Riley POV
"You guys seriously haven't spoken since?", Ash asks in disbelief and I nod my head.
"He has a girlfriend now Ash, I understand that he can't always hangout with me.", I say to her as we walk into another shop at the mall.
"No, he shouldn't just bail on you for some random girl he just met, you're his bestfriend since birth. That's insane for anyone to do that.", she argues on and I just jokingly roll my eyes at her.
"Can we stop talking about Ethan, you said we came here to spend time together. No boy talk.", I said turning my face toward her.
"Yeah, you're right. Come on I see a really cute dress over there.", she says excitingly as she points towards a red dress near the back of the store.
"Oh my god, this is the best dress ever.", Ashley squeals the same statement she's said for every dress shes seen so far.
"Go try it on.", I shoo her over to the fitting room and she smiles as she has the red silk dress in her hands.
I should probably look for something too, I think to myself before turning around only to bump into someone, falling to the ground.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so clumsy and I never saw where I was going.", I ramble as I try to stand up only to be met with the hand of the stranger trying to help me up. Which I gladly accept as he helps me to stand.
I look up and am met with cold blue eyes, he looks familiar.
"It's okay, I wasn't paying attention either.", he chuckles scratching the back of his neck.
He looks pretty masculine and has well styled blonde hair.
"Hey, don't I know you from somewhere?", he asks and suddenly I remember him from school. Hes on the football team along with Ethan and Grayson. He's also one of the popular boys at school.
"Yeah, I've seen you at school a few times around I think.", he says and I'm shocked to learned that people besides my three friends notice me at school.
"Um, yeah. My names Riley, I don't think we would've met before because we dont have any classes together.", I politely smile at him and he nods his head.
"So what are you doing here anyway, because seeing that all you wear are shirts and pants I would never imagine you shopping at a store like this.", he says jokingly pointing out all the fancy dresses in the store and I let out a little giggle.
"I could be fancy and wear a dress if I wanted to.", I joke back, "And I could ask you the same thing, the hot highschool football player shopping at a dress store.", I say back but my face immediately gets hot as I think about what i just said.
"You think I'm hot?", he raises an eyebrow smirking down at me and my cheeks heat up even more.
"I'm kidding!", he bursts out laughing as he notices my embarrased state making me slightly laugh with him as I recover from the embarrassment.
"But yeah, I'm not here for me. I'm shopping for a gift for my mom because it's her birthday in a few days.", he says sweetly making me smile.
"Hey, while you're here could you help me pick out which one I should get for her?", he asks me and I nod my head.
"Of course, but as a warning I'm not the best at these type of things.", I say motioning towards the dress.
"It's all good, I'm sure it'll atleast be better than my judgement.", he shrugs as he holds up two beautiful necklaces that were both encrusted in diamonds or Crystal's. Which made my eyes go wide in shock.
"Why would you just take them out like that. Oh my god please don't put them near me, I'll probably break it.", I start to panic and see him chuckle making me furrow my eyebrows.
"Don't worry these arent real, they're made of glass. I'm taking them home to ask my sister for her opinion but since you're here, I don't think I have to.", he says smiling with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh, okay.", I say still in shock of the expensive gifts in front of me. Whether they're glass or not.
"If you dont want to that's fine too-", he starts but I cut him off.
"No it's okay, I'm just in shock because of how expensive they are.", I giggle a little and he chuckles too.
"So which one?", he asks still smiling and I examine both of them.
The first on has four sets of diamond chains with a very big green emerald at the bottom connected on the last one. The other has a big diamond chain at the top with small dangling chains connected to it.
"I'd pick the one with the green gem on it. If she has similar eyes like yours then it'll bring them out and it could look really pretty with a dress that matches it. The first one could get annoying after a while because all the chains are connected separately.", I say confident and find myself shocked that I did.
"Okay, the green on it is.", he says chuckling putting them both back in the boxes they were in before.
"You're seriously really good at making decisions like this. It's smarter than what I could've thought of.", he says looking down at me because of our massive height difference.
"Eh, I pick out expensive diamond necklaces all. the. time. I've gotten used to it.", I say jokingly making him laugh.
"Look, I gotta go.", he says but pauses to think about something, "Hey, why dont you give me your number? Maybe we can hangout sometime, you seem cool.", he smiles brightly at me as I occupy myself with mentally choking on air.
"S-sure.", I stutter in shock that someone would wanna hangout with be besides the people I'm friends with already.
He gives me his phone so that I can type in my number which I do as I save my contacts as 'Riley (From the mall)' in case he would most likely forget my name.
"Thank you...Riley from the mall.", he chuckles looking at the contacts name.
"Hey, I never got your name.", I say as he was picking his bag up getting ready to go.
"Andrew. Andrew Collins.", he says smoothly with a smirk on his face as he walks away out of the store.
That name sound familiar but I dont think too much of it and sit down on a small chair waiting for Ashley to finish.
"Was that a boy I saw you talking to?", her voice says walking out of the fitting room.
"You were done the whole time?", I ask and she nods her head.
"Yeah, I was seeing what you guys were talking about but I couldn't hear it over this loud music from the speaker above the dressing room.
I roll my eyes at her.
"Now tell me all about him, if he caught your attention he must be amazing.", she says sitting down next to me.
"Okay, why not."

A/N: I'm gonna end the chapter here because she would just repeat everything that happened with Andrew again.
What do you guys think of him anyway?
Also, I finally updated. I did this on my phone which I am not used to at all so it took a long time.
And a picture of Andrew is at the top.
