Kid Zombie :

IV

After what seemed like hours of standing around,staring, and observing dresses, Tessa finally picked a dress out for me and her finally. The theme of the party was Atlantic. I don't see what was so hard for Miles to tell me that himself. I dragged behind Tessa as she proceeded in picking out jewelry and shoes to go with my dress. I would be wearing a dress just as blue as the ocean and her dress would be green like the seaweed at the bottom of it.

"Can we go eat?Im starving!" Izzy shouted. I glanced over to Tessa. She looked at me and smiled evilly.

"Fine. I get to pick the rest of your stuff out." She said.

"It's not like you haven't did that for the past two hours or anything." I said sarcastically.

"Whatever." She said plainly,waving me off. I left her alone inside of the shoe store and wandered off to the food court.

"What do you want to eat?" I asked my little sister. She wanted Chinese apparently because she ran in the direction of a Chinese food stand. I got her a small plate of stir fry and got myself orange chicken and shrimp fried rice. We sat down and ate.

"I saw a monster at Sarah's." She mumbled as she ate her food.

"Speak up."I told her. "You know I hate that,"I added.

"When I was at Sarah's there was a monster at her window. He didn't talk to us because he wasn't a nice monster. I wasn't scared of it though because it went away." She said continuing her story.

"And where did the monster go?" I asked.

"I dunno." She said,shrugging her shoulders and taking a bite of her broccoli. I took my stare off of her and looked towards the Hollister store and saw a group of guys messing around and I saw Miles laughing along with them. A security guard came at them,face red and puffy and he yelled at them. They walked away,still laughing.

I stared at Miles like an idiot until he caught my gaze. I hurriedly looked away,hoping he didn't notice me and would just walk away.

But he did notice me.

I silently cursed as he said something to his friends to me make them all look at me, and he soon cruised in my direction, making me scoot in my booth until I hit the wall to my left. Miles came and sat next to me,smiling as usual.

"Hey there," he said easily.

"Hi" I replied. Izzy frowned,looking up a Miles. "Are you her boyfriend?" She asked, still frowning.

Miles extended his hand to her "No, but my name is Miles, like something you would go per hour." He said, still holding out his hand.

Izzy looked at his hand before she took it and shook it. "My name is Isabella. You can call me Izzy though,like the drink." She said revealing her missing teeth as she smiled.

He moved his lips around like he was using mouthwash, acting like he was taking this in.

"I like it." He finally said. Izzy smiled more at his comment.

After they finished their little kid conversation, Miles finally turned his soft gaze to me.

"With about three,maybe four hours left until the party, what are you doing at the mall at an hour like this fair lady?" He said cutely.

"Well, I finally found out your secret theme. Though it wasn't so secret, sir."

He laughed lightly. "Oh, so you're shopping?" He asked.

"Me?Shopping? No. Someone always does it for me. Tessa to be more specific." I said, smiling at the thought of her having a grand ball to be picking out my whole wardrobe if I let her.

"Maybe if I could take you shopping sometime, you could pick out a couple things for yourself then?" He said, still being cute.

"Maybe..I think my sister wants you all to her self." I said, pointing in her direction. She was nodding her head, fighting her sleep. I was tired too.

He laughed,bringing my attention back to him. "Someone's tired I guess?" He said.

"I guess so," I said laughing with him.

His group of friends approached us and stood near our booth. Miles stood up. I felt cold suddenly as the warmth of his presence was gone. He shoved his hands in his pockets, maybe he felt the same cold as well.

"Why are you here to talk to girls? We'll have enough at the party." One said,elbowing Miles.

"Yeah," The other added. "Atleast you could talk to one who hasn't given birth to a full grown baby." He said,nodding to Izzy. I felt my face turn a bright red,in anger. They knew nothing about me. They also clearly didn't know that Izzy was my sister, not my daughter.

Miles shoved the guy into a nearby chair. "Shut up! That's her sister you idiot." He said, still glaring at his friend. The guy put his hands up. "I-I didn't know man, I swear." He looked up at me and mumbled an "I'm sorry." and got up.

"Let's just go." He said waving them away and running his hand through his hair. It was a swift movement.

He looked back at me and winked. "Still hoping to see you tonight." He said and walked away.

Tessa ran up to me as soon as they left, gushing with excitement. "I saw everything! I just couldn't hear what you guys were saying. Plus, I couldn't come over because that would be MAJOR cockblocking!" She said, nearly yelling. "Spill. Spill right now." She told me, more than she was asking me.

I replayed everything that happened into a story format and told her everything.
