Another chapter again, so enjoy

Dyson's POV

The school day was finally over, ended with a cliffhanger. I was thinking what my art teacher said about my drawing being beautiful because I mostly drew gore, violence and horror stuffs and of course everyone disliked my drawing style. As I walked in the parking lot, someone was calling me and so I turned around to see April once again as she approached me.

"What do you think about school today?" She kindly asked as she warpped her arms around my left arm?!

"Well, I gotta say it's kinda normal to me" As I replied, she leaned on my shoulder and made me blushed a little.

"I'm glad to hear that from the guy who drew me" Wait, did she just say that I drew her? So wait, she did look at my drawing while I wasn't looking?! Just the thought of it wanna made me blushed even more. Wait, why I blushed about little thing she had done to me anyway? I wasn't supposed to act like that back when I was in London. As we continued walking to find our parking space while she was still leaning on my shoulder, we found the parking space with our two bikes there.

"Well we're here and can you let go of my arm, please?" I gently asked her as she looked at me while she was blushing and let go of my arm.

"Well this is awkward" She scratched her head and still blushed but she looked kinda cute when she blushed like that.

"You look kinda cute when you blush, Red" WTF! Why I said that aloud to her and why I called her Red?! She looked confused and raised her eyebrow before she could ask, a honking noise caught in her ear as she turned around and groaned.

"What's the matter?" I asked her while I was looking at the Ferrari and 'Brady' was driving it. Even his name made me want to puch him.

"It's Brady and he asked me to go to the mall with me during lunch break" She angrily answered but then she happily smiled as if she'd had an idea.

"Hey, why don't you come to the mall with me then you and I can have fun at it" I smiled at her plan but then raised an eyebrow while she confusingly looked at me.

"What will you do with Brady?" I asked while she put on her thinking face.

"I will think of it when I got there. Anyway, I'll see you later at the mall" As she started her scooter and rode off, I was standing there thinking where could it be until a Ford Mustang car stopped near me.

"Are you going somewhere, Dyson?" The car window opened and revealed Troy was driving it. I stupidly forgot that Troy apologized for nearly running over me with his Ford Mustang car.

"I gotta go home and…" I stopped talking to realize that April would meet me at the mall. Wait, Troy had been living here more than I had so I would ask him where the mall was and hanged out with April-as a friend.

"Go home and what?" Troy spoke up to snap me back to reality.

"Forget about that. Do you know where the mall is?" I quickly asked him as he stratched his head in confusion.

"Sure, I know where the mall is and I can take you there" He answered as I took her out of the parking space and started the engine.

"But I have to ask, Dyson. Why do you go there for?" He suddenly asked me that question so if i had said that I hanged out with April, he would have given a long angry speech about not hanging out with her again. So in order to avoid that, I simply lied to him.

"Meet a friend of mine from London" He smiled and started his car.

"Okay then, follow me" As he drove out first, I followed behind him to the mall

-At the Mall-

We finally made it to the mall and it just took us 5 minutes to get there with Troy's clever shortcut. And I got to say the mall was huge compared to mine back in London. As I was staring at the mall, Troy said goodbye and left. I rode to parking lot and entered the mall to wait for April so that we could hang out. The inside of the mall was just as big as outside and provided with everything you needed from clothes, video games, movies, food, etc. I decided to stay at a coffee shop nearby to wait her. As I was waiting for her, drinking my coffee-and damn it was so good-and sitting on the bench, someone tapped on my shoulder and when I turned
around to see her again.

"Fancy meeting you here, Dyson" She kindly said as I got up from the bench.

"So you manage to ditch Brady, eh?" I jokingly asked her as she chuckled in joy.

"Not exactly, I was intended to tell him that I went to the bathroom but he didn't want me to interrupt his 'bro talk' and so I just simply walked away and met you. Not as I originally planned but it still worthed it" After she had done explaining, I smiled at her as she smiled back at me and we looked at each other.

"Where do you want to go first?" She spoke up to break the silent as I shook my head to snap back to reality answered her question.

"Well, the truth is that I haven't gone to a mall since I was ten years old" She giggled and held my hand.

"Don't worry. I'll show you around the place" I happily smiled at her and held her hand tighter.

"So let's see here, where can we go first? Oh I know, how about going to the arcade first, I heard there is a new arcade game there, what do think?" I nodded and then we both headed to the arcade.

I had to tell you one thing about this place in one word: AWESOME! When we first at the arcade, I was having so much there. We played ton of games like Street Fighters, Pac-Man, King of Fighters, etc. After that, we went to the supermarket and bought a lot of things but of course I had to steal the shopping cart and rode it like a surfer because-remember-I was a punk. Unfortunately, I was caught by the mall security but April was there in time to save my butt and gave a hard punch right at my shoulder but I deserved it. We went to my favorite shop Victoria's Secret but of course seeing woman's underwear and bra just to make me drool over place. But April didn't like the way I gazing at them, she smacked me at the side of my head and then proceeded walking as I held my head. After walking for so long, we stopped at this smoothy joint to rest our feet.

