Tough Love

Chapter three

I woke up and looked at the time, 7:30. Crap! I was going to be late for school. After I quickly got dress, I ran down stairs. Everyone stared at me like I was crazy. "Whats going on that your up already? You usually don't get up till 12:00 at the earliest." My mom said. "I have school...." I said, confused and dazed, not understanding why she thought I would still be asleep on a school day. "Um, its Saturday, smart one." Hunter said, laughing along with Jia. I felt my cheeks heat up with embarrassment. "Oh... whats for breakfast then?" I asked, changing the subject. "Chocolate chip waffles." My dad said, handing me a plate with about 4 waffles. "Thanks!" I started to dig in. When I was about done, Brad texted me.

Brad: Hey! :)
Me: Helloooo :)
Brad: Do you have any plans for today? :)
Me: Nope. Why, you want to go do something?
Brad: Yes. I was thinking we could go to the mall or something.
Me: Yeah, sure! :)
Brad: Great! I'll pick you up in 15 minutes :)
Me: Okay, I'll be waiting outside.
Brad: ok. :)

I finished my breakfast off, put my plate in the sink and ran upstairs to my room and grabbed my coat and purse. I run back down stairs. "Bye, LOVE YOU!" I yell running out the door. One minute later, Brad pulls up. I crawl in and peck him on the cheek. He pulls away and we head to the mall. "So which store first?" I ask him. "Hot topic!" He grins from ear to ear. "YUS!" I grin even bigger. He grabs my hand and we run to it, people staring at us. We go in and we look around. When we're done, I got a new studded belt, lip, tongue, belly, and ear piercings. He got a few bracelets and T-shirts. Next we walk into a beauty shop so I could get some new makeup because I was almost out. While I was grabbing what I want, Brad came up behind me and wrapped his arms around me. "I think you should dye your hair brown. I think it would be gorgeous on you." He whispered in my ear. "But I like my blue hair." I said. "Yeah, but you'll look prettier with brown." He said. I shook my head no. He gave me puppy dog eyes. "Pwease, for me?" He said in his baby voice. "FINE!!!" I gave in. I walked to where the hair dye was. "What about this one?" I held up a box. "No, to dark." He said. "But I like this one." I said. "No you don't. You like this one." He said looking me deep in he eye the holding up a box of light brown hair dye. I grabbed the box and he smiled. We went up to the counter. As I was pulling my money out, he stopped me. "No, I got it." He said smiling. "Thanks." I smiled back and kissed him on the cheek. Next, he pulled me into a clothing store. "I think you'd look pretty in this." He held up a white crop top and a pink skirt. I just sighed and spaced out. When he was finally done picking out a whole new wardrobe, I finally spoke. "I don't really like any of these. Its just not my stye." I said nicely. "Well, it is now. If you want to date me, you need to fit in with the populars. Plus, you will look beautiful in all these." He said. I just sighed again. "Okay, if you say so." I mumble a little. "And I do." He walked up to the counter and paid for everything. After another hour or so of goofing off and playing in the arcade, we finally decided to go home. Which I really didn't want to because I was having fun in the arcade. When we finally got back to my house, I gave him a kiss and hug and thanked him for everything. I got out and carried everything in and up to my room. After I had everything put away, my mom came in. "So where did you go?" My mom asked, folding her arms against her chest. "I went shopping with a friend." I said. I haven't exactly told her I had a boyfriend yet. She saw the hair dye on my bed. "Your finally dyeing your hair a different color?" She asked. "Yeah. I thought it was time for a change." I said. She just smiled. "Okay. Well, I'm going to go cook dinner now. I'll talk to you later." She said turning and walking away. I walked into Jia's room. "Hey. Can you help me dye my hair?" I asked her. She nodded and came and helped. When it was all done and blowed dried, I looked in the mirror. Brad was right, I do look pretty with brown hair. I went downstairs and everyone complimented my hair. After supper I went back up to my room and took a picture and sent it to Brad. He replied back saying that he told me it would look gorgeous on me. I just smiled and texted him the rest of the night like usual.
