There Will Be Brighter Skies
New Friends, New Job, New School :)
After Mayra, Bailey, and Kristan hang out with Bailey’s dad for a couple hours, Bailey’s dad leaves to go back to the hotel to relax as Bailey gets up from hanging her legs over the edge of the pier, looking into the ocean.
“How about we get something for dinner?” Bailey says, to Kristan and Mayra while dusting off her ass from all the sand.
“Sure, dinner sounds great I’m getting hungry.” Mayra says, getting up and dusting off her ass from the all the sand as Kristan gets up and does the same.
“Where would you want to go for dinner?” Kris says, as she finishes dusting off her skirt and grabbing her purse.
“Not sure what are you guys in the mood for?” Bailey says, asking taking her keys off from around her neck and holding them.
“How about we drop off our belongings back at home and then we head to dinner? Sound good?” Bailey says, to Kris and May May.
“Sounds good to me” Kris and May May say together.
“Alright let’s go.” Bailey says, walking down the pier, with Mayra and Kris following on either side of her.
Mayra, Kris, and Bailey all head to Bailey’s car as Bailey unlocks her car they all pile in and heads to the condo to drop off their stuff. Upon getting back to the condo and getting inside, Bailey picks up her cat Lily and pets her after that Bailey sets down Lily as she’s free to wonder around.
“Are we ready to go?” Bailey says, placing her bags on the kitchen counter.
“Yes, we are.” Mayra says, nodding at Kristan and Bailey.
“Alright then let’s go.” Bailey says, smiling.
Bailey receives a text from her other bestie Brittney saying.
“Where are you? Could we meet up and Kellin coming with, I hope that’s ok.” Britt says, in a text.
Bailey gets in her car and starts/ revs it up.
“Can you respond to her, Mayra?” Bailey says, handing her phone over to Mayra that is sitting in the front seat.
“Yea sure what do you want me to say?” Mayra says, holding Bailey’s phone ready to text back.
Bailey searches restaurants nearest the condo, and Subway turns up on Atlanta Avenue.
“Ooh Subway.” Bailey says, excitedly.
“Subway good with everyone?” Bailey says, anxiously.
“I’ve never had Subway.” Mayra says, nervously.
“I love it. I’m down with Subway.” Kris says, staring at Mayra with a wide eyed expression.
“Whaaaaat? You’ve never had Subway?” Bailey and Kris say looking shocked at Mayra.
“Nope, I haven’t.” Mayra says, adjusting closer to the window.
“Ok we’re going to Subway then.” Bailey says proudly.
“I’m not going to hit you May May.” Bailey says, in a loving tone.
“Say: We are heading to get dinner. Want to meet us at Subway on Atlanta Avenue. Join us?” Bailey says pointing at her phone while backing out of the drive way.
Mayra types out the message on Bailey’s phone and hits send.
“Ok annnd… Sent” Mayra says, smiling.
“Cool thanks May May.” Bailey says, extending her hand out for her phone as Mayra hands it back.
As soon as Mayra sends a response, Brittney sends one right back.
“Cool we will meet you there in about 10 minutes.” Brittney says, in her text.
“Sweet.” Bailey says, responding back quickly while driving.
Once Bailey, Mayra, and Kris reach Subway on Atlanta Avenue, A girl with long black layered hair with a swoop bang, wearing a white Hello Kitty tank and a white Hello Kitty hoodie with black skinnies and black TOM’s stands there named Brittney and her boyfriend Kellin. Bailey, Kris, and May May get out of the vehicle and run towards Brittney who is standing by the passenger side door of Kellin’s car.
“Britti!!!!” Bailey and Mayra say running at Brittney with their arms open.
“Bailey, and Mayra!” Brittney says, with her arms open smiling.
“We missed you!” Mayra and Bailey exclaim hugging Britt tight.
“Missed you too!” Brittney says, hugging them back.
“We would like you to meet Kristan, she just moved in with us in our condo we would love for you to come check it out after dinner.” Bailey says, smiling.
“We’d love to Bailey, we could follow you guys back, Nice to meet you Kristan.” Britt says, smiling as Kellin puts his arm around Brittney’s waist.
“I Love You.” Kellin says, to Brittney.
“I Love You too babe.” Brittney says, back to Kellin.
“Awwws” Bailey and Mayra say together.
“Nice to meet you too, Brittney.” Kris says, directing her comment towards Britt.
“Well shall we get food?” Bailey says, directing people to the door.
“Yum food.” Kris says, walking next to Bailey as they all go into Subway.
“Say we could order and bring it back to the condo.” Bailey says, tapping her head.
“Good idea.” Brittney says, nodding at Bailey.
“That’s a very good idea, Bails.” Kris says, agreeing with Brittney.
“Then let’s go order some food.” Bailey says, at Mayra and Kris.
Brittney, Kellin, Kristan, Mayra and Bailey all file in line to order their favorite subs to go. As Brittney and Kellin order and pay for their subs they stand there patiently for Bailey, Kris and Mayra to order and pay, when the 3 of them are done ordering and paying they head exit Subway and get into their vehicles and head back to the condo.
Once they get back to the condo everyone gets out of the car following behind bailey because she has the key to the place and she locks her car stepping inside setting her sub on the couch and her drink on the table in front of the couch.
“Wow Bails this is a nice condo did you find it?” Kellin says, smiling at me.
“Yes I sure did find this condo it was probably the least expensive one that I was looking at between the 3 I found.” Bailey says, to Kellin.
“Well everyone relax.” Mayra says, sitting next to Bailey.
“Please do.” Kris says, sitting down next to Bailey.
“How was school today, Britt?” Bailey says while taking a bite of her sub.
“It was good, music class was fun Kellin was writing some lyrics with his mates and I was strumming on a guitar, as usual.” Britt says, smiling
“I’m in music class too, I think I’m in 4th period music.” Bailey says, smiling.
“That’s what hour music is for me.” Britt says, smiling back at Bailey.
“We all have the same music class period, this will be awesome.” Mayra says, smiling as she takes a bite of her sub.
“Badass!” Kris says, while eating her sub.
“I think you guys will love music class, there are some really awesome guys and girls in there. Britt says, smiling and eating her sub.
Brittney, Mayra, Bailey, Kris, and Kellin all finish eating their sub sandwiches and throwing their trash away into the trash in the kitchen, as Bailey grabs her bags from the kitchen counter.
“Can I see your rooms?” Britt says, to the three girls.
“Sure can.” Bailey says, directing her up the stairs.
“Sweet, what’s in the bag?” Britt says, in a curious tone.
“Well in the Spencers bag there are two posters, they are both Jack Sparrow posters one for me and one for Mayra.” Bailey says, as Brittney, Mayra, Kristan follow.
“In the Hottopic bag is a spike brass knuckles necklace, some Rainbow Dash plugs and some cleaning solution for my lip piercings, nose, tongue, and belly button.” Bailey says, smiling.
“Wow. I just got my belly button done.” Britt says, smiling.
“Niiice.” Bailey says, smiling back.
“When did u get it done.?” Bailey says, to Britt as the walk up the stairs.
“I got it about 2 months ago, Kellin was there.” Brittney says, winking at me.
“Awww, that’s adorable.” Bailey says, smiling.
“When do you guys start at Huntington Beach High School.” Britt says, as she reaches the top floor of the house.
“We’re starting next Tuesday.” Bailey says reaching the top floor of the condo.
“Oh cool I can’t wait to be in class with you guys.” Britt says, excitedly and smiling.
“Me neither this will be so much fun.” Bailey says, smiling.
“I agree.” Brittney says, as she walked into Bailey’s room.
“I know my room is a little bland, but what can you expect I just moved in.” Bailey says, in a worried tone.
“No worries, your walls will be covered in little time at all.” Britt says, in a happy tone.
“They sure will with hot band dudes.” Bailey says, smiling.
“So what is our music teacher like?” Bailey says, in a questioning tone.
“Just wait and find out.” Britt says, winking.
“Oh jeez.” Bailey says, in a nervous tone.
“Don’t be worried. He’s an amazing dude.” Britt says, smiling.
“I have to remember to bring my guitar to school.” Bailey says, smiling.
“Don’t forget it.” Mayra says, in a happy tone.
“Thaaaanks.” Bailey says, in a semi sarcastic tone.
“You’re welcome.” Mayra says, sticking out her tongue at Bailey as she does the same back.
“Sooo this is my room.” Bailey says, in an inviting tone.
“It’s big.” Brittney says.
“Yes it is, but I’m ok with that fact.” Bailey says, reassuring Brittney.
“That’s good.” Britt says, smiling.
“Let’s go see the others.” Britt says, walking out of Bailey’s room and into Kris’s room.
“Welcome to my room.” Kris says, as Britt walks in the room.
“That woman is pretty, is that your mom?” Britt says, as she looks at the framed picture on Kris’s bedside table.
“Yup.” Kris says, nodding her head at Britt’s comment.
“She died about two years ago of cancer.” Kris says, as she looks down at the picture.
“Awww, I’m so sorry to hear that Kristan.” Brittney says.
“Thanks. I’m ok just some rough patches here and there.” Kris says, as she holds a necklace that has an angel charm on it and places it over the framed picture so it lies on the bed side table.
“I totally understand. I’ve been there with Bails, because her grandpa passed away too, she was devastated. I could only comfort her with words because I didn’t live near her at the time.” Britt says, looking into Bailey’s room.
“I’m totally happy that she’s closer now.” Britt says, as she smiles.
“That’s good.” Kris says, smiling.
“I’ll talk to you in a bit.” Britt says, while hugging Kris.
“Ok with me.” Kris says, hugging Britt back.
“Good.” Britt says, while walking out of Kris’s room and into Mayra’s.
“Hello.” Mayra says, excitedly as Britt walks in Mayra’s room.
“Hello there, Mayra.” Brittney says, smiling.
“I love this house, well condo.” Mayra says, excitedly.
“I can tell, I’m glad you and Bailey are closer.” Britt says, in a happy tone.
“You can keep me company, when Kellin is hanging with his mates.” Britt says, in her British accent
“Yes I can.” Mayra says, happily.
“Awesome.” Britt says.
“I’m glad that Bailey asked me to move in the condo with her.” Mayra says.
“I’m finally able to get away from Diana, fucking brat.” Mayra says, semi angrily.
Brittney, Bailey, Mayra, and Kris head back downstairs, where Brittney is greeted by her very tired boyfriend, Kellin.
“Hey babe, can we go I’m starting to fall asleep down here on their very comfy couch besides we have school in the morning.” Kellin says, yawning and grabbing his jacket and car keys.
“Oh sure babe, we don’t need you falling asleep on the road.” Brittney says, kissing Kellin’s cheek.
“We will talk to you guys later, Britt you should drive since you seem to be more awake.” Bailey says, hugging Britt.
“Talk to you on facebook?” Bailey and Mayra say, in a questioning tone towards Britt.
“Yep probably for a good hour before I fall asleep.” Brittney says, hugging Bailey, Mayra and including Kris in the group hug.
“Love you guys.” Bailey says, walking them to the door.
“Drive safe.” Mayra says, after Bailey.
“We will.” Kellin says, as he walks towards his car.
Bailey, Mayra, and Kris wave to Brittney and Kellin as they leave from in front of the condo and drive home. Leaving Bailey to receive a text from her father, asking if they want to join him.
“Do you want to join me I want to get me a California beer before I head back to Wisconsin.” Bailey’s dad says, in a text.
“Let me ask Kris and Mayra if they want to join.” Bailey says, responding to the text.
“So I just got a text from my dad asking if we wanted to go to the bar with him so he can get a California beer before he heads back to Wisconsin.” Bailey says, in a nervous tone.
“Sure, I’ll just have soda or water.” Mayra says.
“I’ll go too. I need to socialize a little bit.” Kris says, chuckling at her comment.
“Sweet, should I drive?” Bailey says, in a questioning tone.
“Ask your dad.” Mayra says, before Bailey grabs her car keys.
“True I should probably do that.” Bailey says, texting her dad back.
“Should we take separate cars?” Bailey says, in a text to her dad.
“We could drive together if you want.” Bailey’s dad says, as sends a response back almost as quickly as Bailey sent one out.
“We can take two cars that way, if you have more then two beers then I’m driving you back to the hotel, and Kris will have to follow.” Bailey says in her text to her dad.
“Ok sounds good. Which bar are we going to?” Bailey’s dad says.
“Well I was doing a little bit of research and I’ve heard that Johnny’s bar is supposed to good.” Bailey says, in a text.
“Alright that sounds good. I’ll meet you guys there?” Bailey’s dad says.
“Yep the address is 17428 Beach Boulevard, obviously in Huntington Beach” Bailey says.
“Well then let’s go.” Bailey says, she grabs her car and house key off the kitchen counter while Kris and Mayra are waiting by the front door.
“We’re waiting for you Bails.” Kris says, getting semi impatient.
“I’m coming.” Bailey says, as she walks up by Kris and Mayra and they open the door and proceed out to Bailey’s black Chevy Impala.
When Bailey, Mayra, and Kris reach the car Bailey unlocks it quickly, starting her car and putting in the address for Johnny’s Bar on her GPS and Bailey proceeds to back out of the driveway and pulls onto Beach Boulevard, once reaching the area where Johnny’s Bar is located Bailey pulls into the parking lot right in front of the bar.
“We’re here.” Bailey says, excitedly and getting out of the car, as a silver Grand Marquis pulls into the parking spot next to Bailey’s Chevy Impala, Kris and May May get out following Bailey to the door entering the bar.
“Hello dad.” Bailey says, as her dad walks up, grabs and holds the door open for us.
“Hello girls.” Bailey’s dad says, as he follows us inside.
“It’s nice in here.” Bailey says, as she admires the rock and roll type atmosphere.
“Totally.” Mayra says, immediately commenting afterwards.
“I love it, it looks like a really awesome hang out place.” Kris says, hinting to us.
Bailey, Kris, Mayra and Bailey’s dad walk up to the bar and sits on the bar stool waiting for the bartender to come over and take their order on what they want to drink, as a bartender walks over, so does a 5’ 3” strawberry blonde girl wearing a black Evanescence shirt and grey “destroyed” skinny jeans with her black high top Converse.
“Hello, and welcome to Johnny’s bar I’m Michelle. Would you like to see a menu?” Michelle says, in her heavy Australian accent.
“Yes please.” Bailey’s dad says, looking at Michelle.
