[quote=Madison]"... What's wrong with you, girl? You look like hot death." [/quote]

Maya held back a groan, pulling out her earbuds and folding her arms as she looked up at Madison. So much for some peace and quiet. This was very much the opposite of that.

[color=FireBrick]“I feel like hot death, who decided driving the whole way was a good decision?”[/color] she snorted, awkwardly stretching her splinted hand. It was very much not happy with all the use she’d put it through over the drive. She then raised an eyebrow, looking at what Madison had decided to wear. [color=FireBrick]“At least I’m not wearing that abomination against nature.”[/color]

[color=FireBrick]“I’m surprised you’re here anyway, after you walked out,” [/color]she raised an eyebrow, jumping right into the last hot topic of the shitshow that was the coven. Smart to bring up with Madison right away? Probably not. [color=FireBrick]“Not that I actually blame you, because Vashti is an ungrateful, self entitled bitch.”[/color]

Maya was also a bitch, so it was ironic coming from her, but at least she knew that. And was very open about it.

Isla got completely and utterly lost.

What kind of mall had so many entrances? What kind of mall even was this? She was used to the kind that [i]maybe[/i] had two entrances at either end but normally just one. Not like that. She’d tried to follow Mariah’s instructions of landmarks but honestly it didn’t help when it was Isla, whose sense of direction was the worst unless on her hometurf. Which she very much wasn’t.

She frowned as she got another message from Mariah… And ooo, smoothies sounded great! She needed that after walking around in the heat for what felt like hours. Now she just had to loop around the entire mall again to find the right entrance… Wait, there she was! She thanked whatever gods might exist that Mariah stood out in a crowd and headed over to her.

[color=f26522]“Hey!”[/color] she waved as she approached the taller girl who was pretty dramatically fanning herself while waiting. [color=f26522]“I got totally lost, how do you guys get any shopping done? This place is massive. I swear I’ve walked around for [i]so[/i] long.”[/color]

For all of her massive sigh of exhaustion Isla was practically bouncing around, as she normally did, hardly waiting for Mariah to stop lounging on a planter to head inside the mall. [color=f26522]“You said smoothies first, right? Where do we get those- Fuck, is that a whole playground?! Whatttt?”[/color]

Isla gaped as she constantly turned her head to look around the mall as if she was on another planet. It was so big and busy! Absolutely nothing like the ones back home. Like the biggest on back in Glasgow was outside!! You had to walk between the shops! And the other that she’d been to was just one long boy lined with shops and food places… like, wow! This was a whole other world!

[color=f26522]“Oh, oh, is that where we get smoothies?” [/color]she pointed to the tiki hut with weird massive fruits and a constantly going blender. Her eyes then widened even further as she saw the massive line winding away from it. [color=f26522]“... is that the queue? Seriously? Is it worth-Oh, look, there’s Penny!”[/color]

In a typical Isla fashion she got completely derailed when she spotted a familiar blond standing in the middle of a line of mostly middle aged women and some preppy teenagers that Isla was fairly certain didn’t exist in her country (what kind of teen got smoothies). 

[color=f26522]“Penny, Penny!” [/color]Isla waved to the girl in the line and practically bounded up to her, bright yellow hoodie meaning she was both visible in her approach and hard for Mariah to lose even with her constant moving. [color=f26522]“Are you getting a smoothie too? This line is crazy! I’m getting Mariah to show me around because I have no clue where anything is and might as well experience America while I’m here!”[/color]

She turned back to said girl in question, assuming she’d followed her over, and grinned. [color=f26522]“What’s after smoothies? I haven’t eaten yet, we should definitely get food… And shopping! Can adults go in that playground I saw earlier? Not that I want to, I'm just curious…”[/color]
