Oh! That's Why Your So Familiar!

Hey Guys! So this is my first story and i was wondering if i should keep writing and it and i would love to know what you guys think! Thanks if you read this!

“Did you know that tonight is supposed to be the start of the end of the world?” Ray said.

I rolled my eyes. “I can’t even believe people would think that is true.” I said. “It’s not like this is the first time either. They thought the world was going to end in 2000 also.” Ray shrugged. I guess she was just trying to make conversation, considering we were kind of concentrating on trying to find clothes, it was quiet.

We were going to this concert tonight and we kind of needed something to wear, like some jeans and a nice tank top, maybe some heels to go with, but nothing extravagant, since we really can’t afford expensive anything. “I’m going to be right back.” I told Ray, I spotted some jewelry and wanted to go check it out, rings are my kryptonite.

I was a little busy looking at the rings and trying them on that I kind of let a yelp out when someone pushed me into the rack, really hard. I turned around to see if I could get a look at who did it. When I turned around I saw this guy that looked really hot, he had blonde hair that was kind of sticking up, with hazel eyes and a nose ring; he looked like he worked out a lot. He was standing in front of these guys that looked like they were laughing at something hysterical. Blondie looked kind of embarrassed.

“I’m sorry, are you ok? I didn’t mean to crash into you like that.” He said, he looked kind of familiar but I couldn’t place it. “Yeah I’m fine. Thank you.” I said, starting to get that nervous twist in my stomach I got whenever a guy was around, it’s sad really. My lips started to twitch and I can feel that shaking smile start to form on my face. So I turned and walked away. I must have looked like an idiot. I’m so close to Ray I just need to go past a little more… but a hand catches my arm.

 “Hey I know this is weird and all considering I don’t really know you, but I was wondering, if you would like to, maybe you would want to hang out sometime this weekend. Or even tonight.” He looks kind of nervous, like he’s unsure about what I’ll say. I pretend to think, so I don’t look to desperate, because to be honest this is the first time someone asked me, not the other way around. I decide that I should give him my answer since he looks kind of scared. I try my best not to smile too much.

“Sure, why not.” I said and I can see the relief start to seep into his expression. The way his lips slowly move into a huge grin is too much for me to handle right now, I’m feeling a little light headed from all the adrenaline, and the way my heart is pounding does not help.

“All right. Um, my name is Zack.” He says and I can see his eyes gleam like he is really excited for something. “Emma.” I say and offer to shake his hand; I’m surprised at the firm softness of his hand and the warmth coming from him. My face hurts from smiling to hard.

After what seems like forever, I finally find the use of my body and take my hand back. “Can I have your phone number?” Zack asked. “Yeah, um, why don’t we just exchange our phones.” I say and then I start to search my pockets for my phone, when I look up with my phone in hand, I see he already has his out and ready to switch.

 I catch something behind his back so my eyes focus and I see the same guys laughing only now not so much, they kept making subtle glances in our direction. When we switch I “Accidently” brushed my hand against his, and I might have seen a small smile on his face form, but he was staring intently at my phone, looking down, so it could have been my imagination. It was a little hard navigating through his phone but I got it. When I was done I looked up to give his phone back and saw him staring at me his hands at his side, a little smile on his face.

 “Ha, here yeah go.” I said, feeling my cheeks start to get a little warm. His smile was gentle and I kind of wanted to reach up and trace his lips. It’s not creepy… is it? And when he walks away I can still feel his hands warmth on my skin.

I can’t help but notice that the people he walked up to are still laughing a bit and patting him on his back but also that they look familiar; I wonder why I can’t remember where I have seen them from.

“Who was that you were talking to?” Ray asked. I shrugged, “Some guy who kind of stumbled into me. I think that he is trying to apologize ‘cuz he asked to hang out tonight.” I heard I a snort so I turned around and saw Ray with a smirk on her face. “Or he could just think you were hot and ran into you on purpose.”

“I am not hot,” I said a little defensively “plus he was embarrassed that he ran into me, I don’t think it was on purpose, now are you done? I think I’m ready to look at another store.” The selections here were kind of more for sluts than anything I would wear casually. Ray grumbled, I’m not sure why though.  

After what seemed like forever we finally found what we were looking for and decided to go get some lunch at this Chinese restraint.

 “You know you never told me who is going to be playing at the concert.” I said. I know it sounds silly but I wasn’t doing anything and I needed to get out of the house.

“Well, I don’t know all of the bands but I know that All Time Low, We The Kings, and A Rocket To the Moon.” Hmm, well that’s not so bad, those were bands I listen to most of the time anyways.

“Ok.. is there like a flyer or some paper that shows a list of the bands?” I asked, wanting to get more of a taste of what was going to be on. Ray started to go through her purse/bag, and then I felt my butt start to vibrate, signaling I have a txt.

So, um, I’m doing something tonight, so our date is going to be a little late- Zack.

I started to grin, it’s cute that he would at least say something, instead of just leave me hanging.

You know, we can always just reschedule if it’s too much- Emma.

I was getting a little scared, what if he changed his mind? So, I was checking my phone every few seconds.

“Here you go.” I heard Ray say, and about a second later a piece of paper was in my face.

“Thanks.” I said, trying to get a hold of the paper while my stomach started to hurt, looking at my phone again.

The bands were going to be a rocket to the moon, all time low, we the kings, metro station, simple plan, and Anarbor.

 Gosh, how long was this concert? I don’t think I’ll be able to even go on my date! And just as I was going to txt Zack to just forget about it, when I noticed that I had a message.

Nope it’s great; just think that we might have to start it at midnight. :)- Zack

Just reading this makes me smile, because- wait, I just met this guy, I’m going ways to fast.

With a sigh, I reply. Why not, its not like im getting home early anyways, and I think ill be ok, its Friday so I don’t have any work tomorrow.

That’s Great :D Where do you want to meet?- Emma

Do you know where there is going to be a concert tonight? Right there will be fine.- Zack

Hmm, Guess my plans aren’t going to get to messed up today anyways.
