~Mikey~

We talk until 4am. After we get through the tears and the apologies, she tells me what's going on. She tells me about her stalker, who's apparently a girl. "Is it Amy?" I ask. She seems sure it isn't. "No way. She's not only too dumb to think like this, but the perfume wasn't hers. Also she knows nothing about my life pre-juvie." I agree with her, this is something too elaborate for Amy, this person is smart, too smart. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a hacker or something, they're everywhere.

She sighs. "How am I going to do this Mike? I have no idea who she is, no idea if she even goes to my school." I sigh too, she's right. "Well, whatever you do, you'll catch her eventually. She's confident, and borderline cocky. She'll probably reveal herself at some point. Has she mentioned any specific date?" Grace gasps.

"Homecoming! She said something about making it fun or entertaining! I bet if I can read her clues carefully enough, I'll be able to tell who she is." I laugh, she's back to normal. "Glad to hear you're back in your crime stopping mood again, I blame Criminal Minds." She laughs, and fakes being offended. "Just because I've watched all of the seasons and can predict episodes doesn't mean I'm a crime stopper!" I snort, such a liar.

"Ok, ok. So I have an obsession. At least I can use those skills to catch my stalker." I look at the time and groan. "It's so late. We've been talking for ages." She sighs, and I hear her flop down on her bed. "Yeah, I've got school tomorrow. But I'll probably skip, and catch up on some sleep, thanks to you. Chatter Box!" I laugh, she's just as bad as me. "Alright, go sleep. I'll talk to you tomorrow okay?" She sighs, "Night." I hear the call stop and laugh at how long we've been on the phone.

I wrap my blankets around me, and as I drift off, I can't keep the smile off of my face.

~Grace~

True to my word, I don't go to school the next day. I wake up at about noon, and decide to go shopping. I normally hate the malls, but during a weekday they won't be packed. I throw on some shorts and my 'Sarcasm' tee, and spot my favorite black Chucks in the closet. "Sneaky bastards, I've been looking for you everywhere!" I put them on, noticing how beautifully dirty they are.

I arrive at the nearest mall a few minutes later with my wallet and keys. I head to the food court first to get a smoothie. Mango with pineapple is looking particularly good today, so I order a large and tell the guy to keep the change.

I quickly head to Hot Topic, making sure that there aren't any shirts I can't live without. I come up empty, most of them are a bunch of random shows I don't watch. I browse for a few more minutes and decide that the blue haired employee has been staring at my um, 'ass'ets for too long and he's cruising for a bruising.

I walk throughout the mall, not really buying. I see the skate shop and head in, convinced I'm going to find something to buy, whether it's something for my board or some clothes. I spot the beanie rack immediately, and one of the employees comes up to me. "Hey! Welcome to Wheels! Anything I can help you with?" I shake my head, "No thanks. Just browsing." He smiles and walks away. I circle the rack, and instantly fall in love with two beanies. A black one that says "Just No." and a maroon one with a skateboard on it. I bring them up to the counter, and the guy from before checks me out. In both ways I guess.

I sit at a table for a minute and check my phone. There's a text from Miranda complaining about my absence, and one from Mikey.

"Hey, want to talk tonight? I'm free after 8, tell me what works :)"

I smile and reply that 8 is fine with me. I'm standing up when someone calls my name. I turn and see a girl walking up to me. "Um, hi. Do I know you?" She shakes her head, but is extremely bubbly and excited. "No, I'm a big fan of Mikey's though, and you too! I follow you on all of your social media, your tweets are hilarious!" I laugh a little at her starstruck expression. "Thanks. What's your name?" As I say this I notice her phone case, bright pink with letters spelling out Abby. "Abby! Do you mind if we take a selfie? My friends won't believe I met you!" I chuckle a little and agree.

I'm suddenly glad I put on a semi cute outfit and makeup this morning. We pose in a few different ways, and I follow her on Instagram, where she immediately squeals a little and posts our selfies. "Thank you so much!" I shake my head, "No problem I guess! It's not like I'm famous or anything!" She laughs, and hiccups with excitement. "Well no, but since you're Mikey's girlfriend and stuff everyone wants to be you!" I laugh again, "That's kind of crazy! Well I have to get going, but it was nice meeting you!" She grins again, "No, thank you!"

I head to my car smiling and in a little bit of shock. That was some celebrity shit, what the heck. I know Mike gets recognized all of the time, but it's  never happened to me before. I put the key in the ignition and laugh out loud, this is not how I thought my day would go.

.

I call Mikey at 8:05, no answer, Straight to voicemail.

I call again half an hour later, same thing.

I decide to call one more time at 9:30, but he doesn't pick up. What's going on? I really hate to be the girl who texts the best friend, but I want to talk to M really badly. "Hey Luke! I'm trying to get ahold of Mikey, but he's not answering... Is his phone dead or something?" I get a reply seconds later. "Hey Grace! He's on the phone with his manager I think, and then I think we've got plans later on. I'll remind him you exist, don't worry." I laugh at his lack of Korny jokes.

I pass the time with some school work, but at nearly 11 still no reply. Aw screw it, I think to myself. I'm exhausted. I fall asleep, and that phone call never comes.
