Amy's Pov

Mark took my hand as we walked into the mall, I felt my cheeks tint pink as his fingers intertwined with mine.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Yeah." I looked up at him smiling.

He returned my smile as we kept walking.

"There is a store that has all of your health and beauty stuff in it, I think we should hit that store first."

"Are you sure no one knows us out here?" I looked around making sure I don't know anyone.

"I promise, everyone lives on the opposite end of the city. We are so far away from home we are technically foreigners." He chuckled.

"Sorry, I am just afraid that you will be taken away from me."

He let my hand go then wrapped his arm around me pulling me into him tight.

"I promise, you are not getting rid of me that easy!" He kissed the top of my head.

"But I don't want to get rid of you."

"Thank you, we are here at the store."

I looked up and saw that Mark was taking me to a popular store.

"This place is expensive!" I protested.

"Not when you have coupons." He pulled out a stack of coupons from his pocket. "There are coupons for lotions, body wash, hair stuff, smelly good things. Even a couple for percents off of your total."

"Thank you."

We got a Basket and started to fill it up with the items that matched the coupons.

"Mark, this still is going to cost a lot!" I looked at the items.

"Not as much as you think."

We get to the counter and get rung up.

"Okay, so your total before the coupons is $250.56, after all of your coupons it's going to be $98.43. Is that cash or credit today?"

"Debit," Mark said pulling his debit card out of his wallet.

He took the bags off to the counter after the transaction was made.

"Really to go?" He smiled at me.

I nodded my head as he took my hand.

"I know this is new to you but, everything is okay. There is another place I want to go to then we can go to the art store if you want."

"Thank you for all of this, this is not what I wanted you to do."

"It's okay, I want to do this for you. I want to help you feel as normal as you can in that hell hole we call school."

"I honestly don't think I'll ever feel normal there."

"I can try."

"Thank you."

We walked into a trendy store.

"That bag you are using as a purse is nice but I think you need something smaller."  He said looking at the bag on my shoulder.

We walked around finding really cute things, I didn't tell him I liked a lot of things in fear he would buy them for me.

"This is cute." Mark pointed to an outfit on a mannequin. An oversized shirt with leggings.

"That is cute."

He walked over to the pile of clothes and found both in my size.

"Mark, you got me so much already!"
