The life of Lidia

Chapter 16

The rest of the day no one said anything to me. We all just left each other alone.

*NEXT MORNING*
Today is a Saturday since we started school yesterday on a Friday. I woke up took a shower and put on some makeup.
Most of my brothers won't be home today, it'll only be my mom, Liam and Ethan home today till dinner.

I was chilling in my room till about like 1:30 when I got a text message from a random number

Random #: hey Lidia?
Me: yes this is she. Who is this?
Random #: oh hey! This is Carissa from lunch? Ryan and Normanis friend!
Me: ohhh hey!! Yeah I remember you.
Carissa: lol so I'm hanging out with Normani, And ryan today do you want to join?
Me: yeah sure! Where to?
Carissa: the mall! My sister can pick you up(: she's going to be getting all of us.
Me: alright let me ask my mom thanks!!
Carissa: no prob!

I go downstairs into my moms office and ask my mom hopefully Liam won't hear me since he's in the next room over.
"Hey mom can I hangout with my new friends Carissa, Normani, and Ryan?" I ask pleading
"Of course! Do u need money?" She says
"Just a little please." I say.
"Of course go in my purse and grab the $100" she says smiling
"Ok thank you so much!!" I say happy.

Me: hey I can come! What Time?
Carissa: we will be there in 10. (:
Me: Kk

I'm finally going to be hanging out with Ryan. I'm nervous but excited.
I change into black jean shorts and a t-shirt that says Kansas City on it. I do my hair in French braids and I'm ready to go!

Carissa: here!!
I get into the car and Carissa introduced me to her sister Jo. A few minutes later we arrived at the mall. Carissa and Normani were talking to each other so that left me and Ryan.
"So want to play 21 questions?" He says randomly. "Sure" I say smiling. "I just want to get to know you." He says. He's so cute.
21 questions later he knows everything. When I mean everything like everything. He basically pryed it out of me. But I know everything about him too. He has 2 brothers and his mom died when he was 9. We ended up having a lot in common and I like him even more.

A few hours pass by and we are leaving the mall. Today was great because I got the chance to get to know my new friends better!! With Normani and Carissa we are basically sisters now. I think us and Jenna and Briana would get along so well.

We are in the car and they are dropping me off first. I'm sitting next to Normani and Ryan.
"Hey let me give you my number" Normani Says.
Normani😴😛 is what she put herself as.
Me too give me ur phone Ryan says. HEHEHEHE thanks Normani!!
Ryan😍😉 is what he put himself as. HEHEHEH thanks Normani!!
"Cool Thanks" I say.
The rest of the car ride was silent. I got home a few minutes later to my mom making dinner. I did some hw to get it done with and then we all ate dinner. My mom didn't bring up today thank god because I don't need my brothers to know yet.

After dinner I changed into my pjs and was just relaxing when I got a text.
Ryan😍😉: hey cutie! It's Ryan.
I didn't see it at first because I was putting away my clothes. Nick walks into my bedroom and sees my phone with Ryan's name on it...
