Only human

Chapter 5

I was sitting in my room trying to decide if I should go to dinner with Peter. But eventually my mom convinced me to go. Even if it meant guilt tripping me

"Oh come on! You have to go. Cat's Kitchen is an expensive place! Don't let Melissa's money go to waste."

I picked up my phone and dialed Melissa's number.
She answered the phone
"Yeah?"
"Ok so suppose I do go to dinner with Peter, what would I wear?"

I could hear the smile in her voice.

"Meet me at the mall in 20 minutes."

She hung up and I sighed, for some reason I was a little bit exited about it.

I grabbed my bag and stuffed my phone, keys, wallet, and the rest of the normal stuff I always keep with me. As I was walking  downstairs my mom stopped me.
"Where you going?"
"I um... I'm going out with Melissa."
"Ok how late do you think you'll be out?"
"I'm... I'm not sure. But I'll call you when I'm on my way home."
"Ok sweetie. Drive safe."
I put on my leather jacket and went outside. As soon as I got in the car my phone vibrated. It was a text from Melissa.

Hey!!! Where are you? I'm waiting in the food court

God you're already there? How many time did you get pulled over for speeding?

Ha ha very funny. Just hurry up.

I laughed and put down my phone.

"Oh come on! Seriously?"
I was starting to get frustrated with these drivers.

I pulled into an open spot next to Melissa's car and switched of the engine.

"Hey! What took you so long?"
"Some idiot in an 18 wheeler kept cutting me off and I missed a few turns because of it."
"Whatever. We have shopping to do. Come on."
She grabbed my wrist and dragged me to the biggest clothes shop she saw.
