A/N: just spent two hours rebuilding my deck. And it's cold outside for those of us in the northwest. Like, freezing. I mean, sixty some degrees. Not. Cool. Okay, I hate manual labor.

"Kevin, I've got this paranoia."
Her boyfriend blinked a couple of times and stared at the redhead. She was standing right outside this American Eagle store that Julie was heading into with Ben. He was tailing her and carrying a mountain of bags.
"What does this have to do with shopping?" he asked, watching as Ben and Julie disappeared in racks of clothes. He thought he could see Julie's ebony black hair picking up something pink and then putting it back for something green. If he saw anymore green besides his car and Ben's ridiculous color scheme…
Gwen sighed and rubbed her temples with her fingers. "Kevin, I can't go in there."
He was already carrying three of her bags while she carried a purse and a little bag with some earrings in it. And she had the nerve to be paranoid about a store now? "Why not?"
"Because everyone shops in there!" she insisted, staring at it as a long shudder ran down her spine.
"Yes, that explains why Ben and Julie just walked in there," Kevin said, pointing towards the store's opening and the bright lights and the faint music that drifted out. "And we're not following them… because?"
The redhead took his shoulders and shook him. "KEVIN, I AM PARANOID!"
He stared at her, onyx eyes wide. "You don't have to yell."
"I CAN'T GO IN THERE!"
"Still yelling, Gwen."
"YOU CAN'T MAKE ME GO IN THERE!"
"And I didn't even imply to that…"
"YOU CAN'T!"
"Gwen, did you have any caffeine?"
"NO!" She let go of his shoulders finally. Then Gwen pulled away from him and turned so that she was slightly facing away from him. "I'm just paranoid."
"We can stand outside, Gwen," said Kevin slowly, fixing the bags on his arm. "I'm totally fine with standing outside." What…the…heck…
The redhead folded her arms across her chest a little tighter. "I'm not going in there."
"Did I say you had to go in there?" countered Kevin, curious as to what was with this.
"No, but I know you were implying it."
Kevin rolled his eyes, getting even more confused and sick of just standing there. "So what are we gonna do?"
"You guys coming?" called Ben from inside the store, already being buried alive in clothes that Julie wanted him to tell her that she looked good in.
"I'M PARANOID!"
Ben's jade eyes turned to Kevin. "What's she yelling for?"
Kevin just stared at Ben, shook his head and mouthed, "Don't ask."
A/N: this is exactly my problem. I can't even look at American Eagle without freaking out! Leave a review! Thank you!
