"A date?" James yelled through the laptop screen. He was more excited than Adeline.

Adeline blushed. She had expected him to be shocked but not that much. She nodded slightly, confirming that he had heard right.​​

"Hmm... okay, I can't obviously fly down there given I'm broke and the train would take up hours. So listen to me, you go to the mall and face time me there, okay?"

"Okay." She picked the mouse and was about to close the window.

"Gimme a pic of that hot sausage-" Adeline hurriedly shut the window of the Skype call. Her face coloured scarlet red when she realised what she was going to say.

Friday was to tomorrow. She had to go to the mall today. She had lied about her periods that made her father call the school for her. She knew how petty the lie seemed but she couldn't face the humiliation and she really needed a day off plus the lie did come true after an hour and a half. So she didn't lie, technically.

She walked down, taking her dad's credit card that he left her. She walked out in a white crop top and ripped jeans. She wasn't a fan of ripped jeans so she owned just one for the sake of being in trend. Calling for a cab, she climbed in and they drove to the mall.

"Hey, are you there yet?" Without any hello, he got straight to the point.

"Of course I am, I called you after entering forever 21." She replied to James question.

"Okay then! Go to the racks and show me what they got."

Adele did as she was told. She was surveying dresses when a salesgirl approached her and she had no idea how from asking what she was looking for to holding her phone and discussing which dress would look good on her with James. She was trying out dresses as Jenny; the sales girl stood outside and held her phone. She came out, made an awkward pose and waited to be judged.

"No." both the judges disagreed.

She tried out the next one.

"Girl, yellow's not your colour."

"I second to that."

The next one is, she rolled her eyes.

"No,"

"Too floral,"

"That's a lot of cleavage for the first date."

"Nope, not red."

"Ooh, lacy... but No."

"No,"

"I think the red one was bet-"

"Okay Stop!" Adele cried out. She was dead tired; she walked away from the stalls and randomly looked around. She walked around looking and found the perfect dress. Running with it into the stall, she hurriedly tried it on. Opening the door she looked at them, smiling widely at her victory.

"Perfect."

"Little angel grew up."

Her laughter was heard throughout the shop
