Prince POV
"Hey Bella, you ready?" I hollered up the stairs to my cousin. She was always taking forever to be ready. Primping and fixing her hair. She never looked good enough. "Bella, come on!"
"Sorry, I had to change my shirt. The other one made me look sad." She said running down the stairs in her pink shirt and jeans.
"What? That doesn't make any sense.." I said handing her shoes and jacket to her in a hurry.
"Well yes it does. My eyes don—"
"Who cares, let's go!" I yell cutting her off.
"Calm down, I'm coming." She says following me to the door to the car.
We get in the car and drive to the mall. My favorite place to hang out. I go there every Saturday Plus there's always cute girls there. When we hop out of the car, I started walking toward the entrance. Suddenly, I realized Bella wasn't beside me. As I turned back to find her, I saw her checking her appearance in the mirror of my aunts car.
"Bella, come on!" I yell turning back around and walking toward the entrance.
"Sorry, I had to make sure nothing smeared!" She yells in a shuffle to catch up to me.
Faith POV
I've been waiting in the food court for my friend Nadia for over an hour. Where is she? I thought looking at both entrances into the food court. Since it'd taken her so long, and she STILL wasn't here, I decided to quickly go check my hair.
As I walk into the crowded isles toward the bathroom, I get a call from Nadia.
"Where are you!?" I exclaim "I've been waiting for you for over an hour!"
"I'm on my way calm down.."She laughs, "I just got a little…caught up at Rocs house.."
"I thought he was dating Ki'loni..?" I say in confusion, still trying to make my way to the bathroom.
"He is, we were just having a little fun." She giggles
"Nana, Kiki don't play around. She finds out you're foolin around behind her back, she'll beat your ass in a heart beat." I say rudely. They'd been fooling around for quite some time now. I'm just waiting for the day Nana gets her ass handed to her.
Suddenly, The call drops and so does my phone. I bent down to get it and a lady with a purse big enough to knock down an elephant hit my from behind. I tumbled forward and as I outstretched my hand to catch myself, it scraped across a nearby sign and I fell into a boy.
"Sorry!" I exclaimed from the floor.
"It's alright," He laughs helping me up. "Oh, you cut yourself a bit" He grabs my hand and examines the cut. I think you need to get this cleaned up, come with me." He puts his arm around my shoulder and starts to walk me to the bathrooms.
"Thanks, Oh I'm Faith by the way." I say meekly looking at the floor.
"I'm Jacob, but you can call me Prince." He says with a wide smile.
"Funny how your names Prince, you seem oh-so chivalrous," I say with a sarcastic tone. I was used to this kind of stuff. Boys like to make things all sweet in the beginning and then…
I was getting off track.
He blushes, "Thanks, you seem nice too."
We get to the bathrooms and he helps me to the entrance of the girls room.
"I would help you in there but I'd rather not go into the girls restroom" He laughs with a wink. Oh god, not this again…
"You don't have to wait, I got it." I say walking into the bathroom.
"But I want to…" He says looking away.
Prince POV
As I stand outside the girls restroom entrance, I remembered I had lost Bella as soon as we walked in. Coincidentally, after thinking that, I get a text from her that reads:
"Prince, come to Hot Topic. I have to show you something. Hurry! xP" Usually that means she wants to introduce me to some crazed girl, who's obsessed with me.
I reply to here sitting on the floor: "I helped a girl to the restroom when she fell. I'll be there when she's finished cleaning her hand up."
"No, come now! I'll tell my aunt if you don't and we'll have to leave. So either come here or we're going home." She texts back in a hurry. _"Whats taking Faith so long?"_ I thought to myself looking around as I stand up.
"Fine, I'll be there in 3 minutes." I say in the text back to her.
"Hey, can you tell the girl in the jean jacket the Prince said to meet her in the food court in 20 minutes? Please." I ask a tall, slender girl walking into the restroom.
"Yea, sure." She says.
I walk to Hot Topic only to find exactly what I had expected. A thirsty girl, all decked out in peace, Nirvana, Misfits and MB stuff…Typical fan.
"Prince this is Ja'cee, Ja'cee this is Prince!" Bella said in a wide grin.
"Oh, I already know who he is." Ja'cee says eying me while biting her lip.
"Hello," I say trying to be nice, "Nice to meet you Ja'cee"
She stares at me then says, pausing between her every word, "Oh, yes…It…Is…"
"Hehh, yeeeaah. Aaanyways, is this all you wanted? Because if so, then I'm going back to find Faith." I say turning around.
