Ariana's POV:
Since Alexa's staying here for a whole month, I decided to take her out for Starbucks!! I'm still in shock that mom and Frankie brought Alexa here, I wasn't expecting that at all, I still want One Direction though, but you know that's okay because I have my best friend here with me.
It was a quarter after 10, and I woke up feeling wide awake. I got out of bed and walked to the guest room to check on Alexa. Surprisingly, she was already awake.
"Good Morning!" I said happily.
"Good Morning!" She said.
"You wanna go get Starbucks? I'm craving for a vanilla bean frappe, I also want a donut.." I said while my stomach growled.
"Yeah, that sounds really good right now."
"Okay, lets go get ready."
I ran to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. As my curling iron was heating up, I quickly changed into a grey hoodie with shorts and black vans. I curled my hair as fast as I could and put my hair into a half up- half down.
I walked out of the bathroom finding Alexa wearing a boxy black tee with light-washed denim shorts and white converse. We walked down the stairs, out of the door, into my car.
When we got there, Alexa asked me more questions about the boys. I told her that I really liked all three of them and that I might have a little soft spot for one of the boys, but I wasn't going to tell her who. I know she's my best friend and all, but I just don't want to tell her at the moment. Putting that aside, I ordered my vanilla bean frappe and donut, and boy was it delicious. Alexa got her usual, the white chocolate mocha. As we left Starbucks with our drinks, Alexa asked me if I wanted to go to the mall. We haven't been to the mall together for a while, so why not!

Me and Alexa went into Forever 21, they were having a sale so I literally grabbed everything. And I mean everything. Me and Alexa even got matching outfits! We love shopping together, I really missed having her around. We later went into TopShop and I got a lot of circle skirts and dresses, TopShop probably has the most cutest clothes out there, so I made a lot of damage. If I had all the money in the world to buy clothes, I would probably buy literally every single piece of clothing at TopShop.
I honestly can't tell Frankie and mom how thankful I am for both of them, they love me dearly, and both care so much about me, I wouldn't know what I'd do without them. To think they bought Alexa here all for me makes me realize how much they love and adore me, I don't know what I'd do without these wonderful people in my life, they keep me grounded and I feel so grateful to have them.
- Home -
We just got home and quickly went into my room. Alexa helped me put all the clothes I bought into the drawers and closet.
"So, what do you want to do now?" I asked her.
"I don't know, what do you want to do?" She asked.
"Want to watch a movie?" I asked.
"Sure, what movie?" She asked.
"Guess." I said.
"13 Going on 30?" She said.
"You know me so well." I said smling.
"Hehe. I'm your bestfriend obviously I would know. Also, because we watch it almost every single time." She said laughing.
"Yup." I said laughing and heading downstairs.
- Downstairs -
I walked to the shelf near the T.V. and looked for "13 Going On 30" I found it in between "Harry Potter" and " Breakfast at Tiffany's." I took out the DVD and inserted it into the DVD player. During the movie I got a text from Justin.

TEXT MESSAGES:
Justin: Hi, Ariana. Just wanted to see how you're doing.
Ariana: Hi, Justin. I'm doing swell. My bestie from Florida came to visit me. :)
Justin: Cool, glad to see your doing swell.
Ariana: Haha thanks.
Justin: So, would you like to hangout tomorrow? ;)
Ariana: Sure, would it be okay if my bestie came?
Justin: Sure.
Ariana: Kk. TTYL. :)
Justin: Ok.
END OF TEXT MESSAGES.
I just realized Alexa was reading the texts over my shoulder which scared me to death. She like popped out of no where.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed.
"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA." She laughed.
"Not funny. You scared me to death." I said fake crying.
"Sorry Ari." She said bending over trying to look at me.
"SORRY ARI!! FORGIVE ME." She said.
- Silence -
"AHHHHH!!!" I screamed scaring Alexa.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" She screamed, scared.
"HAHAHAHA. GOTCHA." I said.
"HAHAHA." She said smiling.
"So, Alexa wanna go hangout with Justin tomorrow?" I asked.
"Sure." She said.
We finished watching the movie and watched another one. This time we watched "Mean Girls" one of Alexa's favourites. We even microwaved popcorn this time. We practically didn't even watch the movie since we were talking the whole time. Hehe.

Just as she started trying to figure out what she wanted to do with the rest of her life, she got an invitation.

Almost immediately, Dyna realized that she wasn’t quite up to the same level as many of her peers. Surrounded by clairvoyants and mind readers displaying obvious abilities made her own lack of ability all the more apparent. That was, up until the researchers and scientists of the facility realized that there was a bit more to Dyna Graves than met the eye.
