Not So Different

Chapter 11 - Hi There Stranger

[A/N: Hi there! Sorry it's been so long! Track conditioning just started up and it's hard. I can only bench the regular bar haha! I hope you enjoy, happy reading! :)]

"Elsa wake up! Ellllllllssssaaaaaaaaaa waaaaaaake uuuuuuupppppppp," Anna whines while shaking me awake.

I sit up abruptly and look at the clock. It's 2am. Why the frick is she waking me up this early on a Sunday?

"Anna," I say, rubbing my eyes. "You do realize that it's 2am on a Sunday and that I kinda want to sleep in."

"Yeah I do, but, but the phone keeps ringing and there are noises outside," she says with a pouting face.

I sigh.

"Okay kiddo, get in the bed - only if you go to sleep, okay?"

Anna squeals in delight. She climbs into the bed and nestles against me like a cat. Eh, it's not so bad. Slowly my eyelids close and I drift off to sleep.

----

"Anna! If you want to have a girl's day you need to be downstairs in the next five minutes," I yell.

What could she possibly be doing?

"I'm coming! I'm coming! I'm coming," Anna chants as she runs down the stairs.

"Come on then, we gotta get a move on because I can't drive so we need to walk."

Anna begins to carp about how I should break the rules and just drive. Well, yeah I would totally do that, but I have a child with me so what happens if I crash? You know what, maybe I can make a bad choice here and there. I've been a good girl all my life. Plus, I know how to drive because I'm a year older than most freshmen so why not?

"Fine, Anna. Hop into Sherry."

Sherry is what my dad named his navy blue Jeep. He said that I could have the car on my sixteenth birthday. He passed away a while ago, so I think I can use the car now? Maybe?

I grab the keys out of the cup holder in Sherry and drive out of the garage. Anna sits happily next to me in the passenger seat. Okay, I can do this.

"Where do you want to go first," I ask her.

She puts a finger to her chin.

"I wanna go to the mall."

Okay, phew. The mall is only a few minutes away.

----

"Aren't you happy Anna? We made it here a alive!"

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Let's go. I need to hit up some stores."

We end up hitting every store that has anything "cute" looking in the window. I got some stuff I guess. Anna is more into trying on clothes and not buying anything.

"Hey I'm getting hungry. Come on, I need food," I say.

"No, no, we have to go to Hollister and Bath & Body Works!"

"Anna, it's been three hours. I'm going to go get orange chicken, okay?"

I stride over to Panda Express and begin to look at what sides I want.

Someone taps me on the shoulder.

I turn around. Standing before me is none other Daniel.

"Hi there stranger," he says with a smile.
