CHAPTER TWO:

"You know I think we should go shopping for some new outfits,the school resumes in three days and am literally having a wardrobe crisis" Hazel said talking to Aurelia over facetime.Aurelia rolled her eyes sarcastically,she wasn't the type to always go out and she does most of her shopping online, while Hazel would prefer going to the mall.

"Jeez Hazel...I can swear you have tons of clothes you haven't worn at all" Aurelia said hoping to conceive Hazel not to go for shopping,"I do..but it's doesn't mean I have to wear them or like them" Hazel said still insisting on going for a shopping spree.

After much bantering back and forth, Aurelia gave up."Fine!fine!,I will go"Aurelia said and Hazel smiled happily and in less than thirty minutes,Hazel was at Aurelia's house.

She was about to climb the grand stairs which led to Aurelia's room,but the delightful aroma coming from the kitchen won't let her.

She gave in and let her nose lead her to wherever the aroma was coming from,on getting there she saw Marian the old cook in the kitchen making brownies.

"Woah... Marian the brownies smells so good"Hazel said startling Marian who was so engrossed in whatever she was doing."Hazel..you frightened me there for a bit,came to see Aurelia?" Marian asked."yeah..we are going shopping for school"Hazel said trying to dip her hand in the brownie mix but Marian was quick to catch her hand."Manners young lady" Marian said, Hazel could only pout her pink plumpy lips at Marian.

Marian knew what the pouting meant,so she gave in and gave a slice to Hazel."Mmmm" Hazel said expressing the taste of the brownie,"you are the best Marian,is there anything u can't cook?" Hazel still munching the brownies,Marian could only smile,she was happy it tastes good.

After spending few more minutes with Marian, Hazel went upstairs to meet Aurelia. She went in without knocking and Aurelia was used to it."You really need to learn how to start knocking before entering someone's bedroom"Aurelia while she was seated in front of her dressing table, packing her sliky long hair in a tight messy bun.

"Well, luckily for me,you are not someone"Hazel jumping carelessly on the bed.Aurelia's room is really cozy,she really likes her own space and privacy.

Her room was painted with lilac color,there was a comfy couch placed on the edge of the room where a massive window was.She really loves seeing the sun rise and just enjoy nature.

A portable dressing table,a massive walk in closet,where all her clothes,shoes and bags were arranged in both colors and sizes.

"Do we really have to do this?" Aurelia asked hoping Hazel would change her mind,but she didn't even buldge.

"Do I really have to explain this to you?Wee areee goooing to a neewww schooooll,we don't know what type of girls or boys we might run into,and trust me when I say we are going to surely have people,that don't like us.So we ain't giving anyone the privilege to bully us or have the guts to walk up to us and say sh*t"Hazel said and Aurelia just sighed,she knew what Hazel was saying was right.

"Ugh..fine"Aurelia simply said and went to front of her massive mirror to crosscheck her outfit.She was a black XL t shirt and a baggy jeans with a black Chanel mini bag .Hazel was rocking a blue NBA jersey and ripped baggy jeans,she wore a mini Louis Vuitton bag pack.

And they headed out after Hazel sneaked to the kitchen again to take more brownies, Aurelia could only smile. She was really glad to be Hazel friend.

They went to Brookfield Place located downtown at Battery park city,one of the best malls in New York City.

During shopping, Aurelia only picked a few stuffs,Hazel on the other hand went all in, entering from shop to shop and even buying stuffs she didn't even need.

Aurelia was exhausted because,Hazel wasn't done shopping.Eventually,Hazel was done and they went to an ice cream stall in the mall.

"You know you don't need most of the stuffs you bought right?"Aurelia said slightly arching her eyebrows at Hazel. Hazel rolled her eyes,"yeah yeah,I bought some for my...uhm..." Hazel was stuttering, Aurelia knew she was going to lie.

"Gosh...I just bought because I like them, okay?,so please stop being a mom already and dig into your ice cream"Hazel said and went ahead with her own ice cream while scrolling through her phone,so did Aurelia.

The door bell of the ice cream stall rang, meaning someone just entered,two god like looking boys,both with sexy brown eyes.One was smiling and the other has no emotions showing on his face.

They walked passed Hazel and Aurelia,who were glued to their phones.

"What flavor would you like?"the young beautiful girl at the counter asked,while savouring the looks of these brothers.

"We would like uhm...a mint chocolate chip flavors with extra toppings, thanks"Asher said smiling charmingly at the girl who almost couldn't feel her legs with Asher's smile.

They then went to the table while waiting for their orders."You should often learn to smile more,so you don't get wrinkles"Asher trying to piss Cohen off.Cohen ignored and just scrolled on his phone.

After few more seconds,their orders arrived and they began to dig in.

Hazel and Aurelia were done,they paid their bills and were about to leave,when one of Hazel's shopping bags hit Asher on his head.

The both tables were backing each other,so Hazel didn't noticed her bag hit Asher."Hey you! watch it"Asher said standing up from his seat to face Hazel."excuse me?"Hazel said confused.

"One of your bags hit me and you didn't apologize"Asher said,Hazel took a deep breath because she didn't want to create a scene,and this was so blind he couldn't see she was carrying alot of bags.

"Well,in case you didn't notice dude,I have tons of shopping bags on my hand..so how would you expect me to know if it had hit someone or not"Hazel said refusing to let this guy talk to her like his her boss.

Aurelia could only rub her temples repeatedly,"God.. Hazel just say sorry and let's go" Aurelia said,and her angelic voice got to the ears of Cohen who didn't even raise his head when Asher began his charade.

Cohen slowly raised his head and looked for the source of this soothing sound.Hazel was in the way of Aurelia,so he couldn't see her face.
