We arrive at the mall, and every single store we stopped in every store that sold clothes in my size. Not kidding, when we were done we each has at least 5 or 6 bags. Also, I finally got a phone. I exchanged numbers with Emily, and Pippa said she would give me everyone's number at the theater. We dropped Emily off at her house, and a couple minutes later I got a text saying, "THANK YOU SO MUCH!! that was the best afternoon ever <3." 

We get back to the theater, and we put all my new clothes into my closet, and I barely had enough space for everything. I had a rack on top for shirts, or dresses, and a bottom rack for shorts, or pants. Jasmine told me she had some time before the show to help me finish setting up phone. "There you go," Jasmine says after she finishes. She got all my music onto my phone, help me set up a Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat. "I gotta go get ready now, bye," she says before walking out.

"Thank you so much, I had a lot of fun this afternoon, and Emily did too," I say.

"I glad you did, I did too," she replies from the doorway. "I should really go get ready now."

I quickly run down to Lin's dressing to ask him, "Can I invite a friend over during the show? I promise we will be quiet during the show! Please!" 

"I don't see why not, who is it?" 

"Her name is Emily, she went shopping with us this afternoon. Also, she's a big fan."

"Okay," he said with a shrug.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I say as I run over to hug him. 

I walk back to room and text Emily, "wanna hang? lin said it was cool." Before I could set my phone down she responds saying 'be there in five.'

I start to follow all of the cast and my few friends on Twitter and Instagram and I receive another text from Emily saying, 'come and get me please, they don't believe me saying we are friends.'

'be right down.' I type as I run down the stairs and open the stage door, "Don't worry, she's with me," I say to the security guard near the door.

Emily and I walk back inside, and she says, "They were about to kick me out, thanks for coming to get me. So, what are we gonna do?"

"Well," I start, "I thought we could watch movies, but we have to be quiet because it's gonna be during the show."

"Well, do we have time to get a pizza?" She asks with her eyebrows raised.

"What time is it?" I ask.

"5:30," she replies after checking her phone.

"We have to call it in now," I say, then Emily orders us a medium pepperoni pizza, which arrives, 15 minutes later. "I wish I thought of this," I say while eating pizza and pulling up Netflix. "'Clueless' or 'Mean Girls'?"

"'Clueless', it's just better," she said.

"Okay," I say as Clueless begins to load. 

A couple minutes later we hear a knock at the door, "Come in," we yell at the same time. The door opens and we see Daveed with Oak standing behind him.

"We smelt pizza," Oak says.

"And we wanted some," Daveed finished. 

"Well, we have a couple slices left," I say, pointing to the last couple slices of the pizza. Oak and Daveed come in and join Emily and I on my bed and eat the last couple slices of pizza. "Shouldn't you guys not be eating in your costumes?" I ask since they were already fully in costumes.