"No, wait. Look!" Bella says grabbing my arm, turning me back around. She shows me a mask with the Misfits skull on it.
"Oh, cool. Bye." I tease as I turn and walk away. I had to head to the food court to wait on Faith.
Faith POV
I'd finished cleaning my hand and wondered if Prince was still waiting out there. Then, a super pretty girl with light brown natural hair came in and told me Prince wanted me to meet him in the food court in 20 minutes. I was walking out there expecting him to find him standing in the same spot he was when I walked in. He was gone… "Where did he go?" I whispered to myself. I decided just to go to the food court to wait for him. That's where Nana and I were supposed to meet anyways so maybe I'd see her too.
I sit down at an empty table, then out of no where, someone puts me in a head lock from behind.
"Nana! Getcho ratchet ass off of me!" I yell playfully in my most ghetto voice, getting our of her grip. "What the hell took you so long? It's been half an hour since we got off the phone."
"I got stuck behind some lame ass grandma goin 10 miles an hour in town. It's not my fault, blame granny slow ass!" she says sitting down. "Damn! What happened to your hand?" She asks picking my hand up, examining the cut.
"Don't touch it! It still hurts." I growl snatching my hand back. "I scraped my hand on a sign tryna pick up my phone when it dropped earlier. Made me run into a boy too because of it." I tell her.
"Oh, wait, what? A boy? You haven't talked to a boy since your e…" She stopped herself before going into the details of my horrific last relationship. "Sorry, I forgot. Still a touchy subject."
I looked at her trying not to remember what happened with my last boyfriend; The one that had forced me to…I'm getting off topic.
"Yeaa, anyhow..He helped me to the bathroom, then had a girl tell me to meet him here. His name is Prince." I said trying to get back on track.
"Hoo, wait, hold up, Prince? His real name Jacob?" She asks curiously in a shuffle to get comfortable in these hard metal chairs.
"Yea, how did you know?" I question her.
"He's in the same band as Roc. Mindless Behavior. They're gettin pretty big now. They're about to make a video to their newest song Keep Her On The Low." She answers.
"Why wouldn't he have told me he's in a band though? Imma ask him when he gets here."
"If he gets here.." Nana mumbles under her breath.
Prince POV
The walk from Hot Topic to the food court was longer than I expected. Maybe just because I was thinking about Faith the whole time. I didn't even really see where I was going either. Just swiftly , yet slowly, making my way through the masses of people.
I was just so stuck on her beauty. Her light brown, almost hazel eyes, her long wavy hair, those soft looking lips. I just wanted to kiss her. Feel the softness of her freshly glossed, plump lips pressed against mine.
I had broken the focus on my thoughts as soon as I saw her sitting as a table. There was another girl with her this time though. I walked up and sat beside her.
Faith POV
After about 5 minutes of chatting with Nana, Prince came over and sat beside me at the table Nana and I were sitting at.
"Hey, sorry about leaving you earlier. My cousin wanted me to meet some fa—girl." He apologizes.
"Were you going to say fan?" I ask eagerly.
He scratches his head and answers, "Uhh…Yea. I'm in a group called Mindless Behavior.."
"Oh, okay then.." I say calmly.
"You're not phased by that?" He wonders.
"Nope, fine with me. I knew I had seen you somewhere before. You have a song called My Girl right?" I reply to him.
Suddenly, I get a call..
"Hello?" I answer
"Hey Faith You need to come home and watch Zavier while I'm out." My mom demands through the phone.
"But I just got here! You can't expect me to leave already..Besides, I'm here with some friends" I snap back at her.
"They can come over as long as you come home." She says in an annoyed tone.
"Fine, I'll be there in 20 minutes." I say in a huff
I look at Nana, then Prince, "Y'all wanna come over and chill at my house? I have to babysit my little brother."
"Yea, I guess." Nana agrees.
"Uh, sure. Let me call my aunt first." Prince answers, dialing his phone.
Prince is on the phone with his aunt for about 3 mins when he hangs up in a sigh. "Fine, I know….I know. Yes. Okay love you too. Bye."
"Can you go?" I ask in a rush.
"Yea, as long as you can take me home." He says standing up.
We walk toward the big glass exit doors. As we are walking through the doors, I see…Him. My ex boyfriend. He winks, which sends a chill of fear down my spine. He had been my first real boyfriend. Until one day…When he…Let's not get into all of that just yet.
