FROM: Nash

:) miss you too...

Oh gosh. This is going to bother me the rest of the day. What could he possibly want to talk to me about? We haven't hung out or talked much, so he couldn't possibly be mad at me. Or is that why he's mad at me? Because we don't talk very much...

Thoughts like these continue to swirl through my head. And suddenly I'm really nervous for tonight. I'm cut out of my thoughts when my phone rings. It's Kelly.

"Hey Kel"

"Sierra! Are you doing anything today?" she asks perkily, as usual.

"Nope. What do you have in mind?"

"Shopping!" she screams excitedly.

I groan, "Ugh. Kelly, you know how much money I don't possess and how many clothes I do. Why do we need to shop?" silence.

"Because.... I-it's the beginning of summer! Every girl needs new clothes at the beginning of summer!" she gushes. I roll my eyes and smirk.

"That's true. But there's still the whole money proble-"

"Don't worry! I'll pay for you" I laugh.

"Thanks, but you couldn't have waited for me to finish my sentence...?" I ask her with a smirk.

"Just get dressed! I'll be over in 30 minutes" she states and hangs up.

I get ready putting on shorts and a tanktop with my vans. Quickly brushing through my hair and applying makeup. As I'm finishing up, the doorbell rings. I figure one of my parents will get it, so I just finish getting ready. I grab my stuff needed for the mall and head downstairs. I round the corner and my mom and Kelly are in deep conversation. I can't hear what they're saying though, because they're whispering.

I clear my throat, "Ready to go?" Kelly nods and we walk out the door. The mall is pretty close to my house, so we just walk.

"So, what stores do you want to go to?" Kelly asks me.

"I don't know. You're the one that wanted so badly to go shopping" I tell her.

"True, but today we're shopping for you" she grins. I furrow my eyebrows.

"And why is that?" I question her.

"You'll see" she says quietly, but I still hear her. I'm about to ask her what she means by that, but she cuts me off before I can. She squeals, "We're here! Where do you want to go first?" I grin at her excitement.

"Surprise me" her eyes instantly light up and she grabs my hand pulling me inside. We run past a few stores, then enter Forever 21. She drags me to a clothing rack and begins digging through it pulling out items of clothing here and there. She stops and shows me what she picked. Three tanktops: one light blue with lace on the back, a purple yellow and teal Aztec print, and a bright pink and white chevron. I nod in approval and we continue looking around. Kelly stops in front of a swimsuit rack and begins digging through it.

"What are you doing?" I ask her confused. "I already have a bikini, besides we don't need them that much here"

She sighs, clearly irritated that I keep questioning her, "Just trust me" I raise an eyebrow at her.

"Fine" I say and cross my arms. De continues looking through the rack, but a few moments later stops. Her eyes grow as wide as her smile and she makes the "Aha!" noise.

"This one's perfect" she smiles showing me a bandeau style bikini. It's a bunch of different colors in a tribal pattern. It's actually really cute so I smile at her and nod. We decide to go to a different store so we buy the clothes and leave.
