Here and Lost

Chapter 12

I walk out of the nail place and with $250 left I decide to get some new cloths. I wonder why none of the jobs I applied for have contacted me. I guess I'll have to be patient. I head to hot topic because...for real. I scan the walls of band shirts. I want them all. Looking up and down I choose a mayday parade one, since they help me through times like this. I get 2 others and some black skinnys like I don't already own enough black skinny jeans. I go to the counter to buy them. The cashier had dark red spikey hair and his lip pierced. I feel weird saying this but he was... Very attractive. He carefully looks at each of my items. He looks particularly long at the Bring Me The Horizon tee. He then looks up at me an a big smile appears on his face. I give him a very confused look, he laughs. "How lucky am I to find a very beautiful girl who also has the most wonderful taste in music all in the same day?" He says with a smirk.
"Yeah.. Aren't you lucky," I try saying in the most polite way I can make that sound. He just laughs and continues to check my cloths out. "Your total is $60.92" he says. I hand him my money and he hands me my bag. As I'm about to leave he interrupts, "miss, I don't think I got your name,or your status." He says looking more serious than his words.
"Oh, uh, my names Melody," I say quite nervously.
"Status?" He smirks.
"Well single. I guess,"
"May I ask for your number?"
"Oh. My number. Yeah I'll right it down for you," I smile. I'm not sure about this. There is no way I'll be able date him. What am I thinking I'm sure he only wants to be friends. I write my number on the back of my receipt. He grabs it from me.
"I'll call you, is tonight okay?"
"Oh, yeah I guess." I walk out of the store very confused. He. Me? Me looking my worst. Well at least I may have a friend to semi fill the empty gaps Alex left. I head to the frozen yogurt place when I feel my phone vibrate.
It's a text from the hot topic boy saying: hey! It's me Spencer. Ya know from hot topic c:
I reply almost too fast: Hey:)
I make my way to the end of the mall to the food court. It's already about 12:00. I order some pizza and get my yogurt while I'm waiting. I get my usual watermelon and pineapple as the topping. By the time I get my frozen yogurt perfected and payed for my pizza is ready. I pick it up and sit at a table alone. I check my phone but Spencer still hasn't replied.
I look over to see a very energetic girl with long black hair and a Panic At The Disco tee. Behind her is a very lanky boy with dark brown "scene" hair lugging a ton of obviously her shopping bags. She sits next to me.
She says, "hey! You looked lonely. I'm Savanna! And this is my boyfriend Taylor! What's your name? What are you doing here? Your very pretty!" She's definitely overwhelming me. Her boyfriend sits next to her and gives me a friendly smile.
"Oh, thanks so are you! My name is Melody. Nice to meet you," I try saying as politely as possible.
" Nice to meet you too! So did you drop out too? Or are you just not going to school today?"
They dropped out? They don't seem like the kind of people to do that.
"Oh no I'm just missing today. I need some time to myself. So why did you guys drop out?" I ask not even thinking of how rude it is.
"Well we only dropped out for one semester, we have a lot of work to do. I just found out I'm pregnant! Isn't that exciting!" She says very excitedly as she kisses her boyfriend.
"So we are both currently working two jobs to save up for our child. We want to make sure our kid has the best life possible."
I don't want to be rude so I smile and say, "Congrats, so your going to be going back next semester?"
"Yep but we go to a private school of course, we can't handle the people here in this school." They act almost like a married couple, but I'm starting to really like them. Savanna looks down at her phone. "Shit, our breaks over. Hey could I get your number? You seem cool." I hand her my number on the back of a napkin.
"Thank you!" She says hugging me tightly and runs of with her boyfriends hand in hers. She's a bit over the top but today turned out to be pretty good.
I finish my food and throw it in the trash. I just sit back down and look at my phone. Of course, Spencer is still at work so he can't text me. I decide to just sit here for awhile. I pop my ear buds in and suddenly don't feel in the mood for sad music. I listen to IDGAF by Breathe Carolina. I've always liked that song.
