Riley had to practically drag me to the mall. I hate the mall. People are just walking around with heavy bags and your feet start to hurt. Everything is expensive. It cost money. I'm broke.

"Maya. I'll buy you food if you just corporate." Riley stomped her foot down.

"Not even food can make the mall fun." I say to her. We are in a costume shop looking around.

"How about I pay for your costume?" Riley offered. I smile at her and pat her back all a sudden very interested in the costumes.

"I'll be right back." Riley says holding her bag close to her. I eye her weirdly but I nod. She quickly makes her way out of the store and walks to who knows where.

I look at the costumes to see nothing that appeals to me.

"Boo!" Someone yells behind me. I jump and slap whoever is behind me.

"Ow short stack." Bryan Crossworth whines. My face turns bright red in embarrassment.

"Oh my god. I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" I ask him. This is just great.

"Yeah, you got an arm on ya." He said rubbing the spot where I just ruthlessly slapped him. This couldn't be more embarrassing.

"Sorry, again. What are you doing here?" I ask nervously. Bryan gives me a hesitant look.

"Well I don't know what I'm doing at a costume shop when Halloween is right around the corner." Bryan said sarcastically. I grabbed whatever was behind me at threw it at him. It was an Halloween mask. Bryan laughed and I felt weak in the knees.

"Um, where's Kota?" I ask crying to remain calm.

"Uh, Kota and I, well, we broke up." Bryan said looking down. My eyes widen and I try my absolute hardest to fight the smile that was trying to take over my face.

"What? What happened? Are you okay?" I ask pretending to sound sad. Oh my lord I think this is the best day of my life.

"I'm fine. I actually dumped her. She was beginning to act like a real bitch." Bryan said. I snorted and covered up with a cough.

"What?" Bryan asked smirking at me.

"What do you mean?"

"Why did you laugh?" Bryan asked crossing him arms and raising his eyebrow at me.

"Beginning?! Kota has been a bitch since she learned to talk!" I say. I relax myself now that I let that out of my system. Bryan just starts to laugh.

"You're so cute Maya." Bryan said pinching my cheek in a joking manner.

"I'm not cute, I'm adorable!" I pout making Bryan laugh again. I laugh and I feel a blush creep on my cheeks.

"Bryan! Dude, are you-aw, would you look at this." I hear an obnoxious voice say. I turn to see Lucas Friar making kissing faces at us.

"What are you? In kindergarten?" I snap at him annoyed at he interrupted us. Bryan just shoved his hands in his pockets and looked down at his feet.

"Nice comeback, where'd you get it? Third grade?" Lucas asked back giving an innocent smile and narrowed his eyes at me.

"You know what?" I ask stomping over to him but I feel two arms hold me back.

"I came just in time, huh?" I hear Riley ask holding onto my left arm.

"Uh, yeah." I hear Bryan chuckle gripping my right wrist. I struggled against their grip but Lucas didn't look threatened at all. He just stood there with his arms crossed and giving me an 'oh really' look.

"Maya, we can go shopping later. Let's just go." Riley said pulling me away. I finally get out of their grip and let out a huff.

"Whatever." I mumble walking out of the store. Riley walks behind me but she rushes in front of me. Something falls out of her jacket pocket and I almost pass out from what I see.

"Riley?" I ask. Riley looks white as a ghost and I couldn't decided what I'm feeling. A mix of anger, sadness, and shock. I didn't know how to handle the situation.

"Maya I-"

"What the hell?" I ask staring at the half smoke cigarette and the lighter along with a full pack of the death sticks.
