"So the answer is?" Mr. Aaron asked me for the second time. I was daydreaming about after school. It was so warm in this school, I could not take it. The stupid air conditioner was broken. Thank goodness it was ninth period.
"Lillian!" I jumped in my seat. I hate it when people call me by my real name, Lillian.
"Yes, Mr. Aaron?" I said shaky.
"What's the answer to Problem twenty-eight?" Problem twenty-eight. Problem twenty-eight. I was flipping through my test booklet. The bell rang. I slipped out of my seat and walked fast to my locker. Miley's locker is next to mine. It was the end of ninth period. Home, sweet, home.
"Hey, Miles."
"Hey. So. What can you do tonight?" Miley said fixing her hair into a ponytail.
"I guess we can go to the mall. I need a new pair of sneakers." I said.
"Sure. Ah! The whole BSC could go! How cool is that?" Miley said with a lot of enthusiasm. She had a brilliant idea for once. (It'd be nice if Ashley had one.)
"Okay. We have to hurry up if we want to meet Ashley and Amber in the lobby." I said fast, that she almost didn't catch me. It was too brilliant! We gathered our homework, shoved it into our backpacks and headed to the main lobby.
"Let's sit down." I suggested. We sat down on the benches. After a littlebit, we saw Amber and Ashley walking towards to the front doors, giggling away at something.
"Ashley!" I said.
"Amber!" Miley said. They both turned around and saw us. They pulled themselves to the side with us.
"Miley says she has I 'brilliant idea.'" I told them.
"I thought we could go to the mall together. I've got some cash with me. Oh! Maybe we could use some of the treasury!"
"The treasury?! Are you out of your mind?! We need that for. For. For something else! Like, pizza for a slumber party!"
"Pizza?" Miley asked.
"Yeah. Pizza what's wrong?"
"Uh. Y-your just making me h-hungry. Th-that's all!" She said, nervously and stuttering.
"Okay then, we should hit the mall really soon then. Maybe we can stop by Dino's or something. Yeah, Dino's is a great pizza shop!" Ashley, Amber and I always go to Dino's whenever we go to the mall.
"Oh yeah, I can probably get my mom to drive us there." Ashley said. Her mom always is driving Ashley to the mall for her clothes, so we don't think she'll mind.
"But, what about my job? I'm baby-sitting Jamie Newton today!" Amber said.
"We'll be done before six so don't worry!" I said.
"Alright! Sounds good to me! Just as long we don't use the treasury." I glared at Miley, playfully. We, finally, walked out the front doors.
Miley went to the left of the school, were she lives in town and Amber, Ashley and I took a right, were Bradford Court is. We always have, do, and will walk together to our homes. But, sometimes Ashley's popular friends come over to her.
Every since we entered the seventh grade, she's been cooler. She has better fashion, and suddenly acts as if boys are our heroes, while last year they were like. "Want some ABC gum? Get it?! 'Already Been Chewed!' ABC?" And, like I said, they're Ash's heroes, not mine, hers.
Anyways, when we headed to our homes, Ashley practically plowed her mom over when she opened the front door! (I turned around, from opening the door, when I heard screaming.) I walked up the stairs and threw my backpack on my bed. I ran down the stairs, plowing my mom over, like Ashley did, expect the screaming.
"Mom! Mom! Mom! Can I go to the mall with Ashley, Amber and Miley for dinner? Can I please?"
"Uh, I guess. Do you need a ride?" She asked me, still frightened from the plowing.
"Mrs. DeWitt is giving us a ride there, so don't worry!"
"Okay, I guess then. Come back after dinner then! Bye!" She went back to her cooking.
"Wait! Homework!" Mom has been on my case about homework lately because I have missed some math assignments.
"Did it in study hall!"
That was true. I don't have many study halls anymore, but oh well! I grabbed a cookie out of the cookie jar and headed out the door, then ran over to Ashley's front yard. She was just walking out of her door, with her mother. Then she ran up to me.
"Hey! Hey! Don't worry, I called Miley to tell her we're coming."
Just then, Amber walked out of her house, coming over to us.
"Hey, Lilly. Hey, Ashley!" We climbed into the DeWitts' car, going to pick up Miley.
When we arrived at Miley's house, she had adifferent outfit on. Earlier, she was wearing a pair of very light wash jeans, a Hollister t-shirt and a Hollister hoodie, along with black ballet flats. She had changed her outfit by putting dark wash jeans, black high tops, a black Hollister hoodie and a huge tote.
"Hey, guys!" She said as she hopped into the car. We all talked and talked while Mrs, DeWitt had to go through our talking and drive us to the mall. Within ten minutes, we had arrived at the mall. Mrs. DeWitt dropped us off in front of the mall.
"Okay I'll meet you guys back here at five o clock! 'Kay? Bye!" Mrs. DeWitt drove away as we headed into the mall.
"Oh my gosh, can we go to Dino's now?" Ashley asked.
