~~~~~Mrs Smith's POV:~~~~~
The lady speaks with a whiny voice, but I can't turn her away. She and the man came to adopt.
They survey the crowd of girls and the man's eyes rest on a girl sitting next to a window. The girl is also surveying the couple.
The couple have a mumbled conversation, then the lady turns to me, with a fake smile. "What is that girl's name?" she asks, pointing at the girl sitting by the window.
"Jade." I reply.
"She seems nice," the lady continues. "Could we please adopt her?"
"Of course!" I say, in mock cheerfulness. Then, I look over at Jade. She is still watching us with a blank expression on her face. "Jade!" I call. Her expression changes to one of despair.
She knows.
~~~~~Zayn's POV:~~~~~
We've spent way over an hour in the mall already. Finally, Perrie says that we can go home.
Arianna has been so enthusiastic. I think she has never done this sort of thing before.
"We can go and have dinner out," I suggest "I know a great little place down by the river."
"Cool! Let's go!" Perrie says. Then she heads off to the carpark, where the car is parked.
I follow, with Arianna. She walks almost as if she is skipping.
"Had fun?" I asked her.
"Yup!" she says and smiles.
"I don't get why you girls like going shopping! What's so good about it?"
Arianna doesn't say anything, she just laughs.
Then, I give up.
It will take more than this to break the ice between me and her.
