im super tired. i hate school. and i have the sat's next week and i haven't studied a bit. how grand.

☽♛☾

me and my mother walked into target, and i immediately felt happiness ingulf me. target was the place for everything. i swear, there was something magical about it. it was by far better than walmart, in my opinion.

we walked to the section where the cd's were held, mostly being curious as to who was out. "y/n, look! they have shawn mendes!" my mom called to me.

"i already have that," i chuckled.

she ignored me and continued to look through more cd's as i wondered around to the small book section. books like paper towns, harry potter, and wonder stuck out to me. i reaches for one that read 'beautiful creatures' with people on the front cover. it had apparently been a movie, and i loved books that were movies, it made me feel smarter when something wouldn't happen.

"that looks like a cool book," a familiar voice said from beside me. i looked to see my crush/ best friend from elementary school (or primary school, i believe). "is it any good?"

i shrug my shoulders, feeling my cheeks burn up. it was times like these where i thanked for the darkness of my skin. others were unable to see me blush, which i knew i did a lot.

he smiled and stuck his hands into his pockets. "how have you been? it's been forever since i've seen you."

"yeah, i guess i've just been busy with school and all. i haven't seen you around school in a while," i confessed.

he nods. "ah, you didn't know i moved?" i shook my head, completely oblivious to the news. "yeah, gray and i moved to la. we make youtube videos and we're even kind of on a tv show."

i nod my head, amazed. he was out accomplishing his life goals and yet here i was, still attempting to figure out how to watch a whole season of friends in one sitting.

"that sounds cool. i'm glad you're out living your life."

"i do miss you though. i was just talking to gray about you like last week. we came by to visit our family, i was hoping i'd run into you somewhere," he smiled.

i smiled back. "well, here we are."

his cheeks went the slightest shade of red. "im here in town for about a month or so. we should catch up sometime," he proposes.

my heart skips a beat as his kind eyes meet mine. "y-yeah," i stumble and curse myself internally.

he chuckles and nods his head. "see you soon then, y/n." he walks off and glances over his shoulder once or twice before he disappears in another isle.

"who was that?" my mom says as she enters the isle with a sly smirk.

i groan. "ethan dolan."

"wow," she said. "he got cute."

"mom!"
