Celine fell soundly asleep, even with her dog snoring so loudly. She had dreamt of her day today, then she had dreamt of what it was going to be like within the next year.
Many days have gone by, infact many weeks have gone by. They were all normal days, go to school, learn new things in class, whether it's school related or not, have lunch and gossip with friends, then learn more. Celine had joined the soccer and volleyball team with Ashley and Desiree. Calleigh and Ryan had become Celine's best friends. They were the unseperable triplets and everyone knew it.
It the second last Friday before Christmas Break and last periode was cut short so everyone was emptying their lockers as quickly as they could. Calleigh, Celine and Ryan met up at the doors.
"Ryan, I was texting you like all day. Haven't you been getting my texts?" Celine said.
"Sorry, my mom took away my cell because I was late because of someone..."
"Well, I didn't know our project was going to take so long. Sorry. When do you get it back?"
"Tonight."
"Well were going to the mall tonight, you want to come."
"You should. You have never come with us! Plus, you need a new wardrobe... Yours is a little..." Calleigh added.
"What? Whats wrong with my clothes?!" Ryan asked, stopping in his tracks. The two girls turned towards him.
"Well, its a bit boring and not character defining. Don't you want to have style and a new look?" Calleigh said.
"Yeah, it could be fun," Celine said, giving Ryan a pout. Ryan secretly really liked Celine. She wasn't the typical 9th grader, like all the others, she happen to be intelligent, a bit more shy then Calleigh. Calleigh has never been shy, no matter what the situation if she had an opinion, it had to come out, but Celine had no trouble holding it in, infact she was really quiet but Ryan loved that about her, she was just so innocent and cute and funny. It just took a while for the funny to come out. "Please?"
"Fine, I have to go though... I'll meet you girls at the mall. Who else is going?" Ryan said starting to walk towards his house.
"4 o'clock! Don't worry, Tanner and Jason are coming!" Celine said walking her way home with Calleigh.
"You booked the appointement right?" Calleigh asked as the girls walked into Celine's room.
"Yup, Victoria, my hairdressor, I have her cellphone number in my phone. I texted her right after Ryan said he'll come and she texted back that she was getting her seat ready."
"Great, Ryan is going to thank us after this." Calleigh said.
"I hope so. I don't want him to change though."
"OMIGOD. I knew it!"
"Cal drop it, your wrong. I just don't want this whole new look of his to change him. I'm doing this because he deserves this and I think it would make him happy in the end."
"If anything happens, we will stop and do an intervention. Understood?" Celine giggled and huggs Calleigh.
"Let's get ready. We have to leave soon." Celine said. "You can use my washroom to get change and ready I'll use my room."
"Thanks."
Calleigh grabbed some items and scooted into the washroom. She put on a white, knee high, slowy skirt and a white lacey tank top with a yellow, knit sweater buttoned under her chest and down. She added a pair of white flatts and a white tote bag, plus, she left her hair down. When she stepped out, she saw Celine dressed in a pair of blue skinnies, white tank top, thin white strapp flip flops with her hair down and holding a white tote bag also.
"Dressed to impress?" Calleigh said with a tease.
"Let's just go." Celine said smiling and walking out the her door.
Calleigh followed Celine down the stairs and to the front door.
"Mom? Dad?" Celine yelled.
"Yes Celine, you can go just call me when you are leaving the mall, I might be in town and I can pick you two girls up. Calleigh, do you think you will be staying the night?" Celine mom yelled from her office downstairs.
"If that's ok with you!"
"Of course, of course."
"Thank you!"
"You can stay when you want to, we never mind."
"Bye mom!" Celine said shutting the door behind herself.
"Lets get to the mall, I'll text Ryan were leaving, he should have gotten his phone." Celine said, walking to the bus stop.
Hey Ry! We r leaving now. We will meet u at the mall
Bye 3
C e l i n e
"And sent."
"And here's our bus." Calleigh said.
They show their passes and they sit on the bus. After two minutes of talking, Celine's phone rang the song I'm Yours by Jason Mraz.
"Hey Ryan!"
"I got your text. I'm meet you there. My sister is bringing me since she is also goin to the mall."
"I hope we meet, I want to say hi."
"Eww, I hope not."
"Why? Your sister is great!"
"Cayden is not!"
"Well I adore her. Tell her I said hi."
"Alright, see you at the mall. Where do you want to meet?"
"At the Juice Bar?"
"See you chickas later." Celine giggled and hung up.
"Cayden is bringing him! I hope we see her in the mall, she is such a sweetie!"
"That's great, I haven't seen her in so long!"
"I know."
They talked and talked the whole 20 minute bus ride, then they got off. They entered the mall and waited at Juice Bar for Ryan, Jason, Tanner, Desiree and Ashley.
