Kennedy High

Frank's POV


"You're late."

"Late? What?" Frank was busy trying to find something edible in the fridge.

"It's noon already." His mom was standing behind him with her hands on her hips, but Frank knew she wasn't really mad.

Frank pulled some grapes out of the fridge and stated in a mock-offended tone "I'll have you know I was up at 10:30 this morning."

His mom chuckled, grabbing her keys off of the counter. "Well let's get moving, we don't have all day.

Frank nodded, sticking the grapes in his mouth and grabbing an energy drink as they left the house.

The mall was pretty dang big. They had been wandering around aimlessly for almost an hour, and none of the stores looked even remotely interesting. Frank was starting to wonder if there were even any good stores here.

"Frankie, hon, do you think we can rest a minute?"

"I told you to stop calling me that, mom." Frank frowned, then spotted the food court. "Oh, we can sit down over there." They headed over to an empty table near the edge of the food court.
His mom sighed in relief as she sat down. "I don't think I was made for walking. Frank...is there any stores you actually want to go to?"

He sighed "I don't know mom, I haven't seen any...and this mall is huge!"

"Tell me about it."

Frank smiled, taking in his surroundings. It was a pretty fancy food court, with a high ceiling and wooden chairs. One of the walls was pretty much just a giant window, and the view was pretty great. He found himself sitting there just admiring the view. It was surprisingly peaceful. The noise of the mall had faded into the back of his mind.

Maybe it was the Rockstar he'd been drinking, but suddenly he felt like someone was watching him. He glanced to the side of the food court only to see a boy with bright red hair quickly look away. He was wearing a white sleeveless t-shirt with a black hooded vest and dark red skinny jeans.

He was barely done checking the red-haired boy out when he stood up to leave. Frank noticed the shopping bag he was carrying was printed with the words 'Hot Topic', and suddenly he was pretty sure of where he wanted to go.

Notes
