Shopping And The Movies

Madison P.O.V

Laying on the couch with a bowl of cut up fruit I attempt to watch some tv, but my mind keeps wondering off. I can't stop thinking about the boy at the super market. I can't get the sound of his voice out if my head, and I can't stop thinking about his eyes-the way that they seemed to sparkle. Giving up with watching tv I grunt and put my bowl into the sink. Tomorrow I am going to go shopping since in two days I am going to go back to school. Throwing my hair into a messy bun,

I strip out of my clothes, and slip on short shorts and a tank top. Getting into bed, under the cool sheets, I think about the guy with the leather jacket.

He is the last thing I think about as I drift into a deep sleep.

As I jerk awake I look at my alarm clock- 5:43am. At least I made it almost all the way through the night. The only thing I remember from my dream is someone screaming..they wouldn't stop.

Ugh, shopping day I think to myself.

As I walk into the mall I see that there aren't too many people here. It is around 7:30am now since it took me about an hour to get ready and an our to drive to the mall. When I get to Aero I walk around looking for anything good- and inexpensive. Even though my parents give me money-for rent and other necessities- I still try not to buy anything too pricy. After trying on almost half the store I end up buying one maxi skirt, one pink crop top, a flower patterned short skirt, and a black pencil skirt. Moving on to the next store-Wet Seal- I walk around for a while and end up buying a few shirts, 4 pairs of skinny jeans, and jean shorts. Dreading having to go to the next store I walk in.

Victoria Secret.

I absolutely hate this store. I think that it's really embarrassing, having people I don't even know see me picking out underwear and bras. But I have to do what a girls' gotta do! Walking into the dressing I take off my tight fitted navy V-neck shirt. Standing in only a bra-and underwear-I notice how much I am in need of a new bra. This one is way too small. Turning around away from the mirror I take off my clothes and try on a pair underwear and a bra. Turning around to look in the mirror I gasp. Seeing myself in the body length mirror I realize how fat I look. My thighs are too big and so is my butt. When I look at my stomach I turn away from the mirror. My stomach isn't flat like it used to. It has a small baby bump. Every time I see the baby bump it is like someone slapped me. It reminds me that I will never live a normal teenage life.

Deciding to not shop any more today I get dressed into my clothes and buy the underwear and bras in three different colors.

Realizing that I am really hungry I go to a pizza place in the mall. While I am sitting at a small table eating a boy walks over and sits down across from me.

"Hi," he says, "I'm Alex."

Jace's P.O.V

When I finally get to Jack's house Max and Alex's cars are in Jack's driveway. Walking right into the house without knocking I go into the living room. Max and Ryan are laying on the couch watching tv while Taylor and Jack are sitting on the small love seat talking quietly.

"Hey," Max said, " Took you long enough to get here!"

"Sorry, I went to the super market to get gum and and then I met this girl there and we talked for a little bit."

By now Jack,Taylor, and Ryan are looking at me- and listening to Max and my conversation.

"Really?" Jack and Taylor say at the same time, which causes Taylor to giggle. Ryan raises and eyebrow at me.

"Whats her name?" Ryan asks.

"Um.. I actually don't know. I never asked. But she is a little shorter than me and has bright blue eyes, and she is super skinny-but has nice curves."

"Oh. Well I don't think she goes to our school then. I don't remember seeing a girl that looks like that." says Jack.

"Yeah," I say walking over to the couch, "I don't remember seeing her in school either."

Siting down on one of the movie theaters' seats I watch the previews. Ryan, who is sitting to my right, offers me some popcorn. I shake my head and reach into my pocket getting out the pack of gum I bought earlier. The movie starts just as I slip a piece of gum into my mouth. We all decided to watch some scary movie, but i don't remember what the name is. It's suppose to be really scary- which is good because I love scary movies.

There are two girls I front of us. I would say they are probably around eighteen, but since it is dark I can't really see what they look like. The movie only started about forty five minutes ago.

A girl in the movie is at her house in the attic. She is looking for something. She hears the stairs creak.She hides behind a large dresser and tries not to breath too loud. The creaking stops. The girl starts walking toward the stairs. A shadowy figure pops up in front of the girl. She falls and you can see her blood spilling across the floor.

One of the girls in front of us screams and jumps out of her seat.

"I'll pick you up when the movie is over." she says to her friend and races out of the theater.

About thirty minutes later the other girl in front of us leaves. Getting up and walking out of the theater I walk into the lobby. I can see the girl sitting on one of the benches near the window, obviously waiting for we friend to pick her up.

"Hi," I say now in front of her.

Looking up from her phone she smiles at me.

"Hey."

"Are you waiting for ur friend?" I ask her.

"Ya. Earlier before she left because she was scared of the movie."

"Ya I saw you leave and I thought that I would come and talk to you until you got picked up... Like if you want me to."

Scooting down a little bit she pats the open space next to her.

"Sure!"

After about thirty minutes of talking to the girl, whose name ends up to be Kirsten, she gets a text from her friend telling her she will be at the movie theater in five minutes.

"Ok," I say getting up and walking away, "I'm going to go back into the theater..bye."

"Wait," Kirsten says placing her hand on my shoulder. I turn and see that Kirsten is close enough that I could see the hint of green in her eyes.

Slowly she leans in, and I do too. Closing my eyes I brush my lips on hers. This leads to her wrapping her arms around my neck, pulling me closer to her. We deepen the kiss even more. She runs her tung on my lower lip and I give her access into my mouth. Our lips move in sync. She runs her hands down my back causing me to shudder. Suddenly, her phone goes off. She jumps back startled and out of breath. She takes my phone out of my pocket and types something in.

"Bye. She is here now.. thanks for tonight it was really...fun." With that she walks out the door, and waves goodbye through the window.

Laying on the couch at Jack's house my phone goes off signaling that I got a text.

"Who's Kirsten?" Max asks.

"When I left the movie early I went to talk to her. That's what I was doing until the movie was over. She took my phone and I guess she put her number in."

Max throws me the phone.
