Summer vacation was almost over, the four of them dreading the beginning of school. Finn pulled into the driveway, Bianca jumping out before he had stopped, too excited to see her friends to wait. Finn slammed on the break, scared fragile little Bianca was going to get hurt. She ran to the house, smiling back at him as she went inside.
"Jesus…" he grumbled, heart racing. "She's going to get herself killed one day."
He walked into the kitchen, Bianca on Ava's back and Faythe hugging Bianca. Danté and Vincent were staring at the huddle of girlfriends, looking quite intimidated. Ava let Bianca go so soon as she seen Finn, who smiled his goofiest smile at the gesture.
"Are you ready to go?" Finn asked, holding Bianca's hand.
"Yes!" the brothers exclaimed, dying to get out of the house.
"Are we going to the mall, or what? We never decided." Faythe piped up, grabbing Danté's keys off of the table and moving over to him.
"The mall; we are definitely going to the mall." Ava said authoritatively. "I need shoes, preferably sexy heels."
"Yes, mall: now." Vincent chimed in, eyes wide at the notion.
"Okay, let's go." Danté said, taking his keys from Faythe and going out to the car.
The drive was awkward, the six of them driving Mrs. Way's van. It was never truly cool to go to the mall in a mommy rocket, unless you're five. Danté drove, Faythe next to him up front; Finn and Bianca sat in the second row of seats, Vincent and Ava texting in the very back. They pulled into the parking lot, looking for a space. Danté parked and Ava and Vincent practically jumped over the seat trying to get out.
"God, you're a couple of animals." Faythe grumbled, hugging Danté tightly.
"Yeah, you two and your shoe addiction…" Bianca laughed, getting into one of the child-sized carts and being pushed by Finn.
There were hardly any people at the mall, but that didn't stop them from doing some really stupid stuff; such as running up the down escalator…
