Great. They've bought the tickets, without me knowing. I don't know how to break it up to them and tell them that I'm not really excited, nor I have a tad of interest in that bloody concert. But I've basically made a promise. "Don't let them down, Zoe." I thought to myself. "Just smile and wave, Zoe. Smile and wave." I looked at Naomi and Hailey. Smiled, and then.. Apparently, waved. They looked quite confused. "Wait, no. Just smile. No waving." I thought. I put down my hand, placed it on my lap and just continued smiling at them. Trying to look that I'm actually happy, although I think it's going to more of a creepy side. I seriously can't focus because of the fact that my song is out there in wild place called 'the internet' and I believe that my soundcloud account was pretty much abandoned because I haven't been using it since the day I made it.. Which was, three years ago. I don't even remember putting my profile picture, or my real name in it. All I had was just a username that was a total crap.. 'heycallmezoe05' . Like, who still has usernames like that? Ew.

After we finished our meals, Hailey volunteered to do the washing-up in the kitchen. I thought that was very kind of her. Naomi and I decided to chill out in the living room. "So.. When is the concert?" I asked. "Oh, it's on this coming thursday." Yelled Hailey from the kitchen. "Is it?" I asked with confusion, "But today's tuesday!" "Uhuh" Naomi nodded. "Why didn't you dim wits inform me?" "Because we thought that you didn't really care" Replied Naomi. As I took a bottle of water, I said, "Blimey! I need time to prepare and look dashing!" Yes, even though I seem to not care about the concert, I very much do care about my appearance every time we go out and do something special. "Do you guys have anything to wear?" I asked with frustration. "Yup. All arranged" Hailey said, while finishing her cleaning up. "I seriously feel betrayed" I said with a grin, as I left the living room, hearing them giggle.

I spent most of the afternoon, in my room. Writing more songs, recording them, editing them, and so on. Now, I just felt exhausted because of all the strumming, drumming and singing. I stumbled out my room's door, to get to the living room and check what Naomi and Hailey were up to. "I thought you said that you were only spending one night in here." I giggled. "Do you both ever planned of going back to your places?" I noticed that they were playing twister. It's strange to be playing twister it this time of day. I looked at them, and tilted my head to the side. "What? We got bored" Said Naomi, with almost her whole body, inverted.

As I watched their bodies collapse to the ground, thus ending their game. "Who won?" I said jokingly. "Ha. Ha. Very funny." Replied Hailey "We'll be out of your flat in no time, alright?" "Ooooookay" I said with a smirk. "I'll have a busy day tomorrow, so thanks. Please bugger off soon"

After we cleaned up the twister mat and the other things, I escorted them to the door. "Alright. We'll see you on Thursday" Said Hailey. "We'll pick you up at 7!" Naomi yelled as they started walking furthur. I'm the youngest among both of them, so I always expect them to pick me up every time.

At last. A whole day for myself tomorrow. It's going to be a fine day.

The Next Day

Yes. Going to go shopping the whole day. Sweet.

I went to the kitchen and took some berries, nuts and milk for my breakfast. Then, I headed to toilet and took a quick shower. After that, I went back to my bedroom, and got changed. I chose to take out a tribal patterned crop top, and a denim high waisted shorts, since it is very hot outside. Put on my vans, and viola! Ready to shop til' I drop!

I went down to Oxford Street without hesitation. My first stop was Forever 21. Duhh. I got really lucky, because it wasn't very crowded when I got there. I kept buying almost everything that I saw, which I liked. I almost forgot that I still have many stores to go to. Then, after that sudden realisation, I got out of the shop and went to more shops I could go through. Such as, Zara, Topshop, American Aparrel and Urban Outfitters. All of them had a summer sale, so how lucky was I right?

While I was walking down the street, I saw a pair of adorable peach colored pumps in Marks and Spencer. However, the shop was jammed. There was a lot of people. I looked up, then I saw..

'Buy One Get Two Free!'

The arrow of the sign was pointing at the printed shirts in one aisle. Even though it was a small section of the whole shop, it still managed to attract so many people and made the whole shop very crowded.

As I was trying to get to the ladies section, I was almost suffocating because there were just too many people. I felt like I was swimming, because it felt like I was floating along with waves, without my control. Except here, the waves tends to push me around like a soccer ball, passing me around to more waves. The next thing I know, I had my forehead faced to the floor, and my shopping bags, scattered everywhere. I tried to crawl to get to every single shopping bag, when I suddenly saw a guy lifting them up, one by one from the floor. I thought he was going to steal it, so I yelled, "Hey, you. Excuse me?!" Unfortunately He didn't seem to hear me, so I figured that he maybe took it all already, and was probably going to give them to his girlfriend or something. "No, I couldn't let that happen" I thought. "I spent an awfully good time and price on that." So I tried to call the guy one more time. "Sorry, sir! Excu-" I was obligated to stop, when I saw a hand, reaching out to me. I looked at it's other arm, and I saw my shopping bags. He was holding all of it. When I managed to stand up, with his help, he said, "We've got to get out of here" "But the cute pumps..." I tried to tell him.

He took my hand, and dragged me to the exit. "Whoah, thanks a bunch." I said, trying to look at him, which was quite hard for me to do because he was wearing a pair of large sunglasses, and the collar of his shirt was unfolded, so it was almost touching his cheek bones. The only thing I could see clearly are his lips. He seemed to have a small hole at his bottom lip, as if there was suppose to be a ring hooked in it. I thought His fashion sense was really bad. His whole face was almost covered. It's like he doesn't even want to be seen by anyone. He was like a vampire.

He gave me my shopping bags back, gave me a thumbs up, and said, "Be careful next time." Then he just, left.

What a weird day. So I just thought of summing it all up by going back home, taking a nice long bath and eating my favorite Cookies and Cream flavored Ice Cream.
