"Hurry up, Mel. Everybody else is waiting for us." Eric whined to Melissa.
"Okay okay, Eric. Hold on." Melissa grabbed her backpack from the desk."Thanks for waiting." She said humorusly throwing her bag on her shoulders.
" Yeah yeah" Eric answers quickly. " Lets go"
The teacher ,Ms.Larson, says, "Im also looking forward to see your report Eric." "Yeah, great" Eric says trying to leave.
"Im so glad your going to the store to buy books for reports. Im so glad to see my students trying to do work. I guess everybody is happy with this book report huh?
Eric answers truthfully."Nobody wants to do your report.Were only going to the mall to hang out"
"Oh" The teacher says surprised.That was a good thing everybody liked about Eric. He would say things everybody thought but never were willing to say."Then goodbye kids"
They both run to find the rest of the group, including Lex. They were gonna be chilling at the mall all day, thanks to Taylor. Eric and Melissa ran two blocks after school. Melissa was staying later than the others so she could turn something in to the teacher. But nobody wanted to wait. Eric decided to wait for her but he never knew she'd take so long.
They met up with the other kids in front of the mall.
"Hey everybody, sorry we're late." Melissa said.
Eric added" Yeah, its Melissa's fault." Everybody laughed.
For a while they went to the shops looking around. The guys
being bored to death as the girls tried on every cute outfit they liked.
Every shoe. Buying many things. They also stopped by for food in the
food court. They looked around. HMMMMM...what to eat? McMurder?
NO...they went to starbucks and jamba juice and sees candies and
where ever else sold yummy things. It was about 10pm. Melissa needed
to buy a book for her report. They all went with her. It was a very very
big mall. It took them about 30minutes to walk over to the store.
When they got there they could hear people whispering about the mall
closing soon. But they didn't think anything of it.
They walked into the book store. Forcing Eric and Taylor to go
inside too. They didn't want to. It was like a library but worse. You had
to buy these books. YUCK they thought. Daley pushed them in.
Melissa walked over to the shelves and looked for her books. She also
went to pay for them. Jackson and Nathan stood looking at posters for
sale. Lex went into the science section. Daley went to look at
magazines.Taylor almost wanted to look through the magazines.
But that meant she had to get up, and walk through the books.
GROSS, so she sat down with Eric on a nice couch by the
entrance waiting to get out. They talked about how stupid books were.
Daley snickered.
It was getting late. Jackson and Nathan saw a nice poster that they
wanted to show everybody. It was a humerous poster. Everybody
loves humerous posters! They all walked to the poster, even Eric and
Taylor! Melissa finished paying for the book. They all went by the
window on their way out. But nobody else was around. ODD.
"Maybe its closed" Daley says.
"Thanks to Melissa, we'll probably be trapped here all night. " Eric adds.
"Be quiet" Melissa says and she laughs.
"Maybe we should ask the person in the store." Daley suggested.
They agree and walk over to the counter."Hello? Excuse me"
Nobody answered. The person had left. "Thats weird, nobody
is around." They try to leave the store when they hear a loud noise.
It was the book store being closed. The door was not open.
They panicked banging doors and yelling for help. Nothing.
They were trapped!
"Once again, I blame you Melissa." Eric says. Everybody laughs.
Including Mel."So what do we do now"
"We stay the night" Answers Jackson. They all give him a worried look.
Just then the lights turn off. Everybody screams.Then Eric switches on
the lights. They all see that nobody is around but them.
"Dang, we really are gonna stay the night."Taylor shouts.
Taylor was right. They were gonna stay the night.