“Alright just one second.” Michelle says ,as she disappears off to get a menu.
“Hello I’m Jack. What would you like to drink?” Jack says, as he looks at Bailey.
“I’ll just have a Mountain Dew, please.” Bailey says, looking at Jack.
“And for you?” Jack says, looking at Kris and Mayra.
“I’ll have a Mountain Dew as well.” Mayra says, to the bartender.
“I’ll take a Pepsi, please.” Kris says, looking at the bartender.
“Here is your menu sir.” Michelle says, skipping over with the menu in her hand.
“Hey you guys look new here. Are you?” Michelle says, as she proceeds over next to Bailey, Kris, Mayra.
“Yeah we are new here, I just moved here from Wisconsin.” Bailey says, turning and looking at Michelle.
“Oh cool.” Michelle says, standing there waiting for Bailey’s dad to be done looking at the menu.
“I moved here from Las Vegas.” Mayra says, turning and taking a sip of her soda.
“I moved from Glendora to Huntington Beach, because Bailey asked and I just couldn’t decline.” Kris says, happily.
“I’m ready to order.” Bailey’s dad says, as he waves Michelle over to take his order.
“Sure what can I get you.” Michelle says, with her heavy Australian accent.
“I would like a cheese burger and French fries, and an extra order of fries for the girls.” Bailey’s dad says, pointing to the three girls.
“Thanks dad.” Bailey says, looking back at Kris and Mayra.
“You’re welcome.” Bailey’s dad says, as he kissed Bailey’s forehead.
“God, dad you’re such an embarrassment.” Bailey says, as she chuckles.
“You’re funny.” Bailey’s dad says, chuckling and ordering his beer.
“I’ll take a AleSmith IPA, please.” Bailey’s dad says, looking at Jack.
“Coming right up.” Jack says, as he gets a glass and taps the keg while tilting the glass and then straightening it up.
“Here you go, the total is $12.” Jack says, as he hands Bailey’s dad the beer.
Bailey’s dad paid with a twenty for all four of the drinks and receives $8 back for his change; suddenly Michelle was sitting next to the girls on Kris’s right after dropping off the order to the cooks in the kitchen.
“Hello.” Michelle says, not wanting to startle the three.
“Hello there, Michelle.” Bailey says, looking down the row of barstools at Michelle.
“How old are you guys?” Michelle says, in a curious tone.
“We’re 17.” Bailey, Kris, Mayra say, together looking at Michelle.
“What about you?” Bailey, Kris and Mayra say, towards Michelle.
“I’m 17 also.” Michelle says, looking at Bailey, Mayra, and Kris.
“Sweet, I’m Kris btw.” Kris says, smiling and offering her hand to Michelle.
“I’m Bailey.” Bailey says, smiling and offering out her hand to Michelle.
“I’m Mayra.” Mayra says, smiling and turning to Michelle.
Michelle hears a ding from the kitchenette area of the bar and gets up from the bar stool and proceeds to the counter to get the food that Bailey’s dad ordered, she proceeds to the bar where he is sitting and gives him his food.
“Here’s your cheeseburger with fries.” Michelle says, setting down the plate with silverware in front of Bailey’s dad with a smile.
“Here is the side order of fries.” Michelle says, setting them down in the middle between Bailey, Kris, and Mayra with a smile.
“Thanks.” Mayra says, smiling.
“Do you have any smaller plates?” Bailey says, putting her hands in half circles over the bar.
“Yeah one second.” Michelle says, as she heads to the kitchen and gets 3 plates and she brings them back to the girls.
“Here you go.” Michelle says happily as she sets down the plates in front of each girl.
“So where do you go to high school?” Bailey says, looking at Michelle as sits down next to Kris.
“I go to Huntington Beach high.” Michelle says, happily.
“My boyfriend goes there too.” Michelle chimes in with a smile.
“Really what’s his name?” Kris says, looking at Michelle.
“Danny. Danny Worsnop.” Michelle says, gleaming.
“Awesome how old is he?” Bailey says, in a questioning tone.
“He’s 17 like me and, you guys.” Michelle says, smiling.
“Sweet can we meet him sometime?” Bailey says, smiling.
“Of course, when do you start school at Huntington Beach?” Michelle says, in a curious tone.
“We start next Tuesday.” Bailey says, talking for Kris, Mayra and of course herself.
“Oh awesome what is your schedule like.” Michelle says, as the curiosity gets the best of her.
“Well I’m not sure exactly yet.” Bailey says, with an uneasy tone.
“We have yet to get our schedules in the mail.” Kris says, pointing at Bailey and Mayra.
“They will probably come tomorrow. Considering you guys just moved and probably applied when you were still Wisconsin, Vegas.” Michelle says, in a positive mood.
“Hopefully they arrive tomorrow.” Bailey says with hope in her voice.
“If they don’t, give the school a call.” Bailey’s dad says, while ordering another AleSmith IPA.
“Dad I’m driving you back to the hotel.” Bailey says, while looking at her dad.
“No need to put people in danger.” Bailey’s dad says, while he clinks his beer glass with Bailey’s glass.
“No we don’t and we don’t need you to get arrested in California.” Bailey says, pushing her dad’s beer glass away.
Bailey takes her dad’s car keys off the bar and puts them in the pocket of her My Little Pony Rainbow Dash hoodie.
“Let me know when you’re ready to go.” Bailey says, to her dad.
“Ok I will.” Bailey’s dad says looking at the TV screen while finishing up the rest of his fries.
“I get off soon at 9, and I was wondering if I could possibly get a ride back to my house my dad works 3rd shift.” Michelle says, in a pleading type tone.
“Of course we can all you have to do is direct us to where you live.” Bailey says, smiling.
“Awesome thanks.” Michelle says, smiling and offering $5 for gas.
“Keep it Michelle.” Bailey says, putting her hand up.
“Are you sure?” Michelle says, in a questioning type tone.
“Yes, I’m sure. I already consider you a friend.” Bailey says.
“You’re a nice person. So aka I’ll friend you.” Bailey says, smiling.
“Aww, you’re too kind.” Michelle says, smiling at me.
“Thanks.” Bailey says, smiling.
“No problem.” Michelle says, looking at me.
“Have you applied anywhere to work.” Michelle says, sipping on some water.
“We just applied at Hottopic.” Kris and Bailey say, in unison.
“Sweet, and you.” Michelle says, looking at Mayra.
“I kind of just want to babysit in the area.” Mayra says, looking at Michelle.
“There seems to be a lot of kids by our condo.” Mayra says, with a smile.
“Oh awesome.” Michelle says, looking at Mayra.
“I love Huntington Beach already.” Bailey says, smiling.
“That’s good.” Michelle says, looking at her cell phone and smiling.
“My shift is over.” Michelle says, taking off her work apron and shoving it in her backpack.
“Awesome. Is there someone that’s supposed to come in after your shift?” Bailey says, looking at the door.
“Yea her name is Kelly.” Michelle says, looking at her phone.
Michelle proceeds to text Kelly asking her where she is because she is late for work.
“Kelly where are you, your late my shift is over.” Michelle replies, in a text.
“I’m on my way now.” Kelly says, in her text.
“My dad is almost done with his beer so we have about 10- 15 minutes left.” Bailey says, looking at his almost empty beer glass.
“I’- I’m almost done.” Bailey’s dad says, while slurring his words.
“We know dad.” Bailey says.
“Who knew he could get tipsy off two beers.” Mayra says.
“It’s an IPA, IPA usually has more alcohol then normal beer.” Bailey says, to Mayra.
“Where’s Kelly?” Jack says, looking at Michelle.
“She just texted me telling me she’s on her way.” Michelle says, back to Jack.
“Ugh. She’s late. Again?” Jack says, in a snappy tone while looking at his watch.
“What gives her the right to be late to work?” Michelle says, in a curious tone.
“She doesn’t have a right to be.” Jack says.
“Is Jack working tonight?” Kelly says, over a text.
“Yes he is working, he’s been here since the start of my shift.” Michelle says, replying to the text.
“Shit this isn’t good. What time was the start of your shift?” Kelly says, sending a text back to Michelle.
“3, this afternoon. I was here on time.” Michelle responds, getting minorly upset with Kelly.
“It’s ok Shells.” Jack says, taking Bailey’s dads empty basket that the fries were in and the dirty plates back to the kitchen.
“Thanks Jack.” Michelle says, calling back as he walks to the kitchen.
“I owe you one Michelle, thanks for waiting.” Kelly says, in a text.
“Yeah whatever.” Michelle says, putting an emoticon after her message.
Jack walks back and behind the bar he goes.
“You can leave Shells; I don’t want to keep you any longer.” Jack says.
“Uhh.” Michelle manages, to get out as she puts her phone in her pocket.
“You alright there Michelle?” Bailey says, in a concerned tone.
“Yeah, Kelly is just annoying as fuck.” Michelle says, putting a set of keys around her neck.
“I had a friend like that back in Wisconsin; well I don’t exactly call her a friend anymore.” Bailey says, looking at the flat screen panel TV.
“Kelly is 18 and she got held back at school, she goes to Huntington Beach high.” Michelle says, putting her hands on her head.
“She’s a fucking idiot.” Jack says, looking at the four girls.
“She’s never on time, anywhere she goes.” Michelle says, while staring down at the bar.
“I can tell.” Bailey says, chuckling.
“Is she one of those preppy chicks?” Bailey says, in a curious tone.
Michelle and Jack both look at me with a wide eyed expression, as Bailey looks up from her phone.
“I take that as a yes?” Bailey says, in a confused tone.
“You’re corr-” Jack says, getting cut off as the door opens to the bar and it’s Kelly.
“You’re late again, Kelly.” Jack says, in an unenthused tone.
“I know I’m sorry I was busy babysitting my neighbor’s kid, the kid’s parents just got home.” Kelly says, in a sad tone.
“Get to work. I’m not taking anymore of your sob stories anymore.” Jack says, pointing at the back room where a group of guys were having a bachelor party.
“Why do I have to clean that room.” Kelly says, in a whiny tone.
“You signed up for the fucking job. Get to work.” Jack says, raising his voice.
Kelly scurries off to the kitchen a grabs cleaning supplies and rushes to the back room where the bachelor party was and starts cleaning the mess.
“You get the day off tomorrow, Michelle.” Jack says, looking at Michelle.
“Thanks, Jack.” Michelle says, happily.
“You’ve worked hard this week.” Jack says, in his softy tone voice.
“Why don’t I get off tomorrow, Jack?” Kelly says, in a whiny tone.
“Because you’re always coming into work late.” Jack says, raising his voice and getting angrier at Kelly.
“Damn it, she’s so fucking stupid” Jack says, shaking his head.
“I feel bad for you Jack.” Bailey says, looking at him.
“Thanks, but I’m the one responsible, I’m the one that hired her.” Jack says, putting his hands on his head trying to rub his headache away.
“Here.” Bailey says, taking two Tylenol out of a Ziploc bag and handing them to Jack.
“Thanks.” Jack says, taking them from Bailey, and popping them in his mouth and taking a sip of his Mountain Dew he has behind the counter.
“No problem.” Bailey says, sipping her Mountain Dew.
Bailey’s dad takes the last sip of his beer and sets down the glass.
“Ahhhh. That was great.” Bailey’s dad says, while paying Jack for his food.
Bailey’s dad leaves a $10 tip for Michelle.
“Michelle, take it.” Jack says, handing Michelle the tip.
“Are we ready?” Bailey says, while walking towards the door with her dad.
“I’m driving you back to the hotel dad. I’ve got you keys.” Bailey says.
“Talk to you later Jack.” Michelle says, hopping off the barstool.
Mayra and Kris hop of the barstools as they push the glasses closer together for Jack to grab.
“Thanks girls.” Jack says, nodding at Mayra and Kris as they walk closer towards Michelle, Bailey and Bailey’s dad.
“We will see you real soon.” Bailey says, looking back at Jack.
Jack nods at the acknowledgement as Bailey pushes the door open leading her dad and the rest outside towards the car as Bailey unlocks both the cars.
“Kris would you be as so kind to drive my car please?” Bailey says, opening the door for her dad to get in the passenger seat.
“No problem.” Kris says, as Bailey hands the keys to Kris.
“You’re going to follow me back to the hotel right Kris?” Bailey says, heading over to the driver side door.
“Yep that’s the plan.” Kris says, jingling Bailey’s car keys.
“Alright my dad printed off directions for me so, follow me?” Bailey says, getting in the silver Grand Marquis.
“You can get in the back seat of this car Michelle.” Kris says, pointing to the back.
“Alright cool. I didn’t know which car to get into.” Michelle says, opening the door and getting in.
“You could have gotten into either one, actually.” Kris says, starting the car and backing out of the parking spot as Bailey does the same.
Bailey and Kris pull on to the road driving towards the hotel where Bailey’s parents are staying while their time in Huntington Beach.
“We’re here dad.” Bailey says, parking the car in an empty parking spot and walking with her dad to the elevator in the lobby of the hotel and proceeds to the elevator helping him in and pressing the floor he’s on.
Bailey proceeds to call her mother to meet her dad at the elevator.
“Hello.” Bailey’s mom says, answering the phone.
“Mom, dad is coming up in the elevator make sure you meet him there he had two IPA’s and is a little tipsy, I want to make sure he gets to the room ok.” Bailey says, walking out of the double glass sliding doors back to the parking lot.
“I can do that. Thanks Bailey.” Bailey’s mom says, in a pleasant tone.
“I drove him back to the hotel and I put his car keys in his pocket so he has them.” Bailey says, while walking up to her car.
“Alright mom well I have to take someone home from work, I’ll talk to in the morning.” Bailey says, getting in her car.
“Ok sweetie, talk to later. Call me when you guys get back to the condo.” Bailey’s mom says, upon reaching the elevator.
“Goodnight mom.” Bailey says, while hanging up the phone.
“So Michelle, where do you live?” Bailey says, turning and looking at Michelle.
“I live off of Sunset. Not in the circle itself but at the beginning of the block.” Michelle says, looking up from her phone.
“Oh ok I know exactly where I’m going then.” Bailey says, smiling and starting up the car.
“You do?” Michelle says, in a happy tone.
“Yep, we live on that street.” Bailey says, smiling.
“Awesome.” Michelle says, smiling.
“We’re neighbors!” Michelle says, excitedly.
“Totally sweet.” Bailey says.
