"shit!" lauren cursed as her car key slid off her fingers. she overslept, and was super late to meet kara at the mall. they had planned this for weeks, and today was the only day both their schedules were empty. on weekdays, of course, they have school and for the last weekends, lauren had to babysit her neighbor's kids while the parents went to some wedding party. so now that she had the whole day free, she promised kara that she would be at the mall at 11. now it's 10:45 and lauren was doing everything she could to arrive on time. she had no make up on, and she was feeling so moody today, and she hoped that a whole day with her best friend would change her mood. she had stuffed her lip gloss, mascara and eye liner into her black prada bag so that she could apply some when she met a traffic light or something.

sighing, she bent down and grabbed her car key, unlocked her convertible and went in. she nearly bumped her head against the car. after that she thought it would be safer to let the top down, so she did. she threw her bag on the seat next to her and adjust the rearview mirror. the sun was shining really brightly, so she decided to put on her sunglasses.

she drove as quick as she could, seeing that there was no police around. lauren pulled out her blackberry from her bag and began to type, "i think i'm gonna be late. so sorry." she pressed the send button, her eyes on the screen, not noticing that she was now driving on the other lane. the honk of the other car awakened her, but it was too late. there was a huge scratch on the side of her car but it was still okay to drive.

she parked her car angrily on the parking lot of the mall. it was 11:20 am already and she was frustrated. she tried calling kara but it went straight to voicemail. "i'm here now. where are you?" sweat was starting to roll down her cheeks due to the sun shooting hot rays at her. she fixed her dress, trying to look presentable and neat enough for a girl to be at the mall.

she quickly walked into the air conditioned building, feeling so relaxed and happy to feel the cold air once more. the mall was crowded today. she kept an eye out for kara, but then she decided that she would come if she saw her. while waiting for kara to reply her text, she went into one of the shops, trying on hats and sunglasses. well, she could not really help it. whenever she saw something she liked, she immediately shot at it. it was already in her nature.

Let the rain fall down, but keep on smiling.

Kara woke up at 9:30 and smiled when she realized that today she was going to the mall to hang out with her best friend, Lauren. So, she jumped out of bed and almost ran to the bathroom so she could take a shower and look amazing for today. You never know if you are going to end up meeting a nice looking boy at the mall. After her shower, she ran into her closet with a towel wrapped tightly around her small body. She looked through her closet and pulled out a pair of skinny jeans, a pink/gray dressy top, a gray sweater, her pink purse, and her pink sandals. Next she walked to her jewelry and picked out her necklace that said ‘Disco’; and she laid her outfit on her bed. Again she ran into her backroom with a set of underwear and bra, and blow dried her hair and curled it. When her hair was done she started on her makeup.

She was finally done with hair and makeup, so she walked into her bedroom and pulled her outfit one and moving everything from the purse she used last to the purse she was using now. She pulled her shoes on and made her way down to the kitchen. Her mom had laid some food out and she pulled a muffin before getting her keys into her hand and running out the door to her car. It was only 10:35 but she wanted to make sure that she wasn’t late.

On her way up to the mall, she had gotten a text from Lauren for apologizing for maybe being late. “Its okay, Lauren, I’ll find you when you get there.” She smiled and sent the message before pulling into the parking lot of the mall. Once in a parking space, she got out and locked the car before walking into the mall. She put her phone and keys into her purse and walked into a store that had the most amazing looking hats and sunglasses. She was in there for almost twenty to thirty minutes before she saw that she had a missed car from Lauren. Her eyes rolled at herself and she called back but ended up in a voice mail. She shut her phone and walked around the store some more.

Kara smiled as she bumped into her best friend. “Hey Lauren, we finally run into each other!” She said with a smile.
