After talking to Tom I finished eating and started walking. As for the bags of clothes and another thing I bought I made a backpack out of it and just carried it like that.

Man, I just walked 10 minutes and I'm already tired. I mean walking over rocks home isn't a very comfortable or the best way of getting home. I have fallen twice in the last 10 minutes. From where we live the mall is very far away by foot. And the way to get there is very bumpy. By car, there might be a couple bumps here and there, but by foot your not on the road or street. You're on the side of the road. Where it's not paved.

These last couple of minutes I have been cursing my friends and there timing for the movies. I mean it's not even mid-day. Like bro for real. I could deal with them ditching me but at least leave me at home. Where I could have been doing something. Like catching up on this mornings sleep. Wait up- did they wake me up for nothing like. Damn, I woke up so damn early yet we did nothing. We shopped for a couple of hours, I ate alone. Shopped alone for about 30 minutes and then I walked 5 miles back home.

What a day. After this, I'm never going shopping with them. EVER. I don't remember the road being this stressful. Halfway home I see this cafe thing. I go towards it and head in. I order a juice and a sandwich. I sit in a corner and put my head down. My feet are killing me and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get bruises. After half an hour of rest, I get back up I stretch and walk out to finish my walk.

When I get home I ran inside to the smell of pasta. I love Italian. I feel so tired I don't even want to eat.

"I'm home, and I brought gifts," I yell into the house.

"Me first, I'm the favorite. " Alex screamed running downstairs.

"You wish, I made food," Jackson screams running from the kitchen.

Once they see me their eyes go wide.

"what the fudge happened to you."-Alex

"you look like crap"-Jack

"Well thank you. I had asked the stylist to make me look like trash." I said sarcastically.

"It looks like you went through a hurricane and back then through a tornado," Lexi said still looking at my appearance.

"Well I fell a couple times getting home, then I had an animal chase me and then I fell in a bush and blah, blah, blah. whatever. I brought gifts," I say holding up the bags.

"Didn't you go with your friends to the mall," he says while grabbing his bag.

"Yeah, but they had to go early." I try to lie, though it's not really a lie they did have to go. He gives me an 'I don't believe you look'. "The guys gave us a surprise visit to the mall, I was shoved into a random store so they wouldn't see me then they had to go with them to the movies. So I basically had to walk home."

"Isn't the mall like 5 miles from here," Alexandra decides to but-in while she looks at her new clothes.

"Yeah," I say taking my stuff out the bags.

"You walked 5 miles home. Falling, running, and other things for how long?" Jack asked.

"Well I left the mall like at 1:00 and got here around," I check my watch," 4:00. But, it took long because of the stops I had to make. "

"Why didn't you call us?"

"You were busy and Alex for obvious reasons can't pick me up," I say in a duh tone. "Anyways I gotta put this away and shower."

I run upstairs to my room and leave my stuff on my room. I grab my under clothes and walk into my bathroom. Before I closed my door I caught my reflection in the mirror and screamed.
