Chapter Three: The New Shop
Adrianna walk away pissed. She goes over to Manny and Arianna.
"You guys let's go to a different store." Arianna says dragging Adrianna and Manny into Claire's. Arianna buys a friendship necklace for her and her new friend Jamie, Manny buys a couple of bracelets and Adrianna buys a new barbell for her belly button. The three of them walk out of Claire's, when a cute surfer looking guy says hi to Manny.
"Oh hi J.T." she replies with a shy smile, "These are my cousins. They just moved her from B.C."
"Oh cool! From the west coast," he replies with a shy yet cheesy grin.
"That's Adrianna and her younger sister Arianna," replies Manny. The two exchange words for a few minutes and Adrianna could'nt help but notice how much J.T. is into Manny.
Aww! So cute!. She thought.
J.T. and Manny finally finish talking and he leaves to catch up with some friends. When J.T. has left Adrianna looks at Manny and gives her a big cheesy smile.
"Why are you so happy?" she says looking at her like she's the stupidest person in the world.
"Are you that blind!" Adrianna says, "He obviously likes you! And you like him, too!"
"Adi don't be so stupid!" she snaps.
"Manny and J.T. sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"Adrianna and Arianna sing. Manny's cheeks flush a cherry red as she continues to tell them to shut up.
The three of them go home after Manny managed to shut them up. As they walk she tell Manny what happened at West 49.
"I don't like them," she finishes.
"I said before, 'Spinner's like that.' I thought Paige and I were okay." Manny babbles.
"Guess not," Adrianna shrugged, kicking a rock onto someone's lawn. The three keep on talking until they got home. Adrianna opened the door, surprised to see that her parents were already home sitting at the kitchen table discussing something. She and Manny go downstairs to her room while Arianna runs up to hers after saying hi to their parents. The two of them sit there watching movies until Manny has to go home. Adrianna walks Manny to the door and says good-bye. Then she goes back home and help her parents with dinner.
"So did you find a skate shop?" her dad, Jonathan, asks.
"Yep, there's a West 49 at the mall," she replyed cutting up mushrooms to saut.
"Your dad bought a store near the mall," says her mom joining the conversation.
"Really?" she says in awe, "What are you gonna do with it?"
"Correction," smirks her dad, "What DID I do with it?" She looks at her dad torn between confusion and curiosity.
"Okay, what DID you do with it?" she replys.
"Well, it will be and previously was, a skate shop," smiles her dad. A huge smile comes across her face.
"Arianna surprisingly didn't tell you and I'm surprised Manny didn't either," adds her mom, "She said she almost told you at the mall today." She squeals with happiness!
"So," continues her dad, "Of course your mom and I will be working there, Arianna will be helping out, and I assumed you'll need a job. So I saved spots for you and, if she'd like to, Manny."
"Of course!" she squeals.
"Oh and one more thing," says her dad. She looks at him. "Check the closet in the main hall." She tears out of the kitchen straight for the closet. She yanks open the doors to find...
