The town looked amazing! There were stores side by side lining the street. It looked like they went forever. At the end of the street I could see Miami beach. "Hey mom can I go shopping by myself, I already see a ton of stores that I want to go into?" I asked. "Ya sure your 16 I trust you. Just make sure you keep your phone on." "Ya I know." I turned around and went into a store nearby.

I'm not sure what the store was called, but it was a cute little store. There were clothes, bathing suits,jewelry, and little toys that had something to do with Florida. I immediately saw a beautiful charm bracelet that I loved. I walked over to it but it was really high up. I kept trying to reach for but I couldn't get it. "Hey I got that for you." I heard someone say. They had a beautiful Irish accent. I turned my head to the right to see a boy in a soccer jersey, with blonde hair, probably around my age easily reach up to get the bracelet for me. When he got it down he handed it to me. "There you go." He said he place it in my hand. "Oh um thank you." I said, stuttering a little bit. He smiled. "No problem." He replied. "Do you want to try it on?" He asked. I nodded my head, not able to say anything. He took the bracelet from me and wrapped it around my left wrist. It looked beautiful. The diamond and seashell charms lightly danglers from my wrist. "It looks nice." He said. "Thanks." I took it off so that I could pay for it. I walked up to the front desk and placed the bracelet down. The cashier rang it up. "That will be $7.99" she said. Just as I was about to reach into my purse to get the money, some guy ripped it off of my shoulder and started running. I was in shock and I couldn't say anything. "Hey!" The boy from early yelled. He started running after the guy. He could run really fast because eventually he caught up with the guy. He tacklers him and took my purse from him. He jogged back to the store and have me my purse back. "Here you go." He said handing it to me. I took it and paid for my bracelet. The boy started waking out of the store. I quickly grabbed my bracelet and ran after him. "Hey wait!" I said. He turned around, facing me. "Thanks so much for getting my purse back. If it wasn't for you I probably never would have seen it again." I said to him. "No problem." He replied smiling at me. I smiled back, blushing a little. He was really cute. "I know we might not see each other again, but if we do, I mean if I could do anything to repay y-" I started but he cut me off. "No, no it's ok. You don't have to." He said shaking his head. "Are you sure? 'Cause I wouldn't mind." I said. I really want to repay him, but mainly so that I had an excuse to see him again. "Ya I'm sure. Buuut just so I can make sure it doesn't happen again, I should probably walk with you. You know, so that nothing, um, bad happens." He said bringing his hand behind his neck. I guess even he was starting to get a little nervous. "Oh ya sure. I wouldn't anything bad to happen." I replied. He looked down at my hand, noticing I was still holding the bracelet. "Oh, um do you want me to put that on you again?" He offered. "Ya sure." I said handing him the bracelet. I took it from me and wrapped it around my left wrist. When he finished he looked at me and said. "I'm sorry I never caught your name?" "I'm Emily Madison." "Well, nice to meet you Emily I'm Niall Horan." "Nice to meet you too Niall." I said smiling.

We walked together, going in and out of stores, and we talked. I told him that I was from Massachusetts and was on vacation. He was on vacation too and was from Ireland. I could tell from his accent. He had been in Florida for a while with his family, so he knew the area pretty well. "Where are you staying?" He asked me. "I'm staying in the cabin at the end of Brookeson Road." I replied. "Oh I know which one that is. I'm on the same road but about 5 minutes up the street." He responded. We smiled at each other. I guess I will get to see him again.

After a little while my phone rang. I took it out of my pocket. It was my mom.

"Hey mom." I said. "Emily where are you we need to head back to the house to eat dinner." "I'm right next to American Eagle." "Ok stay there me and your dad will find you so that we can go back to the house." "Ok." I hung up and put my phone back in my pocket. "My parents are coming to get me. You don't have to wait with me if you don't want to though." I said to him. "I don't mind like I said, I don't want anything bad to happen to you." I nodded my head and we sat down on the bench and waited for my parents.

After about 10 minutes my parents finally came. They kinda looked at me little confused as to why I was talking to the boy that was sitting next to me. "Emily are you ready to go?" My dad asked. I jumped a little because I didn't know they were there. "Oh, um, ya I guess so." I replied. I looked over at Niall. "By Niall." I said to him, sad that I had to go. "By Emily." I started to walk away with my parents when I heard Niall running after us. "Wait Emily I forgot something." He said. I turned around to face him. "Um, there is something that you can do to repay me." He said. "Anything, anything at all." I replied. "There is a carnival tonight on Miami beach, you could let me take you and hang out for a little bit. Do you want to?" He asked. "Ya sure." I said laughing. I was acting calm even though I was screaming on the inside. "Ok I will come pick you up at 7" I nodded my head. "Em come on we have to go." My mom said. I waved to Niall and he waved back.

We finally reached the house at 6. Niall would be here in an hour! As my mom cooked dinner I ran upstairs to get ready. I kept the same cloths on, a pair of jean shorts with a loose floral top that wrapped around my neck, and flip flops. I just noticed that my pony tail was falling out so I took out the elastic and brought my long hair over my right shoulder. I quickly made a loose braid. Then I went and put on some light make up. I kept the eye shadow neutral colors so that it looked natural, and did a slight wing with my eye liner. A little while later my mom called me down for dinner.

I walked down the stairs and pulled a chair out at the table to sit down. My mom put a bowl of spaghetti in front of me. "Why do you look so dolled up?" My dad asked. "'Cause I'm hanging out at the carnival with my friend Niall. He's coming to pick me up soon. And I'm not that dolled up." My parents looked confused. "We have been here less than a day and you already have a friend?" My mom asked. "And not just any friend, a friend that's a boy. Who's Niall." My dad added. He looked at me like I just committed a crime. "Calm down Dad," I started. "He is just a friend. And he's the boy that I was talking to when you came to get me." My Dad still wasn't convinced. "So it's not a date? And when he comes over I still want to meet this kid." I sighed. "Ok. And we are just friends. Some guy tried to steal my purse, and he got it back for me. I told him that I would do anything to repay him, and he wanted me to hang out with him." My parents dropped their silverware. "Wait, someone tried to steal your purse!?" My said, scared. "Ya it's fine though." I could tell they were still a little uneasy, but we just ate our dinner in silence.

When I finish my dinner I put the bowl and fork in the dishwasher. When I closed it I heard a knock on the door. It must be Niall! I ran to the front door and opened it up. "Come in, my parents said they want to meet you" I said. He walked in and I led him to the kitchen where my parents were standing. "Is that Niall?" My mom asked. "Yup." I said. He waved to them. "Nice to meet you." He said to them with a smile on his face. I could tell by my parents' expressions, they were starting to feel a little more comfortable. "Nice to meet you too." My mom said. "Do you want to get going?" I asked. I was afraid that my dad would start to scare him. "Ya sure." He answered. "Don't be out too late Em." My dad said. "Ya I know." I said as I walked away. Niall was in front of me and held the door open for me. As I passed him I smiled at him. We walked up the driveway and towards the beach.
