Tic…tock…tic…tock…As the second hand moved by so very slowly I thought I was going to die like you see in movies then right before the second hand would signal our leave it froze there. Motionless like a spec of plankton drifting in the ocean unable to move but by the current of its surroundings.
The bell rang letting us leave this horrible prison they call "school", now it's off to Cassidy's locker then to my car where we will go to the mall to our wonderful jobs. Cassidy is my best friend you see, we do almost everything together, and just lately she got a boyfriend named Brian. Now, Brian, I would have to say is the best thing for her as of her to him. They go so well with each other like a missing puzzle piece to the great puzzle of life. He is a very sweet caring guy and he loves her to death, as does she.
Well we are almost to the mall, where we are closer to Hot Topic, our place of interest and our job. Brian works at the same mall just he works at Game Stop, the place for all gamers to test their skills. We all work the same hours so that we can all hang out in the mall after work all of us love Hot Topic so we are there a whole lot. Brian and I go to Game Stop after our outfit-shopping sprees so we can look at all the latest games, KH all the way.
Lately at the mall we have had some…how would you say it…misfortunes. Robbers all through out the night when no one is there. We all of coarse don't mind it because it never happened to our stores, not very major place I would have to say got hit just the minor ones like the sports store down the hall and the donut shop on the top floor. Just very weird places, but by law it's still not right so they are trying to work very hard on this.
I have also been seeing this one guy almost everywhere we go I see him almost all the time in Hot Topic around 4-5 then when Brian and I go to Game stop around 7, the smoothie stand in the middle of the mall around 8. By now we have all our homework done so we are just browsing the huge place of which we work at. I haven't got much details on the guy haven't really seen his face because I am always looking somewhere else. I say he is around my age, a bit taller then I am, shoulders narrower then Brian's and mine. Well anyways we are at the smoothie stand today and I don't see no sign of him once we are up there we order our stuff I always get a strawberry-banana fusion, Brian got a Berry Merry, and Cassidy got a plain vanilla.
We are going to go to the middle part of the mall where there is this lovely fountain there are little benches for were we are aloud to sit. While we were just sitting there Brian points out that there is a man walking toward us. He's very handsome, sandy blonde hair, beautiful brown eyes, broad shoulders, and seems like a nice guy.
Well, after I snap out of my analyzing thoughts he was already standing in front of me. I just stared, I was very nervous and shy, I wasn't really good at talking to people I didn't know. This felt like it was taking forever to me only was a few second when he spoke.
"Hey" was all he said and extended his arm and hand for me to shake, I thought this was very odd.
"Hi" was all I was able to say, still in my nervous/shy shock.
"My name is Ryan, I have seen you many times through out this mall and I thought I should talk to you," Ryan Began," I know it sounds stalker-ish but hey I thought it would be fun to hang out, we seem to like a lot of the same things like that smoothie you are drinking I would have to say is a strawberry-banana combination."
We all just sat there in disbelief, how could he have known that it…the colors can't even be seen let alone be told the difference.
"Um yea, it is, but how did you…" I started but trailed off in thought.
"Oh, well I heard you order it I was like three people behind you," he said while pointing at his smoothie, "so, um….would you like to hang out this weekend?"
This guy is from my school; I thought he looked a tad bit familiar. My social studies class to be more exact. So I thought to myself "oh what the hay."
"Yea sounds like a plan just us or do you mind if they come along? Cuz I think we all have to work?" I asked while pointing and looking at my two friends who are now just sitting there watching.
"I don't have to work," Brian said.
"Me either." Cassidy said.
"Darn you two, then I guess I am the only one working this weekend…oh well" I said with some what of a smile," so yea I guess I will be hanging out with you this Saturday."
"Cool, sounds like a plan, oh before I forget here's my number, call or txt me anytime" Ryan said with one of the most joyous of tones, and a brightly shiny smile, that put the glow of an angel to shame.
"See you then," I said while he started to walk off into the dark shadows tat the clouds above are starting to make. I turned around to find both Cassidy and Brian staring at me.
"What?" I asked in a bothersome tone.
"Oh nothing, nothing," they both cooed at once. After that I went home by myself Brian taking Cassidy home, once there I got out of the car locked it then went and unlocked my front door. From there I went straight to my room closed the door and laid on my bed. I dug out my phone, and just stared at it deciding whither or not to txt Ryan.