“If you need a ride home from school sometimes we can do that for you.” Bailey says, looking at Michelle in the rearview mirror.
“Awesome.” Michelle says, while writing down her number on a piece of paper from her backpack and handing it to me.
“Text me or call me, if you need me.” Michelle says.
Bailey slows down upon reaches the street that their condo is on.
“This is it!” Michelle says, pointing to her house.
“Cool.” Bailey says, pulling into Michelle’s drive-way.
“Thanks so much Bailey.” Michelle says, with a smile.
“No problem at all. I’m happy to help.” Bailey says, smiling and waiting for Michelle to get in her house safetly.
Once Michelle gets into her house safely, Bailey pulls out of the drive way and down the street the condo is on and she pulls into the drive way and everyone gets out, Bailey proceeds to lock the car and goes and unlocks the house and Bailey, Mayra, and Kris all run in.
“I think I’m going to change into my pajamas and go on facebook, twitter, and tumblr to check to see what’s up.” Bailey says, putting her keys on the key rack and walking up the stairs.
“I’m going to do the same.” Kris says, following Bailey up the stairs.
“Down time sounds great right now.” Mayra says, agreeing with Bailey as she turns off the lights to the living room and walking up behind Kris and Bailey.
Kris, Mayra, and Bailey all get changed into their pajamas check onto facebook, twitter, tumblr. They post all the crazy and awesome stuff they did/ bought over the day and eventually the girls all fall asleep.
The next morning Bailey wakes up to her dad calling again.
“Hi dad.” Bailey says, yawning and groaning.
“Hello kiddo.” Bailey’s dad says happily.
“Would you guys want to go to breakfast?” Bailey’s dad says, into the phone.
“Dad I just got up. Could we possibly get a late lunch or something? We girls need to get school supplies. School starts next Tuesday for us. Besides I need to get my hair cut, it’s getting a bit shaggy looking.” Bailey says, as she gets up from bed and walks downstairs with her laptop.
“Alright we could do that if you want unless you just want to spend time with your friends.” Bailey’s dad says.
“I kind of would just like to spend the day with my friends dad. We need to get a feel for the neighborhood and the surroundings.” Bailey says, sighing.
“Ok then call me later, love ya kid” Bailey’s dad says, semi happily.
“Love ya too dad.” Bailey says, hanging up the phone.
Kris walks down the stairs to meet Bailey as she flips on the TV and turns on My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic.
“Good morning, Bails.” Kris says, happily as she sits down next to Bailey.
“Good morning, Kris.” Bailey says, rubbing her eyes.
“Are you ok?” Kris says, in a concerned tone.
“Yeah, I’m tired. My dad decided to wake me up with a phone call again.” Bailey says, in a growly tone.
“Awww I’m sorry Bails.” Kris says, rubbing Bailey’s back.
“He asked if we wanted to go to breakfast again.” Bailey says, looking at Kris.
“What did you tell him?” Kris says, looking at Bailey.
“I told him maybe a late lunch and that we all have to get school supplies.” Bailey says, logging on her laptop.
“Oh ok. I have to get my hair cut for school and school supplies.” Kris says, while yawning.
“As do I. To both.” Bailey says, playing with her hair.
“Hey we should get McDonalds and Starbucks for all three of us? Kris says, looking at me with a smile.
“Sounds good to me. I’m pretty sure Mayra will be ok for a little bit while were gone.” Bailey says getting up and putting her laptop on the table next to the couch and sends a text to Mayra saying.
“Mayra we (me and kris) are heading to Starbucks and McDonalds to get some breakfast. Just so you know that were not leaving you behind.” *Sent*. Bailey says, in a text to Mayra.
“Get your keys and let’s go.” Kris says, putting on her slippers.
“Okies.” Bailey says, smiling grabbing her car keys and putting on her slippers.
“Are we going through the drive thru?” Kris says, looking down at her pajamas.
“Yes, I hate going into restaurants looking like shit.” Bailey says, chuckling to herself.
“Bails you’re funny.” Kris says, opening and walking out the door.
“Thanks, I try.” Bailey says, following Kris out the door, shutting and locking it behind herself.
“You don’t have to try.” Kris says, smiling at Bailey.
“Sometimes I do.” Bailey says, walking to and unlocking her car also getting in her car.
“Nah Bails, you’re a perfect friend. Kris says, smiling.
“Awww stahp it!” Bailey says, blushing.
“Noo, I refuse.” Kris says, winking at me.
Bailey starts up the car backing the car out of the driveway, she searches up McDonalds and Starbucks near the condo.
“Alright lets go to Starbucks on Atlanta Avenue, then drive to Beach Blvd.” Bailey says, driving past Michelle’s house and turns onto the road off the street that the condo is on.
“Do you have your iPod with you Kris?” Bailey says, as she drives towards Atlanta Avenue.
“Yeah I do. What would you like to listen to?” Kris says, plugging her iPod into the plug that Bailey has in her car.
“Tidal Wave by Owl City it explains why I moved from Wisconsin in the first place almost perfectly.” Bailey says, humming along before the music even starts playing.
“Got it.” Kris says, as she clicks the center button on her iPod and it starts playing.
“Cool thanks.” Bailey says, smiling as she taps her fingers on the steering wheel.
“Welcome.” Kris says, smiling.
“So if we want to get our haircut and get school supplies.” Bailey says, while keeping her eyes on the road.
“After we get back with food and we all eat and get ready.” Kris says, while playing a game on her phone.
“Sounds like a plan to me.” Bailey says, adjusting her glasses and turning into the drive thru/ parking lot of McDonalds.
“What do you want? It’s on me this morning.” Kris says, looking at me.
“Kris are you sure?” Bailey says, looking at Kris.
“Absolutely.” Kris says, happily.
“I’ll get Starbucks.” Bailey says, looking at Kris.
“No that’s also on me.” Kris says in a firm voice.
“Okies are you 100% sure?” Bailey says, in a sad puppy dog type whimper.
“Yes.” Kris says, looking at Bailey.
Bailey pulls up and orders 3 sandwich combo meals with three Orange juices, and pulls up to the cash register window as Kris hands the money to Bailey and she hands the money to the woman in the window, receives the change as she hands it off to Kris and proceeds to pull up to the window to receive the food, as she pulls out of the Mcdonalds drive thru and proceeds to go to Starbucks to get coffee. Upon reaching the Starbucks drive thru/ parking lot, Bailey drives to the drive thru and orders 3 iced coffees with cream and Kris hands the money to Bailey as she hands it to the guy in the window.
“Is it ok if I put it in the tip jar?” Bailey says, looking at Kris.
“Go for it. I love Starbucks. They deserve tips.” Kris says, smiling.
“Do you need a carrying thing for the coffees?” Bryan says, from the window.
“Yeah that would probably be a good thing.” Bailey says, as she looks at her full cup holders.
“Ok I can get that for you.” Bryan walks away, grabs a paper cup holder and walks back as he hands it to Bailey.
“Thank you for stopping at Starbucks.” Bryan says, smiling.
Bailey nods at Bryan and drives out of the parking lot and heads back to the condo, upon reaching the street that the condo is on she pulls into the drive way and parks as Bailey and Kris get out of the car, unlocks the door to the condo and finds the TV still on and Mayra still asleep.
“Jeez Mayra loves to sleep.” Kris says, setting down the food and iced coffees on the coffee table in front of the couch.
“I know right.” Bailey says, setting down the 3 orange juices on the coffee table along side the iced coffees.
“Do you think I should go wake up Mayra?” Kris says, in a concerned tone.
“If you want to, I can check out local Hair salons near by.” Bailey says, sitting down and grabbing her laptop from the table next to the couch.
“I think I might go wake her up, I don’t want her to starve.” Kris says, heading up the stairs towards the bedrooms.
Kris goes upstairs and to Mayra’s bedroom, as Bailey searches up hair salons and a Walmart nearest the condo, as Kris reaches the top of the stairs she heads to Mayra’s bedroom and knocks on the door but gets no answer.
“Mayra?” Kris says, in a concerned tone and knocking again.
“Mayra?” Kris says, again, this time opening the door and seeing Mayra still in bed.
Kris proceeds in the door and goes over to the side of Mayra’s bed and lightly shakes her awake.
“Mayra, we got McDonalds and Starbucks coffee, wake up.” Kris says, poking Mayra awake.
“Food?” Mayra says, turning and facing Kris.
“Yes food.” Kris says, coaxing Mayra out of bed.
“Come on get some food.” Kris says, as she walks out of Mayra’s room and down the stairs towards the living room where Bailey is sitting there with her laptop on her lap and sipping on orange juice.
“Well I got her up, Bails.” Kris says, as she sits on the couch and sees Mayra coming down the stairs and sitting in between Bailey and Kris.
“I see that.” Bailey says, smiling and gives Mayra a bacon egg and cheese bagel and hashbrown from McDonalds.
“Yum.” Mayra says, smiling.
“So what’s our plan of attack for today?” Mayra says, as she takes a bite of her sandwich.
“Well Kris and I both agreed we have to get our haircuts for school, and we have to get school supplies.” Bailey says, taking a bite of her bacon egg and cheese bagel.
“Oh god I need to get my hair cut too and school supplies. Good idea you guys.” Mayra says, taking the last bite of her sandwich and she starts eating her hashbrown.
“I think I hear the mail truck coming.” Bailey says, finishing up eating her sandwich.
“I’ll get it.” Bailey says, getting up and putting on her slippers as she walks out the door.
“Well that was fast. She must want to see if we got our school schedules.” Kris says, looking outside the window.
“I hope so we don’t have much longer to wait to get them.” Mayra says, getting excited as she watches My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic on the flat screen TV.
Bailey receives the mail and there are 3 envelopes from Huntington Beach High School as Bailey walks back into the condo to deliver the envelopes to Kris and Mayra.
“What is in the mail?” Mayra says, looking at Bailey holding the 3 envelopes.
“We got our schedules.” Bailey says, handing the envelopes to Kris and May May.
“Oh my god!” Mayra says, as she jumps off the couch and sits back down with the envelope in hand as she starts opening it.
Kris and Bailey start opening their envelopes.
“What does your schedules look like.” Bailey says, looking at Mayra and Kris.
“My schedule is. 1st Period is Gym, 2nd Period is Spanish, 3rd Period is Math, 4th is Music, after 4th is lunch, 5th is English, and 6th is Visual Arts.” Mayra says, looking at Bailey.
“My schedule is. 1st Period is Gym, 2nd Period is a Free Period or study hall, 3rd Period is Science, 4th Period is Music, then lunch, 5th Period is English, 6th Period is Visual Arts.” Bailey says, looking at Kris.
“My schedule is. 1st Period is Cooking, 2nd Period is a Free Period, 3rd Period is Math, 4th Period is Music, lunch then 5th Period is English, and 6th Period is Science.” Kris says, looking at Mayra and Bailey.
“Well we still need to get school supplies.” Mayra says, looking at Bailey.
“Yes we do and I will make a call to this hair salon for appointments on main street. It’s right by Ihop which we ate at yesterday morning.” Bailey says, looking and nodding at Mayra and Kris as they head up the stairs to take a shower and get ready.
Bailey dials the number to the salon which she found online that also has a lot of good reviews and tells us to see someone named Dahvie.
“Hello thank you for calling Main Street Hair Company. This is Amy, how may I help you?” Amy says, over the phone.
“Hi, I’m Bailey I was wondering if you had any openings available for Dahvie?” Bailey says, happily.
“How many he has 3 available left.” Amy says.
“Well I have to get my haircut and my 2 friends have to get them done too.” Bailey says, bounding up the stairs.
“What are your friend’s names so I can write them in the book.” Amy says, scribbling down on the paper in front of her.
“Kristan is with a K, and Mayra.” Bailey says, spelling it out.
“Thank you, your appointments are at 3:45, 4, and 4:15.” Amy says, happily.
“You’re welcome and thank you.” Bailey says, smiling.
“Have a nice day.” Amy says, happily.
“You too.” Bailey says, happily and hangs up the phone.
“Kris and May May.” Bailey says, getting their attention.
“Yes?” May May and Kris says, as they both pop their head out of the door ways.
“Haircuts at 3:45, 4, and 4:15.” Bailey says, as she walks in her room to get ready.
“Awesome, Thanks Bails.” Kris says as she walks in her room smiling.
“Thank you Bailey.” Mayra says, as she walks back in her room and smiles.
“You’re welcome.” Bailey says, as she shouts it to Kris and Mayra.
Bailey picks out her black A Day To Remember shirt with a wolf on it, with her black skinnies with straps, rainbow belt, her black Vans her black and white checkered hair bows, and rainbow style makeup with a black wing.
Kris picks out her black tube top with a bow across the waist, her jean mini skirt, a gold ring with purple flowers, music note earrings, a necklace that says *Dance* a black cord bracelet with gold studs, her white purse with a gold handle and her cream colored flip flops.
Mayra picks out her Falling In Reverse Zombie shirt with her black shorts with a distressed cut off skull on the pocket, black ankle socks, her Zombie Girl necklace and her black converse.
Bailey, Kris, and Mayra all head into their bathrooms and shower, when they are done they decide to get dressed and walk down stairs and sits on the couch being that its only 12:30 pm.
“I was thinking about signing up for a Costco membership so we can buy in bulk for the house and wont have to keep making trips to Walmart all the time we need something. God knows that were going to need toilet paper and monster energy.” Bailey says, sitting on the couch.
“That is true.” Kris says, chuckling.
“Do you think your dad would sign you up for an account at Costco?” Mayra says, looking at Bailey.
“Yeah he probably would.” Bailey says.
“Should I call him and ask him?” Bailey says, looking up closest Costco locations to Huntington Beach.
“I would.” Mayra says, while being Twitter on her laptop.
Bailey decides to text her dad to ask if they could get a membership to Costco being that they would need a lot of toilet paper and a lot of other necessities for around the house. Bailey’s dad said yes and to get directions for the closest Costco to the condo and decide when they want to leave.
“My dad said yes!” Bailey exclaims excitedly.
“Awesome.” Mayra says, excitedly.
“Sweet.” Kris says, looking at the TV screen.
“The nearest one closest to the condo is in Cypress, California.” Bailey says, to her dad in a text not wanting to actually speak to him over the phone.
“Ok ill look up those directions, just let me know when the 3 of you want to go.” Bailey’s dad says, in a text back.
“Sure will, the 3 of us have haircuts at 3:45, 4, and 4:15.” Bailey replies, to her dads text.
