Oh hi there! This is a good chapter... ;)

We finally enter the mall, approaching the large map. Payton stands directly behind me, hands on my hips, and Griffin has his arm around Daisy. I tap to the Forever 21 with my nail aggressively.

"Okay, we get it!" Payton laughs, grabbing my hand.

"Yeahhh, Forever 21!!" Daisy squeals, tapping Griff's chest. Payton and Griffin look at each other and back at the map.

"I mean, yeah." Griffin shrugs. I shoot myself to face Payton, a confused look on my face.

"You guys are totally doing something stupid..." I say, hands on my hips.

"Nothing! Now let's go." Payton kisses me, turning me around. He pushes me forwards.

While waiting in the check-out line of Foot Locker, I get a call. As I pull my phone out, Daisy yells my name across the store. She could be so loud sometimes... but I love her so it's okay :)

"APRIL!! Look at these shooeeesssss!!" She squealed.

"One second!" I say, turning back to my phone. It was Zoe, so I pick up.

"Hey Zoe! What's up?" I say.

"April, you haven't called me in like, a week." She complains.

"I called you a few days ago.." I correct her.

"It doesn't matter, you never call me!"

"I've just been super busy." I say.

"Doing what? Hanging out with your 'new friends'?"

"That's so not true! I've been modeling, the reason I'm on this trip!"

"So what are you doing now?"

I quickly look around, attempting to come up with an excuse.

"I'm at the mall.." I admit.

"With who?"

"With some friends!"

"Probably Payton." She scoffs.

My heart began to race. I forgot she had a crush on Payton... IM DATING HIM.

Holy shit, this is going to get bad when I get back..

"Hello? You still there?"

"Yes, I'm here with Payton. But It's not just him, okay?"

"Whatever." She says, hanging up the phone. I wanted to scream, how could she be like this? I've done nothing and she's angry.

I place a hand over my face, placing my phone in my pocket. Suddenly, I feel a hand on my shoulder.

"Babe, you okay?" Payton looked concerned.

"Not really." I sigh.

"Tell me." He says, tilting my head upwards to face him.

"It's Zoe. She's been acting so jealous lately... when she called a few minutes ago, it was only to complain that I don't call. I've been busy! What doesn't she get?" I whine.

"Give her time, baby." He kisses my forehead.

"But it doesn't end there, she still has a crush on you! How am I supposed to tell her we're together?! This is a mess, I don't want to lose her." I feel hot tears fill my eyes, but I'm capable of holding them back.

Payton only wraps his arms around me, rubbing my back. I sigh as he releases me.

"April, your on vacation. Stop stressing!" He says. I smile, squeezing the shoe box I was holding, "I'll be right back. Griffin needs help choosing a shoe." He says, making his way back over to Griff. Soon, Daisy approaches me with a smile spread across her face.
