Patrick groans in frustration when she hears her name being called. She can't believe he'd finally found her after half an hour of running and hidding behind different ailes in Wal Mart.
"Hi." Pete says cheerfully with a blinding grin on his face. But she would not let herself give in. She'd already seen what he does to other girls and, although she does kind of like him, she will not go out with him. "I was looking for you."
"Yeah I know. I was just-"
"Hiding? Yeah I figured." He laughs. She feels her cheeks burning as she crosses her arms. "Now that I think of it, why do you always run away from me?"
Quick, an inteligent, satisfactory answer, she thinks. "No I don't." Good job. Idiot.
He rolls his eyes, "Sure you don't." Silence takes over and she thinks she can escape, turning around and walking away. But as soon as she walks inside the freezer aisle, she sees him walking beside her.
"Are you following me?"
"Are you avoiding me?" She stops, crosses her arms and raises an eyebrow.
"Ok maybe I am following you." He says and smiles and she has to stop a smile forming on her lips.
"Ok, then. Maybe I am avoiding you." She says and waits for a comeback, but all she gets is a playful pout and sad eyes. She bites her lip and tries to walk away again, but he's right behind her.
"I knew it. Why? I've never been mean to you." She sighs and looks around, trying to find the answer on the ice cream freezer. Maybe she'll buy a bucket for later- "Hello? Earth calling Pattycakes?"
"Shut up." She says playfully. "And don't call me that. Ugh I don't know, ok?" She looks at him and he's wearing a confused expression, all with head tilted to the side. Maybe if she changes the subject she can avoid the embarrassment. "Why were you looking for me anyway?" And that earns another shiny, white grin from him.
"Well, you know how every friday there's a new movie coming out, but its always really crowded. I was thinking maybe we could go to the movies on saturday."
"Um," She starts but he keeps talking.
"-And I know that you're gonna say something about Diane and when we used to date but we're not anymore and if she's your friend she won't mind. I mean, its not like we ended up in bad terms." Diane cried for him for 6 whole months until she met her new boyfriend. She still resents him, though. "C'mon, what could possibly happen?"
She laughs and looks at him dubiously. He's smiling hopefully at her. Maybe he's right. Just one date won't be so bad. "Okay." She says and he throws his fists up in victory and she rolls her eyes, but with a smile on her face. "But just one date."
"We'll see about that." He says and winks at her before walking away. After exactly 3 seconds she notices they didn't agree on anything and they don't have each other's phone number when her back pocket starts to vibrate. Its a text from an unknown number that reads: "Got ur #. Sat @ 8?"
She looks up and around but doesn't seem to find him, so she hides a strand of hair behind her ear before writting, "Sure pick me up. I guess you already know my address." She walks to the cashier to pay when she receives another text from him.
"You know it." She responds: "Stalker" and he answers " ;-)"
She spends the rest of the day talking to him via texts and can't seem to stop smiling all day long.
