Huge Mistakes.......Have Consequences

Chapter 4

We finally had pulled up to where you were supposed to drop people off. "I'll pick you up in about an hour, okay?" my mom said.  

"Okay! Thanks, mom. Love you." I said standing on the sidewalk on my tippie toes (yes. I said tippie toes.) and waving. As my mom drove off into the distance, I began to walk towards the entrance of the building. 

I strode in there, acting like I go there everyday. Look. I didn't necessarily want to go the mall but Jess told me I shouldn't be 'dressing up as a slob' so I decided to go shopping. I know right? ME. SHOPPING. But hey if there was one thing I thought Jess was right about, it was that.

Besides, I'd never been to this mall anyways. It was going to be kinda fun trying something new. 

When I started walking in, I started gazing all around as well. It was always nice seeing new places for the first time. The walls were painted a nice shade of purple. It looked a bit like lavender. The foot court stretched probably as wide as all my classrooms and cafeteria combined. That may have been an exaggeration but it felt that way when I looked at it. Above all of the people enjoying themselves at the food court was a really high ceiling. We didn't really have malls like this back hom-err I mean former home. Our clothing shops had always been sort of small. That is why I preferred to go shopping as little as possible. 

After my sort-of-long pause I began walking again. As I walked further into the mall, I kept looking around for a store to go to.  This was going to be a long trip.

-minutes later after she has done some shopping-

It had felt like hours while I was shopping. It felt like I had gone to about a billion stores. Boy I am quite an exaggerater. 

I looked at my watch to see how much time I had left at this mall before my mother came. I really didn't feel like giving my mom a heart attack. 

I had time for just one more store. I decided to make my way into the store Buckle because it was the closest clothing store to me at that point.

I started making my way towards the girl-clothing section of the store. My eyes fell upon all of the jeans that were hanging up. My eyes just widened and I just smiled and walked towards them. They were cute. 

I started scavenging all over the jeans section. I wanted to find the perfect pair for some reason. I didn't have that much time so I only really had enough time to try on one thing.

As I was strenuously searching through the jeans, a random hand just picked up a pair of jeans hanging up beside me. At first I thought the person was just going to grab their jeans and go but then out of the blue a rather masculine sounding voice spoke. "I think these jeans would look nice on you," the voice said. Being very interested in the jeans at the moment I said "Really you think so? Well thank you, I-" right when I was about to say something else it clicked. I slowly turned towards where the voice was coming from, very-creeped out at the moment. 

And when I turned around, my eyes fell upon an extremely attractive guys face. It took me about thirty seconds to realize it was Aiden. 

"Oh my gosh," I said and slightly backed away.  He just looked at me with a puzzled expression on his face. 

"Oh my gosh sorry it's just um I didn't expect to see you here." I said mentally face-palming myself. "I understand. I would be in shock too if an attractive person like me was talking to me," he replied. I tried to hold in my giggling.

"Yeah. Oh..um do you work here?" I asked curiously. "Oh yeah, I'm here every tuesday, thursday, and saturday five hours a day." he said casually. "Wow five hours?" I asked. "Eh five hours isn't that long. Plus, it pays off when you start bumping into hot chicks all the time," he said. I really hope he couldn't tell I was blushing. He smiled. 

"Well then it probably payed off super well today," I said attempting to be funny. He chuckled. Oh my gosh. He actually laughed. Woah. 

"You got that right," he replied back. We both laughed a little. 

"So, um hey where were you the other day?" he asked me while scratching his head a little bit. 

Great another question I'd been dreading. "Oh me? Oh my stomach was not too kind to me that day so I went home a bit early. That's why you guys didn't see me at lunch. I'm fine now though," I explained to him. 

"Ahh I see. Well when we were at the table we talked about our next you know "stunt"" he told me rather quietly. 

"Oh yeah..." I said. Shoot. Not this again.

"Hey I'll provide more details but we all decided to pull our next stunt at a nearby gas station," he said so casually but still quietly so no one could hear.

"Oh okay," I said really panicing in my head. 

"Listen, my mom will have a heart attack if I don't get going," I said.

"Oh okay. But are you going to be there?" he asked.

"Yeah! I just really need to go right now," I said really shooting myself mentally. 

I started walking further away. I was having so many conflicting feelings. Should I have said yes? Would it have better to say no? I know saying no would be the better thing but look at him. Him and his group took me in as their friends. Was it right to not go through with it?

I turned around quickly "Hey Aiden?" I said not knowing what would come next.

"Yes?" he replied back.

I just stared at him for a while (not THAT long). Should I do the right thing? 

"I dont think I actually want to go through with this," my conscience was telling me inside my body.

Instead, my mouth decided to say the more-cowardly thing. 

"I just wanted to say thanks for letting me know when the next..uh.. "stunt" is," I said.

"No problem," he said and then winked. Oh my goodness.

What was happening.

Blushing extremely hard, I rushed quickly out of buckle, out of the mall,  and into my moms car.

"Hey hun, how was it?" she asked me cheerfully. "Oh it was fine. Can we just go now?" I said trying to act happy but was still kind of panicing.

"Oh yeah sure," she said and we drove off into the distance.

A/N: Guys I know it's not really interesting so far and I know it seems like a cheesy romance but just wait I have like so many cool things planned.
