*** Rachel's POV ***
Silestia - Hey is this Rachel from Science?
Me - Yes! Your name is Silestia right?
Silestia - Yeah.
Me - So how's life? 😂
Silestia - Great, actually! Hey what time are you and your friend going to the mall tomorrow? I'm going too because my mom needed to get a shirt for an engagement party.
Me - We're going at 5. What about you?
Silestia - We're going at 5:30. Do you think you'll be there for more than 30 mins? Maybe we could meet up and get some food or something while my mom tries to find a shirt.
Me - Yeah! That would be cool.
Silestia - Okay! Text me tomorrow.
Me - K! Gn
Silestia - Gn
* Friday at the mall *
" Ahhh! Rachel! We need to go in here!" Becky dragged me into a store named Forever 21. It looked like they had some cute things in there so I didn't mind.
I ended up liking everything they had. In total, I got seven shirts, four pairs of pants, two pairs of leggings, and three pairs of shoes. The total came to $77.56 but it was worth it because I needed new clothes.
" Why do you think Jacob wasn't in school today?" Becky asked me as we walked out of Forever 21.
" I don't know. Maybe because he played me and then karma got to him and he got sick." I replied. We both chuckled.
" What store do you want to go to next? I mean, there's a ton. We could go to Sephora, Rue 21, Icing," Becky asked.
" Wait, what's Icing?"
" It's an accessory store. We can go there if you want! They always have like buy one get one free or small sales like that." Becky made a hand gesture for me to follow her to Icing.
The store was honestly pretty cute. They had a ton of jewelry, which I wasn't a fan of, but I really liked chokers. They also had earrings and such.
" I've always wanted my second hole piercing," I explained to Becky. " Do you think I should get one?"
" Well that's not my call, but I think you should wait until you talk about it with your mom." I nodded in agreement.
I ended up getting three silver ear cuffs from icing, a five pack of chokers, and fake diamond stud earrings. That came to a total of $30.78 which is kind of expensive for jewelry but whatever. I needed new things.
We passed Hot Topic and I obviously had to go in there.
I ended up buying only one thing from there which was a black nail polish.
We stopped at Victoria's Secret PINK and Rue 21. I didn't buy as many things as I thought I would at Rue 21 but I bought a lot. And I spent $90 at PINK so I'm pretty sure that explains it.
And if you're wondering where I got this money from, I had this savings jar for my " Glo-up " that I wanted so I saved all money I got since I was eight. I had over $400 in there. But I still don't want to spend all of it, cause I want to save it for high school back to school shopping.
We didn't end up going to Sephora because Becky said she had foundation and extra makeup she hadn't used and I could just have it instead of spending my money.
" I met this girl named Silestia in my Science class and she said she'd be here tonight. Should I text her?" I asked Becky.
   " Yeah! Ask where she is."
Me - Hey! We're at the mall where are you
Silestia - We're at the food court! We're by Taco Bell
Me - ok I'll be there soon
Silestia - Okay ;-)
   Becky and I went all the way to the food court to meet up with Silestia. She saw us and waved.
" Hi guys!" She told us.
" Silestia, this is Becky. Becky, this is Silestia." I introduced them. They smiled at each other.
" Are you guys hungry? I can get you something if you want," Silestia asked. Honestly I was kind of hungry but I didn't want to be rude.
" I'm good," I told her. " But thanks." Silestia nodded and smiled at us again. Her phone buzzed so she looked and saw who the text was from.
" Well, it was nice meeting you, but my mom's almost done shopping. I hope we can meet again sometime! And for more than thirty seconds." She turned away and ordered food at Taco Bell. We walked away and began talking. We decided to sit in the food court and chat.
" So you never explained to me about what happened between you and Tori Andersons." I told Becky.
" Do you want to know?" She asked and I nodded.
" Tori Anderson. She makes me gag. So a couple of years ago, in fourth grade, there was this dance thing at our school. Not like an actual dance but just something fun. There was pizza and music at the dance. So I went, and they were doing this competition to see who were the best dancers. We did small couple dances, not legit, but for fun. Apparently I wound up being the best dancer along with her ' boyfriend ' at the time, so she gave me rude looks and evil eyes for the rest of the year. Then comes fifth grade, and she found out I had social media. Technically only an Instagram and Twitter account, both of which my parents had the password to. She created a ton of hate pages for me and told me I was very disgusting things that I won't bring up because they're bad but it was so horrible. She was doing it all throughout sixth grade too. I developed a crush named Tristan, he doesn't go to this school but he went to my school last year. Tori dated him because as I kind of explained before, every guy had the hots for her from how pretty she was. And she had been bullying me ever since."
" Oh my God! Why didn't you tell anyone!" My eyes were very wide and I was shocked to hear this news. I wanted to snatch Tori's weave so hard that her eye sockets would pop out.
" I don't know. She stopped randomly this summer."
I couldn't believe I was hearing this. This made me hate Tori even more than I already did. Ugh.
" What size are you in clothing?" I asked her. Random question, but I wanted to know.
" An eighteen. Why?"
