My dad left shortly after, I sat up, rubbing my face and blinking blearily. Sunlight was streaming through the window and filling the whole room. I'm so happy my dad made me stay home today. I have no idea what to do though.

I started the day by taking a bath and brushing my teeth.

After I was finished I sat on my bed thinking about what to do maybe I should clean my room. That would take my mind off things for a while.

There was a soft knock on my door.

"Want some hot cocoa and pancakes" Cyntia asked as she pushed open the door. She had a tray with a mug of hot cocoa, a plate with two pancakes, two bottles with whipped cream and syrup.

I got up taking the tray from her and going to my desk. She sat on my bed twirling her hair.

"So how are you feeling?" she asked. I shrugged stuffing my mouth with pancakes.

"You know what I do when I'm going through stuff" she said with a smile "I go shopping so that's what we're gonna do today."

"No I'm good" I replied.

"Come on please, I promise you'll feel better after" she said looking sad.

"Okay fine" I said with a sigh.

She jumped up giggling like a school girl that just heard that her crush liked her back. She finally settled down and walked out of my room to get ready.

I finished eating and brought everything to the kitchen. I washed them then jogged up to my room to get dressed.

I matched couple outfits then try them on to see which looked best. Lies I put on the first thing I saw which was leggings and a white hoodie with a white adidas shoes.

I sat looking through Instagram while waiting for Cyntia.

1 hour later

Cyntia finally stepped out in a red sleeveless dress that showed her curves and a black slippers. Her makeup was well done. It wasn't too much nor too little, It was perfect. Her straight black hair was flowing perfectly down her back unlike my hair that's in a loose ponytail.

The drive to the mall was quiet, it wasn't long before we reach though.

Hundreds of different stores, overpriced hoodies,waiting in line, teenagers walking around texting, taking pictures and laughing with friends. As I got out of the car I casually walk behind Cyntia. The graceful doors slide open and I take my first step into the mall.

Cyntia squealed and pulled me into one of the stores. She started taking different clothes and giving them to me. She started with a black leather jacket holding it up in front of me. The black leather jacket is cute but heavy looking. She gave it to me along with a black high waist ripped jeans and a white tank top with the word baddie written on it. It was a good outfit but I don't think I have the courage to wear it.

She gave me shorts, blouses, dresses, jeans and leggings pairing them together then pushing me into the dressing room.

Well that was expected.

I tried on one after another twirling everytime I came out. She would either clap, nodding her head like crazy or she would give me a thumbs down. It was kinda fun and it took my mind off things.

I was deciding on what else to try on when a sexy black bodycon off-shoulder dress caught my attention. I quickly pulled it over my head and looked in the mirror. I was surprised the girl in the mirror looking gorgeous. This dress was too short, not something that I would wear. I pulled out my hair letting it fall on my back. The dress showed curves I didn't realize I had. I just stared in the mirror with my mouth opened.

"Hurry up" Cyntia yelled from outside the door. I pushed one leg out and peeked outside. It was only Cyntia, thank God. I stepped out twirling. She started giving me compliments and pretending to be a guy.

I laughed modeling in front of her and flipping my hair. Then I heard a loud whistle. I turned quickly to see Hailey.

"Well who's the hot girl in the black dress?" she asked Cyntia.
