"He doesn't know me! I don't know him! He just...found a letter...on the floor...with our address on it, yeah that's what happened." She said, trying to sound confident.
Being the not so bright human beings they were, Aria and Jade seemed to believe her, surprisingly. They all went to their rooms, Sophie eager to leave.

"I think this would look good on you. Oh but this would too! Ugh so many choices!"
The biggest mistake Sophie did that morning was tell Marella about my "date" with Keefe. Sophie and Marella were at the mall trying to find the right outfit for her. Well, Marella wanted to. Sophie just wanted to go home.
"Marellaaa, I don't want to be here! I can just wear a T-shirt and jeans. I'm not going to a fancy restaurant or anything. Besides it's not a date, I'm just showing Keefe around New York."
"Sophie, darling. You are going 'out' with Keefe. Sencen. You need to look good, it's not a choice!" Marella said, dragging me inside a random store.
"Ugh fine. But can we only be here for an hour at the most?" Sophie begged.
"Honey, beauty takes time. And that is what we need!"
Marella gave Sophie an entire stack of clothing for her to try on. At that point Sophie knew there was no use of arguing with her.
⁂⁂⁂⁂
Sophie sighed and looked at herself in the mirror. Marella had just left a short moment before, and not after her curled Sophie's hair, did her makeup, and chose her outfit out of the many they bought yesterday.
And Sophie had to admit she didn't look bad.
She was wearing a baggy red, long sleeved top, and dark ripped high waist jeans. Her hair was curled and left down, reaching a little below her shoulder. Light blush covered her cheeks, along with some gold eyeshadow that made her golden flecks stand out.
She quickly adjusted her hair and decided she was ready to go.
⁂⁂⁂⁂
Sophie knew the easy part was done, but now came the hard part:
Getting out of the house without anyone noticing, and not hurting herself in the process.
She prayed that she wouldn't accidentally trip, but being her clumsy self that would be a lot to ask for.
She tip-toed down the staircase, careful not to make any noise. She looked both ways at the bottom before quietly speed walking to the front door. Hoping she was as quiet as she thought she was, Sophie opened the door and headed out.
Waiting patiently for her in his red sports car, Keefe sat there on his phone.
Sophie walked up to the window of the car and knocked. Keefe immediately looked up.
She waved, and he rolled down his window.
"Hey Foster!", he said winking.
Sophie rolled her eyes. "Don't push it Sencen. And can you unlock the door?"
"Oh yeah, sorry.", he pressed a button and the door clicked open. "Don't have to get so feisty, Foster" he teased.
Sophie ignored him, and got inside the car. She shut the door and they drove off.
