Saturday morning, I got straight to business. I am going to make an amazing impression at this party. I unlock the door, drop my bag on the floor and see dad watching sports on the TV.
"Heeeeeyyyyy daddddd" I said sitting on the couch next to my dad
"What do you want Cassandra" he says dryly.
"Ha haha ha. Funny you should ask. Heh heh. So yea I got invited to this party on later tonight and I wanted to know if I can borrow your car to go to the mall to pick up some stuff" I rambled in one breath.
"Cassan-" he begins.
"Annnd my drivers license is valid here too" I pushed.
Dad sighs. "If you can get Nic to go with you then fine."
I huff. "Fine. Thanks dad." I say getting up off the couch and going upstairs to talk to Nic
"NICCC" I yell half way up the stairs.
"YEAA?!" He yells back.
By this time I'm already at his bedroom door. He's on his bed watching something on his laptop. "Come with me to the mall?" I ask hopefully.
"Pfft. No way."
"Nic come onnnn!" I whine.
"I said no. Whining isn't going to help either." He retorts.
"UGH. fine. I'll but you food if you come with" I surrender.
He thinks about this for a couple of seconds. "Fine" he mumbles. "I'll be down in 10 minutes.
"Yay okay, I'll be waiting" I go to my bedroom and grab some cash from my draw. I throw my hair into a bun and refresh my perfume. Then I go downstairs and grab a snack and wait for my brother.
"I'm driving!" He calls out. "Okay" Not that I really minded that much, less work for me. But I shoot my dad a hard glare (jokingly of course) knowing he set me up because he didn't want me to drive his car.
"What?" dad asked playing stupid.
"Ooh you know what" I say squinting at him and walking out.

"Why do you need to go to the mall so bad anyway?" Nic questioned in the car.
"I got invited to a party later today. Oh hey, do you wanna come? I don't know how big it's going to be but if it's lame you can just leave." I say.
"Sure, why not?" He said. "First party of the year? I might as well go. It's Jared's right?"
"Yea, how did you know? I questioned.
"Basketball team" he says grinning. "I already got invited."
"I knew he was a jock" I mumbled under my breath.
"You into him?" He questioned.
I pull my head back and make a face. "Nicholas please. I've only been going to school for two days. I'm not into anyone."
He laughs. "Yea? Well tell that to this girl in my history class, Olivia. She's totally into me."
"Cocky much?" I say.
"Could be, but I doubt. She makes it a bit obvious" he says.
We get to the mall's parking lot and get out of the car. As we enter the huge mall I make a bee-line for "Forever 21"
