* Ethan's POV *

"Ethan!" I heard my mom yell

"What??!" I said from my room.

Christmas just passed & New Years is right around the corner. Y'know, gotta spend time with the fam.

I walked downstairs and went up to where she was.

"Can you clean your room? Guests are coming over." She said taking out cookies from the oven.

"Gee, I didn't realize dinner will be held in my room." I said

"Just... Go!" She said taking off her oven mits laughing.

"Okay whatever" I said turning around and walking up to my room.

I finally finished cleaning this hurricane.

"Aye mom, I'm going to the mall, imma get new headphones , mine are busted ." I said walking out the door

"Okay bye" she said

I got in my car & drove off to the Apple Store. It's not that far. I arrived & walked in the store to the beats.

"Welcome to Apple, how can I assist you?"  Said the employee

"Um, I don't need any help but thank you." I said looking at some of the headphones.
I mean , isn't it wierd , a 16 year old just wandering around. Why would I need their help?

I grabbed a black and red pair off the shelf and walked towards the register.

I was so concentrated on my headphones I barely looked up. I bumped into someone.

I looked up. "Oh my.... I can't believe it's you"

* Jocelyn's POV *

"Yay we're here!" I said getting out of the car
"Jocelyn don't you think were moving too fast. I mean , you barely got here"
"Nope not at all" . I walked in the store and went straight at the employee.
"Hi... I'm Jocelyn . I'm here to pick up my computer" I smiled.
"Ramirez?.. Ah yes , MacBook Air?"
"Yes."
"Yup, wait here I'll bring it over" they said going to the back door into the storage.
"Hey joccy, I'm gonna go look at the phones , wait here" said my mom
"Sure"
I looked around at people. Then I saw some nice earphones and went to look at them.
I was walking over there when someone pushed me and made my bump into some guy.
"Hey watch it- Ethan..." As he stared at me too.
"Oh my... I can't believe it's you." He said
