Brooke
As I sat at my desk, trying to do a simple winged eyeliner, I remembered that I could use tape so I grabbed my scotch tape, and lined it up with the crease of my eye. "Perfect!" I grinned. I walked out my room to show my mom. "Mom look. I don't look like poot lovato for once!" I giggled. She was on her phone, not replying. "Uh mom? Look, I'm not a gorilla." I said softer. "Cool." She said short. I bit my cheek and walked out the room. Leaving nothing but silence behind. "Hey Brooke you're eyes look good sweetie." My dad said, shoving a fork full of noodles in his mouth. I smiled sarcastically. "Thanks dad." I stated. "Hey would you like me to take you and Evalyn shopping today?" Dad smiled. I shot my head back at him and jumped up and down. "You better not be joking Micheal Smith!" I laughed. He shook his head and chuckled. "Go wake up Evalyn and throw some shoes on." I ran upstairs and shook Eva multiple times. "Get up you stupid carrot!" I yelled. "Hey no need for names Brooke, I am a innocent 11 year old almost teenager!" She complained. I rolled my eyes and walked out.
We arrived at the mall and I asked dad if I could get 18 dollars to go get the new red loaki. I ran to giftoligy and purchased the bracelet, luckily getting the last one. When I found my dad again he was with Eva at justice, with arms full of clothes. We aren't exactly the kinda family who gets paid 10 dollars an hour, but we aren't extremely rich either.
After Eva got all of her clothes dad just gave me money to go get my own stuff. He and Eva took a cab home and he left me the car. I went to H&M and got an adorable shirt dress, new sweaters, a new pair of skinny jeans, and a cute ball cap. I then went to Footlocker and bought a new pair of roches. My last 3 stops were to Pink, Hollister, and Pacsun. I got underwear, jeans, more coats since its December here in San Francisco, and some more shirts. By the time I was ready to leave I still had about 175 on me, so I decided to go to get Chinese food. I sat at a booth and saw a kid that looked very familiar. I pulled out my phone and texted Matthew.

To Matthew
Hey Matthew, watcha up to?

He instantly replied. I looked at the kid, we was also on his phone. My waitress came to me and asked if i was gonna get something to drink. "Uh yes ma'am, I'll get a Sprite but at that table please." I smiled pointing to the table the boy was at. She nodded and walked away.
I got out of my seat and walked over to the table. His eyes looked up from his phone and he furrowed his eyebrows. "Brooke?" He asked. I then tilted my head. How exactly did he know me?

Matthew Espinosa

I got out of my car from football practice. I was so hungry. Coach normally says not to eat immediately after but I ignored him for today. I walked into a small Chinese buffet and sat at a table. I pulled out my phone and scrolled through social media. Mainly Instagram since that's really all I like. A waiter came and brought my drink, leaving a check before I ate. I chuckled at how nice their service is. A familiar looking girl walked in, sitting at a booth. I ignored it and went to get some food. When I came back maybe 15 seconds later I got a text from Brooke and the girl came waking to my table.
"Brooke?" I said, furrowing my eyebrows. She tilted her head, almost as if she had no idea who I was. "Uh I'm Matthew." I smiled. Her eyes widened. "I knew it!" She laughed, pulling a chair. "Uh sure make yourself comfortable. " I joked. She laughed. "Yeah I saw you and I'm like do I know him?" She said. "I've tried to talk to you before, a couple days ago, but my team pulled my away." I said. "Ah that's where I recognized you." She said. We talked for awhile and eventually left.