"Thanks god, finally a place where I could rest my feet" I spoke up and sighed in relief as April came back with smoothies on both of her hands.

"Here's a banana smoothy for you and strawberry for me" As she handed out, I quickly took a sip of the smoothy through the straw and it tasted good for I knew.

"So what do you think about the mall?" She asked while taking a sip of her smoothy. Really?! That was all she wanted to ask me?! Of course I knew the answer very well but before I could answer, I saw one guy that I truly didn't want to be here: Chris McLean.

My eyes widened as I hid beneath the table and I wasn't the only one. April was also hiding with her eyes widened as I was as I whispered to her.

"Hey, why are you hiding under the table for?"

"Because of Blainley, what's about you?" She also whispered to me and for all I knew I didn't know who Blainley was.

"Chris McLean" As I quietly replied, I heard sudden footsteps came closer as we both breathed heavily and my heart wanted to exit out my body.

"There you are, you raven-haired teddy bear McLean" Wait, teddy bear McLean?!

"And you too, my blainerific Barbie doll Blainley" Barbie doll Blainley?! Seriously, I could hurl up if I could but then again I couldn't

"I want to hurl right now if I can" April spoke up loudly as I quickly covered her mouth so that they couldn't listen to us but who would blame her. After few minutes of silence, I decided to check out as she held my hand tightly. I poked my head to see all too familiar trouser and looked high to see both McLean and Blainley-I had to guess-had their back at us. I returned to see April still worried about them because if they had known us were here, we would have been suffered from their bragging. I patted her shoulder and whispered to her.

"Don't worry, I will get us out the here in no time" She smiled at me with relief.

"So, how are we going to get out of here?" She quietly asked while I was thinking of the plans but unfortunately I could think of one only solution.

"It looks like we're going to crawl our way out of this slowly" I gulped at the last part as she did the same.

"What if it doesn't work?" She nervously asked knowing that they could turn back at any time spotted us.

"Then we'll make a run for the exit if we don't run into 'Brady'" She gulped for the second time knowing that Brady was also here too if we had been running senselessly.

"Are you ready?" I asked her while holding her hand tighter than I could as she nervously nodded and then we exited out the table. As we were crawling slowly, we could hear them kissing each other and I pretty sured that they were going to make out. I turned around to see April was still crawling right behind us as I smiled at her.

"We're going to make it out of here, alive and well" She happily smiled but then her eyes widened in fear but for what?

"Dyson, Look out!" She quietly shouted as I turned and hit the fence hard on my face as I groaned. I turned around to see April was standing with her eyes widened even more and pointing at the flower pot twirling as if it was about to fall down and break got us caught as i cringed in fear. I quickly stood up and held the pot tighly as it stopped twirling. We both sighed in relief and turned back to see they were still making out.

"Look like we are going to tip-toe our way out of this. Are you with me?" She quickly nodded as we tip-toed quietly until they were out of our sight.

"Man that's intense. I can feel my heart burst out of my chest right now" I spoke up still breathing heavily with my both hand on the knees as we managed to get out of that situation alive without getting caught.

"Same here too, how about we go home and pretend we didn't see them making out?" She asked while still breathing heavily with her one hand on the knee and the other on the wall.

"Agree, lets get out of here then" After regaining our breath, we both found our way out of the mall and into the parking lot. At the parking lot, we took our bike and scooter outside and before we went home, April spoke up.

"Well, this is goodbye then. I will see you tomorrow" I could see the sad expression on her face as she didn't want to leave me just yet.

"We are friend, aren't we? Tomorrow, we can go to the mall and do that again. Or maybe we'll stay and watch them making out if you want to" I mischieviously asked her as she pulled out a devilish smirk on her face.

"Maybe we can do sometime when Brady is not around. Anyway, I'll see you tomorrow then" She rode off and waved goodbye at me as I waved back and rode back to my home.

-At Uncle's House-

I arrived at my uncle's house waiting to hear his long speech about going home late. After taking Harley inside the garage, I walked in to see the house was completely empty with no uncle in sight. I looked around the room and stopped to see a note on the table in the kitchen. I picked it up and read.

Dear Dyson,

If you are reading this then you know that I had already gone. I got a phone call from this big company in New York, they offerd me a job with salary that would be enough to keep me alive and so I moved in immediately after I accepted the offer.

I'm sorry for mistreating you the last two weeks. I should have been a better uncle than your father thought of me but I knew I would fail eventually. The problem here is not I am too old to take care of you but the real problem is the way you behave. Your mom told me that you had been like this ever since the incident. But I don't want to bring it up so you have to do it on your own.

I will visit you eventually if I have time to check on you.

Sincerely,

Your Uncle

Did I hit my head that hard or was I hearing this wrong? No matter, I went upstair to take a shower and got myself a dinner by ordering a pizza. After eating the pizza, I went to my bedroom and went to sleep but what he said in the note had haunted my mind to the point that I couldn't sleep at all. Was it true that the past finally caught up to me? But I shook my head to get rid of those thoughts again and finally went to sleep.
