New Beginnings
Chapter 4
Disclaimer- I do not own any of the characters
When they got to the mall Courtney's sister dropped them off in the parking lot and told them that she would pick them up at 7:30.
"C'mon Emma. We're meeting my friends at Hot Topic. Do you have any money?" They started walking as they talked.
"Yeah, I have a lot. I always carry it around in case I need it. I have about 100 dollars."
"Me too," Courtney replied. "My mom doesn't know though, or she'd kill me. My dad doesn't mind."
"Neither of my parents know. They'd also kill me if they found out." Suddenly, before Emma knew it, they were at Hot Topic. It looked kind of weird to Emma but she went in anyway.
"Emma, come over here!" Courtney called. "This is Jenna," she said pointing to a girl with long blonde hair and blue eyes. "And this is Allie," she continued, pointing to another girl with blonde hair and blue eyes. Emma fit right in. She was really pretty and had blonde hair and blue eyes. All three of them did, and now Emma did too. "So, Emma," Courtney said. "First we're gonna do a little shopping. Then, at 7:30 we'll leave, just us two and have dinner. Then, after a little while at my house, Jenna and Allie will come. My sister will drive us back here to the mall. No one will be here. We won't have to be quiet when we're leaving because my parents won't mind that we're going out. We will sit by the fountain and do our official welcoming thing to welcome you into the group. It isn't just like, 'Okay...you're in the group. Congrats.' It's a real thing. You learn the rules, do some dares and you're in. Got it?"
"Yeah. I just have one question. What if people are here?"
"They won't be. They might be in the mall, but we reserved the whole first floor for tonight. Yes, I'm that rich. The fountain is on the first floor. So no one will be near us."
"Okay. Let's start shopping," Allie said. They started looking around Hot Topic. Courtney told Emma to stay with her. Since she wasn't really part of the group yet, she couldn't wander off alone. She had to stay with one of the members. Time flies when you're having fun and seven o'clock came and went and soon enough it was 7:30.
"Well guys, me and Emms gotta go. We'll see you in an hour." Courtney then turned to Emma. "Don't mind them if they aren't paying any attention to you. They don't pay attention to anybody until they're part of the group." They started to walk. When they got to the parking lot, Courtney's sister was already there.
"C'mon, let's go!" She called. "I don't have all day."
