Wednesday Morning

"Amelia! Let's listen to my music for once!" Chloe says angrily as we are getting into my car to go to school.

"It's my car so I get the aux whenever I want it, and I want it today." I tell her pulling the cord from her hand.

"Yeah but your music sucks." She whines.

"Okay and.." I plugin my phone, as she sits back and crosses her arms.

We drive to school and once we get there she says, "Okay after school today when dad gets home from work, we are going to the mall to get homecoming dresses."

"Okay." I say.

We walk into school and part ways. This week has been boring so far, Lucy and the boys were supposed to be back today, but they texted us that their parents decided they should stay longer.

"Dad! The mall closes in 2 hours and we've been waiting for someone for a while now, can't Chloe and I just walk to the store and then you come when you can?" I say, as we stand in a very crowded Apple store at the mall.

"Girls, you know how much I hate you walking around the mall alone." My dad says, sighing.

"But if we stay with you this trip would have been a waste." Chloe says, trying to get him to agree to let us go.

My dad is very protective of us. He says it isn't us he doesn't trust, it's other people that makes him nervous.

"Fine. But don't go to another store besides that one. I mean it!" He says, with a stern look.

"We won't dad." Chloe and I say in unison.

We speed walk to the store. It's a cute boutique that most girls go to for their homecoming dresses at our school.

"I'm going to go look over there." Chloe says, pointing to a rack of different colored dresses on the other side of the store.

"Okay, but if you're going to go to the dressing rooms, tell me so I can see them." I tell her.

"I will." Then Chloe turns and walks towards the rack.

After looking at countless dresses, and trying half of them on, we finally both find one. Mine is forest green, and the front has a V neck then the back has thin straps crossing each other. Chloe gets a red dress that's velvet with a slight V neck and three quarter length sleeves. Both coming just a little above our knees.

Chloe calls our dad and he tells us he is just now paying for his new laptop charger at the Apple store. We leave the boutique and walk back to the Apple store.

I start to have a feeling of being watched, and look over and see a man, wearing a black sweatshirt with the hood up staring intensely at Chloe and I. I grab Chloe's hand and start to pick up our pace.

"What's wrong?" She says to me.

"Nothing, I just want to get to dad before the mall closes."

"We still have 45 minutes until it does you know."

I ignore her and continue to walk at a quicker pace, making sure she keeps up with me. We finally get to my dad, who's waiting outside the store for us, and walk out of the mall.

The minute I walk out, my anxious feeling drops, and I let out a long breathe I'd been holding in. "Alright let's go home."

"A man in a black sweatshirt watching you?" Christine says, confused.

It's been about an hour since getting back from the mall, making it about 9 pm, and I'm currently facetiming Christine on my laptop.

"Yeah, and he had these piercing dark eyes. I don't know, made me feel very uncomfortable until we left the mall." I tell her.

I wanted to tell someone what happened but I didn't want to freak Chloe or my dad out. If I really felt threatened I would have told my dad, but I will most likely never seen that man again.

"Huh. Well if you do see him again, tell your dad girl." Christine tells me, sternly.

"I will, I will." I tell her, waving my hand.

We continue to talk about different things happening in ours lives and at school.

"GIRL!" Christine yells, all of the sudden.

"What?"

"So someone told me that Blair has a new boyfriend that goes to Malibu High School." She says.

"Wait what?" Blair is actually over Xavier?

"Yeah, they met at Nathan Beckers party Saturday night and made it official yesterday after school." She says excitedly.

"Wow. But I'll believe it when I see her actually ignore Xavier in school, maybe she's just rebounding until he comes back." I say to her.

If she really does have a new boyfriend, then maybe Xavier and I could start something. It will have to start with convincing him to be my homecoming date.

"Okay so this friday after the football game, we can see what we can do then we'll bring up us all going as a group to hoco. I don't see why Xavier and Blake would object to it." Christine says, which I agree with.

"I have to shower, goodnight!"

"Goodnight." I say back, ending the call

"Hey guys!" Lucy says, as we all get ready for gym in the locker room.

The boys and Lucy came home yesterday and are back at school today, which is convenient since the football game is tonight.

"Hey, how was the trip?" Christine asks.

"Boring and cold. How were you guys?" She asks.

"It's been boring down here as well." I tell her.

"Okay so for tonight, should we just meet at the school or someone's house?" Lucy asks. We told Lucy of our plan tonight which she thinks is a good idea.

"Let's meet at the school, and then just wait in our cars until everyone gets here." I say.

"Okay." Christine and Lucy say.

We then walk out of the locker room and into the gym where we are told we will be playing soccer outside.

Once we get outside, we are split into two teams, girls against boys. With all the very tall and lean boys in my class, I prepare myself to be trampled.

"Okay listen up girls." Anna, who's captain of the girls soccer team, tells us all as we huddle before the game starts. "We can win this game if everyone tries and we play together as a team."

"Defense will be me, Anna, Lucy, And Grace. Offense is Amelia, Christine, Zoe, Emily, and Sarah. And Penny as the goalie." Hannah tells us.

We all agree on that, and then the game starts. We had a total of three games and the girls won two and the boys won one. Nothing notable happened except I got a goal and when Christine tripped Blake was the first one there to help her up. This is notable because he got to her quicker from the other side of the field than Zoe who was about a foot from her.

After getting changed, and walking to our cars together, we start to plan for tonight.

"Okay, so we should meet up at the school at like 7:00 when the game starts." I say.

"Okay, I'll make a group chat so we can text where we are when we get here." Christine says.

"Alright" "Okay" "Bye guys." Everyone says, as we all get into our cars and drive home.

"So what are you and Aidan doing tonight?" I ask Chloe.

"We are going to see 'Creed II' then getting ice cream after. I heard Blair has a new man." She says, looking over to me.

"Yeah Christine told me, but I need to wait to see how she acts around Xavier before I make a move. Although Christine and I are asking Blake and Xavier to go as a group to hoco tonight." I tell her.

"Hell yeah! You guys would be such cute couples and then we can have Xavier and Aidan over one night to meet dad and Amanda." She says excitedly.

"Yeah and then mom can meet them when we go up north with them over winter break."

Once we get home, we see my dads car in the driveway and I park next to him. We go into the house and my dad is sitting on the couch next to Noelle watching a random show.

"Hey, how was school?"

"Boring." Chloe and I say.

"Do you guys have plans tonight?" Dad asks us.

"I'm going out with Aidan tonight." Chloe tells him.

"And I'm going to the game with Christine, Lucy, Xavier, Blake and Grayson." I say.

"Who's Aidan?" My dad asks.

"The boy Chloe likes."

"Shut up Amelia! He's just a friend dad." Chloe says.

"We'll curfew is at 11 unless you plan to sleep over at someone's house and Chloe you can not sleep over at Aidan's house." My dad tells us.

Curfew around here isn't too strict if my dad knows where we are and we tell him we will be home late or sleeping over at someones house.

"We know dad." Chloe says, as she walks up to her room.

"I'm going to go to my room too." I says as I walk up the stairs.