“We could go after your haircuts.” Bailey’s dad says, as he replies to Bailey’s text.
“We all tend to get a little itchy after our showers, so we’ll come back home and shower to get all the hair off our backs.” Bailey says, in a text.
Bailey waits for a response from her dad, but doesn’t get one.
“Shall we go get our school supplies?” Bailey says, as she gets up grabbing the trash and putting it in the garbage can in the kitchen.
“Yep.” Mayra and Kris say, together getting up from the comfy couch as they grab their iced coffees and walking out the door.
Mayra, Kris, and Bailey all head out of the condo locking up and heading to Bailey’s car, Bailey starts up the car as she backs out of the drive way and proceeds to drive to Walmart to pick up plenty of school supplies for their first day of school the following Tuesday.
Once getting to Walmart and getting all the school supplies they need getting confused where to find all the office/ school supplies Kris, Bailey and Mayra all head back towards Main Street for their haircuts now it being 3:30 pm. Mayra, Bailey and Kris find Main Street Hair Company. Bailey, Mayra, Kris all walk in and up to the counter. Bailey brought a picture of a choppy layered haircut that she wants.
“Hello there. I’m Amy and welcome to Main Street Hair Company.” Amy says, looking up from the counter.
“We’re here for our 3:45, 4, and 4:15 appointments with Dahvie.” Bailey says, as she looks around and spots non other then Dahvie Vanity.
“Oh my god!” Bailey says, slapping Kris on the arm.
“What?” Kris says, as she rubs her arm.
“Look!” Bailey says, pointing into the direction in which Dahvie is.
“Oh my dear god.” Kris says, turning Mayra’s head also spotting Jayy Von Monroe.
“Oh god.” Mayra says, as she goes and sits down in a chair to catch her breath.
“You ok over there?” Bailey says, as she follows Mayra and she sits in the chair next to Mayra.
“Almost got week at the knees if you know what I mean.” Mayra says, as she fans herself with an Alternative Press magazine near by.
“I know what you mean, I get like that when I see a hot band dude.” Kris and Bailey say, as Kris sits next to Bailey in a chair.
“Dahvie your next three appointments are here.” Amy says turning around as Dahvie is just finishing up with Jayy’s hair.
“Alright, I’m almost done with my client, Amy.” Dahvie says, looking at Amy.
Dahvie’s other career is being in a band, his band is Blood On The Dance Floor and his other band mate is Jayy who is in the same shop at this very moment.
“All done with Mr. Monroe here.” Dahvie says, as he walks up to the counter.
“Who’s first?” Dahvie says, as he looks over at the three girls.
“I will.” Bailey says, blushing and raising her hand.
“Alright come on back.” Bailey says, walking up to him and handing him the picture she brought.
“You want this haircut?” Dahvie says, smiling.
“Yep.” Bailey says, smiling and blushing at him.
“You’re adorable.” Dahvie says, smiling back at Bailey causing her to giggle.
“Take a seat.” Dahvie says, pointing to the chair as he props the picture of a girl that has a choppy layered haircut against his mirror.
Dahvie begins to spray down Bailey’s hair with water from the water bottle on his workstation, puts the plastic cape over Bailey’s shoulders and proceeds to cut Bailey’s black hair like the one in the picture Bailey handed him earlier.
“You’re all set.” Dahvie says, as he finishes up.
“Who’s next.” Dahvie says as Kris gets up and walks over to his workspace.
“Well hello gorgeous.” Dahvie says, as he winks at Kristan.
“Not so bad yourself.” Kris says, giggling like a school girl.
Kris proceeds to sit in Dahvie’s chair to get her haircut.
“Just a trim is all I need.” Kris says, smiling.
“Alright I can do that for you. Sit tight.” Dahvie says, as he sprays Kris’s hair with the spray bottle and puts the plastic cape over Kris’s shoulders.
Dahvie goes onto cut Kristan’s hair taking off about an inch so it gives it a fresh look and no more split ends and a swoop bang on the left
“All done.” Dahvie says, as he puts his comb back in the sterilizer container and gets out a clean pair of scissors.
“Thank You.” Kris says, winking at Dahvie and walking back over to Bailey and sitting down.
“Last but not least.” Dahvie says, turning around and looking at Mayra smiling.
Mayra gets up, walks over and sits down in the chair smiling as Dahvie puts the plastic cape over Mayra’s shoulders, sprays her hair with water from the bottle and proceeds to give her a swoop bang to the left, and takes off an inch of hair.
After Mayra, Kris and Bailey get their haircuts, Dahvie meets them at the counter to have them pay for the haircuts as they are done Dahvie slips them his, Jayy’s, and Jeffree Star’s number even though Jeffree is busy at the studio recording new music. The note includes the numbers and says *Call if you need anything*. The girls took that as a hint and they slipped the numbers in their pockets and left to go back to the condo to shower off the hair off of their backs and change into different clothes.
When the girls are done changing, Bailey calls her dad to tell him that it’s a go, to go to Costco to sign up for a membership with her dad so they all drive out to the nearest Costco in Cypress which is 24 minutes away from the condo, the decide that it would be a good idea to pick up toilet paper and Monster energy in a 36 pack they head back to the condo and Bailey’s dad heads back to the hotel. A few days go past and finally on the Sunday before school, Kris and Bailey get a call from Shannon the manager at Hottopic.
“Hey is this Kris and Bailey.” Shannon says, in a good mood.
“Yes this is Kris and Bailey.” Kris says, as she puts the phone on speaker phone.
“Ok good wasn’t sure but since you both have the same address on the applications I just figured I would call one phone and talk to you both.” Shannon says, again in a good mood.
“So my co-manager Stephie and I have decided that we would like to schedule an interview with the both of you, if tomorrow Monday late morning, say around lunch time at Olive Garden on Beach Boulevard.” Shannon says, in a continued happy mood.
“Sure I guess that should work.” Bailey says, smiling.
“Yep it should work.” Kris says, sounding positive.
“Great see you guys at 12?” Shannon says.
“See you then.” Bailey and Kris say, together jumping around and smiling as they hang up the phone.
“Oh my god!” Bailey exclaims, happily.
“I hope this means good news.” Kris says, jumping up and down.
“I’m pretty sure it does Kris.” Bailey says, jumping up and down with Kris.
“I can’t fucking wait.” Kris says, excitedly.
Bailey, Kris, and Mayra decide to go to sleep considering Bailey and Kris have an early start to meet with Shannon at Olive Garden. The next morning Kris and Bailey wake up around 10 am to get ready for their interviews.
“Bailey are you up?” Kris says, knocking on Bailey’s bedroom door.
“Yea I’m up.” Bailey says, answering the door.
“Ok cool just wondering and making sure you weren’t still sleeping.” Kris says, as she walks across the hall back to her room.
“I’m going to go get ready.” Bailey says, picking out an outfit from her closet.
“Same here.” Kris says, as she does the same as Bailey.
Bailey and Kris hop in the shower, get all squeaky clean Bailey does her make up with just gold across the eyelid with a little black half circle in the crease and a black eyeliner wing. Kris does gold all over her lid with a dark brown/ black above the gold with a paler gold and a cream colored eye shadow in the crease.

Kris’s interview outfit consists of a black and white polka dot dress, a pair of earrings, a ring with a black stone and gold ring, a black bow necklace on a gold chain and a pair of black heels.
Bailey and Kris put the finishing touches on their outfits as they both open their bedroom doors both at the exact same time.
“Oh Bailey that outfit is so pretty.” Kris says, smiling at Bailey.
“Thanks Kris. Your outfit is so pretty.” Bailey says, smiling as she fixes any last minute details with her Jennifer Lopez Live Luxe perfume and deodorant, as Kris does the same.
“I hope we get the job.” Kris says, excitedly.
“I hope we do too.” Bailey says, as she walks down the stairs to the living room.
“What time is it now?” Kris says, as she follows Bailey down the stairs and to the living room.
“It is now 11 o clock.” Bailey says, as she checks her phone.
“We should probably leave around 11:30?” Kris says, as she grabs a Monster energy for both her and Bailey from the fridge
“Most likely. Should I drive to Olive Garden?” Bailey says, looking at Kris.
“Sure.” Kris says, nodding opening the can of Monster.
“Alright I will drive. Later I think we should go and look for Huntington Beach High School.” Bailey says, opening her can of Monster.
30 minutes comes too quickly as Bailey sends a text to Mayra saying they are leaving for their interview and will be back when it’s done. Bailey and Kris head out to Bailey’s car locking the house on the way out as Bailey gets in her car and start it to head to the Olive Garden that is about 15 minutes away, Bailey and Kris sit there in silence for most of the way there just thinking of what questions Shannon and Stephie might have for them.
“Here it is.” Kris shouts out, as she points the entrance to the parking lot of Olive Garden.
“Thank you Kris.” Bailey says, as she pulls into the parking lot and finishes any late minute touches.
Bailey and Kris get out of the car and head into Olive Garden, once inside they sit on the benches near the hostesses stand. Bailey and Kris stand once they see Shannon and another person walking in with her.
“Hello Kristan and Bailey.” Shannon says, as she walks up with Stephie to the hostesses stand while Kris and Bailey follow behind.
“Hello how many?” The hostess asks picking out menus.
“Four please.” Shannon says, looking at Stephie, Kris, and Bailey.
“Right this way please.” The hostess says, leading them to a table with four seats.
“Your waiter will be with you shortly.” The hostess says, setting down the menus and walks away.
“Thank you.” Shannon says, as the hostess walks away.
“So this is Stephie, my co manager.” Shannon says, pointing to Stephie.
“Hello. Nice to meet you guys.” Stephie says, smiling while she shakes Kris and Bailey’s hands.
“Hello. Nice to meet you too.” Kris and Bailey say, together towards Stephie.
“Well we loved your resumes and we were impressed.” Shannon says, looking at Stephie.
“There were a lot of good details on both of them.” Stephie says, looking back at Shannon.
“We wanted to meet up with you to basically get to know you guys better.” Shannon says, smiling at Kris and Bailey.
“What interests you to work at Hottopic?” Stephie says, looking at Kris.
“Well I love music, I buy all my band merchandise from there and it’s where I’ve always wanted to work.” Kris says, looking back at Stephie.
“How about you?” Stephie says, looking at Bailey.
“My answer is pretty much like Kris’s, but I’ve always seen my self working in a store such as Hottopic.” Bailey says, looking back at Stephie.
“Alright awesome. Good answers.” Stephie says, smiling and looking at Shannon.

The waiter scribbles the lemonade on his notepad.
“And for you?” Aaron says, looking at Kris.

The waiter writes the rest of the orders down and walks away.
“Kris and Bailey?” Shannon says, looking at Bailey and Kris smiling.

“You’re so welcome.” Stephie says, smiling.

“We are happy to have you on the team.” Shannon says, getting up and walking towards the front.
“We are glad to be apart of it.” Bailey says, smiling grabbing a mint along the way.
“We will give you a call or email you with your official schedule when you start officially, you may not receive it till late this week or next week.” Shannon says holding the door open for us, Shannon and Stephie offers Bailey and Kris a hand shake once they reach the parking lot.

Kris and Bailey get to the condo and unlock the front door to find Mayra awake and sitting on the couch watching the My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic.
“Hey Bailey, and Kris. How did your interview go?” Mayra says, questioning the looks on Kris and Bailey’s faces.
“Well… We got the job, both of us did.” Bailey says, looking at Mayra with a smile as wide from ear to ear.
“You did!?” Mayra says, getting up and hugging both Kris and Bailey.
“I knew you guys would get the job.” Mayra says, excitedly.
“It’s an awesome feeling.” Bailey says, smiling.
“We should go find Huntington Beach high school before tomorrow morning.” Bailey says, gesturing towards the door.
“Should I go change?” Mayra says, looking down at her pajamas.
“Nah you really don’t have to. We’re not going to get out of the car.” Bailey says, taking off her cardigan and putting it on the coat rack by the door.
“Alright then I guess we should go. Are you going to change?” Mayra says, looking at their clothes.

“Gorgeous.” Mayra says, while putting on her converse
“Let’s go.” Bailey says, while opening the door and going to her car.
“Come on.” Bailey says, gesturing to her car.
“We’re coming Bails.” Kris says, as they walk to Bailey’s car.
Kris, Mayra, and Bailey all get into Bailey’s car, Bailey starts the car backing out of the drive way and finds their way to Huntington Beach High School so they can get to school early tomorrow AM.
“Are you hungry May May?” Bailey says, while driving.
“Yea I am.” Mayra says, pointing out a McDonalds.
“Ok we’ll go through the drive thru.” Bailey says, pulling into the drive thru.
“What would you like May May?” Bailey says, while pulling up to the speaker box.
“Chicken Selects, please.” Mayra says, handing me a 5 dollar bill.
“Hello what can I get for you this afternoon?” The voice over the speaker says.
“The 3 chicken selects meal with water.” Bailey says, as she takes the 5 dollar bill from Mayra.
“Your total comes to $4.50. Please pull around.” The voice over the speaker says.
Bailey pulls up to the 1st window and hands the person the $5 bill, Bailey gets 50 cents in change and she pulls up to the second window and receives the food and hands it off to Mayra.
Mayra chows down on her food as Bailey drives back to the condo. Upon getting back to the condo Bailey, Kris and Mayra all get out of Bailey’s car and unlocks the condo door seeing Lily lying in her cat bed that Bailey brought with her from Wisconsin. Bailey puts her iPod on the docking system and plays some music for background noise. Kris, Bailey, and Mayra sit on the floor grabbing their schedules and the school supplies that are in the Walmart bags and they start unpacking the notebooks, paper, pencils, pens, and binders and they start labeling all of the stuff as their own stuff and they pack it away in their backpacks. When all the labeling and organizing is done Bailey and Kris go and change into their pajamas so they are all ready for bed when it comes time to going to sleep, they come back down joining Mayra on the couch as the door bell rings its Bailey’s dad delivery Chinese food for the girls for dinner and he leaves heading back to the hotel.
After Bailey’s dad leaves the girls to eating their dinner, Bailey pops in Nightmare Before Christmas which is Bailey’s favorite movie, after the movie Bailey, Mayra, and Kris put away the leftovers and head up to their rooms to brush their teeth and do what they need and go to sleep cause the next day is the first day of school at a new school.
“How about we get something for dinner?” Bailey says, to Kristan and Mayra while dusting off her ass from all the sand.
