I pulled my hair back into a slick ponytail as I got ready to go to the mall.

It was just me, Diamond and Zo. Ming and Mina left earlier. Once I was done, I sent a text to my dad, asking for money for the mall.
Papa 🧔🏽 How much you need? 2:15PM
I glanced down at my phone and smiled before replying.
Me Idk. 200? 2:16PM
I put my shoes on and tied them. My phone vibrated again.
Bank Checking Deposit posted for 200.00 2:25PM
Papa 🧔🏽 Get it? 2:30PM
Me Yes. Thanks. Love you! 2:31PM
I locked my phone and put it in my pocket. Diamond walked in the room with a big bag of chips in her hand.
"Ya'll ready?" She asked
"Yep." I grabbed my phone and walked out the room. "We going to Short Hills, right?"
"You know it. Been trying to get there for forever." Diamond sighed
"What mall is that?" Zo asked as we got into Diamond's mom's car.
"A big mall in New Jersey. Got all the expensive stores in it." I answered. "It's like a hour away though."
"A hour? Girl bye."
"I bet we get there in 35 minutes. 40 at the most." Diamond started the car
"Oh hell no. Let me buckle up right now." He quickly grabbed the seatbelt and put it on.

We made it to the mall about 10 minutes ago. I came into Lush to get some more bath bombs and hand lotion.
"Let's stop in here. I need some new forces." I walked into Footlocker
I looked through the shoes on the wall. A pair of puma shoes caught my eye and I had to have them.
"Can I help you with anything?" A worker walked over to me.
"Yea. Can I get both of these in a size 6?" I handed him the forces and pumas.
"Sure. I'll be right back."
I sat down on the bench and waited. A loud squeal caused me to look towards the back of the store. I spotted Dave sitting down with Kairi. There were shoe boxes stacked up beside them.
"Dave is back there." I leaned over to Diamond
She looked around the store then gasped before turning to look at me. "Go speak."
