Mother banged on the door again. "Open the door, Mona!" She yelled.

I looked at Nikki. She nodded and I got up to let Mother in. Mother pushed right through me to Nikki. When she saw the tattoo, Mother turned back to me with an evil stare.

"What the hell did you do to my precious baby?" She screamed.

I crossed my arms and said, "I don't know what you're talking about." I spoke calmly and that made her even more mad.

"You bitch!" Mother yelled and ran up to me getting ready to slap me.

Suddenly everyhting was in slow motion. I could see every pore on Mother's skin. I could smell the adrenaline comming off of her in waves. I could hear her hand slicing through the air. Just as her hand was two centimeters from my face, I grabbed it. I squeezed until I heard Mother let out a yelp. I let go and walked over to where Nikki sat on the bed. She gave me a high five. Mother left, craddeling her hand against her chest. I burst out in laughter and so did Nikki. We turned on "Break Your Little Heart" and got ready. I was taking us to Macaroni grill to celebate.

Nikki got in the shower as I stood in my bra and underwear looking through my closet. I decided to wear my black acid rinse skinny jeans, a white speghetti strap, and my leather jacket I bought from Hollister a few days ago. I put everything on except the jacket. Nikki walked in then.

"We have a crisis!" She said in a shrill voice.

I looked over at her. She had grown so that she was as tall as me. Her black her grew from its short bob so that it hit her mid-back. Her baby brown eyes were now an electric blue. I gasped and put my hand over my mouth and Nikki followed suit.

"Meme! Your eyes! I mean, they are still green but more of a seafoam color and really really bright!" Nikki walked closer to me. She still had a big black towel wrapped under her arms.

"It must be a side effect from being Marked." I said softly.

Nikki nodded. "Nothing fits me now. I need new clothes and if I'm going to have long hair, I want a different cut." She said.

"Yeah. I agree. You can borrow something of mine for today. Tomorrow we can go shopping and get your hair done." I said nodding to my closet.

"Yay! More shopping!" Nikki said with a huge smile on her face. She raced to my closet and got real serious.

"By the way, I talked to Principal Amorae. She said a driver would be here at 9:00am sharp on Wednesday to pick us up and get us supplies for school and then bring us there." I told Nikki.

"Okay, cool." She said in a monotone.

I sighed and got my straightener from my bed. I plugged it into my bathroom wall. A little Black envelope caught my eye. I picked it up and flipped it open. There was two credit cards in it. One had my name and the other had Nikki's name. There was alos a note. I unfolded it and read.

"I figured you two would go shopping before your driver got there. These are from our school. They have no limit and we will pay them off. ~Principal Amorae~"

I laughed and continued to straighten my hair. I finished my hair in ten minutes and continued to do my make up. I put on a little eyeliner and silver mascara. I went into my room and Nikki was throwing things around. She had on her silver and red Nike high tops, gray skinny jeans, and her bra.
