Love In The Third Degree

Chapter 6: Steps to a start

We pulled up to the front of the apartment building ,and I got out. I was fine with Markus pulling up because my parents weren't home to question. "I'll be right out, I'm just going to go change and get some stuff," I smiled.

"Okay," Megan smiled.

"Fine by me," Markus shrugged. Karmin didn't say anything he just crossed his arms. I got out and darted inside making my way up to the apartment. When I got in I dropped my bag off in its usual spot in the living room making my way to my room. I pulled out my black string back it had some iron ons I had gathered from over the years. There was a British flag, a Rolling Stone logo ,and a skull iron on. I went to my drawer and pulled out some pajamas. I pulled out a pair of black pajama pants ,and a white tank top. I tossed the outfit into the bag. Next I grabbed ripper jeans, a black tank top and put my blue flannel in the bag. I decided I would change into a Megadeth t-shirt, shorts and fishnets. I put on my converse and and my denim jacket. I grabbed my wallet with all the money I had been saving. I grab my string bag and made my way out of the apartment locking the door behind me.

I left the building with my stuff and got into the car. "Wow Abs, you look great," Megan said hugging me," Makes me want to go home and change."

"No we are heading to the mall now," Karmin said sternly.

"Chill, the night is young," Markus said coolly.

"Lets just go," I said rolling my eyes with a small laugh. We put in a tape by Iron maiden. Megan sung along to the lyrics with precision. We eventually got to the mall. Everyone got out. I decide to leave my bag in the car.

"I'm hungry," Megan stated Simply.

"Alright let's go to the food court and get some grub," Karmin said calmy.

"Rightio daddio," Markus said.

"Are you feeling ok?" Megan quizzed Karmin," Your not being a little bitch for once."

Karmin just rolled his eyes. He looked at me."What?" I asked.

"Nothing," he replied coldly. There's the ice prince I know.

"Lets head in guys," Megan said already making her way towards the entrance. I ran after her jumping on her back.

"REVENGE," I yelled. Instead of dropping me she ran in with me on her back. We were giggling like hell opened its gates. Megan eventually put me down. In front of the door.

"Pay back is an utter bitch," Megan laughed.

"Come on guys let's go," smiled Markus passing us. Karmin following close behind him. I saw a small smile playing on his lips. I pulled on Megan's arm forcing her to follow.

We walked in and saw a McDonald's. "I think I'm going to get McDonald's," I told them.

"Doesn't sound half bad to me," Markus beamed.

"Yeah I'd like McDonald's," Megan said.

"I'm fine with that," Karmin replied coolly. I walked to the McDonald's and everyone followed suit. We order a whole bunch of food. Got our trays and sat down.

"Yo, let's share embarrassing stories," Megan stated bluntly while stuffing her face with fries.

"Growing up with you is embarrassing enough," Markus laughed. Megan glarred at him.

"Sounds like an idea," Karmin said sarcastically sipping on his coke.

"I'll go first," I said,"Back in London I was in a private school so I had to were a uniform. The skirt, the button up ,the blazer everything. It was hot so I took my blazer off while I was eating lunch. I was eating chili and it spilled on my white button up ,and got on my blazer. So for the whole day I smelt like chili and cheese."

"That's beautiful," said Megan. Markus just chuckled lightly.

"You were always clumsy," Karmin laughed.

"And he isn't cranky," I say sarcastically.

"Oh, shut up," he rolled his eyes and crossed his arm.

"I know an embarrassing moment," Megan smiled.

"What?" I asked.

"Markus calling Karmin dadio,"She turned to Markus," Please never do that again."

"Yeah well you bit him," he replied.

"Well that's because he touched my food," she stated. He just rolled his eyes.

"So Abby how long did you live in London until you moved to America?" Markus grinned.

"I lived there until I was 9," I smiled.

"What was it like over there?" Megan asked.

"Cold, British, but the Archature was amazing in London. I never got tired of it," I smiled looking at my food. I really did like London, but I would never move back because I like America a little more. We finished up our food and headed out.

"Yo, can we check out the pet store after we check out the music store?" Questioned Karmin.

"Sure thing man," Markus replied patting him on the shoulder. Megan had a stupid smile on her face.

"Wait there is a music store here?" I asked.

"Yeah, they sell instruments ,and such," Megan said.

"That means I could buy a guitar," I smiled.

"Remember you could always get lessons from me," Markus smiled.

"Wait, you we're serious about that?," Questioned Karmin.

"Yeah got a problem?" I said angered.

"No, I was genuinely curious," he said putting his hands up.

"Oh, sorry," I apologized scratching the back of my neck. He was becoming ever so slightly soft and not as cold.

"Come on let's stop fighting ,and get going," Megan said pulling us towards the escalators. We stepped onto the one's heading up.

"Yo Abs if you need help picking out a guitar I can help you," Markus said.

"You are the only one I would trust picking out a guitar. You are the only one that plays," I smiled.

He looked away smiling and scratching the back of his neck. We got off the escalators and walk down the corridor. We passed many clothing stores. Then my eyes landed on a small music store.
