Massie called Isaac that the girls were going to the Westchester Mall. Claire watched the girls as they strutted away. She sighed and turned to Layne.
"Why do they have to be so perfect?" she said.
"Well, They have the best clothes, shoes, houses, everything!" Layne said. "Let's just go to the mall."
They started walking and Claire tried to do her best impression of Massie's walk.
"Why in the world are you walking like that?" Layne said with a confused face. She put her hands on her hips.
Claire just shook her head and started walking the way she normally did. They were not too far away from the other girls. Occasionally, Massie turned around to see if Claire and Layne were following them. Claire signaled the other girls to stop and started walking toward Claire and Layne.
"Why are you stalking us?" Massie yelled. Right when she said that, Dylan, Alicia, and Kristen turned around. Claire's face was hot and red from embarrassment.
"Layne and I are going to the mall," she said, putting her hands on her hips, just as Massie did sometimes.
"Yeah, we are going to buy new clothes," Layne said, tugging on to her canvas bag.
Massie rolled her eyes and whispered something to the other girls. Then they continued walking.
When they arrived at the Mall, Dylan, Kristen, Massie, and Alicia headed straight toward Sephora.
Claire checked in her purse and noticed that she only had twenty dollars in her pocket. Layne looked at her and laughed.
"You only have twenty dollars?" she yelled still laughing. She reached into her bag and pulled out thirty dollars. "I don't really use my money. Here," she said handing Claire the money.
"Layne, I can't take this from you. I'll feel guilty," Claire said. She tried to give Layne the money back, but she would not take it back.
"I insist," Layne said. Claire smiled and took the money.
"Come on," she said walking to Macy's.
At Sephora, all of the different makeup enthralled Massie, Dylan, Alicia, and Kristen. Massie could not choose what makeup would look the best on her, so she bought about six bags of makeup. Then she got a phone call. Massie rolled her eyes and picked up her phone.
"Massie Block! Where are you? It is 5:30!" Her mother yelled.
"Really? Are you serious? " Massie yelled for the whole store to hear.
"Be home by six or you're grounded," Massie's mother said as she hung up.
"Girls, we have to go- Now!" Massie yelled to the girls.
She gave the cashier her credit card to swipe, and left the store. Massie shoved her credit card in her back pocket and started to run out of the mall. She did not notice that the card fell out on her way to the exit. She did not know what would happen to her next.
