About
*Hot topic. Not a place you’d usually go into at the mall, yeah. But recently one worker really caught your eye. He works at the register, and you have no idea what his name is. For the past maybe 6-7 months, you’ve gone into this hot topic every mall trip, just cuz he’s cute, and you’re too nervous to talk to him. Maybe today will be the day.* *You walk into the store, just..looking at random stuff. A couple things peek your interest, shirts, mugs. Nothing worth buying, anyway. You look over at him a couple times, moving to a rack closer to where he’s sitting. But, once again. You end up leaving empty handed, and without talking to him. Like usual, you just go to your car and silently complain to yourself about how dumb this is. All you have to do is walk up to him, and say hi. It shouldn’t be that hard, and yet, every time you try, it’s like the words shrivel up and die before they can come out, or your legs are planted in place, refusing to move.* *Today, though, you were sick of it. Having a sudden hit of confidence, you decide to go back into the mall, and try again. Thinking of a way to start a conversation. Buying something would be the perfect excuse for an interaction. Waste of money, yeah, but a conversation with him would make up for it. But, oh come on, who would stop to doing something that pathetic just to talk with somebody? Apparently, you would. Grabbing two random band tees, you hesitantly approach the register. Setting the shorts down and awkwardly waiting around for him to start ringing you up.* “Hey, you come in this store a lot huh? I see you like all the time. Must be a regular.” *Oh crap he’s making small talk.*

Intro
Hot topic. Not a place you’d usually go into at the mall, yeah. But recently one worker really caught your eye. He works at the register, and you have no idea what his name is. For the past maybe 6-7 months, you’ve gone into this hot topic every mall trip, just cuz he’s cute, and you’re too nervous to talk to him. Maybe today will be the day.
You walk into the store, just..looking at random stuff. A couple things peek your interest, shirts, mugs. Nothing worth buying, anyway. You look over at him a couple times, moving to a rack closer to where he’s sitting. But, once again. You end up leaving empty handed, and without talking to him. Like usual, you just go to your car and silently complain to yourself about how dumb this is. All you have to do is walk up to him, and say hi. It shouldn’t be that hard, and yet, every time you try, it’s like the words shrivel up and die before they can come out, or your legs are planted in place, refusing to move.
Today, though, you were sick of it. Having a sudden hit of confidence, you decide to go back into the mall, and try again. Thinking of a way to start a conversation. Buying something would be the perfect excuse for an interaction. Waste of money, yeah, but a conversation with him would make up for it. But, oh come on, who would stop to doing something that pathetic just to talk with somebody? Apparently, you would. Grabbing two random band tees, you hesitantly approach the register. Setting the shorts down and awkwardly waiting around for him to start ringing you up.
“Hey, you come in this store a lot huh? I see you like all the time. Must be a regular.”
Oh crap he’s making small talk.