"Uh, okay," I said, "I guess you're that hungry! Le's go!" So we headed to the food court, where all the restaurants are. Ashley practically ran into Dino's. Thankfully, there was no line, so that satisfied Ashley. When the waiter asked what we wanted, we all ordered something different.
"I'll have two pieces of pepperoni." I placed my order. (And Miley made a face.)
"I'll have a piece of cheese." Amber placed her order.
"I'll have two pieces of cheese, two packs of M&Ms and a Snickers." Ashley placed her order. (Miley made another face.)
"I'll have a salad." Miley placed her order. (I made a face.)
"Alright, we'll call your order soon. You're number thirty-one."
We spotted a table near the corner. Green, white and red surrounded us. So did portraits of pizzas.
"Miley!" Ashley exclaimed, as we sat down. "How, in the world, could you order, a salad? At a pizza place!"
"Well, I'm allergic to, um, one of the pizza ingredients." Miley defended herself. "And, I'm sorry, but, how could you order all that candy?"
"'Cause... I don't know." Ashley gave in and let Miley eat her salad at a pizza place.
"Number thirty-one!" The waiter had called our number.
"I'll get it!" I got up and stood at the counter. He handed me two trays with our pizzas and salad. He told me the grand total and I payed. Ashley came over and helped me by getting a tray.
"Oh! Food!" Amber exclaimed, jumping for her pizza.
"Oh my gosh! Amber! Can you, please, hold on?"
Ashley and I put the trays down and we grabbed the cups and went to the soda fountain. I realized that the soda I get all the time, orange soda, wasn't there! Instead I got a Pepsi. I caught a glance at Miley and she was getting water. I decided to let it go since I didn't want to make a scene in Dino's because I might get banned or something. We went back to our table, we had gotten a booth because all the other tables with chairs were preoccupied. I sat by Miley and Amber and Ashley sat by each other.
Miley slid in the booth, then me. As soon as Amber sat down, she grabbed her plate and dug in. I grabbed mine and took a bite out of the delicious pizza. Ashley opened her Snickers and Miley took a bite out of her salad.
"Hot! Hot!" I exclaimed.
"The waiter warned us that the pepperoni pizzas were hot." Ashley declared.
"I guess I wasn't listening. Oh well!" I sipped out of my Pepsi.
"That's so unlike you, Lilly." Amber said, with cheese hanging out of her mouth.
"Yeah, so is that." Amber wiped her face on her napkin, while we giggled.
We heard laughter at the entrance. Ashley turned around.
"Oh my gosh! Cokie Mason is here!" Ashley exclaimed.
"Who's Cokie Mason?" Miley questioned her.
"She has hated us every since grade three!" Ashley explained.
We watched her cautiously. Thankfully, Cokie and her friends were just getting take out. They all got bottled waters and cheese pizza, and left.
"Gosh, that was close!" Ashley exclaimed.
"I know!" I said, "I wonder where they're going now."
"I sure don't!" Amber exclaimed, biting into her pizza. We all laughed in unison.
We finally walked out of Dino's.
"Why don't we get some ice cream?" Amber asked.
"Sure! Let's go to Sunset!" I suggested, "For dessert!"
We walked across Dino's to a stand called Sunset. We ordered our ice cream.
"I'll have a soft cookie dough in a small cone." I placed in my order.
"I'll have a soft chocolate vanilla twist in a medium cone." Ashley placed in her order.
"I'll have a soft chocolate small cone." Amber placed in her order.
"I'll have a small vanilla cone, please." Miley placed in her order. In no later, we were given our ice creams and we walked around the mall.
"Oh! There's Hollister!" Miley exclaimed, as we finished our ice creams. "Let's go!"
We walked into Hollister, Miley ready to buy something.
All in the end, Miley ended up buying a pair of high tops, a new top and jeans and then Ashley bought a new hat. I bought a new pair of sneakers and Amber bought nothing.
We walked out of Hollister and Amber checked her watch.
"It's quarter to five." Amber announced.
"Good then!" I said, "Where do you guys want to go?"
"Maybe we can go to the arcade!" Amber said.
"Sure! I could use some more tickets." Ashley said.
It was settled, we were going to the arcade. When we arrived, the arcade wasn't as packed because it was a Tuesday.
Miley sighed, "I don't have much money left." But anyways, she popped her last five in the token machine and got twenty tokens to play on games. I got forty tokens, Amber got twenty tokens and Ashley got her thirty tokens. We all decided to start of playing skee ball. I like skee ball a lot because it is quite easy, if you ask me.
We played skee ball for a little bit, then Amber suddenly started to scream.
"Guys! It's five we got to go!" Amber exclaimed. We walked out of the arcade and went back to the parking lot. We spotted Mrs. DeWitt's car and got in. We all got home and Amber went off to baby-sit Jamie Newton, the BSC's first sitting job! We all couldn't wait to hear about it!
