When Maya woke up the next morning, she could hear the birds chirping and see the sun peeking through the white curtains. She pulled the covers off of her and furrowed her brows. She didn't remember getting cover. Maybe she sleep walks now.

She made her way up the stairs into the bathroom since that was the only bathroom that she knew of. Once inside, she pulled out her ponytail and brushed it out. She put her hair into two braids and pulled down the shirt that Alex lent her to sleep in.

Maya looked at her reflection. She looked like a child and not a sixteen year old girl. The light splattering of freckles across her nose and the childish braids didn't give off a mature appearance.

She took some mouth wash and swirled it around before spitting it out. She splashed some water in her face and took a deep breath. She looked over at the plants and smiled.

Maya opened the door and took one step only to knock into a hard chest. Not again. "Shit." She controlled her breathing and prepared herself for anything Kyle might say to piss her off.

"Oh Midge. We have to stop meeting like this." Kyle smiled down at her.

She glared at him. "I told you once that my name is not Midge."

"Well if you tell me your name we can replace it." He shrugged.

"That is not happening." Maya stood her ground.

"Well, Midge it is." He flicked one of her braids before going into the bathroom. She went to go back downstairs, but saw his bedroom door open and smiled wickedly.

Maya went into his room, which was surprisingly organized. This was going to be fun. She saw that his window was already open. Great for her.

She stood in the middle of his room, looked out of the window and held her arms out by her sides. She sucked in a sharp breath and the wind came blowing in. Maya laughed as the wind flew around Kyle's room, knocking papers and other things on the floor. She closed her eyes as the wind stopped, looked around at her masterpiece, and smiled.

When Maya walked out of Kyle's room, she saw that he was leaving the bathroom. She giggled and scurried past him to go downstairs.

When inside of the living room, she burst into fits of laughter. Alex was now up and raised a brow at her. "What—".

"Just wait for it". Maya put up one finger to signal for her to wait. Alex looked like she wanted to ask, then...

"Alex!" Maya heard Kyle call from upstairs. She could hear heavy footsteps coming downstairs.

"What!" Alex yelled, clearly not a morning person.

"Get your 'friend' before I do something I regret". He looked pissed. This was gold.

"I'm sorry?" Alex looked confused. Maya finally controlled her breathing.

Kyle pointed over to Maya. "She trashed my room. Do you know how long it takes to make it organized. My flashcards for my debate on Monday are all mixed up. I'm screwed because of her". He looked at her, anger filling his hazel green eyes.

Maya innocently smiled and put a hand to her chest. "I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about". He clenched his fists and walked closer to her.

Flashes of a memory clouded her vision and her eyes widened. She was frozen in her spot. Alex must have noticed because she was in between them in seconds. Maya began to feel light headed. "We should go get ready...for shopping."

Maya nodded. "I...uh...yeah". She let Alex drag her upstairs. She saw a flash of concern from Kyle before anger filled his eyes again, making her think she just imagined the concern.

"Just keep her out of my room." He grumbled out. Alex gave him the finger.

Maya sighed as they entered Alex's room. "Okay can I just say that you are like the coolest person in existence. Like OMG, you trashed his room. That is like beyond awesome. I would've paid actual money to see his face." She was laughing.

"Oh good you're not mad" Maya let out the breath she was holding. Alex scoffed. "Of course I'm not mad, its nice to see his ego crack for just a moment". She smiled. Maya laughed at her. That was not the reaction she was expecting.

"You don't have to explain what happened just a minute ago". Alex assured her. She nodded, thankful that Alex wouldn't ask questions.

"So how about we actually get ready for the mall?" Maya nodded in agreement.

She put her clothes back on while Alex went to the bathroom. Alex came back into the room and sat on the bed with her. "So did you pick out an outfit for Monday?".

Maya shook her head. "No, not really".

Alex gasped. "We are so buying you a badass outfit for tomorrow. No buts".

Maya sighed. "Okay..." She wasn't really sure how this would turn out.

Alex squealed. "Im buying!" She pulled Maya with her downstairs.

Once outside, Maya glanced over at her house. Jon was just leaving and the garage was still open.

"Is that your bike?" Alex asked in disbelief.

"Yep" She popped the 'p' and smiled at her bike.

Alex turned to her. "You totally need an outfit for that thing." Her eyes lit up.

"Okay." Maya waved to Jon. He smiled as he pulled off in his new Bentley. She laughed at his excitement.

Alex watched as Jon drove off. "You guys have nice rides." Maya nodded.

Alex walked over to her Lexus. Maya sat in the passengers seat. She drove to the Manhattan Mall. They rolled the windows down, listened to music and sang along on the way.

.o.O.o.

They arrived at the mall soon after. Alex squealed and pulled Maya out of the guessed that she wasn't getting out fast enough.

She laughed. "Alright. I'm coming."

Alex turned to her. "You just don't understand how excited I am for you. We are totally going to make you noticeable. Jon will be known as your big brother, not you as his little sister". Maya liked the sound of that.

They walked inside and Alex practically skipped to a store. Her favorite apparently. She stopped once we entered a store called Céline.

"What's your size?" She asked.

Maya looked down at herself. "Small. I guess". Alex nodded and started running around the store. Maya saw her pick up multiple things. She just tried her best to stay out of Alex's way, she seemed to be in the zone.

Alex ran up to her. "Here try these on". She pointed the fitting room. Maya walked inside and put on the dark washed jeans, white crop top that said 'force of nature' (how ironic), and black combat boots. She looked at herself in the mirror and gasped.

"What?!" Alex yelled from the other side of the door.

Maya laughed and opened the door. "I look totally kick-ass!".

Alex gasped too. "OMG you so look kick-ass. It will go great with a leather jacket".

Maya nodded. "You are the best!" She hugged her. She wasn't the best at being girly, but she was trying. She really liked Alex.

Alex giggled. "Don't worry about it". Maya smiled then changed back into her clothes.

When she came back out Alex's eyes were gleaming. She took the clothes and walked up to the cashier. Alex paid for the clothes and clapped when the lady handed her the bag. They walked to the foodcourt and ate.

"So you're not getting anything?" Maya asked.

Alex shook her head. "This trip was for you. Plus I have way too many clothes". Maya giggled.

"You have to promise to let me come over before school so I can do your hair". Maya shook her head.

Alex gave her a look that she couldn't say 'no' to. "Fine. I'll be your doll" she said.

Alex smiled brightly. "You'll love it, I promise".

"I believe you" Maya assured her.

They spent the rest of the day hanging out and talking about random things. Tomorrow was definitely going to be interesting.
