The End : An Obsessive Love Story.

Let's Go To The Mall

Cheyenne

My mom is making me go to the mall to get back to school clothes.

I really hate shopping. And I always have.

Mostly because my mom has a completely different style that I do.

She likes blouses and frills, and I like band t-shirts and skinny jeans.

So, with my words of persuasion, I coaxed her into letting me go with my little brother and one friend.

I told her that I wanted to take Alex, to get a "man's perspective".

"That is a definite no." She said.

"Why? Come on ma." I begged, making a sad face.

"He's a boy! The only boy you need there is your little brother. And plus, I don't know him! And how old did you say he was?" She said, matter-of-factly.

"A. That's sexist. B. Cadence is 5 years old! How am I supposed to listen to a 5 year old?"

"You have ears, just listen. And.....?"

"And....what?" I asked, raising one eyebrow.

"How old is Alex?"

"17." I whispered.

"What?!" She said.

"Mom, I don't have any other friends." I pleaded.
She sighed. "What will you do for me?"

I do just about all of the housework. So what was left? I thought.

"I'll make straight A's, I swear."

"Hmmm. That's more for you."

"I'll buy us lunch and save you some."

"Okay, deal." My mom sighed.

Cadence and I headed out to meet Alex and I couldn't be more excited.

Alex

I told my parents that I was going to the mall to buy some new school clothes.
It took a long time for me to persuade her to let me go "by myself".

That's what I told her.

What she didn't know was that I was going to go meet Cheyenne outside so we could walk together.

And I don't intend on ever telling her; seeing that my mom is very meddlesome.

I walked outside to see Cheyenne heading towards my house, holding her little brother's hand.

I thought is was just going to be me and her. I thought.

"Hey," I smiled, meeting them halfway.

"Hey! You ready?" She smirked, turning around in the right direction.

"I was born ready baby," I joked, making a weird face.

Both her and Cadence broke out into a huge laugh.

This was going to be fun.
