While being safely locked away in her room the girl had stripped her bed covers off her bed and took the posters from off her bedroom wall. With a sigh the girl looked around the bare room and saw how the room looked. Mumbling to herself she walked to her closet and looked at her poor excuse of clothes and glared at the evil list that was sitting on her night stand. Ever since Jade had that talk with her mother the girl's mother made her change her whole wardrobe of clothes and shoes. Her mother wanted her to look more feminine and less tom-boyish. Making more work for herself she took the pile of things she was supposed to get rid of towards the dumpster and dumped the pile.
An hour later Jade had called her cousin Amber to pick her up and take her to the mall. Of course her cousin Amber was curious as to why Jade had to go to the mall. From what Amber could remember she knew her cousin Jade loved going on adventures with their uncle Jackie while Amber loved shopping at the mall. Noticing the sad look on her cousin's face Amber said," Hey Jade you know you can tell me anything that is bothering you." The younger girl said," It's just that mom said I was no longer to talk to Uncle Jackie and the villains anymore."
The older cousin said," Wait your mom said you couldn't talk to Uncle Jackie or any guy anymore, but why?" Jade said," Because in a few days I am going to be starting my first period and puberty." Amber looked over at her cousin and said," Oh sweetie it will be okay, mom and I'll help you get through puberty." Jade smiled and hugged her cousin saying," Thanks Amber I love you cousin." The older girl said," Love you too cousin." The cousins arrived at the mall within 30 minutes and started going into the stores purchasing clothes for Jade and bonded while shopping. Amber made it fun for Jade by telling her what look good on the younger girl and Jade realized she was enjoying shopping with her cousin and that brought them even closer. Before the end of the day Amber said," Hey I will be right back I'm going to go buy bottle water from one of the food courts Jade."
Once Amber disappeared to get some water Jade had sat down on the mall benches and was looking around and immediately saw a jewelry store and ran inside the store. When she ran inside the store she looked around and saw a piece of jewelry that she liked and alerted the clerk by saying," Excuse me Miss." The clerk looked up and said," How can I help you today young lady?" Jade smiled and said," I would like to buy these please?" The clerk smiled and said," Come this way to the register please." Jade followed the clerk and the clerk rang her up and said," That will be $65.37 ma'am." The girl paid the clerk and asked the clerk to gift wrap the jewelry nicely. Walking out the store Jade felt better knowing she got something she liked. Sitting back on the bench waiting for her cousin she looked around at the different stores and smiled to herself thinking she had a good day for once in her life time. Finally Amber came back and apologized for making her cousin wait but Jade smiled and said," Amber, it's okay in fact while I was waiting I went inside a jewelry store and got me a few pieces of jewelry see."
Her cousin looked at the jewelry and said," Wow Jade they're beautiful I think they will go well with your skin tone." Just then her alarm went off and Amber said," Oh it's time for your hair appointment Jade let's go." By the time they walked inside the cousins made it on time for Jade's hair appointment. The stylist washed and blow dried the younger girl's hair. Amber asked her cousin;" Do you know what you want done to your hair Jade?" The younger cousin said," Can I have my hair curled?" Amber said," Sure is that all you want done to your hair?" Jade thought about it and said," Can I also have some bangs with my curls while the curls are going down my back in the middle?" The hair stylist liked the idea and said to both cousins," Of course you can my dear." Immediately the stylist got to work styling the young girl's hair. Within the next hour the stylist stepped back and said," I can't believe it." The girls turned around and said," What?" The stylist said," This is the best work I ever have done in a long time come and see the results for yourselves."
They both followed the stylist to a mirror and once Jade saw her hair she loved how shiny and alive her hair looked. Amber said," Well dear little cousin do I dare say it but you're a real beauty." Jade kept staring at herself and kept saying," Is this me?" Finally it was time to pay and they both went to the cashier register and paid for the hair services done to Jade's hair. From the hair stylist the two walked to all the department stores and bought the younger girl a new wardrobe and shoes. Now that they were done with shopping Amber said," I'm glad mom told me to come check up on you Jade because I was worried when I haven't heard from you in so long. The half Japanese and American girl looked over at her older cousin and said," I'm sorry for making you worry Amber." The older girl said," It's okay and guess what?" The younger of the two said," What?" Amber said," I have a gorgeous little cousin that needs looking after and she's you."
Jade smiled and said," Thanks for the help today Amber I really needed the help." They gabbed all of Jade's purchases and took them to the girl's room and sorted them out. Amber looked at her cousin and said," Did you get everything you needed for your room?" Jade said," No not really." Amber said," What did you need?" Jade said," Mom said I needed paint so I can redecorate my room to look more feminine." Amber said," You don't have to paint it; besides your bitch of a mother texted me saying that you needed to get another bed and another desk instead of the crummy one that is in your room." Jade giggled and said," Wow I guess I'm not the only who calls my mom a bitch." Amber said," Come on it's still light out let's see if we can go to a decorator who decorates bedrooms, and from there we can tell the decorator what we want done to your room." Jade agreed and said," Now what kind of bed does my mom want me to get?" Amber said," Your mother said get a sleep number bed."
Jade said," Why would my mom tell me to get that kind of bed when I can get a Tempur Pedic bed, gosh why does she want me to live like I'm rich?" Amber said," I don't know but my mom doesn't like flaunting her money like your money." Letting out another giggle Jade said," And that is why I wish your mom was my mom because we get along great." Amber giggled too and said," Yeah I know and if my mom would have been your mom you would have been a great little sister." The two smiled until Amber said," Oh shoot come on the decorator lady is here." The two cousins walked inside the decorator's office and the lady said," Hello my name is Emily are you two Amber and Jade?" The duo said," Yes that is us miss." Emily smiled and said," Okay what kind of design are you looking for?" Jade said," Well I was looking for something like more nature like a nice forest but with a nice surrounding." Emily said," We can do that." Jade said," How much is it going to charge?" Emily said," It's going to just cost $400.00 to complete." Jade said," When can you have it completed?" Emily said," I can have it completed in two weeks and it will cost just $200.00 to complete in two weeks." Jade said," Perfect."
