My Mall-Boy [On Hold]

Chapter 1: Mystery Boy

God... I hate all the creepy-ass stares you get whenever you walk through the mall by yourself. I'm only alone because it is better than my siblings or parents being here with me and all of my friends are busy today. 

I'm wearing my black skinny jeans, Blink-182 t-shirt, and my purple converse. My hair is a dark brown with dyed black roots. I decided against makeup today because it's not like I am trying to impress anybody.

Even my friends say that I am cute as a button... I don't know what is so cute about a button, but apparently it's a compliment. So why don't I have a boyfriend?

I've been on a couple dates but I only attract weirdos, why can't a cute, fit, long-ish haired boy fall for me? Oh yeah... they're all taken...

I walk into Hot Topic while I talk to myself, just like I do every weekend to see if there is anything new for me. I come to the mall every Saturday if I can. I like to look at the boys and go through a couple of the stores. As I walk by the counter Tanya, the manager of this place, greets me, "Nice to see you again, Billie" as she waves and smiles at me.

Tanya says she likes my name, I don't know why, it is a boy's name in my opinion. Oh well, it is better than something like Petunia I guess.

I'm looking at some nice Asking Alexandria t-shirts as I walk right into one of the racks and I await the impact of the fall... wait... why haven't I hit the ground?

I look up and the first thing I see are beautiful neon green eyes looking right into my boring brownish-black ones, nice full lips, longish black hair...

OMG it's a guy. A guy caught me. WHAT?! I thought this only happened in movies.

I snap back into reality when the mystery boy speaks.

"I see you like Asking Alexandria so much that you pass out just at the cheap merchandise." He says with a slight smile and a low chuckle. 

"Oh... heh heh... no, I am just a klutz," I say as I try and block my face so that he can't see that I am blushing. That's when I realize that he is still holding me, bridal style, in the middle of the store. "You can put me down now..."

"Oh! Yeah... right, sorry." He says as he puts me down and then looks at the ground while scratching the back of his head.

I then realize that I am standing in something and I look down "shit..." I spilled my tea. I run off to the counter and I ask if Tanya has any paper towels or something. Annnnd she doesn't. Well I still feel bad about it, so I run out of the store and next thing I know I hear running from behind me and then I feel arms wrap around my waist and quickly lift me into the air before putting me back down.

"Hey! What the he-- oh, it's just you."

"I am part of the reason your tea spilled, I had the chance to catch it too but I didn't... I got put in a trance by pretty girl."

I laugh and look at the ground so he can't see me blush. "Oh, um, by the way, thanks for catching me earlier... um, what's your name again?"

"No problem, and my name doesn't matter, babe, your's is Billie right?"

"Heh heh, uh, yeah. How'd you know?"

"I heard that girl behind the counter say it..."

"Why won't you tell me your name?"

"Because. Maybe later."

"Ummmmm, okay..."

We arrive at the bathrooms but once I get in there I realize that there are no paper towels, only dryers. I walk back out of the bathroom with the same conclusion that he must've come up with, I caught him trying to pick the lock to the janitors closet. I walk up behind him and wait. Once he gets it open he stands up, walks in and acts as if he is about to grab the paper towels but next thing I know I get yanked into there with him and I hear the door close and lock behind me.
