Chapter 6.....The Mall and Out to Dinner at the Taxidermy.....
Megan woke up first, and found Lindsay and Taylor curled up on seperate couches in the living room. She smiled, at least they both had a good time. She yawned and walked into the kitchen.
"Morning." Isaac smiled, stumbing into the kitchen and kissing her on the cheek.
"Hello," she pulled him down and kissed him on his mouth. "Where did you dissapear to last night?"
"Faith and Lucy went out, and got in a bit of trouble." Isaac said, "I doubt either one of them will be up early.
"Oh, I don't know I was thinking that they should come to the mall with us today, something we can all do together and somewhat get along." Megan said, pouting that her plan might not work.
"That would be nice, but I have a feeling Luc will have a major hangover, and the answer will be no."
"Hangover?" Megan gasped.
"Unfortunatly, I guess Kris hangs out with a great group too." Isaac said, "Speak of the devil." Lucy came out of her room in her bathrobe.
"ASPRIN! GET ME A GODDAMN ASPRIN NOW!!!" She screamed.
"Whoa okay..." Isaac said and went to the bathroom to get Lucy some pills. He went quickly afraid she may hyperventilate soon.
"Morning," Megan said as she cheerifully opened the blinds.
"Ahhhhhhh!!" Lucy screamed. "Are you trying to kill me dammit?"
"No," Megan said absently as she sat down at the table.
"Where's the food?" Lucy asked as she laid her head on the table.
"There isn't any," Megan shrugged. "No one went to the store."
"No way," Lucy said and lifted her head. She had bags under eyes and her eyes were blood shot.
"Luc, you look horrible!" Megan laughed. Lucy jumped up and ran to a mirror. She let out a scream and ran to her room. Megan heard a loud slam as Lucy began looking for a cure for a hangover.
"Here's the aspirin..." Isaac trailed off as he came into the kitchen to find Megan quietly laughing. "I won't ask."

"No Dad," Kristen said as she slammed her bedroom door in her dad's face. "NO!"
"Kris, hunny, you're gonna have to get used to it," Shawn said softly from her door. "Linds, Meg, and everyone else is coming tonight. You have to be here and you have to be on your best behavior."
"I hate her Dad," Kristen said as she flipped in her stereo. "Why couldn't you get someone like AJ's dad got?"
"AJ's dad married a street hooker," Shawn said as he sat next to his daughter on her bed.
"But she's cool, pretty, and has tons of cash!" Kristen said and looked at him. "I'm sure she could get you one of her friends!"
"Kris," her dad chuckled as he gave her a warm hug. "Becca loves you."
"But I don't love Becca," she seethed. "She only wants your money Daddy."
"Come on Kris, be fair," he said. "Becca's very promising. She's young, beautiful-"
"Snotty, stuck up, money driven, egotistical, self centered, cruel! She HATES me!" Kristen cut him off.
"That's enough!" her dad said as he stood up. "You're coming to dinner tonight. Be home at six o'clock sharp. Dinner will be ready at seven. Be ready by then. Not another word of this."
"Dad-" she whined.
"Kristen, I meant it," he said and walked to her door. "Did you ever call AJ?"
"No."
"do it."
"Why?"
"He's bugging the hell outta me."
"Good."
"Kris-"
"Sorry."
"Have fun today. It's nine o clock. Need a ride? Let me know," he said as he walked out of her room and down the stairs.
I didn't think he was SERIOUS about Becca. The super thin, super gorgeous, French model look a like was a snotty bitch who was after her dad's money, as Kristen often put it. He can't marry her. She'll ship me off to Turkey or somewhere! Ahhhh!!! Wasn't I enough for Daddy? She asked herself as she picked out a pair of baggy dark green cargos, a black tank top, and some docs. Smiling, she remembered the bet she had with Zac. I'm gonna win this. It'll be just like taking candy from a baby. I'll get what I want. I always get what I want. Kristen continued smiling as she pulled on her clothes and ran a brush through her thick hair. Quickly, she put it up and put some lip gloss on. Might as well, she thought as she picked up the phone, but decided to call Lindsay instead. One ring... two... three... four... no one's home she thought as someone picked up.
"Lo?" a guy asked.
"Heylo..." she said. "Tay?"
"Yeah... Kris?"
"That would be me."
"What's up?"
"Nothing really. You?"
"Actually... Lindsay was just about to call and see if you wanted to go with us to the mall."
"Us?"
"Lindsay, Meg, Ryan, Faith, Isaac, Zac, Lucy..."
"Oh. Yeah... sure."
"You need a ride?"
"My dad will take me."
"Ok, we're leaving in twenty minutes."
"Takes twenty to get there."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Oh..."
"I have to make a call before I go. Then I'll leave. Meet me in front of the waterfall by Hot Topic ok?"
"Yeah, sounds good."
"Ok, bye," she said and hung up before she got a response. "Well...there's my day planned." She smiled happily as she picked up the small blue, clear cordless phone. She toyed with the idea of not calling AJ. Make him suffer, she thought teasingly. What shall I do to Tay today? she thought as she laid back on her bed and began making plans. AJ's phone rang five time. "AJ?" she asked as someone picked up and grunted.
"Kristen?" he asked, his voice still asleep.
"Yeah... hey babe," she smiled. "You don't sound too good."
AJ rolled over in his bed and glanced at the clock. "It's nine fifteen in the damn morning!"
"Dad told me to call..." she said innocently. "How's it going?"
"Great..." he said and sat up. "Hey... some guys and me are going to the mall. You gonna be there?"
"Uhhhh..." she said and decided it best not to let him and Taylor cross paths that day. It's a big mall, she decided. Besides, he's ok with it. I've just never been with another guy in front of him. "I think Dad's making me work two shifts today."
"Ohhh.." he said, his disappointment showing. "Don't forget, Tuesday... you and me..."
"I know AJ," she sighed. Why's he always reminding me of stuff? It's not like I'm gonna ditch him.
"Just makin sure," he said and sighed.
"What Babe?" she asked.
"I met a girl last night."
"Oh?"
"Yeah."
"Met a girl as in you're gonna break with me met a girl or as in you fucked her met a girl?" Kristen asked. He can't break up with me! Kristen screamed to herself.
"Neither really," he said. "She mentioned you and a guy Taylor."
"Oh Tay!" Kristen said. "Was her name Faith by any chance?"
"Yeah, and a little preppy looking chick."
"Lucy."
"Yeah. Anyhow, they said you were pretty serious with this Taylor guy. Something like as soon as Faith and him broke up. You went after him. Faith and I talked about it. It's ok if you fucked him... and all. But you know how I hate when you kiss them, hug them... and spend time with them. It's like you're going out with them. I don't wanna lose you," he said into the phone. His voice almost cracked.
Kristen smiled sweetly. He cares... she thought. "Look Babe, don't worry. He's nothing to me. Ilove you."
"I love you too."
"I gotta go... lesson's start soon."
"Later Baby."
"Bye Babe," she said and hung up. "Dad!!!! Take me to the mall!" she screamed as she ran down the stairs.
------------------------------
"Guys... I'll be right back," Taylor said and side tracked from the group. Waterfall... Hot Topic... ahhh... other end of the mall! Taylor thought as he walked quickly by himself. Zac, Lucy, Lindsay, and Ryan were who he was with. Isaac and Megan went off by themselves. Gotta find her... he thought. He wasn't sure what made him want he