“Sure, dinner sounds great I’m getting hungry.” Mayra says, getting up and dusting off her ass from the all the sand as Kristan gets up and does the same.
“Where would you want to go for dinner?” Kris says, as she finishes dusting off her skirt and grabbing her purse.
“Not sure what are you guys in the mood for?” Bailey says, asking taking her keys off from around her neck and holding them.
“How about we drop off our belongings back at home and then we head to dinner? Sound good?” Bailey says, to Kris and May May.
“Sounds good to me” Kris and May May say together.
“Alright let’s go.” Bailey says, walking down the pier, with Mayra and Kris following on either side of her.
Mayra, Kris, and Bailey all head to Bailey’s car as Bailey unlocks her car they all pile in and heads to the condo to drop off their stuff. Upon getting back to the condo and getting inside, Bailey picks up her cat Lily and pets her after that Bailey sets down Lily as she’s free to wonder around.
“Are we ready to go?” Bailey says, placing her bags on the kitchen counter.
“Yes, we are.” Mayra says, nodding at Kristan and Bailey.
“Alright then let’s go.” Bailey says, smiling.
Bailey receives a text from her other bestie Brittney saying.
“Where are you? Could we meet up and Kellin coming with, I hope that’s ok.” Britt says, in a text.
Bailey gets in her car and starts/ revs it up.
“Can you respond to her, Mayra?” Bailey says, handing her phone over to Mayra that is sitting in the front seat.
“Yea sure what do you want me to say?” Mayra says, holding Bailey’s phone ready to text back.
Bailey searches restaurants nearest the condo, and Subway turns up on Atlanta Avenue.
“Ooh Subway.” Bailey says, excitedly.
“Subway good with everyone?” Bailey says, anxiously.
“I’ve never had Subway.” Mayra says, nervously.
“I love it. I’m down with Subway.” Kris says, staring at Mayra with a wide eyed expression.
“Whaaaaat? You’ve never had Subway?” Bailey and Kris say looking shocked at Mayra.
“Nope, I haven’t.” Mayra says, adjusting closer to the window.
“Ok we’re going to Subway then.” Bailey says proudly.
“I’m not going to hit you May May.” Bailey says, in a loving tone.
“Say: We are heading to get dinner. Want to meet us at Subway on Atlanta Avenue. Join us?” Bailey says pointing at her phone while backing out of the drive way.
Mayra types out the message on Bailey’s phone and hits send.
“Ok annnd… Sent” Mayra says, smiling.
“Cool thanks May May.” Bailey says, extending her hand out for her phone as Mayra hands it back.
As soon as Mayra sends a response, Brittney sends one right back.
“Cool we will meet you there in about 10 minutes.” Brittney says, in her text.
“Sweet.” Bailey says, responding back quickly while driving.
Once Bailey, Mayra, and Kris reach Subway on Atlanta Avenue, A girl with long black layered hair with a swoop bang, wearing a white Hello Kitty tank and a white Hello Kitty hoodie with black skinnies and black TOM’s stands there named Brittney and her boyfriend Kellin. Bailey, Kris, and May May get out of the vehicle and run towards Brittney who is standing by the passenger side door of Kellin’s car.
“Britti!!!!” Bailey and Mayra say running at Brittney with their arms open.
“Bailey, and Mayra!” Brittney says, with her arms open smiling.
“We missed you!” Mayra and Bailey exclaim hugging Britt tight.
“Missed you too!” Brittney says, hugging them back.
“We would like you to meet Kristan, she just moved in with us in our condo we would love for you to come check it out after dinner.” Bailey says, smiling.
“We’d love to Bailey, we could follow you guys back, Nice to meet you Kristan.” Britt says, smiling as Kellin puts his arm around Brittney’s waist.
“I Love You.” Kellin says, to Brittney.
“I Love You too babe.” Brittney says, back to Kellin.
“Awwws” Bailey and Mayra say together.
“Nice to meet you too, Brittney.” Kris says, directing her comment towards Britt.
“Well shall we get food?” Bailey says, directing people to the door.
“Yum food.” Kris says, walking next to Bailey as they all go into Subway.
“Say we could order and bring it back to the condo.” Bailey says, tapping her head.
“Good idea.” Brittney says, nodding at Bailey.
“That’s a very good idea, Bails.” Kris says, agreeing with Brittney.
“Then let’s go order some food.” Bailey says, at Mayra and Kris.
Brittney, Kellin, Kristan, Mayra and Bailey all file in line to order their favorite subs to go. As Brittney and Kellin order and pay for their subs they stand there patiently for Bailey, Kris and Mayra to order and pay, when the 3 of them are done ordering and paying they head exit Subway and get into their vehicles and head back to the condo.
Once they get back to the condo everyone gets out of the car following behind bailey because she has the key to the place and she locks her car stepping inside setting her sub on the couch and her drink on the table in front of the couch.
“Wow Bails this is a nice condo did you find it?” Kellin says, smiling at me.
“Yes I sure did find this condo it was probably the least expensive one that I was looking at between the 3 I found.” Bailey says, to Kellin.
“Well everyone relax.” Mayra says, sitting next to Bailey.
“Please do.” Kris says, sitting down next to Bailey.
“How was school today, Britt?” Bailey says while taking a bite of her sub.
“It was good, music class was fun Kellin was writing some lyrics with his mates and I was strumming on a guitar, as usual.” Britt says, smiling
“I’m in music class too, I think I’m in 4th period music.” Bailey says, smiling.
“That’s what hour music is for me.” Britt says, smiling back at Bailey.
“We all have the same music class period, this will be awesome.” Mayra says, smiling as she takes a bite of her sub.
“Badass!” Kris says, while eating her sub.
“I think you guys will love music class, there are some really awesome guys and girls in there. Britt says, smiling and eating her sub.
Brittney, Mayra, Bailey, Kris, and Kellin all finish eating their sub sandwiches and throwing their trash away into the trash in the kitchen, as Bailey grabs her bags from the kitchen counter.
“Can I see your rooms?” Britt says, to the three girls.
“Sure can.” Bailey says, directing her up the stairs.
“Sweet, what’s in the bag?” Britt says, in a curious tone.
“Well in the Spencers bag there are two posters, they are both Jack Sparrow posters one for me and one for Mayra.” Bailey says, as Brittney, Mayra, Kristan follow.
“In the Hottopic bag is a spike brass knuckles necklace, some Rainbow Dash plugs and some cleaning solution for my lip piercings, nose, tongue, and belly button.” Bailey says, smiling.
“Wow. I just got my belly button done.” Britt says, smiling.
“Niiice.” Bailey says, smiling back.
“When did u get it done.?” Bailey says, to Britt as the walk up the stairs.
“I got it about 2 months ago, Kellin was there.” Brittney says, winking at me.
“Awww, that’s adorable.” Bailey says, smiling.
“When do you guys start at Huntington Beach High School.” Britt says, as she reaches the top floor of the house.
“We’re starting next Tuesday.” Bailey says reaching the top floor of the condo.
“Oh cool I can’t wait to be in class with you guys.” Britt says, excitedly and smiling.
“Me neither this will be so much fun.” Bailey says, smiling.
“I agree.” Brittney says, as she walked into Bailey’s room.
“I know my room is a little bland, but what can you expect I just moved in.” Bailey says, in a worried tone.
“No worries, your walls will be covered in little time at all.” Britt says, in a happy tone.
“They sure will with hot band dudes.” Bailey says, smiling.
“So what is our music teacher like?” Bailey says, in a questioning tone.
“Just wait and find out.” Britt says, winking.
“Oh jeez.” Bailey says, in a nervous tone.
“Don’t be worried. He’s an amazing dude.” Britt says, smiling.
“I have to remember to bring my guitar to school.” Bailey says, smiling.
“Don’t forget it.” Mayra says, in a happy tone.
“Thaaaanks.” Bailey says, in a semi sarcastic tone.
“You’re welcome.” Mayra says, sticking out her tongue at Bailey as she does the same back.
“Sooo this is my room.” Bailey says, in an inviting tone.
“It’s big.” Brittney says.
“Yes it is, but I’m ok with that fact.” Bailey says, reassuring Brittney.
“That’s good.” Britt says, smiling.
“Let’s go see the others.” Britt says, walking out of Bailey’s room and into Kris’s room.
“Welcome to my room.” Kris says, as Britt walks in the room.
“That woman is pretty, is that your mom?” Britt says, as she looks at the framed picture on Kris’s bedside table.
“Yup.” Kris says, nodding her head at Britt’s comment.
“She died about two years ago of cancer.” Kris says, as she looks down at the picture.
“Awww, I’m so sorry to hear that Kristan.” Brittney says.
“Thanks. I’m ok just some rough patches here and there.” Kris says, as she holds a necklace that has an angel charm on it and places it over the framed picture so it lies on the bed side table.
“I totally understand. I’ve been there with Bails, because her grandpa passed away too, she was devastated. I could only comfort her with words because I didn’t live near her at the time.” Britt says, looking into Bailey’s room.
“I’m totally happy that she’s closer now.” Britt says, as she smiles.
“That’s good.” Kris says, smiling.
“I’ll talk to you in a bit.” Britt says, while hugging Kris.
“Ok with me.” Kris says, hugging Britt back.
“Good.” Britt says, while walking out of Kris’s room and into Mayra’s.
“Hello.” Mayra says, excitedly as Britt walks in Mayra’s room.
“Hello there, Mayra.” Brittney says, smiling.
“I love this house, well condo.” Mayra says, excitedly.
“I can tell, I’m glad you and Bailey are closer.” Britt says, in a happy tone.
“You can keep me company, when Kellin is hanging with his mates.” Britt says, in her British accent
“Yes I can.” Mayra says, happily.
“Awesome.” Britt says.
“I’m glad that Bailey asked me to move in the condo with her.” Mayra says.
“I’m finally able to get away from Diana, fucking brat.” Mayra says, semi angrily.
Brittney, Bailey, Mayra, and Kris head back downstairs, where Brittney is greeted by her very tired boyfriend, Kellin.
“Hey babe, can we go I’m starting to fall asleep down here on their very comfy couch besides we have school in the morning.” Kellin says, yawning and grabbing his jacket and car keys.
“Oh sure babe, we don’t need you falling asleep on the road.” Brittney says, kissing Kellin’s cheek.
“We will talk to you guys later, Britt you should drive since you seem to be more awake.” Bailey says, hugging Britt.
“Talk to you on facebook?” Bailey and Mayra say, in a questioning tone towards Britt.
“Yep probably for a good hour before I fall asleep.” Brittney says, hugging Bailey, Mayra and including Kris in the group hug.
“Love you guys.” Bailey says, walking them to the door.
“Drive safe.” Mayra says, after Bailey.
“We will.” Kellin says, as he walks towards his car.
Bailey, Mayra, and Kris wave to Brittney and Kellin as they leave from in front of the condo and drive home. Leaving Bailey to receive a text from her father, asking if they want to join him.
“Do you want to join me I want to get me a California beer before I head back to Wisconsin.” Bailey’s dad says, in a text.
“Let me ask Kris and Mayra if they want to join.” Bailey says, responding to the text.
“So I just got a text from my dad asking if we wanted to go to the bar with him so he can get a California beer before he heads back to Wisconsin.” Bailey says, in a nervous tone.
“Sure, I’ll just have soda or water.” Mayra says.
“I’ll go too. I need to socialize a little bit.” Kris says, chuckling at her comment.
“Sweet, should I drive?” Bailey says, in a questioning tone.
“Ask your dad.” Mayra says, before Bailey grabs her car keys.
“True I should probably do that.” Bailey says, texting her dad back.
“Should we take separate cars?” Bailey says, in a text to her dad.
“We could drive together if you want.” Bailey’s dad says, as sends a response back almost as quickly as Bailey sent one out.
“We can take two cars that way, if you have more then two beers then I’m driving you back to the hotel, and Kris will have to follow.” Bailey says in her text to her dad.
“Ok sounds good. Which bar are we going to?” Bailey’s dad says.
“Well I was doing a little bit of research and I’ve heard that Johnny’s bar is supposed to good.” Bailey says, in a text.
“Alright that sounds good. I’ll meet you guys there?” Bailey’s dad says.
“Yep the address is 17428 Beach Boulevard, obviously in Huntington Beach” Bailey says.
“Well then let’s go.” Bailey says, she grabs her car and house key off the kitchen counter while Kris and Mayra are waiting by the front door.
“We’re waiting for you Bails.” Kris says, getting semi impatient.
“I’m coming.” Bailey says, as she walks up by Kris and Mayra and they open the door and proceed out to Bailey’s black Chevy Impala.
When Bailey, Mayra, and Kris reach the car Bailey unlocks it quickly, starting her car and putting in the address for Johnny’s Bar on her GPS and Bailey proceeds to back out of the driveway and pulls onto Beach Boulevard, once reaching the area where Johnny’s Bar is located Bailey pulls into the parking lot right in front of the bar.
“We’re here.” Bailey says, excitedly and getting out of the car, as a silver Grand Marquis pulls into the parking spot next to Bailey’s Chevy Impala, Kris and May May get out following Bailey to the door entering the bar.
“Hello dad.” Bailey says, as her dad walks up, grabs and holds the door open for us.
“Hello girls.” Bailey’s dad says, as he follows us inside.
“It’s nice in here.” Bailey says, as she admires the rock and roll type atmosphere.
“Totally.” Mayra says, immediately commenting afterwards.
“I love it, it looks like a really awesome hang out place.” Kris says, hinting to us.
Bailey, Kris, Mayra and Bailey’s dad walk up to the bar and sits on the bar stool waiting for the bartender to come over and take their order on what they want to drink, as a bartender walks over, so does a 5’ 3” strawberry blonde girl wearing a black Evanescence shirt and grey “destroyed” skinny jeans with her black high top Converse.
“Hello, and welcome to Johnny’s bar I’m Michelle. Would you like to see a menu?” Michelle says, in her heavy Australian accent.
“Yes please.” Bailey’s dad says, looking at Michelle.
“Alright just one second.” Michelle says ,as she disappears off to get a menu.
“Hello I’m Jack. What would you like to drink?” Jack says, as he looks at Bailey.
“I’ll just have a Mountain Dew, please.” Bailey says, looking at Jack.
“And for you?” Jack says, looking at Kris and Mayra.
“I’ll have a Mountain Dew as well.” Mayra says, to the bartender.