Ten after 4 was when everyone was accounted for. Celine and Calleigh linked each other their arms to Ryan, him in the middle, with the rest following their foot steps till they reached Water Falls, a salon for the rich and famous, which Celine loved going to every since she had moved to Miami. Rich and Famous didn't really describe the place completely, it was still expensive but not crazy money. Celine didn't go so often but when she did, there was only one person to do her hair and it was Victoria Flours. Owner and best coiffeuse in all Miami, according to Celine.
"Celine! How are you?" Victoria hugged Celine as her and Ryan and Calleigh came walking in.
"Hi Victoria. The appointment is all fixed, right?"
"For sure, for sure... You must be Ryan. Celine talks endlessy about you. And she is right, you need my help fast! Come with me. I am going to wash your hair first. Its all a mess..." Victoria said, pushing Ryan towards the back. He looked at Celine helplessly and she just smiled and waved bye, even Calleigh waved bye.
Celine and Calleigh walked back over to their group of friends, who were sitting on a bench, and sat next to them.
"Alright, we have to do this fast. Victoria said we have maximum, an hour."
"I have put a plan together while I was at home getting ready..." Tanner said.
"You have made a plan? You, Tanner?" Desiree had said suprised.
"Yes, me, Tanner had made a plan."
"I am proud of you Tanner! You did well, for someone who isn't you too!" Celine said putting her arm on his shoulders then they all got into a huddle position. "Tell us your plan Tan!"
"Well, Celine and I will do the top half shopping, meaning shirts, sweaters, jackets... Ashley and Desiree, you are in charge of shoes. And Calleigh and Jason, pants and shorts plus accessories. We only have enough money to spend 100 dollars each. Alright so we meet back her at 5:25, understood." Everyone nodded and said their agreements. "Alright break!"
They all parted and shopped till they dropped. Celine and Tanner went through about ten stores till they reached the perfect one and finally found stuff with deals.
Ashley and Desiree ended up buying everything at the first store, since the whole store was pretty much either half off or some other wicked deal. They were done twenty minutes early so they left and got a drink.
Which left Calleigh and Jason. They looked through almost the whole mall till they found the perfect one. They didn't even spend 90 dollars, they were on a roll.
There was about ten minutes left and everyone was already at their meeting spot. So they decided to show each other what they bought.
"So, Ashley and Desiree, show us what you got." Tanner said.
"Well, we got him these skater shoes," Ashley said, taking out a pair of white and green DC skater shoes from a bagg. "And we got these fancier shoes, but still somewhat casual too." She took out the black,swede shoes. "The skaters 60 dollars and the black shoes were half off so 20 dollars."
"That's eighty already..." Calleigh said.
"I know, because we also bought these too." Desiree took out a pair of navy and red Converse with a pair of black and lime green Vans. "The converse were on sale so we got them free when we bought the 45 dollar Vans."
"Thats and extra 25 bucks!" Tanner said.
"I know, we know! We're sorry." Ashley said.
"Don't be, Ryan is worth it, I'll pay the extra 25 if I have to." Celine said.
"Awwww. Celine and Ryan."
"You guys, back to business!"
"Well, Calleigh and Jason, what did you two get?" Tanner addresed himself to the two.
"We found these..." Calleigh pulled out two pairs of jeans, one pair were blue fadded at spots and the other were a dark wash. "40 bucks for both. Then we bought these sweat pants," Jason pulled out a pair of green, Campus sweats. "15 bucks and these two pairs of shorts..." Calleigh and Jason each pulled out a pair, there was one pair of khaki shorts and another pair of jean shorts. "40 bucks together. Which was a total of 95 dollars and under 100 dollars."
"Perfect. On to you two!" Ashley said, pointing to Celine and Tanner.
"We found these two T-shirts," Tanner pulled out red and orange Hollister T-shirts with graphics on them. "Two for 20. Then we found this sweater." Tanner then pulled out a brown plaid hoodie zip up. "For 20 dollars also. Then we found these two long sleeves," he pulled out a white and a yellow long sleeve, one button down and one cotton. "15 dollars for both and finally, this jacket." Celine pulled out a casual navy suit jacket. "45 dollars. All together, 100."
"Well, lets get this ready for Ryan." Calleigh noted.
"I'm going to go see how long Ryan has left." Celine said.
"Alright, let us know."
Celine didn't want to see the master peice and ruin her fun for later so she yelled from behind the wall.
"Victoria?"
"Yes sweetie?"
"How long, around?"
"Five minutes. Baby, he looks so great!"
"Celine, I hope you have an explination for all this!" Ryan yelled to Celine.
"It's not over!"
"What are you talking about?"
"You'll see."
Celine walked back to her buddies and sat next to them.
"Five more minutes."
"I can't wait!" Calleigh said.
"I bet he is going to look so different." Desiree noted.
"He will never look as good as me though!" Tanner said.
"Ha! Your too funny, I love your sense of humor." Jason added.
"Excuse me, could you two stop arguing for a second? I need someones opnion..." Ryan said as he walked up infront of them...
