A/N:
I'm really sorry I haven't been updating lately. I've gotten writers block for a while. But now, I think I'm good! So, as always, I hope you enjoy this chapter. I am going to be changing my writing style a little so here we go!

-------------------------------------------------------

      As I walk into the huge mall, I walk up to a welcome sign and take a map so that way I know where all the good cloth stores are. I open up the map and one particular store catches my eye. Aero Studios! I absolutely love that store.
      I walk towards the stairs and make a sharp turn right when I bump into a boy.

"Oh my god, I am so sorry. I didn't see where I was going and-" I stop talking as I look to see who the boy is. He is very charming I must admit.

"It's fine, I had my face in my phone texting my friend and I didn't see you there." He says with a flustered face.
     He stands up and sticks out his hand for me to take. I hesitate at first then pull myself up with his help.

"Thanks, the names Maddie." I stick out my hand for him to shake and give a comforting smile along with it.

"Names Nick, again I'm sorry about bumping into you."

"It's okay. Nice meeting you Nick."
He nods his head as in saying same to you and we part our ways. I head into Aero Studios and can't help but think of that boy. He was extremely cute. His eyes were the thing about him that stood out most. He had piercing blue eyes.

I start searching for clothes and try on a few. After all, I am going to end up going to school so might as well make myself look very presentable.
I head into Beauty is the Key store next. I grab some foundation, blush, powder, eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow, nail polish, and perfume. I quickly pay the cashier as I head into a hygienic store next.

Mark's P.O.V
I grab my cell as I dial Maddie's number. It rings a few seconds as I hear a 'hello' on the line.
"Hey Maddie, I'm 5 minutes away from the mall so I need you to meet me at parking lot B in 2 minutes. Can you do that?"

"Sure thing Da- Mark! See you soon!"
With that she hangs up. I could've sworn she almost called me dad. I shake the voice out of my head and pull up to parking lot B. I see Maddie as she opens the trunk to put all her bags in. She shuts the trunk and hops up front with me.
"So, how was the mall?" I ask a little awkwardly.
"I loved it. Thanks Mark for everything you've done for me."
I smile at the fact that she's so cheerful. I pull her into a side hug and I feel her tense at my touch. She soon relaxed and hugs me back,
I feel really bad for her, I hope I can make everything okay between us. Soon.
