Prince

Knock knock!

"Wait a minute!"

Silence.

Suddenly, the door was opened. My head protruded from between door and wall. "Yeah, mom?"

"Dress up. We are going to the mart."

I saluted, "Okay." The door closed.

I stood in front of my wardrobe, thinking what should I wear tonight. I ran my finger through each of the clothes I have while humming some random song.

Well since it is only a mart, why should I dress up nicely? Just be you. With a cocky smile, I choose random outfits and get changed.

With red sneakers, green fluorescent lining tracksuit, grey football shirt and grey scarf, what do you expect?

On my way to the mart along with my family, I once thought. What if I met my fellow schoolmate there? Will I be ashame with this outfits? I grinned.

Maybe nah. I chuckled as I saw the mart.

My grin disappeared when I saw a bunch of boys that I knew so well in front of the mart. Oh no! Not him.

Quickly, I ducked and walked between my mother and brother. Trying to hide from them. Isn't life is unexpectable? I've expected to meet some of my schoolmates here. Should not it be I found no one? Why it must be him? Out of all 155 students in my grade?

I managed to enter the mart safe and sound without them noticing me. I heaved a deep sigh as I walked around. They gotta be away when we are going to pay stuffs.

Then, my mother and I went to the bra section. Looking for new bras I guess. While my mother looking for it, I walked aimlessly around the section.

As I am admiring those cute hairbands and stuff, I heard a ruckus.

"Prince, look!" "Prince, she's here." "Prince, it's Nate!"

Quickly, I looked at the source of the voices and I saw them. Quickly, I took a sharp u-turn, going to the nearest section.

What the heck are they doing here? Sitting at the middle of mart together? It looks like they are repairing something though.

I sneaked a peek, eavesdropping their coversation.

"What? Can't you see I'm busy here?"

"It's Nate, Prince."

"Where?"

"She's gone already. You are too late."

"Where did she went?"

"I don't know. I think she noticed us. That's why she ran away."

"You guys are too loud. Who wouldn't notice us."

Slowly, I walked away from them and coming back to my mom. "Mom, have you finished?"

"Yeah. Go find your brothers."

"Nate?"

I froze. I know whose voice is this. Slowly, I turned around. Yep, my guess is right.

It's Prince.

With a fake smile, "Eh, Prince? Hi!" Why I didn't walked faster just now? I glanced at my mother. Oh no, don't leave me alone here.

Prince smile warmheartedly, "What are you doing here?" He looked around, searching who I am with.

I laughed, of course half-heartedly. "Shopping?"

Knowing that he is looking for my company, I said "Of course with my family."

"Oh I see."

"Yeah." Okay, that's awkward.

"So, this is the third time we met here right?" He grinned, showing his braces. Obviously, he trying to find a topic to talk.

"Uhh, yeah. I think so. Third time in this mall, another third in Boulevard." I smiled. What the heck I need to add that unnecessary information. Mentally, I facepalmed.

"Right." He grinned.

"Yeah. I... gotta go." I pointed to my family as I tilted my head.

"Okay, take care. See you soon." He waved.

"You too." I waved. I left him, smiling.
