Even though it's just after 11:30 the mall is packed with people. Mrs. Hart, Lindsay and I head to Forever 21 to buy some jewelry first. We spend about 20 minutes of roaming Forever 21 before finally picking out about 8 items of jewelry. 4 for Lindsey, 2 for me and 2 for mrs. Hart. We spend another 30 minutes in Forever 21 looking for clothing.

Since Forever 21 has really cute clothes, we end up walking up out with 3 bags, one for each of us. So far we've spent over $300 but the Harts are filthy rich and don't care about spending money. So when they invite you shopping and say they'll pay for everything you don't say no. But I'm not a gold digger.

We make our way through American Eagle, Brandy Melville, Nordstrom, Nike, Champion, Adidas, Pink, Calvin Klein, Urban Outfitters, Victoria's Secret, Abercrombie and Fitch and Sephora. By the time we're done shopping it's after 5 in the evening. We spent over $10,000 today but nobody seems to notice or care. We picked up some stuff for Jason, Mr Hart and my mom. The back seat and trunk are packed with shopping bags and Lindsey and I don't hesitate to take pictures of them to brag on social media.

About 30 minutes later we pull up to the driveway of Lindsey's house. Her mom parks in the garage and the three of us start taking out all the bags we can. We pile the bags in the living room once we're done.

"Woah! OK I don't what's going on but this is way too many shopping bags for three women," a voice says behind the pile of bags.

We all turn to see Jason trying to maneuver his way through the sea of bags. He's shirtless, again, or he might've just not put on a shirt since we were gone. I'm not complaining at all though. His sweatpants, now a different pair, are now much higher on his waist. Sadly.

"You know two of these bags are for you," his mom tells him.

"Really? Great. Where are they?" He says excitedly.

"Oh, now you dont have a problem. You're a real girl; did you know that?" Lindsey scoffs behind me.

Jason rolls his eyes at her and looks at his mom eagerly.

His mom smiles at him before rummaging through the pile of bags and producing two marked with Jason's name in big, black letters.

He smiles and hugs her before rushing upstairs.

I shake my head and start rummaging through the pile for the bags marked with my name and my mom's name. Out of the 40+ bags I pull out all 13 of mine, which includes the two for my mom. I rush upstairs to try to fit as many bags as possible into the duffle I carried. I'm only able to fit two but that's an achievement either way.

I set the rest of the bags near my duffle and pick up my phone. I dial my mom's number. She picks up on the second ring.

"Where are you? You're supposed to be home before dinner?" She shouts into the phone, making me move it away from my ear.

I sigh before replying, "I know but I wanna stay another night. Can I please?"

"What's in it for me?" She asks slyly.

"Well, we went shopping today and I have two full bags just for you," I say into the phone.

I hear her squeal before clearing her throat and talking again.

"OK fine, you can stay one more night," she says.

"Thank you mom," I say excitedly before hanging up the phone.

I walk out of Lindsey's room to go tell her the good news, even though it's for the wrong reasons, and see Jason leaning on the wall right outside the door. He's wearing one the shirts we bought him.
