At the grocery store, she bought only the most important foods, because she wanted to save as much money as possible for shopping.
At the mall, Mindy bought a whole new wardrobe, and finally decided to get her ears pearced- which makes two holes, and her stomach pierced.
'My dad's going to hate me for this- wait. Whenever he is home, I'll wear a long shirt.' She thought to herself as she cringed in pain as the piercing gun shot a hole through her stomach. After that was done and over with, she went home to wait for her friends to get home from school. The next day, Mindy did go to school. And the day after. Soon the week passed, and her father returned from Japan.
"Hi daddy."
"Hey sweetie. How're you doing?" He asked, dragging his suitcase inside.
"Good. Where're you going next?"
"All over. Nonstop for about a month, so I'm taking you out of school and bringing you with me."
"Where are we going?"
"Out of the country first, then back in North America. We'll be in France, Australia and Cananda. And in the states, New York, Washington D.C., Oklahoma City, and L.A. After L.A., you'll be flown back to Oklahoma city to stay with a family member while I finish up some business in Atlanta for a while."
"How long's a while?"
"Two weeks maybe?"
"Oh. When are we leaving and how long will be gone?"
"We're leaving tomorrow at three and we'll be gone for roughly three months."
"That's almost all summer! We'll get back in time for what- the last half of August? Are you kidding me?!"
"No. And you have no choice about this trip. You're not spending the whole summer by yourself. I'm your father and you're coming with me. Now go pack."
"Fine." Mindy grumbled, giving up. She knew when she couldn't argue. She trudged up the stairs and began packing her clothes.