“I’ll take a Pepsi, please.” Kris says, looking at the bartender.
“Here is your menu sir.” Michelle says, skipping over with the menu in her hand.
“Hey you guys look new here. Are you?” Michelle says, as she proceeds over next to Bailey, Kris, Mayra.
“Yeah we are new here, I just moved here from Wisconsin.” Bailey says, turning and looking at Michelle.
“Oh cool.” Michelle says, standing there waiting for Bailey’s dad to be done looking at the menu.
“I moved here from Las Vegas.” Mayra says, turning and taking a sip of her soda.
“I moved from Glendora to Huntington Beach, because Bailey asked and I just couldn’t decline.” Kris says, happily.
“I’m ready to order.” Bailey’s dad says, as he waves Michelle over to take his order.
“Sure what can I get you.” Michelle says, with her heavy Australian accent.
“I would like a cheese burger and French fries, and an extra order of fries for the girls.” Bailey’s dad says, pointing to the three girls.
“Thanks dad.” Bailey says, looking back at Kris and Mayra.
“You’re welcome.” Bailey’s dad says, as he kissed Bailey’s forehead.
“God, dad you’re such an embarrassment.” Bailey says, as she chuckles.
“You’re funny.” Bailey’s dad says, chuckling and ordering his beer.
“I’ll take a AleSmith IPA, please.” Bailey’s dad says, looking at Jack.
“Coming right up.” Jack says, as he gets a glass and taps the keg while tilting the glass and then straightening it up.
“Here you go, the total is $12.” Jack says, as he hands Bailey’s dad the beer.
Bailey’s dad paid with a twenty for all four of the drinks and receives $8 back for his change; suddenly Michelle was sitting next to the girls on Kris’s right after dropping off the order to the cooks in the kitchen.
“Hello.” Michelle says, not wanting to startle the three.
“Hello there, Michelle.” Bailey says, looking down the row of barstools at Michelle.
“How old are you guys?” Michelle says, in a curious tone.
“We’re 17.” Bailey, Kris, Mayra say, together looking at Michelle.
“What about you?” Bailey, Kris and Mayra say, towards Michelle.
“I’m 17 also.” Michelle says, looking at Bailey, Mayra, and Kris.
“Sweet, I’m Kris btw.” Kris says, smiling and offering her hand to Michelle.
“I’m Bailey.” Bailey says, smiling and offering out her hand to Michelle.
“I’m Mayra.” Mayra says, smiling and turning to Michelle.
Michelle hears a ding from the kitchenette area of the bar and gets up from the bar stool and proceeds to the counter to get the food that Bailey’s dad ordered, she proceeds to the bar where he is sitting and gives him his food.
“Here’s your cheeseburger with fries.” Michelle says, setting down the plate with silverware in front of Bailey’s dad with a smile.
“Here is the side order of fries.” Michelle says, setting them down in the middle between Bailey, Kris, and Mayra with a smile.
“Thanks.” Mayra says, smiling.
“Do you have any smaller plates?” Bailey says, putting her hands in half circles over the bar.
“Yeah one second.” Michelle says, as she heads to the kitchen and gets 3 plates and she brings them back to the girls.
“Here you go.” Michelle says happily as she sets down the plates in front of each girl.
“So where do you go to high school?” Bailey says, looking at Michelle as sits down next to Kris.
“I go to Huntington Beach high.” Michelle says, happily.
“My boyfriend goes there too.” Michelle chimes in with a smile.
“Really what’s his name?” Kris says, looking at Michelle.
“Danny. Danny Worsnop.” Michelle says, gleaming.
“Awesome how old is he?” Bailey says, in a questioning tone.
“He’s 17 like me and, you guys.” Michelle says, smiling.
“Sweet can we meet him sometime?” Bailey says, smiling.
“Of course, when do you start school at Huntington Beach?” Michelle says, in a curious tone.
“We start next Tuesday.” Bailey says, talking for Kris, Mayra and of course herself.
“Oh awesome what is your schedule like.” Michelle says, as the curiosity gets the best of her.
“Well I’m not sure exactly yet.” Bailey says, with an uneasy tone.
“We have yet to get our schedules in the mail.” Kris says, pointing at Bailey and Mayra.
“They will probably come tomorrow. Considering you guys just moved and probably applied when you were still Wisconsin, Vegas.” Michelle says, in a positive mood.
“Hopefully they arrive tomorrow.” Bailey says with hope in her voice.
“If they don’t, give the school a call.” Bailey’s dad says, while ordering another AleSmith IPA.
“Dad I’m driving you back to the hotel.” Bailey says, while looking at her dad.
“No need to put people in danger.” Bailey’s dad says, while he clinks his beer glass with Bailey’s glass.
“No we don’t and we don’t need you to get arrested in California.” Bailey says, pushing her dad’s beer glass away.
Bailey takes her dad’s car keys off the bar and puts them in the pocket of her My Little Pony Rainbow Dash hoodie.
“Let me know when you’re ready to go.” Bailey says, to her dad.
“Ok I will.” Bailey’s dad says looking at the TV screen while finishing up the rest of his fries.
“I get off soon at 9, and I was wondering if I could possibly get a ride back to my house my dad works 3rd shift.” Michelle says, in a pleading type tone.
“Of course we can all you have to do is direct us to where you live.” Bailey says, smiling.
“Awesome thanks.” Michelle says, smiling and offering $5 for gas.
“Keep it Michelle.” Bailey says, putting her hand up.
“Are you sure?” Michelle says, in a questioning type tone.
“Yes, I’m sure. I already consider you a friend.” Bailey says.
“You’re a nice person. So aka I’ll friend you.” Bailey says, smiling.
“Aww, you’re too kind.” Michelle says, smiling at me.
“Thanks.” Bailey says, smiling.
“No problem.” Michelle says, looking at me.
“Have you applied anywhere to work.” Michelle says, sipping on some water.
“We just applied at Hottopic.” Kris and Bailey say, in unison.
“Sweet, and you.” Michelle says, looking at Mayra.
“I kind of just want to babysit in the area.” Mayra says, looking at Michelle.
“There seems to be a lot of kids by our condo.” Mayra says, with a smile.
“Oh awesome.” Michelle says, looking at Mayra.
“I love Huntington Beach already.” Bailey says, smiling.
“That’s good.” Michelle says, looking at her cell phone and smiling.
“My shift is over.” Michelle says, taking off her work apron and shoving it in her backpack.
“Awesome. Is there someone that’s supposed to come in after your shift?” Bailey says, looking at the door.
“Yea her name is Kelly.” Michelle says, looking at her phone.
Michelle proceeds to text Kelly asking her where she is because she is late for work.
“Kelly where are you, your late my shift is over.” Michelle replies, in a text.
“I’m on my way now.” Kelly says, in her text.
“My dad is almost done with his beer so we have about 10- 15 minutes left.” Bailey says, looking at his almost empty beer glass.
“I’- I’m almost done.” Bailey’s dad says, while slurring his words.
“We know dad.” Bailey says.
“Who knew he could get tipsy off two beers.” Mayra says.
“It’s an IPA, IPA usually has more alcohol then normal beer.” Bailey says, to Mayra.
“Where’s Kelly?” Jack says, looking at Michelle.
“She just texted me telling me she’s on her way.” Michelle says, back to Jack.
“Ugh. She’s late. Again?” Jack says, in a snappy tone while looking at his watch.
“What gives her the right to be late to work?” Michelle says, in a curious tone.
“She doesn’t have a right to be.” Jack says.
“Is Jack working tonight?” Kelly says, over a text.
“Yes he is working, he’s been here since the start of my shift.” Michelle says, replying to the text.
“Shit this isn’t good. What time was the start of your shift?” Kelly says, sending a text back to Michelle.
“3, this afternoon. I was here on time.” Michelle responds, getting minorly upset with Kelly.
“It’s ok Shells.” Jack says, taking Bailey’s dads empty basket that the fries were in and the dirty plates back to the kitchen.
“Thanks Jack.” Michelle says, calling back as he walks to the kitchen.
“I owe you one Michelle, thanks for waiting.” Kelly says, in a text.
“Yeah whatever.” Michelle says, putting an emoticon after her message.
Jack walks back and behind the bar he goes.
“You can leave Shells; I don’t want to keep you any longer.” Jack says.
“Uhh.” Michelle manages, to get out as she puts her phone in her pocket.
“You alright there Michelle?” Bailey says, in a concerned tone.
“Yeah, Kelly is just annoying as fuck.” Michelle says, putting a set of keys around her neck.
“I had a friend like that back in Wisconsin; well I don’t exactly call her a friend anymore.” Bailey says, looking at the flat screen panel TV.
“Kelly is 18 and she got held back at school, she goes to Huntington Beach high.” Michelle says, putting her hands on her head.
“She’s a fucking idiot.” Jack says, looking at the four girls.
“She’s never on time, anywhere she goes.” Michelle says, while staring down at the bar.
“I can tell.” Bailey says, chuckling.
“Is she one of those preppy chicks?” Bailey says, in a curious tone.
Michelle and Jack both look at me with a wide eyed expression, as Bailey looks up from her phone.
“I take that as a yes?” Bailey says, in a confused tone.
“You’re corr-” Jack says, getting cut off as the door opens to the bar and it’s Kelly.
“You’re late again, Kelly.” Jack says, in an unenthused tone.
“I know I’m sorry I was busy babysitting my neighbor’s kid, the kid’s parents just got home.” Kelly says, in a sad tone.
“Get to work. I’m not taking anymore of your sob stories anymore.” Jack says, pointing at the back room where a group of guys were having a bachelor party.
“Why do I have to clean that room.” Kelly says, in a whiny tone.
“You signed up for the fucking job. Get to work.” Jack says, raising his voice.
Kelly scurries off to the kitchen a grabs cleaning supplies and rushes to the back room where the bachelor party was and starts cleaning the mess.
“You get the day off tomorrow, Michelle.” Jack says, looking at Michelle.
“Thanks, Jack.” Michelle says, happily.
“You’ve worked hard this week.” Jack says, in his softy tone voice.
“Why don’t I get off tomorrow, Jack?” Kelly says, in a whiny tone.
“Because you’re always coming into work late.” Jack says, raising his voice and getting angrier at Kelly.
“Damn it, she’s so fucking stupid” Jack says, shaking his head.
“I feel bad for you Jack.” Bailey says, looking at him.
“Thanks, but I’m the one responsible, I’m the one that hired her.” Jack says, putting his hands on his head trying to rub his headache away.
“Here.” Bailey says, taking two Tylenol out of a Ziploc bag and handing them to Jack.
“Thanks.” Jack says, taking them from Bailey, and popping them in his mouth and taking a sip of his Mountain Dew he has behind the counter.
“No problem.” Bailey says, sipping her Mountain Dew.
Bailey’s dad takes the last sip of his beer and sets down the glass.
“Ahhhh. That was great.” Bailey’s dad says, while paying Jack for his food.
Bailey’s dad leaves a $10 tip for Michelle.
“Michelle, take it.” Jack says, handing Michelle the tip.
“Are we ready?” Bailey says, while walking towards the door with her dad.
“I’m driving you back to the hotel dad. I’ve got you keys.” Bailey says.
“Talk to you later Jack.” Michelle says, hopping off the barstool.
Mayra and Kris hop of the barstools as they push the glasses closer together for Jack to grab.
“Thanks girls.” Jack says, nodding at Mayra and Kris as they walk closer towards Michelle, Bailey and Bailey’s dad.
“We will see you real soon.” Bailey says, looking back at Jack.
Jack nods at the acknowledgement as Bailey pushes the door open leading her dad and the rest outside towards the car as Bailey unlocks both the cars.
“Kris would you be as so kind to drive my car please?” Bailey says, opening the door for her dad to get in the passenger seat.
“No problem.” Kris says, as Bailey hands the keys to Kris.
“You’re going to follow me back to the hotel right Kris?” Bailey says, heading over to the driver side door.
“Yep that’s the plan.” Kris says, jingling Bailey’s car keys.
“Alright my dad printed off directions for me so, follow me?” Bailey says, getting in the silver Grand Marquis.
“You can get in the back seat of this car Michelle.” Kris says, pointing to the back.
“Alright cool. I didn’t know which car to get into.” Michelle says, opening the door and getting in.
“You could have gotten into either one, actually.” Kris says, starting the car and backing out of the parking spot as Bailey does the same.
Bailey and Kris pull on to the road driving towards the hotel where Bailey’s parents are staying while their time in Huntington Beach.
“We’re here dad.” Bailey says, parking the car in an empty parking spot and walking with her dad to the elevator in the lobby of the hotel and proceeds to the elevator helping him in and pressing the floor he’s on.
Bailey proceeds to call her mother to meet her dad at the elevator.
“Hello.” Bailey’s mom says, answering the phone.
“Mom, dad is coming up in the elevator make sure you meet him there he had two IPA’s and is a little tipsy, I want to make sure he gets to the room ok.” Bailey says, walking out of the double glass sliding doors back to the parking lot.
“I can do that. Thanks Bailey.” Bailey’s mom says, in a pleasant tone.
“I drove him back to the hotel and I put his car keys in his pocket so he has them.” Bailey says, while walking up to her car.
“Alright mom well I have to take someone home from work, I’ll talk to in the morning.” Bailey says, getting in her car.
“Ok sweetie, talk to later. Call me when you guys get back to the condo.” Bailey’s mom says, upon reaching the elevator.
“Goodnight mom.” Bailey says, while hanging up the phone.
“So Michelle, where do you live?” Bailey says, turning and looking at Michelle.
“I live off of Sunset. Not in the circle itself but at the beginning of the block.” Michelle says, looking up from her phone.
“Oh ok I know exactly where I’m going then.” Bailey says, smiling and starting up the car.
“You do?” Michelle says, in a happy tone.
“Yep, we live on that street.” Bailey says, smiling.
“Awesome.” Michelle says, smiling.
“We’re neighbors!” Michelle says, excitedly.
“Totally sweet.” Bailey says.
“If you need a ride home from school sometimes we can do that for you.” Bailey says, looking at Michelle in the rearview mirror.
“Awesome.” Michelle says, while writing down her number on a piece of paper from her backpack and handing it to me.
“Text me or call me, if you need me.” Michelle says.
Bailey slows down upon reaches the street that their condo is on.
“This is it!” Michelle says, pointing to her house.
