chapter 3

Madison's pov 

"Who's ready for the meet up!" Maggie sings, entering the room in a gray shirt dress and converse with her hair perfectly curled. She's literally goals, no wonder she gets so many modeling offers.

"Yessss!" I reply. "Take a picture with me Mags."  I wave her over to where I stand at the window and I smile as cute as possible and she does the same as I click the picture button on snapchat. I save it to my camera roll before adding ' meet up today, so excited to see u babes! ' and adding it to my story. 

"Guys the meet up is free at the mall, go to the address below in an hour!" I then add on a video for my snapchat story. In the middle of it, Mario walks in the room in the background with a toothbrush in his mouth. "Oops." He mumbles as I start laughing.

"Okay y'all we need to leave now so we have time." Noah instructs. We agree and head downstairs and outside to where the car is parked.

"We need two more seats though." Mark says confused. "Madison and Maggie just sit on someone's lap?" He questions. We nod our heads at the best solution. Mario gets into the driver seat with Noah in the passenger, everyone else in the back.

I make myself comfortable on Weston and hide my embarrasement as Hunter watches. He sat in the middle so it's not my fault, but whatever.

"Directions to Panera Bread." Mario speaks into his phone in a monotone voice. He then backs out of the driveway and we're on our way.

*******************************************

"Thank you." I smile as my food is put down by a lady, maybe 50 with gray hair in a bob and a wide smile plastered on her face. She makes sure we're okay before walking away.

"Did she really put a lid on my cup?" Mark sighs. "I might look young, but I've got a wide vocabulary for that lady." He says grumpily.

"It's okay little Marcus." Maggie coos with a giggle. 

I take about 7 pictures of my Macornni and cheese and pink lemonade before I dig in. 

"Madison." I look up as a wipe cheese of my face to see Weston zooming in on my face. I take an extra straw and throw it across the table, just far enough to fall on his lap.

"This means war Gray." He growls.

"Yo man, fight Maddie you fight me." Hunter half stands up, straightening his back jokingly.

"I declare a joust." 

"Ladies, ladies this is very uncalled for." Mark speaks up. "We are in a civilized place. You're all beautiful"

"Shut up little boy." Weston retorts with a  laugh, earning laughs from everyone else including Mark.

"Ya know what, fight me." Mark retorts.

"I bet you can't catch one in your mouth like me." Noah says to Weston as he opens his bag of fritos that he got instead of bread. He's crazy. Their bread is heaven. 

"I could catch more than both of you." Mario smirks.

And that's how we end up with chips all over the ground and an escort out of Panera.

*********************************

I step out of the car once again in the parking garage. Families and groups of girls all walk towards the mall entrance. I watch a little boy in a monkey onesie and his sister in a matching elephant one. The parents hold hands with each other and their maybe 3 year olds and my heart melts at the cute family.

"Goals." I say to Maggie. We all walk into the mall behind the family and Noah and Maggie start to vlog, but i'm too busy talking to Hunter.

"I'm so excited oh my gash!" I squeal. "How many people do you think are here?" I ask as I open the glass door to Jcpenny. From there I see a group of 10 or 15 girls looking at scarfs and backpacks. 

"There they are!" One shorter girl screams and they all come running to us. I smile at the small crowd as they pull out their phones. 

"Hi I'm Lacey." one girl approaches me. She's tall with red hair and glasses. "I-I love you so much."

"Aw I love you too beautiful! Where's your shoes from? I'm obsessed!" I point at her suede brown booties and her smile gets bigger before she tells me they're from Charolette Russe. I take a picture with her and follow her on twitter before taking a group picture with Maggie, Noah and four other girls.

"How long have y'all been here?" Mario asks.

"3 hours." One laughs. I smile at her and we all start having a big conversation. After about 30 minutes we say we're going to walk around, expecting that to be the last big crowd, but when we walk into the main walkway of the mall and look below us I notice that today's going to be longer than I thought.

MadisonGray: Meet us downstairs of  the mall cuties I tweet. Everyone quickly retweets me as we find our way to the elevator. 

"I can beat you there." Mark says before taking off with Maggie close behind him. She pulls him back with his hood and runs infront but he grabs her hand and puts her back behind her. I laugh at two old couples staring at them weirdly, stopping their conversation to watch. 

Mark finally makes it first and we all join him in the glass elevator. I take a picture of the ceiling with a mirror and before I know it, we're stepping out the elevator and become instantly swarmed by teenagers, some even crying.

One runs up to me and I wrap my arms around her in a hug. I feel her shaking, i felt so bad, but it made my heart melt that it was because of me. I squeeze her tighter.

"Hey cutie." I laugh as she opens up from the hug to look at me. 

"I love you so much!" She crys.

"I love you more." I tell her. I look her in the eyes before I say "seriously." 

*********************************************************************

I tiredly lay in bed, logging onto Twitter.

I find a college of two picture from a girl from the meet and greet.

The first one is in the car on the way home, I'm sitting on Hunter's lap with my back to the window. I lay my head between his head and shoulders where I was napping. I'M TIRED OKAY? 

The next of us starring at each other flirtatiously through the crowd that separated us. We do it everywhere so I was kind of just used to it and didn't even realize I was doing it.

#Hadison omg! It read. I go through the comments, already 150 and 390 retweets in an hour. My heart starts beating fast as I go through the comments.

Is Hadison something to hide? If it's something at all.
