Next morning

I woke up with a morning wood - no surprise, i wake up almost every morning with one of those. I headed out of bed, i washed my face and went downstairs to have breakfat with mom - it was nothing out of the ordinary, although she did mention that we were going to do something later in the day.

I went back to my room, watched videos and checked social media when i heard mom calling me from downstairs. I went down the stairs and found mom fully dressed like she was going out, she said "Andrew, we are going to the mall, we need to buy you clothes and school supplies so go change your clothes and tell me when you are ready" i nodded and went back to my room to change clothes - i chose a casual outfit, a simple shirt with a light hoodie and some jeans to go with it, since it was the last week of April it was still Spring, which meant that it was sunny but not too hot, i still used hoodies on sunny days because i loved wearing them, the weather didn't bother me as much so i was cool wearing jackets and hoodies even on hot summer days.

Now that i think about it... it was Spring, i had to start college or school next week, first week of May i thought, what confused me the most was that i had to finish senior year early to be able to move out to this city - that happened in March, i was already started college a month and a half later. _Don't ask me, but it somehow works like that i _said to myself.

I put on my clothes, went to the bathroom to comb my hair and freshen up - at the end of the day i was going to the mall so i had to look good if i wanted to meet people. When i was done i went downstairs and saw that mom's bedroom door was open. Shortly after she came out of her bedroom, ready to go - she had put on some makeup that highlighted her beauty, i knew she was beautiful but she also looked really young, like she was in her mid-twenties. Of course now all of the men will try to date her or hookup with her and i don't blame them.

She looked at me dressed casual but like i was going to a party or something and not the mall, she commented on my looks by saying

"It looks like you really got ready... watch put for all of the girls that might come to chase you" she chuckled a little before adding

"I'm joking honey... you look great!" i received the compliment and returned it by saying

"Thanks mom, you look good too, maybe you are trying to much... i think all of that makeup is unnecessary, you look great all of the time... even when you are in home with just pajamas and a messy hair" she seemed to overwhelmed with my comment and place her hand on her chest as if my comment touched her heart.

"You are so sweet, my son... you could try to use that to get girls later" - i was getting bored of her always saying stuff about me and girls and it showed. She smiled and then opened the door to go out to the city, i followed her, she turned around, popped her head through the entrance and said "Sweetie... Andrew and i are going to the mall to buy him some school supplies, we will return late so stay safe!" Annie didn't seem to reply so mom closed the door and we headed out to the mall.

As we were making our way to the mall i showed mom some of the places i got to explore - we went through the main avenue at the coast, hoping that she wouldn't notice all of the brothels and sex shops that were in that area, we crossed the plaza with Jordan Pimpson's statue and from there we took a cab to go to the mall.
