Saturday before

"Amanda get up, Felicia will be here soon!" Mom yells.

I groan and turn on my phone, 11:00 am.

I normally sleep in till after 12 since I stayed up until 3 this morning watching seasons of Riverdale.

I go into my bathroom, brush my teeth and wash my face. I go downstairs to the kitchen where our chef hands me a plate with waffles and eggs.

"Thanks."

He nods then turn to the sink to start lunch, I sit by the counter and eat my breakfast.

"Hey, catch Nathan", the twins are playing football in the house again.

"How many times do I have to tell you boys, no playing inside the house?!" Mom yells.

"Sorry mom, we are just practicing which we will now be doing outside", Daniel replies.

I chuckle and shake my head as mom enters the kitchen, "there you are, you aren't even dress yet", she sighs.

"I'm eating as you can see mother", I shove the waffles in my mouth.

"I already put your outfit for the day on your bed, you better don't change it", she warns.

"Once it's not revealing", I state.

"Just a pair of skinny jeans and a nice tank top with a cute jacket."

"No heels", I add.

"Fine, you can wear your shoes."

I grin and run up to my room quickly.

I shower and put on the outfit mom chose for me, it is presentable. I brush my hair and let it flow down over my shoulder and slip on a hair band.

"Felicia is here Amanda!" Mom yells.

I walk out on my balcony and see a black car park in front of the house with Felicia standing outside of it with her driver; she is texting on her phone with a shades on her had. I walk back inside get my small hand purse and slip my phone it in along with the credit care dad gave me last night.

"Look how pretty you look", mom coos,"all  you are missing is some lip gloss which I have right here."

She applies some lip gloss to my lips and pushes me out the door,"finally I thought you got lost", Felicia slips her phone in her handbag. 

I wish I did get lost though.

"No I didn't get lost, just took my time to look this gorgeous", I reply arrogantly with a hair flick.

"We're meeting my friends at the mall, I hope you have enough money to purchase stuff. I'll hate it if my friends embarrass you knowing who your parents are", she explains.

I take out the credit card,"will this do?" I smirk.

"Is that a platinum card?" She gasps.

"Looks like it, dad said I can use it to purchase stuff I need", I shrug and put it back in my purse.

"Let's go", her driver opens the door for us to the back seat, we got in and he takes the driver's seat.

"So,  how's Kayden?" Felicia asks.

"Why do you want to know?" I frown.

"Just asking, is he single?"

"If you think he'll be interested in someone like you, then think again", I snort.

"I will get him, I just do it. During the dinner I saw the way he was looking at me", she states.

"I didn't see anything", I shrug.

"Can I have his number?"

"In your dreams", I snort.

"I'll get it, I can always ask your mother or other brothers. If I don't get him there are four others to choose from."

"Whatever", I roll my eyes.

***

When we arrive at the mall, there are three other girls waiting for us at the food court.

"Felicia you're finally here!" A red hair one shrieks.

"Keep it down will you", the blonde hair snaps.

"Shut it", she glares at her. 

The dark brown hair some rolls her eyes.

"We spotted a few cuties a few minutes ago", the red hair one tells Felicia.

"Where?" 

"Over there", she points to where a few very familiar faces are seated.

They are Nick, Keegan, Brandon and two other guys from school.

"They're so hot", the blonde hair one sighs.

"Girls this is Amanda, Amanda this is Courtney, Brianna and Harmony", Felicia points to the blonde first then the red hair and then dark brown hair.

"Hey", I wave.

"Oh you're pretty", Brianna states and plays with my hair,"is this dye?"

"It's my real hair", I answer.

"Oh, well its so silky,what do you use in your hair?" Courtney asks.

"Ask my mother she normally buys products for my hair", I shrug.

"Who are your parents?"

"Jones family",  Felicia answers.

They gasp.

"So you have five older brothers then?" Brianna grins.

"Yes."

"Daniel and  Nathaniel are so hot", she swoons.

I roll  my eyes.

"They're twin ", Courtney rolls her eyes.

"Hey  mans!" Brandon spots me and waves, the other guys look my way as well as I wave back, Nick and Keegan wave as well. 

"You know them?" Felicia mouth falls open.

"Yeah, they attend the school I go to and are friends with the twins", I explain.

"You totally got to introduce us to them",  Brianna states.

"Why? I came here to shop. Aren't you tired to trying to get with guys for once?" I cross my eyes.

She looks at me opens her mouth and close it back.

"She's right, let's go shop", Harmony steps in.

"Whatever", she rolls her eyes as we leave the food court.

"Which store first girls?" Felicia grins.

"I need new dresses, so that store we always shop at", Courtney answers.

They all agree and we enter the elevator.

4 hours later

"Are we done? I'm tired", I groan.

"Just one more store, I need that new pair of heels I saw online which is in the store right now", Harmony states.

I sigh, Harmony can be quiet but she is a shopping freak and don't know when to stop. I didn't even ate lunch just was lucky to get a bottle of water and a glass of juice with small cube size sandwiches at that store an hour ago.

"I think I'll just go home I can't make it anymore", I say.

"Don't you need me to drop you home?" Felicia frowns.

"No, I'll text one of my friends", I wave her off.

"Okay, thanks for coming."

I text Brandon as I leave.

Me: Where are you right now?

Brandon: At Nick's house, why?

Me: Can you come pick me up at the mall please

Brandon: I was wondering how long you would of survived, I'm surprise you lasted this long. Give me twenty minutes

Me: I'll wait by the food court, I'm starving anyway

Brandon: Okay, see you soon

I enter the food court and got in line for burger king.

"Hey", the cashier greets me.

 He's about my age with the name tag Devon. 

"Hey, can I have the double cheese burger special?" I order.

"Anything else", he smiles.

"With extra fries", I add.

"That'll be ten bucks."

I hand him twenty,"keep the change."

He hands me the receipt and I step to the side and wait for my order.

3 minutes later

"Here's your order, have a great day", Devon hands me the bag.

"Thanks", I take it and sit down by a table.

I start to eat my burger when someone catches my eyes, there he is by a table way up in the corner. He has his head down then he looks up and his eyes lock with mine, we both freeze and stare at each other for a few seconds. 

I look away and continue to eat my food with a blush on my face.

 Brandon arrives fifteen minutes later,"ready?"

"Yeah", I get up and look back at the table but the guy isn't there, when did he leave?

"Looking for someone?" Brandon asks.

"No, let's go", he helps me with my bags.