“Cool.” Bailey says, pulling into Michelle’s drive-way.
“Thanks so much Bailey.” Michelle says, with a smile.
“No problem at all. I’m happy to help.” Bailey says, smiling and waiting for Michelle to get in her house safetly.
Once Michelle gets into her house safely, Bailey pulls out of the drive way and down the street the condo is on and she pulls into the drive way and everyone gets out, Bailey proceeds to lock the car and goes and unlocks the house and Bailey, Mayra, and Kris all run in.
“I think I’m going to change into my pajamas and go on facebook, twitter, and tumblr to check to see what’s up.” Bailey says, putting her keys on the key rack and walking up the stairs.
“I’m going to do the same.” Kris says, following Bailey up the stairs.
“Down time sounds great right now.” Mayra says, agreeing with Bailey as she turns off the lights to the living room and walking up behind Kris and Bailey.
Kris, Mayra, and Bailey all get changed into their pajamas check onto facebook, twitter, tumblr. They post all the crazy and awesome stuff they did/ bought over the day and eventually the girls all fall asleep.
The next morning Bailey wakes up to her dad calling again.
“Hi dad.” Bailey says, yawning and groaning.
“Hello kiddo.” Bailey’s dad says happily.
“Would you guys want to go to breakfast?” Bailey’s dad says, into the phone.
“Dad I just got up. Could we possibly get a late lunch or something? We girls need to get school supplies. School starts next Tuesday for us. Besides I need to get my hair cut, it’s getting a bit shaggy looking.” Bailey says, as she gets up from bed and walks downstairs with her laptop.
“Alright we could do that if you want unless you just want to spend time with your friends.” Bailey’s dad says.
“I kind of would just like to spend the day with my friends dad. We need to get a feel for the neighborhood and the surroundings.” Bailey says, sighing.
“Ok then call me later, love ya kid” Bailey’s dad says, semi happily.
“Love ya too dad.” Bailey says, hanging up the phone.
Kris walks down the stairs to meet Bailey as she flips on the TV and turns on My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic.
“Good morning, Bails.” Kris says, happily as she sits down next to Bailey.
“Good morning, Kris.” Bailey says, rubbing her eyes.
“Are you ok?” Kris says, in a concerned tone.
“Yeah, I’m tired. My dad decided to wake me up with a phone call again.” Bailey says, in a growly tone.
“Awww I’m sorry Bails.” Kris says, rubbing Bailey’s back.
“He asked if we wanted to go to breakfast again.” Bailey says, looking at Kris.
“What did you tell him?” Kris says, looking at Bailey.
“I told him maybe a late lunch and that we all have to get school supplies.” Bailey says, logging on her laptop.
“Oh ok. I have to get my hair cut for school and school supplies.” Kris says, while yawning.
“As do I. To both.” Bailey says, playing with her hair.
“Hey we should get McDonalds and Starbucks for all three of us? Kris says, looking at me with a smile.
“Sounds good to me. I’m pretty sure Mayra will be ok for a little bit while were gone.” Bailey says getting up and putting her laptop on the table next to the couch and sends a text to Mayra saying.
“Mayra we (me and kris) are heading to Starbucks and McDonalds to get some breakfast. Just so you know that were not leaving you behind.” *Sent*. Bailey says, in a text to Mayra.
“Get your keys and let’s go.” Kris says, putting on her slippers.
“Okies.” Bailey says, smiling grabbing her car keys and putting on her slippers.
“Are we going through the drive thru?” Kris says, looking down at her pajamas.
“Yes, I hate going into restaurants looking like shit.” Bailey says, chuckling to herself.
“Bails you’re funny.” Kris says, opening and walking out the door.
“Thanks, I try.” Bailey says, following Kris out the door, shutting and locking it behind herself.
“You don’t have to try.” Kris says, smiling at Bailey.
“Sometimes I do.” Bailey says, walking to and unlocking her car also getting in her car.
“Nah Bails, you’re a perfect friend. Kris says, smiling.
“Awww stahp it!” Bailey says, blushing.
“Noo, I refuse.” Kris says, winking at me.
Bailey starts up the car backing the car out of the driveway, she searches up McDonalds and Starbucks near the condo.
“Alright lets go to Starbucks on Atlanta Avenue, then drive to Beach Blvd.” Bailey says, driving past Michelle’s house and turns onto the road off the street that the condo is on.
“Do you have your iPod with you Kris?” Bailey says, as she drives towards Atlanta Avenue.
“Yeah I do. What would you like to listen to?” Kris says, plugging her iPod into the plug that Bailey has in her car.
“Tidal Wave by Owl City it explains why I moved from Wisconsin in the first place almost perfectly.” Bailey says, humming along before the music even starts playing.
“Got it.” Kris says, as she clicks the center button on her iPod and it starts playing.
“Cool thanks.” Bailey says, smiling as she taps her fingers on the steering wheel.
“Welcome.” Kris says, smiling.
“So if we want to get our haircut and get school supplies.” Bailey says, while keeping her eyes on the road.
“After we get back with food and we all eat and get ready.” Kris says, while playing a game on her phone.
“Sounds like a plan to me.” Bailey says, adjusting her glasses and turning into the drive thru/ parking lot of McDonalds.
“What do you want? It’s on me this morning.” Kris says, looking at me.
“Kris are you sure?” Bailey says, looking at Kris.
“Absolutely.” Kris says, happily.
“I’ll get Starbucks.” Bailey says, looking at Kris.
“No that’s also on me.” Kris says in a firm voice.
“Okies are you 100% sure?” Bailey says, in a sad puppy dog type whimper.
“Yes.” Kris says, looking at Bailey.
Bailey pulls up and orders 3 sandwich combo meals with three Orange juices, and pulls up to the cash register window as Kris hands the money to Bailey and she hands the money to the woman in the window, receives the change as she hands it off to Kris and proceeds to pull up to the window to receive the food, as she pulls out of the Mcdonalds drive thru and proceeds to go to Starbucks to get coffee. Upon reaching the Starbucks drive thru/ parking lot, Bailey drives to the drive thru and orders 3 iced coffees with cream and Kris hands the money to Bailey as she hands it to the guy in the window.
“Is it ok if I put it in the tip jar?” Bailey says, looking at Kris.
“Go for it. I love Starbucks. They deserve tips.” Kris says, smiling.
“Do you need a carrying thing for the coffees?” Bryan says, from the window.
“Yeah that would probably be a good thing.” Bailey says, as she looks at her full cup holders.
“Ok I can get that for you.” Bryan walks away, grabs a paper cup holder and walks back as he hands it to Bailey.
“Thank you for stopping at Starbucks.” Bryan says, smiling.
Bailey nods at Bryan and drives out of the parking lot and heads back to the condo, upon reaching the street that the condo is on she pulls into the drive way and parks as Bailey and Kris get out of the car, unlocks the door to the condo and finds the TV still on and Mayra still asleep.
“Jeez Mayra loves to sleep.” Kris says, setting down the food and iced coffees on the coffee table in front of the couch.
“I know right.” Bailey says, setting down the 3 orange juices on the coffee table along side the iced coffees.
“Do you think I should go wake up Mayra?” Kris says, in a concerned tone.
“If you want to, I can check out local Hair salons near by.” Bailey says, sitting down and grabbing her laptop from the table next to the couch.
“I think I might go wake her up, I don’t want her to starve.” Kris says, heading up the stairs towards the bedrooms.
Kris goes upstairs and to Mayra’s bedroom, as Bailey searches up hair salons and a Walmart nearest the condo, as Kris reaches the top of the stairs she heads to Mayra’s bedroom and knocks on the door but gets no answer.
“Mayra?” Kris says, in a concerned tone and knocking again.
“Mayra?” Kris says, again, this time opening the door and seeing Mayra still in bed.
Kris proceeds in the door and goes over to the side of Mayra’s bed and lightly shakes her awake.
“Mayra, we got McDonalds and Starbucks coffee, wake up.” Kris says, poking Mayra awake.
“Food?” Mayra says, turning and facing Kris.
“Yes food.” Kris says, coaxing Mayra out of bed.
“Come on get some food.” Kris says, as she walks out of Mayra’s room and down the stairs towards the living room where Bailey is sitting there with her laptop on her lap and sipping on orange juice.
“Well I got her up, Bails.” Kris says, as she sits on the couch and sees Mayra coming down the stairs and sitting in between Bailey and Kris.
“I see that.” Bailey says, smiling and gives Mayra a bacon egg and cheese bagel and hashbrown from McDonalds.
“Yum.” Mayra says, smiling.
“So what’s our plan of attack for today?” Mayra says, as she takes a bite of her sandwich.
“Well Kris and I both agreed we have to get our haircuts for school, and we have to get school supplies.” Bailey says, taking a bite of her bacon egg and cheese bagel.
“Oh god I need to get my hair cut too and school supplies. Good idea you guys.” Mayra says, taking the last bite of her sandwich and she starts eating her hashbrown.
“I think I hear the mail truck coming.” Bailey says, finishing up eating her sandwich.
“I’ll get it.” Bailey says, getting up and putting on her slippers as she walks out the door.
“Well that was fast. She must want to see if we got our school schedules.” Kris says, looking outside the window.
“I hope so we don’t have much longer to wait to get them.” Mayra says, getting excited as she watches My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic on the flat screen TV.
Bailey receives the mail and there are 3 envelopes from Huntington Beach High School as Bailey walks back into the condo to deliver the envelopes to Kris and Mayra.
“What is in the mail?” Mayra says, looking at Bailey holding the 3 envelopes.
“We got our schedules.” Bailey says, handing the envelopes to Kris and May May.
“Oh my god!” Mayra says, as she jumps off the couch and sits back down with the envelope in hand as she starts opening it.
Kris and Bailey start opening their envelopes.
“What does your schedules look like.” Bailey says, looking at Mayra and Kris.
“My schedule is. 1st Period is Gym, 2nd Period is Spanish, 3rd Period is Math, 4th is Music, after 4th is lunch, 5th is English, and 6th is Visual Arts.” Mayra says, looking at Bailey.
“My schedule is. 1st Period is Gym, 2nd Period is a Free Period or study hall, 3rd Period is Science, 4th Period is Music, then lunch, 5th Period is English, 6th Period is Visual Arts.” Bailey says, looking at Kris.

“Well we still need to get school supplies.” Mayra says, looking at Bailey.
“Yes we do and I will make a call to this hair salon for appointments on main street. It’s right by Ihop which we ate at yesterday morning.” Bailey says, looking and nodding at Mayra and Kris as they head up the stairs to take a shower and get ready.
Bailey dials the number to the salon which she found online that also has a lot of good reviews and tells us to see someone named Dahvie.
“Hello thank you for calling Main Street Hair Company. This is Amy, how may I help you?” Amy says, over the phone.
“Hi, I’m Bailey I was wondering if you had any openings available for Dahvie?” Bailey says, happily.
“How many he has 3 available left.” Amy says.
“Well I have to get my haircut and my 2 friends have to get them done too.” Bailey says, bounding up the stairs.
“What are your friend’s names so I can write them in the book.” Amy says, scribbling down on the paper in front of her.
“Kristan is with a K, and Mayra.” Bailey says, spelling it out.
“Thank you, your appointments are at 3:45, 4, and 4:15.” Amy says, happily.
“You’re welcome and thank you.” Bailey says, smiling.
“Have a nice day.” Amy says, happily.
“You too.” Bailey says, happily and hangs up the phone.
“Kris and May May.” Bailey says, getting their attention.
“Yes?” May May and Kris says, as they both pop their head out of the door ways.
“Haircuts at 3:45, 4, and 4:15.” Bailey says, as she walks in her room to get ready.
“Awesome, Thanks Bails.” Kris says as she walks in her room smiling.
“Thank you Bailey.” Mayra says, as she walks back in her room and smiles.
“You’re welcome.” Bailey says, as she shouts it to Kris and Mayra.
Bailey picks out her black A Day To Remember shirt with a wolf on it, with her black skinnies with straps, rainbow belt, her black Vans her black and white checkered hair bows, and rainbow style makeup with a black wing.
Kris picks out her black tube top with a bow across the waist, her jean mini skirt, a gold ring with purple flowers, music note earrings, a necklace that says *Dance* a black cord bracelet with gold studs, her white purse with a gold handle and her cream colored flip flops.
Mayra picks out her Falling In Reverse Zombie shirt with her black shorts with a distressed cut off skull on the pocket, black ankle socks, her Zombie Girl necklace and her black converse.
Bailey, Kris, and Mayra all head into their bathrooms and shower, when they are done they decide to get dressed and walk down stairs and sits on the couch being that its only 12:30 pm.
“I was thinking about signing up for a Costco membership so we can buy in bulk for the house and wont have to keep making trips to Walmart all the time we need something. God knows that were going to need toilet paper and monster energy.” Bailey says, sitting on the couch.
“That is true.” Kris says, chuckling.
“Do you think your dad would sign you up for an account at Costco?” Mayra says, looking at Bailey.
“Yeah he probably would.” Bailey says.
“Should I call him and ask him?” Bailey says, looking up closest Costco locations to Huntington Beach.
“I would.” Mayra says, while being Twitter on her laptop.
Bailey decides to text her dad to ask if they could get a membership to Costco being that they would need a lot of toilet paper and a lot of other necessities for around the house. Bailey’s dad said yes and to get directions for the closest Costco to the condo and decide when they want to leave.
“My dad said yes!” Bailey exclaims excitedly.
“Awesome.” Mayra says, excitedly.
“Sweet.” Kris says, looking at the TV screen.
“The nearest one closest to the condo is in Cypress, California.” Bailey says, to her dad in a text not wanting to actually speak to him over the phone.
“Ok ill look up those directions, just let me know when the 3 of you want to go.” Bailey’s dad says, in a text back.
“Sure will, the 3 of us have haircuts at 3:45, 4, and 4:15.” Bailey replies, to her dads text.
“We could go after your haircuts.” Bailey’s dad says, as he replies to Bailey’s text.
“We all tend to get a little itchy after our showers, so we’ll come back home and shower to get all the hair off our backs.” Bailey says, in a text.
Bailey waits for a response from her dad, but doesn’t get one.
“Shall we go get our school supplies?” Bailey says, as she gets up grabbing the trash and putting it in the garbage can in the kitchen.
“Yep.” Mayra and Kris say, together getting up from the comfy couch as they grab their iced coffees and walking out the door.
