Meeting the Bad Boy // Ethan Dolan

1- stranger in the store

Edited (again)

Hey guys! For those of you that are new and those of you that are re-reading. I have edited almost the entire story to try and make it less cringy and more mature :). (Sorry for the notifs if you have added this to a reading list) Please enjoy

Sophie's p.o.v

Summer break. Time for parties, sex, alcohol, and good times. Yeah right.

This was not what my summer looked like. Where was I? Camp. More specifically a 'behaivoural and confidence retreat'. I was not rebellious, I was the opposite, intoverted and extremely  anxious. I don't think it really helped that much. Putting a bunch of socially anxious teenagers in the forest to interact and do activities. Waste of money if you ask me. On the brighter side, from all of the activities and such, I managed to lose some weight, so I guess that's a win?

School starts back up soon and let me tell you one thing. I am not excited, not like anyone should be. I mean it's school.

What I am looking forward to is seeing my best friends everyday though. Kerry and Daniel are the best people to ever walk this Earth, I'm pretty sure they like each other but they shush me everytime I bring it up.

I have to go shopping. When I told you I lost weight I mean I LOST weight, 20 kgs in fact so I'm going to need a whole new wardrobe.

Currently standing in a mall with absolutely no idea what to do, my dad usually does the clothes shopping, he is a designer. There are no words to describe how awkward I probably look.

So I texted Kerry to come help.

Me:
Hey K, I have an issue and I'm  nearly ab to have a mid life crisis at the age of 17, pls come shopping with me ?

Kerry <3
Ofc S I m just around the corner actually meet you at there

I shut off my phone and 'casually' pace around the stores waiting for Kerry to arrive.

My motions pause when I see a black crop top with white stripes across the side on one of the racks, there is one in my new  size but I'm not sure if I'm ready to expose myself like that. I must have been staring because someone who I assumed worked here came up to me.

"That would look hot on you, you should get it" he says in a not surprisingly deep husk voice. The sales pitches these days are getting weird, but I kinda like it ??

"Oh uh " his dark green eyes were looking at me, I looked back at him and saw he was actually a making of God himself. A sharp chiseled jaw, black wavy hair and a pretty toned body if you asked me. What? I am a teenage girl. 

"I'm not so sure about that" I say looking at my feet.

"Well why don't you try it on, see if you like it?" He says with a smirk

Why not? I hadn't had any fun before this summer so I'm gonna try be more 'spontaneous' .

I smile at him and take the shirt of the rack and turn to the changing rooms, I can hear his feet quickly follow behind. I enter the last room and he follows me in.

"Um what are you doing ?" I barely get out, more like a squeak actually.

"Helping you with your shirt " he answers inching forward and looking at my lips then my eyes.

"I would rather you d-didn't " God why did I have to stutter at this exact moment, love this Sophie, I gently brush passed him and enter another cubicle, ain't nobody got time for that.

"You don't know what you're missing" he says in a cocky tone from outside the curtain.

It was one of those changing rooms that had a curtain so I couldn't slam the door in frustration, which I thought would have been appropriate.

I start to change my shirt into the one I had my eye on, it actually didn't look half bad.

"I think it's more what you're  missing" Flirting as I walk out of the room in the top and I see him stare at me, I smile at this small win. Sophie, this is a complete stranger.

"Yea I gotta go now " I walk back into the cubicle, undress and when I walk out his eyes are dark. That was so unlike me. I can feel my cheeks heating up. 

He takes one more look at me and walks away which the most smug expression, just like that. Asshole, not even a goodbye ?

I hesitantly walk over to the checkout and pay for the shirt.

I get a message.

Kerry <3
Where are u ?

Me:
Turn around :)

Kerry turns around and smiles at me.

"Sophieeeeeeee ! I missed you how was camp? you're looking good" she smiles.

"It was probably the most boring experience of my life, also why were you are just around the corner you live like 30 minutes away "

"I was dropping off Daniel, cause he stayed at mine last night" she says blushing.

I said nothing back just raised my eyebrows nudged her on her arm.

"Hey shut up!" She retorts

"Didn't say anything..."

We shop until my already low amount of money is spent on clothing and accessories and I maybe might of intentionally left out the part about the stranger in the store.

Let's hope to god that I see that boy again.

Suddenly my phone goes off, signalling a text.

Unknown number
Maybe next time learn to close the curtain properly babe...

So this is my first story I know it is short but I have always wanted to write a story so here we are, it's probably trash but bare with me please. Also the changing room was one of those ones with curtains that are hella scary.

They will get longer but this was the first chapter kind of introducing how Sophie acts <3
