Beep… Beep… Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!

"Ugh… Shut up!..." I yelled at my alarm clock. I slammed the snooze button but it just kept on beeping. "Yeah? Well fuck you, too." I mumbled under my breath as I pulled the cord out of the wall. "Now shut up." I fell back asleep but not 2 minutes later, someone sat on my bad and was gently rubbing my upper arm.

"Sandy? Your mom told me to wake you up. She said something about some morning sale she's taking you and Stan. Come on, all girls like going shopping. Get up." I heard someone's voice tell me.

"Ugh, five more minutes…" I told the voice. It laughed. I opened my eyes to glare but I saw Maxwell. I automatically sat up straight in my bed. He laughed again.

"Come on and get ready. You might want to hurry to the bathroom before I wake up Stan and he beats you to it."

I ran my fingers through my hair. "Yeah, thanks." He started to walk out of my room. "Hey, Max?"

"Yeah?"

"What are you doing up so early, anyways?"

"Early, Sandy, I have been up for 3 hours." He laughed

"But its, like, 9:30."

"Yeah, I know." He laughed and left my in my room. As soon as I heard Stan's door open, I rushed to get my clothes. I glanced at the mirror and was immediately embarrassed. I was wearing cheerleading shorts and a sports bra.

'I really need to start wearing a tee shirt to bed. At least for this week…' I thought as I rushed to the bathroom before Stan could claim it.

I turned on the shower and jumped in. It was freezing, but it got warmer. I shampooed my hair and shaved as fast as I could without hurting myself. After I was done with my shower, I jumped out and dried off. I threw on what ever clothes I picked out (Light blue jeans and a black Tinker Bell shirt) and dried my hair. I curled in the ends of my shoulder length hair and put on some make-up (mascara, eyeliner, and lip gloss).

"There, all finished." I said to myself. After cleaning up a little, I went back to my room, got my shoes (grey converse) and went down stairs.

"Finally! It took you long enough." Stan yelled as he ran upstairs. I glared at him as he passed and got out some apple juice.

"You know that's loaded down with nothing but sugar, right?"

I looked up to see Maxwell standing in the doorway. "Yeah? Good. I need some. Mom never lets me have coffee." I said, smiling, as I poured some in a glass. He laughed and walked towards me.

"Your hair looks nice today. I like it." He tucked some behind my ear. "Now, what do you want for breakfast?"

"Oh, nothing. I normally skip it and just eat lunch."

"But breakfast is the best meal of the day." I just looked at him like he was crazy.

"Are you going to question all of my morning habits today?" I laughed

"No, I'm sorry. It's just, you should be taken better care of."

"Well, I can take care of myself. I can even tie my own shoes, see?" I showed him my converse all laced up and tied. We laughed.

"Smart ass…" He muttered

"And don't you forget it." I winked at him and we laughed again

"SANDY! YOU LEFT ME NO HOT WATER AGAIN!" Stan yelled at me from upstairs

"THEN I GUESS YOU BETTER GET UP A LITTLE EARLIER, STANLY!" I screamed back

"Oh, Kids, stop it." Mom told us as she came around the corner. "I swear, you two do this every morning. Sandy, Baby, you look beautiful. Now, Maxwell, are you sure you don't mind going with us? I could always leave you here or you could take one of the kid's cars somewhere."

"That's ok, Mrs. Nancy. I want to go. I could use some new shirts, anyways." He smiled at her.

"I always liked you best out of Stanley's friends Maxwell. You are just so kind. Now, Sandy, are you ready, dear?"

"Yep."

"What? I don't think I heard you clearly."

"Yes, ma'am." I sighed. Today was going to be a long day.

Once we got to the store, my mom rushed us right in. "Ok, we are going to go with Stanly first, and then we will do you, ok Sandy?" My mom asked us

"Mom, can't we just pick out our own clothes by ourselves this time? We're seniors, not kindergarteners."

"Oh, alright. Just don't go overboard."

"Thank you." Stan and I both said at the same time. We looked at each other and then stuck our tongues out.

"Now with that behavior, I should go with you." Our mom told us. We both looked at one another again and then ran off to our sections. All I heard her say was "Be back in and hour!"

30 minutes later, I was still just picking out clothes, I hadn't tried them on. So far I had 2 pairs of jeans, a dress for formal, and a couple of tee shirts.

"I guess this will be enough…' I thought

"Hey, Sandy. Do you know where your brother is? He went after some girl and now I can't find him." Maxwell asked me.

"No, sorry. Look in the bathing suit section." I told him, looking at what I had in my hand.

"Is it ok if I stay with you? You could show me you outfits or whatever."

"Uh, yeah, sure. I don't mind. Nut I must warn you, it may be a little boring." I smiled

"I think I can deal with it. I've gone shopping with you, Bijou, Pashmina, Penelope, AND Pepper all at the same time, remember?"

FLASH BACK

It was the day after the last day of school and the girls and Maxwell were at the mall. The whole mall was having a huge sale and they just got a huge allowance for their grades.

"Are you sure you don't want to just go some place else and I'll call your cell when were done Maxwell? It may get kind of boring just watching us try on clothes." I asked him

"No, it's ok. The guys are all grounded from their grades and I promised your mom that I would keep you from spending too much." We all laughed

"Yeah right. Like you could keep any of us girls from spendin' too much money!" Pepper exclaimed. "And if you think Sandy is bad at spendin', just wait until you see us, especially Bijou!"

"Well, I do like buying things." Bijou told us. We laughed some more and went to the nearest clothes store. All girls went running to a different section. (Sandy at the pants, Pepper at the Hats, Penelope at the dresses, Bijou at the Jewelry, and Pashmina at the skirts). Maxwell just decided to stand in the corner and let them get this store done. But he was crazy to think it would just be that easy.

