Ocean Eyes

A Week Before My Birthday

After graduation ended and my parents little celebration for me ended, I found myself extremely exhausted. I was so tired I literally changed into my pajamas and as soon as my head hit the pillow I was out cold. 

My friends and I decided to go to the mall today. It was very short notice. Anyways I need some time with my friends. It'll be good to hang out with them since we're graduates now. We're technically adults.. Well technically I won't be an adult until next week when I turn 18. 

My friends and I get ready and then Amanda comes to pick me up when I text her that I'm ready. Emily is sitting in the backseat when Amanda pulls up with her in the car. That's because I always ride shotgun if I'm not driving. Honestly it's like that because I get carsick if I have to sit in the backseat. 

Finally we arrive at the mall. I can't wait to check out all of the stores and see what's new. It's been a few months since I last visited the mall. Amanda and I immediately have the same thought process when we see the bright lit up sign and hear all the loud Alternative music playing. "Hot Tospic"! We both say it at the same time and instantly make a beeline for the store. You wouldn't think I'd visit a store like this with the way I look and dress. I'm 5,6" and have beautiful tan skin. I usually wear bright colors because I absolutely love having color in my wardrobe. But sometimes I wear dark clothes. I do have some band t-shirts that I've bought from here in the past. I absolutely love them. Although I usually wear them around the house. Very occasionally do I wear them out in public. 

We walk around the store and I found some beautiful quartz earrings with sterling silver posts and they are just too cute to pass up. So I make my way to the counter and talk to the gothic cashier that's absolutely covered in tattoos and piercings. He seems pretty chill though. I pay for my new earrings and then wait for Amanda to pay for her new clothes. She seems pretty happy with her purchases. As long as she's happy, that's all that matters. 

After we got to a few more stores we make our way to the food court. We're all absolutely starving. I order some french fries and Emily and Amanda order salads. I am pretty skinny but I have curves. I'm confident with what I have. My friends are really skinny but they say that they want to, "watch their figures". I don't argue with them. Even though I think they are so pretty. Amanda is about 5,8" she has a bit of a tan but usually is kinda tan. She's is drop dead gorgeous with dark hair that's almost the same color as mine. Emily is about 5,4" with pretty red hair. She is covered in freckles. She has a slim figure. I'm the curvy one of the bunch. Also it's kinda weird that Emily and Amanda both have green eyes. You'd figure Amanda would have brown eyes since she has brown hair. You'd think I have brown eyes too but I don't. My eyes are literally, "Carribian Blue". Everyone loves my eye color. No one else has eyes this blue. I absolutely love my eye color. I got mine from my parents though. Weirdly enough my parents have the same rare eye color. I like being different. 

As we finish our food and chat amongst ourselves. As we get up to throw our trash away I glance behind myself. I glanced at the table to make sure I got my bags and just about then I run smack, dab into what I thought was a brick wall. But I didn't hit the floor. I thought to myself, "I am unconscious"? But then I realize that someone is holding me. Someone caught me? Wonder who that was? I slowly open my eyes and look up into these beautiful blue eyes gazing back at me. Wait a minute! I take the focus off of his eyes and actually look at his face. He is absolutely gorgeous. The most beautiful man I've ever seen in my life. And he somehow caught me. He looks down a me with a devilish smirk. I'm at a loss for words. His tan, sun-kissed skin. His chiseled jaw. All I can do is gaze into his eyes. Then I manage to utter one word, "wow". Did I really say that out loud? He obviously heard what I said and looks down at me and says, "I was thinking the same thing when I saved you from falling". Then he says something I'm dying to know, his name. Then he says it. Hi there, I'm Allic, he says.
