There he was. He was walking right in front of me, his back turned away. He had always kind of been a loner. Sure he had friends but he wasn't popular and didn't talk much. The few times Id seen him away from school he wore all black otherwise he was in our school uniform. His dark hair always covered his eyes, and his skin was a tan olive tone.
I had always found him interesting.
The way he walked- with confidence but hunching over with his hands in his pockets. His voice that I only heard when a teacher occasionally called on him. His woodsy scent. He was intriguing.
His name was Nick but they called him Fang.
"MAX", I noticed my best friend in the whole world, Nudge, had called my name several times.
"WHAT?!" I screamed back at her. We were walking outside my private catholic school, where I was in 8th grade with Monica and Fang and some of my other friends. Just then, Iggy jogged up to us and I couldn't help but smile. Iggy was tall and lanky giving him an uncoordinated look. He had strawberry blonde hair and big blue eyes that made his face look childish and care free. He was so easy going and caring, I don't think he had a single enemy in the world.
"Hey girls, wanna head over to the mall and get some food?" he asked.
"Sure," we replied in unison.
The mall was where most of the 8th graders from my school go to hang out after school. We head over there on foot, the hot Arizona sun beating down on our poor uniformed bodies. Our uniforms S-U-C-K. They are plaid blue skirts with a white button up shirt and black tie; the guys have to wear navy blue pants.
When we get to the mall we see our friends Sam, Dylan, Angel, Gazzy, Lily and Kyle in the food court and head over.
Different "hey's" come from each member of our little group as we sit down.
And the Nudge rant began.
"So today I was sittin in class right? Then suddenly Mrs. Moberly gets up and runs to the bathroom outside class and I heard her throw up! She's so skinny and tall I bet she has that disease disorder thing where you throw up all the time and-"
"Wait a second," Kyle interrupted, "Mrs.M is pregnant and she explained to us at the beginning of class that she wasn't feeling too good."
"Oh," was all she said.
"Way to get the story right Nudge!" I began, "I remember once you were telling me how you were getting your nails done and sudden-"I stopped.
Everyone turned to look why I had stopped talking and we all saw Fang walk into the food court. Now you may think ok this guy walked into a food court of a public mall. So what? I'll explain what. Nick Ride never hangs out in public places. The only place I have EVER seen him in other than school in the whole 4 years of life that I've known him, is the park and the music store where he works. And its creepy cuz I've never even seen his family or where he lives. He's a mystery. A mystery who just walked by our table.
"Whoah…what is Nick doing at the mall?" Sam just blurted out; he's never been a subtle person. All our hands shot out to smack his brown shaggy head. We all glanced over to make sure Nick hadn't heard.
"It's a public place he can do whatever he wants", I said.
"It's true. Nick has to grow out of his clothes sometime I mean he's like Iggy's height! Where else is he gonna go get clothes?" Nudge added.
"I mean it's just weird. Have you guys ever seen Nick anywhere? I've never even seen his family at a restaurant or anywhere. I've never even seen his family! Have any of you?" Sam explained.
Everyone said no except me, I was too distracted watching Fang walk away. It was kind of weird that he was here. By some strange impulse I decided I wanted to follow him.
"Hey guys I just remembered my mom wanted me to pick something up for her, I think I'll go get it." I said already getting up. These people knew me too well though. I could see they all new this probably wasn't true but they knew me well enough not to ask.
"Hmmm…alright well hurry back." Iggy mumbled.
I ran off to go catch up with Nick. I followed him from a distance until I saw him enter a sports store. It was one of those HUGE ones that sell anything for sports that you could ever possibly need. I didn't want to go in so I stood around the corner of the store, watching the door. He came out a while later with a bag in his hand and started exiting the mall, but they way that nobody ever goes. I still followed him though, against my better judgment. I tried to make each step of my Converse-clad feet as quiet as possible. The exit went out to an alley that was far away from the parking lot or any kind of other store or building. I crouched down behind a trash can while he unwrapped a box he had in his bag. I jumped when I saw him pull out a gun. Not a huge rifle thing or anything impressive just a normal gun (I'm not really a gun expert :/)
He started to put the bullets and all the gun readying stuff. (Again I'm no expert)
He checked it over, stood up and pointed it at himself.
