*Nikita's P.O.V.*

After class, I looked at my phone to see I had gotten a text.

Cher: Follow Niall to his car. He's parked next to Melanie. We'll meet you there.

I jogged down the school corridor to catch up to Niall. How the hell does he walk so fast?

"You following me?" he said when I caught up to him.

"Actually, yes. Cher told me to follow you to your car because you're parked next to Melanie"

"Because the three of you are going to the mall" he stated, holding the door open for the two of us.

"You and Louis aren't going?"

"Nah, Louis' gonna meet up with his dealer and my mum told me to come home right after school"

"Niall Horan, school bad boy, does what his mummy says?" I replied, making him chuckle.

"My parents are kinda protective of me after the whole 'being kidnapped' thing" he said in a low voice, looking around to make sure no one could hear us.

"Is that why your mum wanted you to come home after school?"

"No, some family members are visiting"

"That sounds fun" I told him.

"It can be, but sometimes family can be a bit much, ya know?"

"Yeah, but it's not my extended family that can be a bit much"

"What do you mean?" He asked me.

"Well, I never met my dad or his family, so my aunt, Harry and Gemma are the only family I have besides my mum. I always looked forward to their visits because they were the only time I actually felt like I was with family. My mum was the one who could be a bit much. Over the years I've grown to resent her, but for some reason it's weird not having her around, even if all she did was criticize everything I do"

"Yeah, but maybe it's for the best. A change of scenery can be a good thing. That's why my family moved here, no one knew who we were or about the kidnapping. I actually had a chance of a normal upbringing here" he told me.

"You're right, maybe it is for the best" I said as we stopped walking in front of a black Range Rover. "You have a Range Rover?"

"Yeah"

"Are you like rich or something?"

"Of course" he retorted.

"Is that why you were kidnapped?"

"Yeah" he replied as Cher, Melanie and Louis appeared behind us.

"You ready, Nikita?" Melanie asked as Louis got in his car, which was parked on the other side of Niall's.

"Yeah, I'm ready" I said as Niall got in his car.

Melanie, Cher and I got in the black Volkswagen and started driving towards the mall.

"Have you ever been to this mall before?" Cher asked me, turning to face me in the backseat.

"Once to go school shopping"

"Have you ever shoplifted anything?"

"No"

"If Cher lifts something, don't run when we leave the store. It puts up a red flag and could cause problems. Only run if the store alarm goes off. Got it?" Melanie instructed, pulling into the mall parking lot.

"Got it" I replied.

We walked into the large mall and started to shop[lift].

"I love this lipstick!" Melanie said when we were in Sephora. When the employees weren't looking, Cher slipped the lipstick Melanie was looking at in her purse. She also stole an eyeshadow palette and two other lipsticks.

After we were done looking around Sephora, we left as casually as possible.

About an hour and four stores later we made our way to the food court.

Cher was currently wearing a skirt she stole underneath the dress she was wearing. She had also stolen two shirts, a bracelet, four necklaces, a clutch, three rings and two bottles of perfume in addition to what she had stolen from Sephora. I don't know how she managed to steal so much without getting caught, but I guess practice makes perfect.

"I'm hungry" Melanie said.

"Me too" Cher replied.

"I kinda want fries, I don't remember the last time I ate them" I added.

We ordered some food and talked for a while. Afterwards, we returned to Melanie's car where we divided up everything Cher stole before going home. By the time I got home it was 6:45 p.m.

"Did you have fun?" Auntie Anne greeted.

"Yeah"

"Good, I'm glad you're making friends and having fun. Did you already eat or would you like me to make you something?"

"I already ate" I told her as her phone rang. While she was on the phone, I went upstairs to my room to put everything Cher stole for me with the rest of my things.
