Gotta Be You

Honestly it was like any other normal day. The sun would rise I would take a shower, eat, brush my hair and go to work. Im only 17 but I graduated high school early because of good grades and such.

I worked at Olive Garden, which in my opinion, was quite an unusual place for a teenager like me to work at. I threw on my work attire, which was a pair of black slacks and a white button up shirt and a pair of green toms I just got last week.

I walked down the stairs from my room to the downstairs bathroom. I made sure I looked alright for work just in case. You never know who will be there(: I walked outside to my car. It was a white 2000 Volkswagen Golf. It was “OK” I guess. It got me from place to place when I needed it to, it ran good, and look alright. I always made sure that it was clean, it looked nicer when it did.

I pulled up into the employee parking lot at Olive Garden. My whole day was like any other. Say “Hello my name is Skye, I will be your waitress today, can I get you guys something to drink or do you have any questions? Feel free to ask away” with a huge grin on my face. That was my daily routine at work. It was so boring and I hated it completely. If I had a choice or not to go to work or even work I wouldn’t. Im doing it for money to pay for my car insurance and my mother. She’s practically forcing me for no reason at all. She says it could help with responsibility and I could learn from it. I always wondered how would I learn from working at “Olive Garden”?

My bestfriend Marissa met me after work. It was friday so I got off at 12:30. Since Olive Garden was right across form the mall we would always meet up after my work hours were over on Fridays and hit up the mall to either do some window shopping or actual shopping. When we pulled up at the mall Marissa rolled down her window and yelled at a couple “GO GET A ROOM YOU TWO” who she thought were probably going to end up having sex on the sidewalk. So she thought. We walked into the mall and you could already smell the perfume smells from all the different stores. First we went to “Abercrombie and Fitch” to look at some summer dresses. I found a blue flower designed dress with a brown braided belt that was just in my size. Marissa found a white one also with a brown braided belt but she ended up putting it back because it said it made her look to pale. I have to admit that it did make her a little pale. Buts that why we were bestfriends. We could be truthful to each other without the other one getting upset.

After I bought my dress we walked out and then walked into “Buckle” so I could by me some “Miss Me” shorts and maybe a cute top. I ended up not having enough money to buy some “MIss Me” shorts, a top, shoes, and Marissa something so I just bought some shorts and a “Betsey Johnson Let’s Polka Swimwear Top and Bottoms. I barely even had enough money for that. I actually didn’t When Marissa went to try on a top, I took some money from her purse without her knowing. Yet at least.

When Marissa and I finally got tired of walking around the mall we went to Susie’s Pretzel Pip. I always wondered why Susie added “Pip” to the end of the pretzel stand name but never asked anyone. Never was important enough to me. Marissa got the regular pretzel with salt and cheese. I got the Cinnamon and sugar pretzel sticks with white icing. Those were my favorite thing to get when I came to the mall. I got them every single time I came here.

After we threw away our pretzel trash we walked over to “Starbucks”. Marissa ordered hers and mine iced coffee. I found a table and sat down. There was only one table left that had 8 seats at it. I decided that would be fine and sat down. As I waited for Marissa, I sat my head down and kinda rested. I heard a chair from my table screech against the tile floor. I looked up to see who it was. I held my breathe with my mouth wide open. I could not believe who had just down right in front of me. It was Zayn Malik from One Direction. I wanted to scream but I couldn’t catch my breathe.

“…..So, Hey” he said to me.

“Uh.uhm. Hi?” I replied back trying not to over grin my smile I had on my face.

“So, you see him over there? The cute blonde with the braces?”

I turned to see who it was. Of course I knew who it was just by the way he described him. It was Niall of course.

I nodded my head yes trying not to nod to hard.

“Well, he fancies you. You know, hes got a “thing” for you” he said with a smile on his face.

I just kept staring at Zayn is amazement. As I was looking at him in the corner of my eye I caught Marissa walking towards me, well us. I started making “NO” motions with my hands and mouthing the words over and over again. Zayn gave me a weird questioning look and turned around to look to see who I was try to shoo away. He laughed, got up and walked away. It was a little weird that he would just get up and walk away like that.

Marissa came rushing back spilling our iced coffee out of the top of the cups. Mine was already half way gone buy the time she reached the table.

“OMG! Was that really Zayn Malik!? SKYE, were you talking to him?” she said. She was fangirling alright. And she said I would be the one to fangirl greatly if we ever met them or one of them.

“Uh, yea about that. Funny story. He came over to me and told me Niall fancies me!” I said in excitement.

“Skye!!!! You have got to be kidding me!” She paused for a while with a big grin on her face.

“NIALL LIKES YOU!!” She screamed out loud. I blushed in embarrassment.

I looked around me to see Niall looking straight at me. He got up and walked away. He turned around and motioned me towards him.

“Go SKYE GO!” She whispered in a yelling tone.

I got up and walked towards him.
