The Boy Band Trap

August 5th. Afternoon.

θ Mash θ

I see her waving like a crazy person. I smile to myself. I take out my phone.

Okay I see you stop waving. You look like weirdos. Sent at 12:18

"Come on guys this way." I walk towards her. Her brown hair is up.

I've been so excited to see her ever since a month ago when I found out where she lived. She seems really down to earth over text sometimes. I just hope she's not crazy.

Her best friend's eyes go wide as she sees us.

"Hey Clara." She spins around in her chair. Her hair swings behind her. Having it back makes her blue eyes beautiful. She wears some really nice looking clothes.

I hope she didn't go all out becuase of me.

"I hope you don't mind me bringing the boys." She stares at the group behind me.

"Hey Clara." They all say. She stares at Kevin squeezing her eye brows together

"This is Kevin. He went to school with us." I point to Kevin. He waves at Clara and she smiles back. He smiles back. I stare at him and he drops his hand.

"Oh, this is my best friend Kayla." She says noticing the silence. She points at Kayla.

"Hi Kayla." We all say. Kayla smiles wide. She's clearly excited, unlike Clara. Clara seems much calmer than I expected.

"And no I don't mind." She smiles sweetly at me.

"So where are we going first?" Says T- Bone. He's hyper. He rocks on his heels. He's always cautious about being in public.

"How about the video store. Its right over there." Jake points at the store in front of us.

"Sure why not." Kayla chimes in. She gets off her chair and waits for Clara to loop her arm with hers.

Kayla whispers some thing in Clara's ear. Clara looks at her and smiles wide. They soon unlink. Kayla keeps up with the boys, while Clara and I hang back. I think of something to say, but she breaks the silence first.

"You know it a great seeing the person I've been talking to for the past six months in person. It's just really cool."

"Yeah, I'm glad I we had nothing to do. You're much calmer for a girl who loves our band."

"Well I know you just want to be out of the spotlight sometimes. It has it a perks, but they're not all great."

"Yeah. You don't know how many times I've spent avoiding popular places. I just want to walk down the road without being tackled please." She laughs at my remark. I roll my eyes. We reach the entrance of the store. I open the door and she walks in, her flowery smelling hair wipes past me.

"Thank you." She says with a smile.

"Well you know chivalry isn't all dead." I walk in behind her. She walks over to the sifi section.

I stay in the front looking at some plush toys and whatever.

I see she moved to the horror section. I look back at the prize packs. I move over to the CD racks. I look back over at Clara. Kendial is lurking behind her.

What is he doing? Clara is not his type. His type is one night stand models falling over him. I bet he's playing a joke. She is in the horror section.

I stand behind a rack of toys to conceal myself as best as possible. Kendial leans over her shoulder. I can see that she has tensed up. He says something to her. He turns her around to face her. She looks like she's in shock. He grabs her chin. She blinks and snaps out of whatever it was. I stay hidden behind some poster thing. She looks furious and scared.
