My New Life

Chapter 4- the mall

I couldn't fall asleep, I kept tossing and turning thinking about my family. I miss them so much, I didn't realize I was crying until I felt my T-shirt. I missed them so much, and I wish I can go back to the way it was in New York. They were my everything. New York was my home with my family and friends, now I'm in a unknown place all alone. I kept crying and then I saw the sun come up. I didn't realize I was awake the whole night. I tried sleeping again. I eventually fell asleep, and it felt nice. I woke up around 2pm. I was really hungry so I went downstairs. I didn't see anyone so I tried finding something in the kitchen.

"Oh miss Alexis let me make you something" the chef said

"Oh thank you" I said

"So what do you want" he asked

"Umm could I have chocolate chip waffles" I asked nicely

"Of course" he said

He made the breakfast and I devoured it within minutes. Those were good waffles, but it reminded me of my dad. A single tear drop fell but I quickly wiped it. It still hurts, but I have to keep moving. I went back to my room and Andrew knocked on my door.

"Hey Alexis you need anything?" He asked

"Um if you don't mind could we go to the mall, my makeup and skincare products got ruined and I need new ones, I mean if you don't mind" I said

"Yeah of course, let me get ready" he said

"Ok, I need to get ready too" I said

I walked into the bathroom, and took a shower, I did my routine and put on clothes. I put leggings and a brandy Melville tank top. It wasn't too hot in LA but it wasn't freezing cold either. I put some concealer and mascara. I put my favorite high tops and grabbed my mini backpack and my wallet. I walked downstairs waiting for Andrew.

He finally came downstairs and eyed me.

"Umm what are you wearing" Andrew said

"Leggings and a tank top" I said confused

"Put a jacket on" he said stern

"But I'm not cold and it's not revealing anything" I said mad

"That top is revealing, either change or grab a jacket" he said loudly

"Ok fine, you're annoying" I mumbled

I went upstairs and grabbed a jacket, I went back downstairs.

"Better for you" I said annoyed

"Yeah much better" he said happily

I went to his car and I was still annoyed because literally nothing was showing

"You know I was just protecting you, making sure no one is gonna check you out" he said

"Yeah whatever" I said

"Hey don't give me that attitude" he said sternly

"Whatever" I mumbled

The car was silent, and the ride there was boring. We first reached the uniform store. I got out and went inside.

"So you need a skirts, school sweatshirt, and shirts" Andrew said

"Ok well let's go get them" I said

I tried on some skirts to see which fits on me. I tried the first one

"Nope too short" he said

"But this one fits in the hips and isn't too long" I whined

"I don't care it too short"

I tried on the next one but it was too loose on my hips and right above my knee