" I'm the same size as you! I thought I would give away some of my clothes but maybe I can give them to you. You should sleep over tonight." I told her with a smile ear to ear. I was so excited if she would be able to sleep over.
" Yes! I'll text my mom right now." She got out her phone and texted her mom.
" She said it's okay. And I won't need to grab clothes or anything because I just bought clothes." Becky looked through the stuff she got. I did too.
Then I got a text and it was from Jacob.
" I just got a text from Jacob. Should I respond?" I asked Becky. She nodded and I unlocked my phone.
Jacob - Hey do you have a minute
Me - Sure.
Jacob - Why are you all up in Tori and I's business?
Me - What do you mean?
Jacob - Stay away from Tori and I. Got it?
   I didn't respond after that. Becky was reading the messages over my shoulder.
   " That's so mean! Who would say that?" She asked.
   " I know. I'm kind of upset now. I didn't mean to get into their business but it seemed like he was playing me."
   I decided to have Becky's mom drive us back to my house.
   " If you girls need anything, I'll be right across your house." Mrs. Kourt told us and we nodded and got out of the car.
" Wow. Your room is so cool," Becky sat on my bed. " So show me the clothes!"
After twenty minutes of rummaging through my clothes, I pulled out about 80% of my clothing.
" Here. Go through this and see what you like or dislike. I'm going to be hanging up my new clothing, then I'll take a shower after that. I'll talk to you after." I told Becky. I went back into my walk in closet, hung up the new clothes I got and hopped in the shower.
*** Becky's POV ***
Wow. Rachel has a ton of clothes.
But I just kept thinking about the fact that Jacob said something like that to her. It makes me mad.
I really want to talk to him and see why he went off on her like that, but I think it was best to leave the situation alone.
I ended up taking all of the clothes that she gave me because they were all my size and super cute.
   Rachel got out of the shower.
*** Rachel's POV ***
I got out of the shower.
" Did you decide what you were going to take?" I asked Becky. She nodded.
" All of it." She grinned. I laughed and went and sat at my desk.
" So what do you want to talk about?" I asked. I grabbed my phone and started playing flappy bird.
   " I don't know. Boys?"
   I died on flappy bird on purpose and slammed my phone on my desk. Which was okay because I had a life proof protective case and I'm not that strong.
   " And by boys you mean Jacob." I sighed. Becky shrugged.
" He's such a jerk." I said.
" I know. I bet he likes you though." I made a confused face at Becky.
" How?"
" Ya know what the people say. When a guy is mean to a girl, it's because they like her."
I rolled my eyes.
" And by these people, you mean elementary school." Obviously now, if a guy is mean to a girl, it's most likely because doesn't like her. He's just a straight up douchebag.
Becky giggled. I rolled my eyes and made a mad face but I ended up bursting out laughing.
" Okay," I said laughing. " I'm going to brush my teeth now. Want to come?"
Becky nodded and we walked into the bathroom.
" Uh oh," she looked on the floor. I looked in the same spot as her and there was nothing there.
   " What?" I asked. I gave her a worried face.
   " I forgot my toothbrush," Becky said, grinning. Why was she smiling? She's the one who's going to have nasty teeth. I rolled my eyes.
   " Maybe we have an extra one," I told her. " I'll look."
   I began rummaging through everything we had in our cabinet. A perfume falls over on the floor and Becky goes to pick it up.
   " It's okay," she said, placing the perfume back on the shelf. " I can just go to my house and get it."
   I wasn't sure about her going to her house alone. Yes, it was across the street, but there are crazy murders in the world who would love to hurt a twelve year old harmless girl.
   " I'll walk with you," I told her, completely forgetting that it was September and it was probably fifty degrees out.
   " Okay." Becky told me, getting her shoes on. I smiled. But behind that smile was the pain of the fact that I knew I'd be freezing.
   We walked outside and to my expectations, it was freezing. Becky began walking towards her house slowly.
   " Hurry up!" I yelled at her. She turned to face me. Her eyebrows furrowed.
   " Do you really want me to get hit by a car?" She had her hands on her hips.
   " If it means me being able to go back inside and not be freezing, than yes." Of course I was joking, I would scream and cry if she got hit by a car.
   " Hey!" Becky yelled. I started laughing and so did she.
   She got inside of her house. Hopefully, she knew where her toothbrush was, so I wouldn't actually freeze to death.
   In ten seconds, she came back out.
   " Got it!" Becky held up a pink dragon toothbrush and smiled.
   " Good, now come inside! I can't feel my legs." And it's true. I couldn't.
   We both giggled and went inside.

A/N

Wow!! This is my first authors note.
Anyways, this chapter didn't have much Jacob in it. But don't worry, I have big plans ahead and there will be plenty of Jacob chapters 😉😏 Just not too soon though. There's still lots to come.
My goal is to make every chapter at least 2,000 words so they're long chapters and you'll be entertained for longer than 3 minutes, hopefully. ( unless you can read 2,000 words in three minutes. If that's the case than you're magical. )
I'll try to update every day. Love you guys! Xx
