A/N: Hellooo! I managed to update really quickly! Please enjoy and review!

"Dad, why are we here?" I asked nervously.

"Oh, I just need to pick up a CD and then we can leave," he replied. Whew.

"Really?" I faked a frown, trying not to look relieved.

"Of course not, I'm taking you shopping." I really frowned this time. Shoot! I hadn't a clue wether Dad was a good shopping partner, but I was pretty sure he wasn't. I walked gradually to the entrance of the mall. "Come on, Ness!" Dad called. I straightened my back a little and walked to him. Gasps and mutters surrounded me. I just sighed. I was used to it, what these people didn't know was that we could hear them perfectly clearly. I entered Accessoriez and the woman at the counters eyes bulged as she saw my Dad. Yeuk. I walked over to the sunglasses and took my time inspecting them. I needed a new pair for the summer. Summer had only just begun. "Would you like some help?" the woman from the counter asked. I looked at her. She was smiling at my Dad and trying her best to make herself look pretty without making it obvious. Dad was looking at the music shop. I sighed and said "No thank you, I'm fine." She looked back at me and looked jealous. Yes, I'm pretty just get over it. "Oh but are you sure?" she said eagerly. I nodded and tried on a pair of sunglasses.

"Surely there's something I can do to help!" She shot glances at my Dad frequently. "No, there really isn't. I'm honestly fine," I said getting a bit irritated.

"Are you sure!?" she asked yet again. I sighed and put the glasses down.

"Yes!" I almost shouted hurrying through the door. Dad was right by my side looking at me confusingly. "She was getting irritating," I told him.

"Yes I know, but weren't you going to get a pair of glasses?" he asked. I shook my head and scanned through the shops looking for a good one. I chose Abercrombie & Fitch. The shop was pretty empty apart from one or two people. That's because most people weren't in the mall in Summer. They'd be at the beach or off on holiday. I quickly scanned the shop for any females. I found one but she was an elderly lady just shopping. I was glad. I didn't want any more disturbances. I walked over to a rack and looked through some t-shirts. I picked out a nice pink one tee. "I'll just try this on," I told my Dad. He nodded and sat on a chair. I went into the changing room and put the shirt on. It looked fabulous on me. Just perfect. I quickly changed out of it and went to the counter. My Dad already had his wallet out. He payed for it and insisted on carrying the bag. "Don't worry Ness, it's not like I'm going to get tired." I laughed at that and walked out. He kept shooting glances at the music shop. I sighed and walked into it, when I looked at him he was grinning. "I'm just going to look around, okay?" he said. I nodded and went to look around myself. I flicked through some CD's. To be honest I was a little bored. I heard mutters behind my back from some girls. "She's such a show-off," one of them said. There were three of them. "I know, I mean D&G?" the other one muttered.

"Obviously a snob," the other one agreed. I turned around and walked over to them. They were dressed simply in jeans and t-shirts. "Do you have something to tell me?" I asked.

"Actually, yeah!" The tallest one said. I glared at her and she backed away timidly. "Nice glasses," she whimpered and ran off with the other two at her flanks. I laughed to myself and turned around to find my Dad right behind me. "How long have you been there?" I asked anxiously.

"Long enough," he said smiling slightly. "You really shouldn't frighten people like that, you know."

"They were gossiping!" I told him. He nodded. He must have read their minds.

"Well, let's go," I said tugging him out the door. He had a plastic bag in his hand with the music shops name labelled on it. "What CD did you buy?" I asked him. "Paramore." He smiled at me and we went on shopping. I bought some new summer flip-flops with daisies on them, a pair of skinny jeans and a red tank top with a flower travelling on the side of it. Amazingly, Dad was a pretty good shopping partner. He didn't bother me or protest if something I bought was too expensive. He only bought a pair of khaki pants. We chatted about the most random things as we drove to the next secret place…
