25 - shopping

"mom! i dont want a party! i just want daisy, michael & luke over with some pizza and thats it!" i groaned. just a second ago, she had just told me she had invited some family and family friends over for my 18th birthday. along with me having to wear a dress & music and more girly things that i dont wanna do for my 18th birthday.

"but you're turning eighteen! you're becoming an adult." she smiled as she was making a list of what she needed to get. "and im sure daisy will gladly help you pick out an outfit at the mall. here's 100." my mom put a hundred dollar bill in my hand. i pouted, walking up the stairs.

"im gonna use this to buy drugs!" i called as i made it to my room.

"yeah right." she laughed.

i picked up my phone from my bed, facetiming daisy. she answered, her face popping up on my screen. "hey, whats up?" she answered.

"do you wanna help me pick out a dress or something? my moms making me go dress shopping for a birthday party i didnt even know i was having." i groaned.

"sure! shall we invite clifford?" she asked.

"if you want, i dont think he'll have fun tho." i snorted.

"if crystal comes, im sure he'll have a blast."

and thats exactly what happened, daisy, michael, crystal & i all went to the mall. ive never really talked to her, but hear all about her from michael.

"so what are we looking for?" the purple haired girl smiled once we stepped foot in the cold, quiet mall.

"well, i just need a cute outfit or dress for my birthday, by the way, you all are invited to." i ran my fingers through my hair, scanning the place of stores that would have at least decent clothes.

"alright. maybe check forever 21 first?" crystal suggested, daisy nodding in agreement. i shrugged so we headed our way to the store. while we walked, michael and crystal walked together, fingers laced, looking cute as ever.

"daisy," i whispered, poking her shoulder. "whip your phone out and get cute ass photos of this." we both giggled, snapping photos of the couple, them not notcing at all.

a bunch of outfits later, i didn't find anything i liked at forever 21.

i let out a groan, sitting on one of the benches in the walkways. "i hate this so much. i didn't even want a birthday party." i pouted, folding my arms over my chest.

"well at least you get presents and money from family." michael giggled, poking my knee and giving me a little smile.

"also just because family is at the party doesn't mean you have to actually talk to them," daisy shrugged, sipping her starbucks drink. "we can go hide in a corner and play uno and get fat."

i laughed at the thought. "true, but also my mom might make me socalize with family, oof. being social? i dont know her."

"same," michael nodded.

"there's h&m still, leia." daisy said, pointing to the store on the right. "besides, they seem to be more your style anyways."

"true. lets go." i stood up and we headed over to the store. definitely h&m was more my style.

i had found three dresses i really liked but after trying them on i knew exactly which one i wanted. it was a black dress that had yellow wildflower all over it that was up to my midthigh. before i walked out to show them, i snapped a photo & sent it to luke.

'you like? gonna wear this for my stupid birthday party 🤪😒'

luke 💛: you look so hot princess i love it

i smiled at his message sending him a thank you before stepping out. "this is definitely the one."

"oooh girl you look hot." daisy smiled, wigging her eyebrows. michael gave a thumbs up & crystal said i looked really cute. after i changed back into my clothes & we went to go pay.

since i had a ton of money left over, i bought myself some cute heels & some makeup.

"guys im hungry. lets get some panda express." michael whined.

"HELL YES LETS GOOO!" i cheered, running out the store, speedily walking toward the food court.
