"Nushi, wake up"
Hmmm Layla?
"NUSHI WAKE UP"
"GOD DAMN, WHAT DO YOU WANT?"
Well I'm wide awake now, I glance over and Layla and roll my eyes, I then look at the alarm clock next to my bed.. 7 am? I'm so tired
"Why are you yelling at me to wake up, Layla?"
"Just wanted to thank you for breakfast hehe, I'm also going out to the mall.. Can you come? Pleaseee?"
"Ugh fine, did you take a shower? Brush your teeth?"
"I'm 15, and you're not my mom"
"Ok jeez, I'll be in the shower, and then we can leave"
"YAY OK"
I know I said she barely leaves her room but theres the very rare occasion she goes to the mall with me and spends my money.. She makes a heart with her hands and then skips out of my room. I lay my head back down on my pillow and think about going back to bed again.. but I decide to get up anyway. I open the top drawer to my dresser and pull out a pair of boxers..hmm what should I wear anyway?
I grab a tight crop top, which goes just above my belly button, and then I grab a belt and pair of baggy Jean's. The crop top is black and the Jean's are also black but the stitches are red. I walk into the bathroom and turn the hot on first, I shut the door and set my clothes on the counter and start taking off my XXL shirt and boxers, I get in and start washing my hair. The waters a little to hot but it feels relaxing.. I then wash my body and rinse, I turn the shower off and get out. I quickly dry off and get dressed. I personally love this outfit. Anyway, I walk back into my room and grab a pair of socks and my shoes.
Finally ready to go, I go into the living room and motion to my sister to follow, we go out into our front yard and start walking towards the street. The mall isnt to far from my house, or else I wouldve drove.. Laylas wearing a short flowy black flower dress with black high heels with little Pearl's on the straps. Her short hair is pulled back into a tiny ponytail and the only makeup done on her is her eyeliner and eyelashes. She looks pretty even without makeup but insists on wearing it.
We finally make it to the mall, and instantly feel the AC. It feels so nice in here compared to outside. She spots Spencer's and gives me puppy dog eyes
"Can you pleeeeaaaaasse buy me something of my choosing from Spencers? Nushiiiiiiiiiiii, pleaaaaasssseee"
"Okay, okay, jeez calm down"
She takes my hand and leads me into Spencer's and her eyes light up, she glances at everything and then tells me to wait at the cashier for her to grab what she wants. I look through the windows of Spencers and watch all the people passing by. Theres so many people here, but I guess it's a mall so it makes sense... Its a little to packed, the more I watch the more people walk by. Wtf? What are they staring at? I move a little closer and see Ryhs. Of course he's here.. He looks a little out of it though, I turn around so hopefully he doesnt notice me.
"NUSHI NUSHI OH MY GOD I FOUND THE CUTEST NOSE RING, COME HERE, COME HERE!!"
I put my finger to my lips and quickly turn around to see if he heard her, unfortunately he did. We make eye contact and I break it, walking over to my sister I tell her ill buy it for her if we can go to the other side of the mall and she agrees. We go to the register and 85$ FOR A FEW NOSE RINGS?! okay okay, it's okay, I have an allowance. I pay the cashier and quickly walk out with my sister and walk towards hot topic, which is on the other side of the mall haha. The crowd and Ryhs had already moved away from this side, so we should be okay. I walk into hot topic and I feel the urge to just buy the whole store. Honestly, I love this place.
I quickly grab a few pieces of clothing that I like and hand them to the cashier to ring up.. I'm trying to hurry so I dont spend all my money here..
"Here you are, have a nice day ma'am
"Ah uhm I'm actually a sir?-
"Oh no! I'm sorry sir, have a nice day!"
So awkward.. how do I even look like a ma'am? My sister waited for me in the entrance and i walked over and smiled.
"Can we go home noww? I dont wanna be heree"
"Of course, let's hurry home, it's hot outside."
As we're walking to the entrance I spot Rhys, theres a lot of people around him, but he doesnt look himself today, I wonder what happened? He catches me staring and I give him an embarrassed smile. His eyebrows go up a bit with surprise and then he gives me a weak smile and turns away..his ears growing red.
"OMG N-U-S-H-I HE JUST SMILED AT YOU AHHHH"
"I know ahha, dont be so loud"
She twirls with excitement and then plops on the ground, smiling. Why is she so excited anyway? While shes staring at Rhys, I'll look around. I glance around and theres a lot of stuff I already have..and some of it's so old I have it in storage, it's not that old but i buy a lot so a lot ends up in storage so i can buy more. On the website though, it mentioned that they have new clothing.. but that was a week ago so I wont be surprised if it's all sold out. I walk to the back right corner of the store to try and locate the new clothing. Fortunately it worked hehe and I grab the most clothes I have ever bought all at once. Which is quite a lot. Anyway after i buy them, i start to return to the front of Hot topic.
"C'mon Layla, let's go homee" I whine.
Shes to busy drooling over Rhys to hear me, so I grab her by the back of her shirt and drag her along with me, how is everyone so obsessed? When we finally make it outside, she realizes what happened and starts to try to get back... Its horrible, why in the world am I doing this again? I grab her by her arm and laugh a little.. it's been awhile since we've done this, it's a little..nice..
"...Layla..."
She quits trying to get away and stands there for a second before turning around with concerned eyes.
"Yea? Nushi!? Why are you crying!?"
"Wait what? Crying? When was I ever--"
I put my hands up to face and its tear soaked, why am I crying? I look up and smile, maybe I like this.
"I really missed you Layla, maybe we should do this more often"
Her eyes lit up and she nodded. We walked home in comfortable silence the rest of the way. When we finally made it home our parents were waiting outside for us and the quickly got us into the living room.
"Layla! Nushi! You guys are finally home, we have to leave soon, so come sit down and listen to what I have to say"
"Uhh ok"
I sit down on the armchair and Layla sits on the ground next to me, I wonder what they have to say that is so important.
"Me and your mother must leave on a business trip, we'll be gone for a while. If you need anything, you know our numbers.. Oh and your aunt and uncle are coming to town soon to keep an eye on you. You'll only be alone for a few days till they get here. Behave yourself, sit straight nushi, also dont leave the house without calling us or letting your aunt and uncle know"
I start to slouch a little again and think about how I can get around this. My aunt and uncle have never taken a liking to me.. they're not mean or anything, they just very obviously treat me and Layla differently. It doesnt really bother me anymore but I still dont want to be around them.
"but papa, me and Nushi can handle ourselves, we dont need babysitters anymore, please dont make us seem like children. Itll ruin our reputation"
Even for Layla it came out a little rude, and our father made no notice to her tone.
"Unfortunately, sweetheart, your aunt and uncle were coming down anyway for me and your mother's anniversary, we should very well be back before our anniversary. We're going to run late, call if you need anything, and also dont do anything you know you're not supposed to."
"Alright father, have a safe trip"
Layla ran up and gave them both a hug.. since they dont like it when I do that I just give a little wave goodbye. As soon as the front doors close, Layla runs up the stairs and starts blasting her stupid music. Our parents prefer when she doesnt do that when they're home, so she usually doesnt get to do it. I decide to just go take a nap, theres nothing to really do anyway. As I drag my self off to bed, I stumble on..the carpet? There was nothing on the ground when I looked down.. what did I trip on? I continue walking to my room, picking up the pace. Finally inside I shut the door and open the window a little and turn off the lights, it's about 3 p.m.. I should wake up around dinner right? Ah.. what should I make for dinner? My thoughts finally slowed and I drifted off to sleep.