"Wahhh!" Pashmina cried out from the dressing room. All of them, exceptme (who was still looking tee shirts) and Maxwell (who didn't wear girl's clothes) were in the dressing room.

"Sandy! We need your help!" Bijou came running out, pulling Sandy with her. About ten minutes later, I came out, probably looking really annoyed.

He laughed at me, "What's wrong? You look like your brother is dating one of our best friends. (This is before Stan and Pashmina and going out, Sandy was kind of pissed when that happened but eventually got into it.)

"Pashmina has gone up 2 sizes this year and is freaking out. Now she is a 5 instead of a 3."

"Oh, is that bad?"

"No, I wear a size 4. It's not bad. But now, I have promised to go on walks with her every morning and put her on a strict diet, that I also have to follow now, so because of it, I am probably going to drop a pant size or 2 as well. This means I will need to find ANOTHER job just so I can pay for new clothes." I sighed. He just started laughing. "And what is so funny?" I demanded

"Nothing, it's just, girls are so funny!"

"Well, I'm glad you find it so funny. If it's so funny, here." I put all of clothes that I was going to buy in his arms. "You don't mind holding these for me while I sort out this hilarious dilemma, do you?" He immediately stopped laughing. "I didn't think so." I then kissed him on the cheek (causing both of us to blush) and went to help the girls with Pashmina. The entire trip was like this.

END FLASH BACK

"Yeah, I guess you'll make it though."

"I like that dress. Is it for the uh, formal?"

"Yeah. It's the best I could find. I hope it fits." (Btw, the dress is red with no straps and goes a little below the knees)

"Are you going with anyone?" He asked

'Oh my God, is he going to ask me?' I thought. "Uh, no, actually."

"Do, you, you know, want to g-"

"Sandy! Hurry up and try those on! We don't have all day, dear!" My mom called to me from the aisle in front of us.

"I guess I better go try these on. I'll be out in a minute."

"Ok, I'll be here."

I raced to try on everything, amazingly, it all fit perfectly, working in my favor. I gathered all of my clothes and rushed out to meet Maxwell, Stan and my mom. After we paid for everything, we got in the car (Maxwell and Sandy are in the backseat. Stan said since he was older than Sandy, he got to sit up there.)And went to go eat lunch.

"Ok, kids. What do you want?" Mom asked us

"Hooters." Stan said

"No way! That place it filled with wanna-be strippers and whores!" I complained

"SANDY NICOLE WILLIAMS!" my mom yelled at me

"Sorry, mom…" I apologized

"Its fine, now what would you like?"

"Olive Garden?"

"NO WAY! I WOULD LOOK LIKE A SISSY IF I WAS IN THERE!" Stan exclaimed

"THEN WE SHOULD GO, YOU WOULD FIT IN! AT LEAST THE WAITORS AREN'T SL-"

"KIDS!" Mom yelled at us. We both jumped but stayed quiet. "Good, I swear, for twins you two are the complete opposite. Now, Maxwell dear, what about you?"

"Uh, Olive Garden sounds good to me." He said. I smiled at him and Stan sighed.

"Ok, Olive Garden it is." Mom said, happy we decided on something so quickly. We drove for about half an hour, talking about random things and listening to music. Finally we go there and they amazingly had a table open.

"This way please." The waitress told us. We followed her to a booth in the back of the restaurant.

'It's amazing that a table is even open. I mean, it's like, lunch time on a Saturday! This day may just be a good one…' (A/N: They are sitting with Stan and Maxwell on one side and Sandy and her mom on the other side. Sandy and Stan are on the inside across from each other)

"Ok, my name is Sara. Do you guys want anything to drink?"

"I'll have a coke, please." I told her

"Ok, one coke. And you, ma'am."

"I'll have a sweet tea, dear."

"Alright. And you?" She asked Stan

"Uh, I guess I'll have Sprite."

"And you sir?" She looked at Maxwell

"I think I'll have a coke too, please."

"Sure thing. I'll be right back to give you your drinks and take your orders."

"Man, she is HOT! Did you see that!" Stan exclaimed excitedly.

I kicked him under the table. "You idiot. You have a girlfriend! Can't you control yourself just this once?"

"You're just jealous." He scoffed

"What!"

"You heard me."

"Why would I possibly be like, jealous?"

"Because you're ugly." he smiled

"Stan, we're identical twins, you moron!"

The smile was wiped off his face. "Oh…"

"So, you're ugly too, I guess." I smirked

"No, I can't be because all of the ladies are after me."

I laughed. "And you think I have guys after me?" Maxwell looked up from his menu and towards me.

"Well, that's different."

"And why is that?" I asked. Stan stayed quiet. "I thought so." Just then, Sara the hot waitress came with our drinks.

"Ok, are you ready to order?" She asked us.

"Yes ma'am." My mom answered

"Ok, what will you have?" She asked mom.

"I'll have the Lasagna. Sandy?"

"Umm, the Greek Salad, Please, with extra dressing."

"Ok and you?"

"A hamburger. And you can call me Stan."

"A-Alright." She wrote his order on her notepad, "And you, sir?"

"I'll have spaghetti, please."

"Ok. Your food should come shortly." And about 15 minutes later, it did. I was careful about eating in front of Maxwell, not wanting to get something on my face or in my teeth. When we were finished we got into the car and went home. Even though I was exhausted, I refused to go to bed, soI laid on the couch to watch a movie. About 10 minutes into it, I fell asleep anyways.
