Kylie ran up the front steps of her brand new house in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. After years of being in Massachusetts, it was thrilling in an odd way to run up the steps of a house in the state in which she was born. Kylie was rushing. She had to get to the phone. She was fully in charge of planning a trip to Baltimore, Maryland to meet up with her best friend. In her rush, she didn't see the lovely brown cardboard box sitting in front of her converse-clad feet and she tripped over it.
Landing, none to gracefully, on her butt she finally glanced at the package. I hope it's band-aids she thought, her eyes skimming over the top of the package. It read: Kylie Liridon and that was enough for her. Sudden curiosity blew pain out of proportion as she tore tape off of the box. Though Kylie was generally modest and sweet, when it came to presents, she was greedy as any five year old around. Which, she might've considered an insult, seeing as she was a 13 year old whiz kid. Yes, whiz kid, the child that you know that your mom somehow knows too and compares you to. I digress, Kylie ripped open the box and inside lay her dream shoes.
Sure, Kylie was rather fond of converse. She had twelve pairs, all purchased with her own money. Sometimes, though, when she wanted to hit the to mall (King of Prussia, where anyone and everyone needs to look cute, even decent when striding past stores like Chanel and Louis Vuitton and those who shop there) she needed something hip. Something retro. Something hot. Something her mother had for forbidden her to wear: bright neon gogo boots. She stared down at the return address.
Of course. It was from Elisabeth. Elisabeth was Kylie's best friend. Though they lived in different states, they managed to bond by going to random museums, spanning from Virginia to Massachusetts. Most of them were fascinating to Elisabeth and Kylie, not so much to their siblings. This was another thing Kylie and Elisabeth had in common. They both had three little siblings. They were the oldest of four, so that had to make them super tolerant, right?
