Chapter 5

It has been a week since the party. I spent it cleaning my room, organizing things, buying little by little things I knew I would be needing in the fall for college. I started texting Kourtney and Brent four days later, told them I was ready to start talking to them again but I couldn't meet up because I was busy. That same day Sophia called and asked me if I wanted to hang out the next week to go shopping.

And so I stared at myself in the mirror one more time before she gets here a week later. I don't really go out shopping much but because I decided to have fun for once, I also decide to put on some effort but also be comfortable. My outfit consists of black jeans and a white off the shoulder top. It was a gift from an aunt for graduation, definitely not something I would buy but it actually looks nice on and lastly I put on some white sneakers because again, I'm gonna be walking a lot probably. I even put on some eyeshadow, mascara and lip gloss. I'm pretty shock to see how much my features are enhanced. Moving on to hair, I leave it natural. Some parts look straight, others curly and wavy and others frizzy. It can't make up its mind but I don't mind it. I have come to embrace it. I part my hair in the middle and braid the front pieces and tied it on the back. 

I don't know what to think of my whole appearance but I think I like it as I stare at myself.  I reach for my purse and check one more time that I have everything I need. As I slung my purse on my shoulder, I hear a car's horn outside. I walk out of my room and into the front entrance, open the door and find Sophia's car with her inside waving her hand at me. I smile and close the door behind, starting my way towards her car.

Once inside her car and saying our hellos, we pulled out of my driveway and out to go shopping.

I check the time on my phone and realize we have been shopping for two hours.

"I'm actually really tired. But this is the most fun I ever had shopping. Probably because I always come with Liam and he gets tired quickly", Sophia says as she throws her arm around my shoulder laughing as I join her.

"I've had a lot of fun, too. Thanks for suggesting this. I might be suggesting we do this again", I say.

"Oh my god, are you serious?", she says as stops in front of me, her eyes are wide open.

"Yes, I'm being serious. Why is that so shocking?", I ask as I laugh.

"You know why. But I'm so glad you said that. And that you are having fun, too", she says as we walk out of a store.

"I guess I do know", I admit, knowing perfectly what she means.

"Oh no", she says looking at her phone.

"What's wrong?", I ask stopping.

"Liam and the boys are here at the mall. Said they needed some air", she says as she shakes her head smiling.

I feel my chest start pounding as soon as her words sink in. They are here. He's here.

"I wonder where they're at", she says looking around.

"You know, I'm actually really tired. I think I'm gonna catch a taxi and head home", I say as I pull out my phone.

"What? No. Blaise, just because Zayn is gonna be here doesn't mean you have to leave", she says as she lays her hands on my shoulder.
