Chapter 4
Buttercup lazily trailed her hand along the shelves of various sporting equipment, mentally berating herself over being too tired to stop herself getting zapped by the ray gun. She generally didn't think she'd need much for her new bedroom – it wasn't like she had a tone of make-up or clothing that Bubbles or Blossom will probably end up buying. She stopped her process of thinking when an object caught her eye.
'A Baseball mitt!' she thought 'I definitely need a new one of those!' But as she reached out to take it her hand brushed upon another's. She looked up to meet forest green eyes staring amusedly down at her. They belonged to a boy of about her age ('at least, my new age' she thought tiredly) with dark ebony hair, he looked quite well built too.
"Like what you see?" he asked arrogantly.
"Hardly" she sneered, beginning to get infuriated.
"What's a weak girl like you doing in a store like this?" he taunted. 'Weak?! I'll show him weak!' Buttercup thought angrily.
"I'm surprised a moron like you could even find the mall, let alone this store" she replied airily.
The stranger narrowed his eyes "Why you infuriating!-"
"Infuriating? Don't hurt yourself there." Buttercup condescendingly interrupted. A flicker of something flashed through the boy's eyes before he replied with a smirk
"Catty are we? Well I like that in my girls" Buttercup involuntarily blushed at the statement.
"Firstly, I wasn't being catty I was telling the truth. Secondly, I am nobody's girl." She bit out through her blush.
"By that blush on your face, I'd say the latter probably wasn't as true as you'd want to believe" the boy replied with wink, before walking out the store.
'Ughh! If I ever see him again he'll regret ever speaking to me in the first place! I hate him!' she screamed in her mind. 'He was kinda cute though' a voice said in the back of her mind. Buttercup continued to walk out the store, still blushing and said nothing more.
…until she realized she'd walked to the other side of the mall without buying the baseball mitt. She then screamed in anger, causing passers by to jump. After her outburst she could've sworn that she heard that guy laughing at her somewhere.
- Wahh! I am sooo sorry I haven't updated this in like, half a year! If it wasn't for one reviewer (you know who you are!) who kept pushing me to write a chapter, you wouldn't be reading this now! I absolutely swear I'll try to update more often! By the way, I'm sorry this chapter was so short – it's a little rushed! -
