I snapped my journal shut, hopping off my bed and heading straight to my closet. I threw on some yoga pants, along with a sports bra and a workout shirt. Not like I was trying to impress anyone. I then headed straight to the bathoom to do my business. Oh, great. I got my period. Yippee...

"Andi!!!" I heard my mother call. "Help me please!" She sounded really stressed out, so I dashed downstairs into the kitchen. I found her bent over a recipe, fingers threaded through her hair. Food was piled around the counter, cooked and raw. What happened in here?

"Mom?" I asked, looking at her confused.

"You do it. Please." She asked, throwing her hands to the paper. I giggled a little, seeing that she had flour powdered all over her face. She stuck her tongue out at me as I moved over to her. She never has been good at baking. That's always been my thing.

"Fine." I groaned, secretly happy. I loved to bake. I guess she was trying to make muffins. That's not working out too well. I scanned the ingredients that were laid out before, working skillfully as I whipped up the batter. Soon enough, they were in the oven and not even a half hour later, I was eating one. I moaned as the muffin went down my throat. I don't just love to do it, but I'm really good at it. Mom smiled at me as she took one as well.

"I still can't believe you almost used cream cheese." I teased, taking another bite.

"I thought it was the butter!" She defended, a smile attached to her features.

"It was the pink one!" I exlaimed. I couldn't help but mock her. It's just too funny.

"You know what?" She suddenly said, dipping her hand in the leftover flour that I had pulled out. Without a moment's hesitation, her hand patted my face lightly, leaving a white palm print on my cheek.

"Oh, this is war." I said, smirking as I left a white mark on the right side of her head. She took a swing at me, but I dodged and bopped her nose. She laughed. Then I laughed. And in about 3 minutes, we both desperately needed a shower. I held up my hands in surrender.

"I'm done. I give up. You win."

"I knew I would. Mom's always win. It's our right." I made a funny face as she walked toward the stairs.

"I'm taking a shower, so go pick up some mcdonalds for when your dad gets home. Grab us some too." She said, standing on the bottom step. "There's some cash in my wallet. You know where it is." She headed up the stairs.

"Okay." I said, cleaning up the counter. I'm such a good daughter. Well, adopted daughter. Same thing though.

"Get me a big mac!!" She shouted from upstairs. Faintly, I heard a door slam. I honestly don't know how she doesn't get fat. She eats like she is. Ugh, I wish I had her genes. I mean I'm skinny, but for an adult, she looks good. What am I saying? Why am I talking about mom like this? This is just weird.

I walked over to the table, grabbing two twenties out of her wallet. You never know how much this is gonna cost. I slid on my gym shoes after grabbing a pair of socks from my dresser. Before I forgot, I washed the flour of my face. Wouldn't want to go out in public looking like that. No make up is something I can handle. I can't do looking like a snowman in the fall. McDonalds isn't that far from my house, so I figured I'd just walk. I grabbed my headphones and started my music on my phone before heading outside.

***

It didn't take long to get to McDonalds and now I was standing in the short line inside. I pulled ouot my headphones, stuffin them in my pocket. Hmmm what do I want today. I kind of want a big mac like mom. Maybe I should get a wrap. Oh, the barbaque one looks good. I should get two of those. What would dad want? I'll just get him a big mac like I'm getting mom. That should work.

"Hi, what can I get you today?" The employee asked kindly with a smile and I stepped up to the register.

"Hi, can I get two big macs and two barbaque chicken wraps, crispy. Oh and 3 large fries and 3 large drinks." I stated swiftly, bouncing on the balls of my face. I watched as the girl at the cash register shot me a look, eyeing my slim figure and then glancing at the screen that held my order. I smiled at her. Bitch. She shouldn't look at people that way. It's not like I'm eating all this by myself! Thankully, I got my food quickly and was now standing at the drink station, contemplating what to get my parents.

"Andi?"

"Huh?" I whirled around, dropping one of the cups on the ground. At least it was empty. I looked up into Louis's eyes.

"Oh, hey." I muttered as he bent to pick it up for me. I smiled timidly as he handed it back to me. I turned back to the drink fountain, filling up one of them with coke. Louis began to fill his own drinks beside me.

"What are you doing here?" Louis asked and I shot him a funny look.

"Getting food for the family. You?" I asked, already knowing the answer. This conversation is so stupid.

"For the boys." I nodded, filling up my last cup. I capped them all and threw some straws in the bag I recieved.

"See ya round, Lou." I said, turning to go, but I felt his hand on my elbow. I peered back at him to see him looking at me shyly.

"Actually, I was gonna stop by your place on my way back. I wanted to uh know if you, um, wanted to maybe hang out today?" He asked shyly. I cocked my head at him. Did I want to hang out with Louis? I didn't not want to. I haven't actually thought about it. I wasn't really planning to do anything today. My gaze dipped to my clothes. Oh my god. Why didn't I change? I mean I'm not trying to impress him, but he's a celebrity for god's sakes and I look like I just got up. I did, but he didn't need to know that. I smiled up at him. He's already seen me now and if he still to be around me, then what the hell.

"Sure, Lou. I'd love too." He grinned with relief.

"Great, I've got the best idea for what to do."

"Really? What?" I questioned, picking up my food and drinks after placing them in the holder. He took them from me. Aw, that's sweet.

"It's a surprise."

Good thing I like surprises.
