The Girl With The Guy's Name

Chapter 2: I Dig Doritos

"Up town funk you up, up town funk youup.
Up town funk you up, up town funk you up!"
Sometimes I fear for Tara. One minute she's got Ed Sheeran's Photograph playing and the next she's blaring Mark Ronson's Uptown funk so loudly even people in Morocco could hear it all the way from here.

Right now, we're sitting in the back of her Lexus and her driver, Fred is driving us to the mall. For what exactly, I don't know. All the times that I've been to the mall, something has happened, like maybe getting mobbed by paparazzi or something equally embarrassing. Caden says its cause they can't get enough of us. Sometimes, when we want to go Christmas shopping for people we know, Dad makes us go with bodyguards.

Speaking of Caden, its been two days since Dad made his irrevocable decision about Caden following me to high school and its okay because if I had been going to commoner's school all my life, I'd just be entering as a freshman and Caden would be graduating as a Senior.

How someone can blare music from a Lexus, I just can't comprehend, but Tara seems to be handling it just fine.

"Yo, Chase." She hollers over the music.
"What???" I yell back.
"Why is your brother being such a sore butt" she pouted. I looked over at Caden who had his head against the window. He was staring out of it and had his monsters by Dr Dre over his ears.

"He didn't want to leave Oakling. I did. But he's doing it because Dad caught him hacking into YouTube."
"Poor kid. But he had it coming." She chuckled

Suddenly my phone rang. I checked the caller ID but there was no name. I was hesitant to pick it at first but the phone didn't shut it so I picked it. "Hello" I said awkwardly.

"Hi Chase. Its me Riley!" My cousin squealed into my ear. Riley is my 11 year cousin who just moved back like two years ago from Cyprus . She's cool and fun to be with although sometimes she acts like she's a few skittles shy of a pack.

"Hey Riley. How are you doing?" I ask.

"Fine. Hey is it true that you're going to public school?"

"Uh...yeah??" I reply cautiously.

"Okkie dokkie." She chirps and the line goes dead. "Awkward" I mutter under my breath and look up just in time to see us pulling up in front of the mall's main entrance.

As we alight from the car, I look down at what I'm wearing; a light blue strapless dress that reaches just above my knees with a dark blue bolero, white ballet flats and a white and blue Alice band with a set of three navy blue bangles.

I notice some people watching us but I look ahead as we make our way into the mall.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

"Are you sure you wanna get that?" Tara asks me as I point at a bag of nacho-looking things with the name Doritos printed across the front. "Of course I do!" I reply as the guy serving us hands it to me and I pay, "Besides, I dig Doritos!"

"You know you've never tasted them before." She points out.

"Kill joy" I mutter under my breath.

"What was that?" She asks.

"I said, real boy. Because at the end of the book Pinocchio, the puppet becomes a real boy." I lie smoothly.

"You're lying. But I don't care, I'm starving. Let's get to our table."

We're in the food Court and the reason we came to the mall was was for us to get accustomed to normal things because apparently, teenagers of our age (namely Caden and I, duh) like going to the mall to hang out, why they do it, I don't know, because its actually really boring.

Caden is sitting at a table with four chairs and he's chowing down on a burger from Johnny Rockets. He's got a chocolate milkshake and fries. "Hey hey" Tara greets him and she pulls out her chair and takes a seat. She got a lasagna from this place called 'Le Fromage' and apple juice. I got a foot long subway and doritos as well as a cup of Coke.

"Hmm, this is really great!" He says, but his mouth is full so it sounds more like "Umph, If...Is will E Gray!".

"Caden eats like a troll." I state plainly as I pop a Dorito chip into my mouth.

"Says the girl who eats like she's got a crowd watching constantly!"

"That's because I have dignity, unlike you." I sniff.

He laughs distrustfully and just as I'm about to ask why, he looks up at me and his eyes widen at something behind me. "Chase, I think you might want to see who's behind you" he smirks.

I look back so fast, I almost get whiplash, and nearly faint (along side almost all the girls in the food court). Because him just being here is surely enough to give even Alex Pettyfer a sun burn.

Its Eric. Freaking. Whyte.
