this top?" I ask, looking at a very familiar top.

"Probably. She loves this place, remember?" Olivia asks.

"Then let's go. I don't want to be the one who wears the same thing her mum wears." I say.

"Your mum has great style El! She is zoella after all!" Olivia says, holding my hand, stopping me from going.

"Ugh! You know what? I'll just return it if I buy the same thing." I say.

"That's the spirit!" She says.

I roll my eyes and I walk over to the other racks.

I ended up taking three blouses, one pair of jeans, and some shorts.

"Now, go try all of them on." She says, leading me to the changing rooms.

This is the part I hate the most. Trying them all on.

"Ugh!" I say, dragging myself to the changing room with all the clothes to try on.

I take what feels like an hour in the changing room trying all of the clothes on.

They all fit. Great. Now we can finally go!

"They fit. Now can we buy this and get the hell out of here?!" I ask, as soon as I open the door.

"Okay okay!" She says. We walk to the counter and buy them.

"Say, aren't you Eleanor Deyes, Zoella's daughter?" The lady at the cash register asks.

"You must be mistaken." I lie.

"Oh. You look a lot like her though." She says, giving me my bag.

I smile in response and walk out of this store, dragging Olivia with me.

"That was close." I say.

"Really? No shit!" Olivia says.

"Shut up." I say and we wait for Louis.

Soon enough, he comes carrying a shopping bag.

"Starbucks?" He asks.

"Hell yeah!" I say.

We go to Starbucks and get our coffees. We buy an extra one for Alex and we leave.

We walk (and talk) and reach Alex's house.

I knock on the door and Alex opens it.

"Hey! We got you Starbucks!" I say.

"Thanks. Come in. My parents went to do grocery shopping." He says.

"Actually I got to go home and finish packing. I'll see you guys tomorrow?" I say.

"Sure." Olivia says.

I leave them and walk towards my house.

I go home and go to my room.

And here starts the hours of packing....
