ANDREA’S POV

"That little demon!". I scream and went straight to Annalia's room with my favorite jeans in my hands. I open the door and see  her lying on her bed. I threw the already shredded jeans at her. She just turned, layed on her back put her hands at the back of her head and gave me a cheeky smile.

   "Aww, darling don't you like the new design it's pretty, isn't it too bad you can't wear it anymore?". She coos looking at the jeans and then turned to face me.

Ugh, I wish I could wipe that smile away from her face. "You tore my favorite jeans you idiot and you're smiling?" I scream into her face but I don't think it had any effect because then she started laughing. I did the first thing that came to mind, I dragged her out of the bed by her legs but she was holding on to the sheets, that didn't stop me.

She screams. "No, no, no, Rea please stop you're gonna kill me. She pleads still holding on to the sheets and trying to wiggle her legs free, but I didn't budge I continued tugging."Nah, I'm not letting you go, not until you provide a solution to that". I say puckering my lips and motioning to the jeans that was still lying on the bed.

   "Fine, fine I'll get you a new jean tomorrow". She still hasn't said what I wanted to hear. I held her one of leg in between mine so that my left hand was free and proceeded to slightly twist the other. She wailed. "Okay, Rea, I'll get your EXACT jeans tomorrow". She repeats, clearly emphasizing on the word 'exact'.

Now that's what I wanted to hear. I let her go and she breathes a sigh of relief. She glares at me. "What if I had hit my head on the bed post and had a concussion".

"Oh please... You're being a drama queen. I want my exact jeans tomorrow Anna and I'm not kidding". I say sternly and return the glare.

She sat on the bed cross-legged with a slight frown. "I got back at you, but with a price. I can't believe I'm going to the mall tomorrow. Can't I just give you the money and you go get the jeans yourself". She says with pleading eyes.

"Is mama too lazy to go out tomorrow". I pout looking at her and she nods still giving me that pleading look.

"NO, we're going on a shopping trip tomorrow Anna". I say smiling and dancing around.

She just grunted and laid on the bed, arms wide apart."But... but... I don't want to leave my baby alone". She said referring to her bed.

I look at her and shook my head.

"Lazy potato. You know what I've changed my mind we're going to the mall right now". I grabbed her cell phone, ran into the living room and out the door.

"Arghh, come on" I could hear her scream, I know that she'll definitely come out now that I have got her phone. Luckily I was wearing something nice, a black shirt and shorts that ended just few inches above my knees.

She came out few minutes later wearing a joggers and a black shirt with her hair in a bun. If looks could kill, I would have been six feet under by now. 

   "I hate you". She spat locked the door of our apartment and proceeded to walk down the stairs. I just giggle, went after her and hugged her from behind. "I love you too sis".

Annalia and I have been bestfriends for as long as I can remember. We were practically sisters. We got to the last stair and went out the gate.

   "So stupid, are we taking a taxi or we're walking?" She asks

   "We're walking dummy". I reply with a grin.

She nodded, put her arm around my shoulder and gave me a smile. "Off we go then".

We were halfway in getting to the mall, I linked my arms with Annalia's and started skipping. She just laughed and joined me. People stared at us as they passed by, we had silly smiles on our faces  but we didn't really care.

We got to the front of the mall and stopped. "Rea, look... Ice cream". She said excited and then looked at me.I knew what she wanted."Alright, let's go". I say smiling.

We walk to the ice cream stall and ordered. "One strawberry and one vanilla with sprinkles please".The vendor nods acknowledging our order. Few minutes later he hands us our ice creams in a fancy looking plastic cup.

   "Thank you". Annalia says giving him a cheeky grin and paid him.

"Now we can go and get your stupid jeans". She smiles and walks down to the mall.

   "My Jean isn't stupid". I say as I walk by her side.

"It is"

"It isn't"

"It is"

"It isn't"

"It is"

"It isn't"

"It is"

"It isn't"

"It isn't". "Ha! You just agreed that my Jean isn't stupid". I exclaim.

"Yeah, yeah smartass you won this time". 

 I put my arms around her and say, "You love me".

"Unfortunately I do". She replies with a funny frown.

I push the glass door to the mall open and we get in. We went straight to the cashier's counter.

"Please where can we find the jeans rack". Annalia asks. 

This is actually our first time here."Over there, by your right". She points to a corner few feet away. Annalia says 'thank you' and walks towards the direction, I follow.

Some minutes later and we still haven't found the jeans we were looking for. It is a stylish ripped designer jean.

Annalia looks at me and I could tell she really is sorry.

   "It's okay Anna, as you said before it's just a stupid jean I will pick another okay".

   "I'm really sorry, I didn't think it would be so hard to find. I shouldn't have torn..."

   "I'm serious, I will pick another jean I just loved it because of its designs. It's no biggie". I say cutting her off.

   "Okay fine, pick another let me pay and then we can go home".

I shuffle through the rack and see what I am looking for. I picked it out and turned. "See Anna, this one looks much better than the other". She gave me a small smile.

   "I know what you're trying to do Rea. Infact you know what pick up another jean with a different color I'll pay for both".

I knew she was still feeling guilty about what happened earlier but I knew it was a harmless prank and that was why I didn't bother. Sure it was my favorite jeans and pretty expensive but then anything that brings a frown to Annalia's face isn't worth it at all.

   "Yeah, one for you and one for me". I reply and turn back to the rack. She is about to say something but I cut her off. "Don't even object".

I found the perfect fitting jean for her and hand it over. "Come on, let's go to the changing room and try it out".

We came out of the changing rooms she is spotting a slight baggy red jean, it has a small rip at the knee and I am wearing a tight fitted slightly ripped jeans.  Well what can I say, I do have a thing for ripped jeans. We striked some poses in front of the mirrors and giggled.

   "Let's get crop tops to go with these". Annalia says, clearly excited. And that was exactly what we did.

 We got to the counter and paid for the clothes.

   "Time to head home, I'm so famished". Annalia grunted and I couldn't agree more.

We would have to sleep early tonight in order to be ready for our first day in college tomorrow.
