A Day Off (Sher)

it was just a normal day. I got up, slipped on my tight red training pants, a black tank top, laced up my sienna boots, and tied my hair in a cheerleader ponytail. On my way out I grabbed a snack bar from the kitchen.

Went to training, killed a coue dummies along with hours, then I had a lunch break. A couple other career friends and I headed downtown to spend some time. We just stood in a circle and exchanged thoughts on the recent reaping and what was going in in our lives. Then a boy walks by, quite handsome. My friend must have seen how I looked at him because she nudged me. Then the whole group caught on and started 'Ooing and awwing'. I settled ten down and told them I'd go say hello. Rey nodded and watched as I strut away, letting my hair down coquettishly.

The store he walked into was actually one of my favorites! As I kept an eye of him I pretended to scan the racks looking for a nice dress. I fingered the fabrics, bows, and sequins as I peered at him through my bangs with cat like eyes. My friends were practically pressing their faces against the window watching. I winked at them.

I started to inch closer and closer to the boy silently as he decided on some items. I picked up a blouse looking at the simple orange and red pattern. "Come here often?"

"Oh not to often" he says simply still keeping his eyes on the clothes. I rolled my eyes and picked up a bracelet from a small jewlwery shelf and tried it on admiring it.
"I don't usually have time to shop for myself , I'm often too busy." This shocked me. What possibly could he be doing if he was not a career? I mean, I've never seen him training.
"What are yo busy with? I never see you training." I said sharply. He excused himself to try on the shirt and urged me to stay to comment on it.

As he walked away to the dressing room, I peered back at my friends with a thumbs up. They all started squeaking in joy, well the girls at least. The gys looked at the girls, shook their heads and started to imitate them with success. They started to get into a cat fight with each other. I scoffed and walked away leaning against the wall waiting.

I noticed how he looked at me before. He looked interested in me. i hope. He was very handsome himself, white teeth, strong, blonde, short hair. I hadn't noticed the color of his eyes yet, but that could be easily done. I fumbled with some belts on a rack awaiting his return from the white curtains off the dressing room.

he came out and looked at my friends. At this point it was like they were falling over each other. The guys just face palmed themselves at their girly friends. As the boy raised his fingers, the girls pretended to drop dead. i chuckled a bit as he turned back to me. i crossed my arms as I leaned against the wall looking trying to find the color of his eyes. He caught my glance as he spoke about my career training. His eyes were blue, brilliant. they were light blue like a sunny day. they were gorgeous. I sighed a little and broke the glance.

he went on to speak about how he was aprivately trained career. I nodded slightly. i was actually impressed. It explained why he didn;t have much time. "Thats cool." is aid cooly. he raised his hands to the sides and asked how he looked. I studied his torso. Well bilt, i could see it through the white, loose v-neck.

"Looks good to me, not to tight, but not to loose, you know?" I said plainly. I turned around and took a yellow blouse off the rack. "One sec." i said disappearing behind the virgin white curtains to try on the top.

I soon came out again with the yellow blouse on. It was a button down all the way and had a low collar. It was nice and loose, like a blouse should be. I tied the bow around my side and held out my arms like he had held out his. "What do you think?" i said slightly taking a look over to my friends. The guys were nodding and fanning themselves with their hands. the girls just smiled and nodded. I smiled a little at them.

I smiled abit more as he complemented. I looked down and smoothed it out. I stepped back behind the curtains and undressed, sliiping on my black tank top back over my chest and abdomen. As I did, he told me his name was Apex White. Thats an interesting name, I wonder how he got it?[color-D0977B] I thought to myself.

I was shocked when he said to put the shirt on his tab. I just kind of stood their with an astonished smile on my lips. I qickly glanced over to see him pointing to my blouse. I just shook it off and grabbed the bag as the cashier handed it to me. I strut out of the store behind Apex.

he seemed to be taking in all the attention he could get from my girl freidns. the guys jst looked damn annoyed. I knew some of them like some of the girls so I just winked at them. I tapped apex on the shlder. "Why did you do that? I cold have paid for it myself." I said laughing a bit giving my money to him to take. I looked at him into his blue eyes. It kind of made me jealose. Mine were just plain hazel, boring. His eyes were so interesting. i was jealous.

The girls by now had surrounded me and the guys just looked on unsatisfied. They were trying to listen to our conversation. "Guys, none of your business, there are some perfectly capable, handsome guys over there willing to take you to lnch." i said giggling a bit. They instantly snapped their pretty heads back to the boys and trotted over happily. the guys looked at me thankfully and walked away with them. "Sorry about them..."

He brushed off my annoying friends and asked if i ad anywhere to be. I felt some compassion come in a wave over me. Did he like me? Was he interested in me?"

I nodded at his comment, a little disappointed, but happy to get home and get some rest. "Nah, it's ok unless you want to," I said softly as I started to turn in the opposite direction towards my home. A slight breeze blew through and I combed my hand through my hair to lighten it up a bit. I shook my hair and started on my way.

I honestly wondered if he was going to come with me and walk me home. I just smiled and kept walking to see if he would show up. I kind of wondered what his life was like being all rich and stuff. Ya, i was wealthy, but he seemed filthy rich. i don't know why it seemed appealing to me, rich kids are always the most rebellious i guess, I am a rebel myself.
