seven

pov: mae's

time: 1:00 pm

location: the mall


after walking around the mall for what seems like years, we eventually find something to wear. we are finally satisfied and call talia to come pick us up. waiting outside of the mall we see the familiar black car as talia pulls up in front of us.

"get in!" she says, poking her head out of her wound down window.

i open the door and riley goes round the other side. sinking into the leather seats, i begin to feel the ache in my legs.

"what took you guys so long?" talia turns around and looks at us before starting the engine.

"we needed an outfit for that party we're going to tonight," riley sounds exasperated.

"ohhhh..." talia drifts off.

riley and i giggle to ourselves and begin to talk about our schedule of when we are going to start getting ready and when we need to leave.

"before i forget..." riley drifts off looking at her sister.

"yesss..."

"could you drop us off please?"  riley looks at talia with her puppy dog eyes.

"ugh, anything else ur majesty?"

"nope, that's it!" riley smiles at talia who looks at her younger sister.

if only i had an older or even younger sibling.

*****

after hours of getting ready i begin to wonder if it's worth it. jake will probably never notice me and even if he does he definitely won't like what he sees. anyways, we probably won't even be let in.

"what's wrong?" riley looks at me with a furrowed brow.

"nothing, i'm just a bit nervous," i admit, shrugging my shoulders complacently.

"it'll be fine!" now turn that frown upside down!" riley flashes me with her pretty smile, the one that gets all the guys drooling.

we get up and stand in front of riley's full length mirror, admiring our outfits and what the makeup and hair has done for our appearance.

"we look great!" i squeeze her hand in excitement.

"no, we look beutiful, you especially."

"ugh, says you!"

i look at the short black ruffle skirt and white spaghetti strap crop top i am wearing. basic, but it looks good. riley went with the dress version of my skirt and she looks gorgeous as hell. our faces have both been beaten to the gods and our hair has received some styling and effort for once.

"guys! are you ready or what?" talia yells at us from the driveway.

"coming!" riley yells back.

we grab our phones and meet talia out in the driveway.

*****

arriving at the house, we are immediately met by the booming noise of music.

"call me when you are finished!" talia yells at us as we get out of the car.

"wait, aren't you coming in?" riley looked at her with a confused glance.

"parties aren't my thing," she shrugs and drives off before we can argue anymore.

"welp i guess we are by ourselves then," riley looks at me with her classic cheeky grin.

we walk up to the steps, and i see the flashing lights through the window.

"do we knock?" i ask.

"nooo." riley opens the door and submerges into the crowd, grabbing my hand and dragging me in with her...
