I woke up the next morning opening my eyes nice and easy since there was no light to adjust to. I told you I don't sleep with the blinds open. I drag my feet out of bed ready to start my usual morning routine. My beats pill automatically hooks up so I can just get in the shower right away. I get in wash my body and hair and step out and take a seat at my vanity mirror where I start my usual makeup. Mascara and eyeliner. Finishing up I blow dry my hair letting it fall down in its natural waves.

For my outfit I decided my light blue skinny jeans, a Maroon sweater, with my white vans. I disconnect my phone from my beats pill and head down the stairs.

As I turn the corner into the kitchen I notice there's a note on the counter. It reads,

Dear Leila,
I told you yesterday I would be working the morning shift so I will be home early. I'll probably be back before you get home from the mall. I've left you $300. Spend it wisely.
-Mom Xx

I slip the money into my wallet and head to the garage. I get into my jeep, start the engine, and back out the driveway before staring the 20 minute drive to the mall.

As I drive to the mall. I make a quick stop. The Starbucks sign caught my eye so I pulled into the drive thru ordering a passion fruit lemonade.

Once I got it finally, I decide to go to the mall.
I pull into the parking lot and park.  I hop out of my jeep and start running to the front door since I got an e-mail from Victoria Secret saying there was a sale on underwear. 50% off.

I rush through the mall getting plenty of fingers and foul language on the way but I successfully make it.  I run to the table where they were picking out 10.

I walk up to the register walking around the mob of people.

"Hi, did you find everything okay" the lady at the register asks me

"Yes I did"  I reply.

"Did anyone help you today?" She ask while ringing up my items.

"Um no"

"Okay your total is $32.75". I take the money out of my wallet and handing her a $50 bill.

"Out of 50" she mumbles to herself.  She wraps up my items and puts them into the bag landing me my change.

"Thank you" I say to her.

"Have a nice day" she replies.

Walking out the store, pushing my way through crowds of people, I finally make it to Triangl where I would be getting my swimsuit.

Walking in looking at all the rows of different colored swimsuits, some of these colors I've never even heard of or seen. I continue walking pushing through the many colors on the racks but one bikini in particular catching my eyes out of all of them.  A black and white one all the way in the back. Instantly after seeing it I grab the bikini off the rack checking to see if it was my size.  Flipping it over to look at the price tag, I let out a sight of relief after realizing it was my size. 

Walking up the the register the lady rang up my swimsuit, put it in a bag, and told me my total.

"Your total is $98.63" handing her a $100 bill, I grab my bag off the counter and yell a brief keep the change before heading towards the mall's exit.
