Woah this mall is huge and has plenty of brand names which is perfect for me.

I'm kind of bummed though, neither of my parents have called me yet. Whatever, I don't care.

It's 5 PM, I bought plenty of things, and because I have a uniform at school I only had to worry about shoes, perfume,
underwear, bra, purse, makeup, pyjamas and jewelry. Am I missing anything?

Oh and by the way my credit card is connected to my Dad's bank account, if you were wondering.

Here are some pics of some of my favourite things I bought:

I think I just need to find a wallet but it will have to wait, I'm too exhausted

I think I just need to find a wallet but it will have to wait, I'm too exhausted.I decide to go to Starbucks for a Caramel frappuchino, my fav. Every time I go to Starbucks I lie about my name, simply because I would really like to be named Ellie.

"A caramel frappuchino for Ellie!"

" Thank you!" , a tall brunette and I answer at the same time.

We give each other a confused look

" Oh! Go ahead, I think you ordered first anyway.", she kindly says.

I grab the drink and hand it to her.

" It's fine, I'm the one who stole your name."

" Wait, so your name is not Ellie?", she asks.

Before I can answer a waiter shouts, " A Caramel Frappuccino for Ellie!"

We both laugh.

" Are you here alone ?" , Ellie kindly asks.

"Yes"

" Perfect! Let's sit together!"

We sit at a table and we are facing each other.

" I'm Charlotte by the way"

" It's nice to meet you Charlotte!"

" I'm sorry if I stole your name, I've just... I have always wanted that name!"

She is laughing but I am dead serious.

" Don't worry about it, Charlotte is a beautiful name too"

I blush, no one has complemented me in so long.

" So what school do you go to?"

" I have no idea, I just got here today actually and I am starting school on Monday."

"That's so cool, where are you from"

"San Jose", I answer shortly and coldly, I think she got the hint and changes the subject.

Ellie and I talk for about an hour and she checks the time.

" Shit! My little brother has a soccer game in ten minutes and I promised him I would be there."

I wish I had the same problems.

We exchange phone numbers even though I'm changing my phone number soon but we both have IPhones so I'll text
her when I have WIFI.

We hug each other and I head to my car.I really like Ellie but there is something about her that bothers me. I don't know why I feel this way but she is really nice to me so I have nothing to complain about.

Once I get back to the house, it's almost 7 PM. I lazily walk to the front door carrying all of my shopping bags and I open the door.
Jess showed me earlier the door to my room and gave me my key (because yes, in this house we can lock our bedroom
door) but I haven't seen the inside yet. The house has about 5 guests rooms and apparently Jess gave me the biggest.
I struggle going up the stairs when a deep voice startles me.

"Do you need help with that?"

I look up to see a pair of dark blue eyes staring down at me.

" No thanks", I say confidently.

I lift my right leg up with the intention of taking a step but instead, I trip on one of my bags and fall on my hip. And let me remind you, I'm still on the stairs!

A rich chuckle fills the air and I start to blush. Quick! I have to say something!

" Well don't just stand there, help me!", I snap.

He tries to keep a straight face but I can detect a hint of a grin.

" You must be Charlotte."

Will mentioned me?

" Yup, are you friends with Will?" , I ask while unlocking my bedroom door. The room is very nice, a little smaller than my old one but I am satisfied. There is a huge walk-in closet, a king sized bed with silk sheets covering it, a large desk and I can already imagine the vanity that I will install. The only disadvantage is that there is no bathroom connected to my room.

I get so carried away that I almost forget the dude that carried my shopping bags.

" Yeah, we were actually watching a football game downstairs if you want to join."

" Uh... I don't usually watch football but after I get changed I'll come downstairs and say hi to my cousin"

" Sounds good", he smiles.

He has a pretty smile, oh and he has dimples!! Before he caches me staring I thank him and close the door.

Once I close the door I let out the breath I didn't even know I was holding.

Aaah PRESSURE! Now I definitely have to wear something nice!!
