The Hero Meets the Villain

Chapter 7: The Weekend

"I will be right back, Y/N. Keep this place clean, please!" May said, clutching her bag. 

"Yes." You dragged, taking a seat on the chair and taking out your phone. "Stay safe with grocery shopping!" You said without looking.

"If you want to go out, just hide the key on top of the frame, 'kay?" And before you knew it, the door closed. 

You sighed. It was the weekend morning, and you have to wait until late afternoon for your work. You couldn't wait, you were excited. But what could you do to pass the time?

As if on cue, Penn had messaged your phone asking if you wanted to hang out at the mall. You figured that, why not? Being with Penn is much better than lounging in your room, all by yourself. On some other days, you might've preferred staying inside with yourself, but this is one of the opportunities you cannot pass up. 

After fixing your hair a few more times, making sure that it looked presentable, you finally stepped outside and locked the door. You reached up the door frame and placed the key on it. Your sneakers skidded to a halt when someone called your name from the other side. 

You saw Hana excitingly waved with the gardening can on her other hand. You smiled and ran across the other street, your legs getting chilly with the jean shorts you wore. "Hi, Y/N!" She greeted you. "Where are you heading?"

"Oh, I'm going to the mall with Penn." An idea popped in your mind as your eyes lit up. "Do you want to come with?"

A wide smile took over her flushed face. "Of course! Hang on, I just gotta water the last row then I'm ready to go."

While waiting from her front yard, you quickly texted Penn if it's okay for Hana to come with you.

Penn:
who's Hana?

Y/N:
my neighbor. don't worry, she don't bite

Penn:
ha ha, sure :)

Right on time, Hana walked out with a black skirt. "Let's go, I'm getting hungry."

You smiled and let her walk with you. The mall was not near but not that far either. Soon, it was just around the corner. You saw Penn, Sashi, and Boone waiting by the entrance. Penn saw you with Hana and instantly smiled. You smiled back and pulled your friend by the arm. 

"Hey!" You chimed in. The three of the greeted back in return. 

Hana pulled away and beamed at Sashi, Boone, and Penn. "Hi! I'm Hana. It's so nice to meet you!"

"Wow, you're so nice!" Boone gushed. Sashi smiled a bit as the three of them introduced. 

"I've seen you guys around school. You all seemed pretty cool!"

"And that rhymes! Where have you been all my life?" The five of you began to walk inside the mall whilst Hana and Boone were geeking out about each other. 

You muttered besides Penn. "I bet you 10 dollars they're going to end up together."

He smirked. "25 if it's less than a month."

"40 for two weeks."

"Deal."

Sashi chimed up at the two of you. "What about the bet about the both of you ending up together? When are we talking about that?"

You tried to cover up your blush, while Penn failed. "What do you mean?"

"Don't be dumb, you two. I've seen you gaze into each other's eyes for the rest of the school day. Even a blind man can see how much the two of you are into-"