Mayra, Kris, and Bailey all head out of the condo locking up and heading to Bailey’s car, Bailey starts up the car as she backs out of the drive way and proceeds to drive to Walmart to pick up plenty of school supplies for their first day of school the following Tuesday.
Once getting to Walmart and getting all the school supplies they need getting confused where to find all the office/ school supplies Kris, Bailey and Mayra all head back towards Main Street for their haircuts now it being 3:30 pm. Mayra, Bailey and Kris find Main Street Hair Company. Bailey, Mayra, Kris all walk in and up to the counter. Bailey brought a picture of a choppy layered haircut that she wants.
“Hello there. I’m Amy and welcome to Main Street Hair Company.” Amy says, looking up from the counter.
“We’re here for our 3:45, 4, and 4:15 appointments with Dahvie.” Bailey says, as she looks around and spots non other then Dahvie Vanity.
“Oh my god!” Bailey says, slapping Kris on the arm.
“What?” Kris says, as she rubs her arm.
“Look!” Bailey says, pointing into the direction in which Dahvie is.
“Oh my dear god.” Kris says, turning Mayra’s head also spotting Jayy Von Monroe.
“Oh god.” Mayra says, as she goes and sits down in a chair to catch her breath.
“You ok over there?” Bailey says, as she follows Mayra and she sits in the chair next to Mayra.
“Almost got week at the knees if you know what I mean.” Mayra says, as she fans herself with an Alternative Press magazine near by.
“I know what you mean, I get like that when I see a hot band dude.” Kris and Bailey say, as Kris sits next to Bailey in a chair.
“Dahvie your next three appointments are here.” Amy says turning around as Dahvie is just finishing up with Jayy’s hair.
“Alright, I’m almost done with my client, Amy.” Dahvie says, looking at Amy.
Dahvie’s other career is being in a band, his band is Blood On The Dance Floor and his other band mate is Jayy who is in the same shop at this very moment.
“All done with Mr. Monroe here.” Dahvie says, as he walks up to the counter.
“Who’s first?” Dahvie says, as he looks over at the three girls.
“I will.” Bailey says, blushing and raising her hand.
“Alright come on back.” Bailey says, walking up to him and handing him the picture she brought.
“You want this haircut?” Dahvie says, smiling.
“Yep.” Bailey says, smiling and blushing at him.
“You’re adorable.” Dahvie says, smiling back at Bailey causing her to giggle.
“Take a seat.” Dahvie says, pointing to the chair as he props the picture of a girl that has a choppy layered haircut against his mirror.
Dahvie begins to spray down Bailey’s hair with water from the water bottle on his workstation, puts the plastic cape over Bailey’s shoulders and proceeds to cut Bailey’s black hair like the one in the picture Bailey handed him earlier.
“You’re all set.” Dahvie says, as he finishes up.
“Who’s next.” Dahvie says as Kris gets up and walks over to his workspace.
“Well hello gorgeous.” Dahvie says, as he winks at Kristan.
“Not so bad yourself.” Kris says, giggling like a school girl.
Kris proceeds to sit in Dahvie’s chair to get her haircut.
“Just a trim is all I need.” Kris says, smiling.
“Alright I can do that for you. Sit tight.” Dahvie says, as he sprays Kris’s hair with the spray bottle and puts the plastic cape over Kris’s shoulders.
Dahvie goes onto cut Kristan’s hair taking off about an inch so it gives it a fresh look and no more split ends and a swoop bang on the left
“All done.” Dahvie says, as he puts his comb back in the sterilizer container and gets out a clean pair of scissors.
“Thank You.” Kris says, winking at Dahvie and walking back over to Bailey and sitting down.
“Last but not least.” Dahvie says, turning around and looking at Mayra smiling.
Mayra gets up, walks over and sits down in the chair smiling as Dahvie puts the plastic cape over Mayra’s shoulders, sprays her hair with water from the bottle and proceeds to give her a swoop bang to the left, and takes off an inch of hair.
After Mayra, Kris and Bailey get their haircuts, Dahvie meets them at the counter to have them pay for the haircuts as they are done Dahvie slips them his, Jayy’s, and Jeffree Star’s number even though Jeffree is busy at the studio recording new music. The note includes the numbers and says *Call if you need anything*. The girls took that as a hint and they slipped the numbers in their pockets and left to go back to the condo to shower off the hair off of their backs and change into different clothes.
When the girls are done changing, Bailey calls her dad to tell him that it’s a go, to go to Costco to sign up for a membership with her dad so they all drive out to the nearest Costco in Cypress which is 24 minutes away from the condo, the decide that it would be a good idea to pick up toilet paper and Monster energy in a 36 pack they head back to the condo and Bailey’s dad heads back to the hotel. A few days go past and finally on the Sunday before school, Kris and Bailey get a call from Shannon the manager at Hottopic.
“Hey is this Kris and Bailey.” Shannon says, in a good mood.
“Yes this is Kris and Bailey.” Kris says, as she puts the phone on speaker phone.
“Ok good wasn’t sure but since you both have the same address on the applications I just figured I would call one phone and talk to you both.” Shannon says, again in a good mood.
“So my co-manager Stephie and I have decided that we would like to schedule an interview with the both of you, if tomorrow Monday late morning, say around lunch time at Olive Garden on Beach Boulevard.” Shannon says, in a continued happy mood.
“Sure I guess that should work.” Bailey says, smiling.
“Yep it should work.” Kris says, sounding positive.
“Great see you guys at 12?” Shannon says.
“See you then.” Bailey and Kris say, together jumping around and smiling as they hang up the phone.
“Oh my god!” Bailey exclaims, happily.
“I hope this means good news.” Kris says, jumping up and down.
“I’m pretty sure it does Kris.” Bailey says, jumping up and down with Kris.
“I can’t fucking wait.” Kris says, excitedly.
Bailey, Kris, and Mayra decide to go to sleep considering Bailey and Kris have an early start to meet with Shannon at Olive Garden. The next morning Kris and Bailey wake up around 10 am to get ready for their interviews.
“Bailey are you up?” Kris says, knocking on Bailey’s bedroom door.
“Yea I’m up.” Bailey says, answering the door.
“Ok cool just wondering and making sure you weren’t still sleeping.” Kris says, as she walks across the hall back to her room.
“I’m going to go get ready.” Bailey says, picking out an outfit from her closet.
“Same here.” Kris says, as she does the same as Bailey.
Bailey and Kris hop in the shower, get all squeaky clean Bailey does her make up with just gold across the eyelid with a little black half circle in the crease and a black eyeliner wing. Kris does gold all over her lid with a dark brown/ black above the gold with a paler gold and a cream colored eye shadow in the crease.

Kris’s interview outfit consists of a black and white polka dot dress, a pair of earrings, a ring with a black stone and gold ring, a black bow necklace on a gold chain and a pair of black heels.
Bailey and Kris put the finishing touches on their outfits as they both open their bedroom doors both at the exact same time.
“Oh Bailey that outfit is so pretty.” Kris says, smiling at Bailey.
“Thanks Kris. Your outfit is so pretty.” Bailey says, smiling as she fixes any last minute details with her Jennifer Lopez Live Luxe perfume and deodorant, as Kris does the same.
“I hope we get the job.” Kris says, excitedly.
“I hope we do too.” Bailey says, as she walks down the stairs to the living room.
“What time is it now?” Kris says, as she follows Bailey down the stairs and to the living room.
“It is now 11 o clock.” Bailey says, as she checks her phone.
“We should probably leave around 11:30?” Kris says, as she grabs a Monster energy for both her and Bailey from the fridge
“Most likely. Should I drive to Olive Garden?” Bailey says, looking at Kris.
“Sure.” Kris says, nodding opening the can of Monster.
“Alright I will drive. Later I think we should go and look for Huntington Beach High School.” Bailey says, opening her can of Monster.
30 minutes comes too quickly as Bailey sends a text to Mayra saying they are leaving for their interview and will be back when it’s done. Bailey and Kris head out to Bailey’s car locking the house on the way out as Bailey gets in her car and start it to head to the Olive Garden that is about 15 minutes away, Bailey and Kris sit there in silence for most of the way there just thinking of what questions Shannon and Stephie might have for them.
“Here it is.” Kris shouts out, as she points the entrance to the parking lot of Olive Garden.
“Thank you Kris.” Bailey says, as she pulls into the parking lot and finishes any late minute touches.
Bailey and Kris get out of the car and head into Olive Garden, once inside they sit on the benches near the hostesses stand. Bailey and Kris stand once they see Shannon and another person walking in with her.
“Hello Kristan and Bailey.” Shannon says, as she walks up with Stephie to the hostesses stand while Kris and Bailey follow behind.
“Hello how many?” The hostess asks picking out menus.
“Four please.” Shannon says, looking at Stephie, Kris, and Bailey.
“Right this way please.” The hostess says, leading them to a table with four seats.
“Your waiter will be with you shortly.” The hostess says, setting down the menus and walks away.
“Thank you.” Shannon says, as the hostess walks away.
“So this is Stephie, my co manager.” Shannon says, pointing to Stephie.
“Hello. Nice to meet you guys.” Stephie says, smiling while she shakes Kris and Bailey’s hands.
“Hello. Nice to meet you too.” Kris and Bailey say, together towards Stephie.
“Well we loved your resumes and we were impressed.” Shannon says, looking at Stephie.
“There were a lot of good details on both of them.” Stephie says, looking back at Shannon.
“We wanted to meet up with you to basically get to know you guys better.” Shannon says, smiling at Kris and Bailey.
“What interests you to work at Hottopic?” Stephie says, looking at Kris.
“Well I love music, I buy all my band merchandise from there and it’s where I’ve always wanted to work.” Kris says, looking back at Stephie.
“How about you?” Stephie says, looking at Bailey.
“My answer is pretty much like Kris’s, but I’ve always seen my self working in a store such as Hottopic.” Bailey says, looking back at Stephie.
“Alright awesome. Good answers.” Stephie says, smiling and looking at Shannon.

The waiter scribbles the lemonade on his notepad.
“And for you?” Aaron says, looking at Kris.

The waiter writes the rest of the orders down and walks away.
“Kris and Bailey?” Shannon says, looking at Bailey and Kris smiling.

“You may want to call your dad.” Kris says, holding out Bailey’s phone to her.
“Yep.” Bailey says, grabbing her phone from Kris.
Bailey dials her dad’s number.
“Hello?” Bailey’s dad says, over the phone.
“Dad, I…” Bailey says, in a happy tone.
“You what?” Bailey’s dad says, in a confused tone.
“I got the job at Hottopic!” Bailey says, excitedly.
“Congrats!” Bailey’s dad says, excitedly back.
“Well I just wanted to tell you I got the job.” Bailey says, putting the phone on speaker.
“I’m so happy for you kiddo.” Bailey’s dad says, happily.
“We’re on our way back to the house to pick up Mayra and go find the high school.” Bailey says, in kind of a hurry.
“Alright I won’t keep you any longer, call me if you want to grab a bite to eat.” Bailey’s dad says.
“Alright I love you dad.” Bailey says, while she drives back home.
“I love you too kid.” Bailey’s dad, says as he hangs up.
Kris and Bailey get to the condo and unlock the front door to find Mayra awake and sitting on the couch watching the My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic.
“Hey Bailey, and Kris. How did your interview go?” Mayra says, questioning the looks on Kris and Bailey’s faces.
“Well… We got the job, both of us did.” Bailey says, looking at Mayra with a smile as wide from ear to ear.
“You did!?” Mayra says, getting up and hugging both Kris and Bailey.
“I knew you guys would get the job.” Mayra says, excitedly.
“It’s an awesome feeling.” Bailey says, smiling.
“We should go find Huntington Beach high school before tomorrow morning.” Bailey says, gesturing towards the door.
“Should I go change?” Mayra says, looking down at her pajamas.
“Nah you really don’t have to. We’re not going to get out of the car.” Bailey says, taking off her cardigan and putting it on the coat rack by the door.
“Alright then I guess we should go. Are you going to change?” Mayra says, looking at their clothes.
“I’m pretty comfortable wearing this. I’m surprised.” Bailey says, spinning like a fashion model.
“Gorgeous.” Mayra says, while putting on her converse
“Let’s go.” Bailey says, while opening the door and going to her car.
“Come on.” Bailey says, gesturing to her car.
“We’re coming Bails.” Kris says, as they walk to Bailey’s car.
Kris, Mayra, and Bailey all get into Bailey’s car, Bailey starts the car backing out of the drive way and finds their way to Huntington Beach High School so they can get to school early tomorrow AM.
“Are you hungry May May?” Bailey says, while driving.
“Yea I am.” Mayra says, pointing out a McDonalds.
“Ok we’ll go through the drive thru.” Bailey says, pulling into the drive thru.
“What would you like May May?” Bailey says, while pulling up to the speaker box.
“Chicken Selects, please.” Mayra says, handing me a 5 dollar bill.
“Hello what can I get for you this afternoon?” The voice over the speaker says.
“The 3 chicken selects meal with water.” Bailey says, as she takes the 5 dollar bill from Mayra.
“Your total comes to $4.50. Please pull around.” The voice over the speaker says.
Bailey pulls up to the 1st window and hands the person the $5 bill, Bailey gets 50 cents in change and she pulls up to the second window and receives the food and hands it off to Mayra.
Mayra chows down on her food as Bailey drives back to the condo. Upon getting back to the condo Bailey, Kris and Mayra all get out of Bailey’s car and unlocks the condo door seeing Lily lying in her cat bed that Bailey brought with her from Wisconsin. Bailey puts her iPod on the docking system and plays some music for background noise. Kris, Bailey, and Mayra sit on the floor grabbing their schedules and the school supplies that are in the Walmart bags and they start unpacking the notebooks, paper, pencils, pens, and binders and they start labeling all of the stuff as their own stuff and they pack it away in their backpacks. When all the labeling and organizing is done Bailey and Kris go and change into their pajamas so they are all ready for bed when it comes time to going to sleep, they come back down joining Mayra on the couch as the door bell rings its Bailey’s dad delivery Chinese food for the girls for dinner and he leaves heading back to the hotel.
After Bailey’s dad leaves the girls to eating their dinner, Bailey pops in Nightmare Before Christmas which is Bailey’s favorite movie, after the movie Bailey, Mayra, and Kris put away the leftovers and head up to their rooms to brush their teeth and do what they need and go to sleep cause the next day is the first day of school at a new school.
