Michaela was talking with her friends at the mall. They snacked on churros and soda. "Whats up with you today Mic? You've been acting paranoid all day." Daisy asked. Michaela shrugged. "Nothings wrong, I just..." She looked past her friend and stared at the same boy who followed her yesterday. Daisy followed her gaze and giggled. "Hah! You've got a crush!" she announced. Michaela blushed. "Uh no I dont. I dont even know his name." Michaela defended. "I see it too. Your eyes seem to glow with happiness." Anya said. "Happiness? More like confusion! He was following me yesterday and it was creepy!" Michaela was almost yelling. "Oh so he likes you. How come you dont like him back?" Daisy smiled at Michaela. "Stop. Just stop. I'm going home." Michaela walked away. Her friends called after her, but she ignored them. Michaela walked out of the food court grumbling. She navigated through the halls of the mall until the sun hit her face. Michaela breathed the fresh air and she smiled. "You look just like her." A voice sounded behind her. Michaela jumped and turned to find the boy from yesterday staring at her. "What?" She looked at him angrily. "Maria. You look just like her." He said, running his fingers through his black hair. "Look, I dont know who you think I am, but I'm not her. Leave me alone." "I know your not her." "Then why follow me?" Michaela put her hand on her hip. "I-" he furrowed his eyebrows. "I dont know. I just feel... drawn to you." "Okay, your weird." Michaela said. "You are too. I've been watching you. All you do is walk around to the same places and talk to the same people. How is that any fun?" "I dont. Today I went to the mall. I didnt do that yesterday." "Dont you ever want to travel?" He asked "Who doesn't? But I dont have the chance, nor the money. My mom travels, but my brother and I arent allowed to join. Why am I talking to you about this? I dont even know your name." Michaela turned to walk away when he spoke again. "Anton. My name is Anton Jeriv." "Michaela Furitiv." They shook hands and Michaela walked away, toward her house.
--Notes-- -What do you think of the names? :) -Name still being workshopped, dont be surprised if it changes -Writing/story/characters by me -Yes, the cover picture is AI, I'm sorry, but I didnt have another option. I cant draw as well as I wish I could.
