Falling

Waredrobe

Walking is too much for me over here, over there, everywhere. I get to the mall and go get what I need shirts, pants, shoes. I don't need to go into detail. I got a sick backpack to all my stuff. I walk out of hot topic and some guy bumps into me. My beanie falls off and my hair flows down.

( I swear it seems like a movie).

" Oh my bad I'm sorry." he says as he bends down and picks up my beanie. He checks me out and smiles. "My name is Taye. What's yours?" he says adjusting his glasses. He is TOO fine! Wait. I gotta check myself. I don't know where he's from. He could be dangerous. Or not. "My name'a Shaneya. You could call me Shay." I say smirking.

"Well Shay would you like to have some lunch? Don't worry I'll pay."

I can't decline a free meal. I walk forward and look back. "Comin?" he catches up with me and we go to Red Robin. I choose a booth a we sit down. "So Shay where you from?" He say looking into my eyes. This feels so weird. For a boy to be paying attention to me! It's not that he's a boy, it's that he's someone! Somebody actually wants to pay attention to me.

"I'm from around here. Just not from the intercity. I'm just staying around here for awhile. Where are you from?" I say looking back into to his brown eyes. They're just something to get lost in. "I from here actually. East Philly, born and raised." He says smiling. Our waitress comes with menus. She smiles. "Hi. I'm Kelly! I'll be your waitress for the day! What would you like to drink?" ''I ll have a raspberry iced tea" I say and look at her. She looks happy for no reason. What if I was like that? Smiling without a care for what 5 hours a day? To get a small little paycheck? Taye settles with a coke a she leaves to get our drinks.

"Taye, you have any siblings?" I ask. "I have a little brother and sister. They erk my soul sometimes, but I gotta love 'em. Do you have a brother?"

Our waitress comes with our drinks. "Ready to order?" She says perky as a Chihuahua. "Um can we have a few more minutes?" Taye asks. She walks away to the back. "Actually I have a twin sister. And a know what you mean. She is the complete opposite of me but I love her. She just loves pink and clothes to much." I say making a face Taye laughs and I look.

Why is this boy so cute?

After ordering and talking and getting to know each other our food comes.

"Bottomless fries! My kind of party!"Taye says biting a fry. It's hot and he burns his tongue. "It just came out the fryer!"I laugh looking at him chug his soda. "Don't forget you got a spicy burger." I say taking a bite into mine. He chuckles and looks into my eyes.

"So Shay, favorite kind of music?" Taye says biting into his burger. "Rap. Or r&b. Kendrick Lamar, Kanye, Jay Z Justin Timberlake, Rihanna that kind of music. What music are you into?" I'm having a conversation with someone who's listening. I just can't et over the fact that he's listening. "I like that music too, but you know what song gets on my nerves?" he looks at me. "BLURRED LINES!" We both say at the same time. "Yessssss!!!! It's on all the time! But I can't hate Get lucky. It's to catchy." I explain. "She up all night to get some!"I sings. "I'm up all night to get lucky!"I sing making a beat on the table, getting stared at.

Taye finishes his food and I get a box. I grab my bags and we walk around the mall people watching. I stop and get a phone since I've never had one. And we walk to the exit doors. "I had a great time Taye." I say looking into his eyes one last time.

"Me too. Can I get your number?" he says taking out his phone. I take it from him and put in the contact 'text me?' and walk away.

Maybe I could see him again.

Off to my new life.
