I squinted in the sunlight. My dad just dropped me off at some random store, or was it an outlet mall? Either way, he had work and he wanted me to meet some people me age. There were lots of people my age here, but I had my mind set on one thing: Survive til 3:15 and then I will be okay. But how could I do that? I just couldn't just sit here in the food court all day.
I was picking at my fries when a boy came up and sat down across from me. He was smiling and he had on some tee.
"Hi, I'm Ryan." He said in a thick accent.
"Ally." I said, dropping the fry or chip as the call them and looked around for a way to get out of here.
"Is it okay that I sit here?" He asks, the food court was kind of crowded.
"Yeah, I was just leaving." I answered and dashed out of there and into a book store.
I pulled out my phone and scrolled through my contacts. Most of them I couldn't call, like Alexis or Gina. I gave up and started to look at the YA section. I could really spend hours here. Picking up books and reading them and putting them back.
I was just about done with the fist self when someone walked right into this section. It was a guy. Maybe the one from the food court? I couldn't tell. But I picked up the book I was about too, I saw it and almost dropped it, it was so heavy. The guy looked at me, and so did the cashier, I turned red, but I bought it. Then went out into the mall.
3 o'clock came and went, soon I am standing in front of the food court where my dad told me to wait for him at. Fewer and fewer people were here now. My dads car up and I brushed the dirt off of my shorts and climb in. I only bought that book, a shirt, jeans and converse. He looked over at me and smiled.
"What did you get?" He asked me. I told him.
"Okay, now we are going over to Joy's house." He said turning up to a pretty white house.
"Why?" I asked him.
"Because we work together." He told me, but the look in his told me there was more. I didn't question it. I was hungry and I didn't want to get in trouble now. He might send me home, and I did not want that.
Okay, so what did you think?
