Stolen

"Meet me at the food court in 10 minutes!" my mom said to my friends and me as we walked away chattering.

"I heard Luuuuucas likes you, Pen!" Abby said to me, spreading the "u".

"You listen to that crap/rumors?" I grinned, raising and eyebrow at her.

"Penny and Lucas sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" my friends sang in harmony.

"Oh shush!"

Abby nudged me into my friend, Taylor, who was right next to me.

"Penny and Lucas sitting on a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Abby sang even louder.

"Hey, I will slap some sense into you!" I said chasing her around the baby area which we walked to while they were teasing me.

Abby ran too fast for me, and I was out of breath. She was like speed racer, except this is reality. I lost her, so I decided to stay quiet so she wouldn't hear me. I tip-toed down the aisles looking for Abby.

The part of the mall that I'm in is starting to get empty.. Maybe it's because Dunkin Donuts is giving out free donuts today..

I heard someone's footsteps behind me.

"Abby?" I tried to loudly whisper, "I promise I won't slap you again. I'm tired, I don't want to play this game anymore!" I said still trying to catch my breath.

I heard shuffling on the left, and a deep voice clear their throat on my right. The footsteps became closer, and slightly louder.

Did Abby ditch me, and go back with the rest of our friends to the food court?

I looked at my watch, and noticed about 15 minutes had passed by since my mom told us to meet her at the food court in "10 minutes". I started heading back in the direction of the food court.

The footsteps became faster as if the person was fast walking, and a little bit louder.

I didn't mind it. It was probably someone trying to get to the Dunkin Donuts store before it closes.

What if Abby, Taylor, Tani, and Molly were video taping me for youtube again? That would be embarassing, because right now my hair is a train wreck, and I looked tired, and worried. I would be the school weirdo because-

Just as i was in the middle of my thoughts, something or someone interuppted me.
