Stuck in time

Stuck in time: Chapter one

I walked through the unfamiliar isles of the shop, running my fingers along one of the shelve. I stopped and picked up a present shaped candle, smiling to my self I thought its funny how, even this far in the future they don't get any less tacky with these sorts of things placing it back on the shelf I began walking again. The shop was full of people, all going about their normal lives, there was a little girl who looked about five hugging a giant teddy, a woman with a little boy holding onto her hand looking at the stationary and two boys of about 12 chasing each other up and down the isles. Suddenly one of the boys came running past me with the other in pursuit, as the second boy ran past me he bumped into me, sending me crashing to the ground.

The boys stopped "Oh, sorry I didn't mean to." The boy who had crashed into me said

"Its o.." I started to say until I looked down at my wrist band, it looked broken. I pressed the Home button, nothing happened "YOU BROKE IT! HOW AM I MEAN'T TO GET HOME NOW!" I yelled at the boys

They looked startled, a few of the other people had turned around to stare at me. Blushing I looked down at it again "Maybe I can fix it" I mumbled to my self. 

"we are really really sorry" The other boy spoke up. 

Ignoring them I turned and walked out of the store, I had to find somewhere to stay while I figured out how to fix it. You see, my wrist band isn't just any old wrist band its a time travelling device. My uncle Rory gave it to me, along with a credit card that takes the form of currency from the time I am in. 

I came out on a busy street, there were shops lining both sides for as far as I could see. Where to now? I need to find a cheap apartment and fast, its getting dark I thought as I started to walk. After about ten minutes I felt someone grab my arm. 

"Hey, want do you think your doing!" I pulled my arm away 

"Sorry you looked lost, I was wondering why" I looked at the girl who had grabbed my arm, she had bright blue eyes, shoulder length blonde hair with hot pink streaks, had a backpack on her back and was carrying a blue sports bag

"I'm new in town, looking for a cheap place to rent" I don't know why I trusted this girl, I just did for some reason

"Me to, well not about the being new in town, the other bit. I'm Katie"

"I'm Willow"

"Come on then" She grabbed my arm again and pulled me towards what looked like the bad part of town

We walked for another hour before we came to a run down real estate agent. Katie dragged me in side and spoke to the man sitting at the counter

"How much is you cheapest apartment?" She asked him, resting her elbows on the counter

"50 a week" He said without looking up

"We'll take it" I heard myself say

The guy spun around on his chair, pulled out a key and a slip of paper and handed them to us "Key, address, money in advance"

Katie pulled a $50 noted out of her pocket and laid it on the counter. Picking up the key and the bit of paper she walked out with me following close behind. 

When we arrived at the apartment we saw that it wasn't very big, with only one room that was a combination kitchen, lounge and bedroom with a bathroom leading of it. There were two mattresses on the floor

"Night" Katie said, lying down on the first mattress

"Night" I replied.

Although the mattress wasn't all that comfortable I was asleep within minutes.

I'm not going to restrict you on votes and all that but please please vote and comment
