too good to be true ⇢ [ Brandon Arreaga }

three

I groggily open my eyes as I'm being shaken so suddenly. I see Madison's shadow against my bedroom window. "wake up y/n! beautifying takes time!"

i get up from my bed to take one of my pillows and slap her in the face because she called me ugly in a nicer way. she pulls me by the arms forcing me to get out of bed.

madison lists a bunch of 'errands' that we are doing to get ready for the prettymuch party

- get our nails done

- buy some cute fits

- buy new makeup

the both of us got dressed to go shopping at the mall. my outfit was pretty casual yet cute considering I just moved to LA less than 12 hours ago, i had no one to impress. surprisingly we didn't uber, madison drove the both of us to the mall in her white jeep and it took at least 30 minutes.

we hop out of the jeep and walk inside the outside mall.

madison stops at the first store she recognizes.

she points at the bright pink store that reeks of perfume "VICTORIA SECRET!"

"what do you need from here?"

she drags me inside "it's not for me.. it's for you"

we stroll around the store until madison brings us to a stop. i look up at what she found. Lingerie.

"if i recall my undergarments are in perfect shape, i dont have a reason to buy any."

as i end my sentence, madison bursts laughing. i look back at her with an awkward face.

"are you dumb or are you dumb" she questions. "i can feel the chemistry between you and brandon"

i roll my eyes "it's called being friends? you know we grew up together because our families are really close back in texas."

"right" she smirks and picks up a lace bra. "i don't know y/n this will look cute on you, it doesn't even have to be for brandon. it can be just something cute to buy for yourself."

i gave in knowing madison will not stop nagging at me to buy the bra and she secretly put in the matching underwear to go with it as we were checking out. We walk out of victoria's secret and right across the store is urban outfitters. over the years my style has changed often, the boys have definitely has influenced my style the past months.

this sounds lame but i save a bunch of pictures of different outfits that give me inspiration whenever i go shopping. I open my 'photos' app and pull up my 'fits' album. i peek around the store looking for clothes that are similar to the picture.

i grab madison who was sitting outside the fitting room so that we can check out and finish our errands before I die of boredom.

i start to doze off in the car. my phone starts vibrate & i check to see my mom is calling.
