Third person pov
Stephanie left school and before she got home she decided to go to the mall to buy some stuff she needed besides it was Leon's birthday in a few days so she needed to get him a gift anyways.
As she entered the mall she first went to a perfume store.
Ethan on the other hand just arrived at the mall and went straight to a suits store. After picking out some suits he went to the main mall to get snacks and so did Stephanie.
She was on the third aisle looking at a box of chocolates which she loved but she saw no price tag on it so she was heading to the front desk to ask for the price when, out of nowhere, someone bumped into her almost knocking her over.
"Hey! Watch it!" Stephanie snapped, glaring up.
Ethan stood there, equally surprised, his dark eyes locking onto hers. "Sorry. Didn't mean to—" He stopped mid-sentence, caught off guard by the intensity of her stare." "She's so pretty gosh I'm in love" Max says. "And she smells so good" Lucian adds each taking turn to look at her through his eye making his eye turn red and gray.
For a moment, the noise faded around them. Neither spoke.
Stephanie was stunned to attracted by how handsome he looked. "Wow he looks so hot" Something said in her head which snapped her out of her thoughts and she finally remembered seeing his eye change colours. Maybe I was hallucinating she thought.
Then, a faint blush colored Stephanie cheeks. "Maybe... you should watch where you're going and not bump into people next time." She says trying to keep her heart steady. Ethan smirked, intrigued. "Maybe I should. But I don't usually apologize twice so I'll say it now I'm sorry miss..." Max asked taking control.
"None of your business mtcheww (hiss)" she says. Stephanie rolled her eyes, about to walk away when she caught him watching her.
She just shrugged and continued her shopping. "Well wow first girl to get me sooo interested like this" Lucian said. Ethan just stared at her back and continued his shopping. Later he went into a restaurant to eat and saw food on a table. Everywhere else was full so he decided to sit and wait for the owner cause this was his favorite restaurant.
Stephanie came out of the restroom and saw a familiar face the one she had just met at the mall. She rolled her eyes and walked over. "Wow stalker much so am I too pretty that you can't get your eyes off me want my name or number?". "What? (Bursts out laughing) Really? You think I'm stalking you? Why would I do that I just happened to be hungry and decide to come and eat and u accuse me of stalking?" Ethan asked with an eyebrow raise.
Stephanie stared at him for a few seconds saw that he wasn't lying and sat down on her chair to eat while Ethan ordered food. There wasn't my conversation as both of them were busy with their phones.
They both finish eating in silence stare at each other and leave in different directions. "there's something different about that boy" Stephanie thought to her self.
When she got home, she saw her family seated in the parlor with tense and serious expressions on their faces. "Hi mom hi dad, Sophs." They all responded to her greeting and then her mom looked at her dad signalling him to talk. "Okay sweetheart here's the thing, were moving" Dad said hesitantly "Okay? Is that all you guys want to say?" she asked and they all nodded.
"Then why the hesitant faces? Wait why are we moving again?" she asked. "Well some bad people are after us anyways there's no way to stay here." Her dad said. "Bad people? Why?" She asked. "Well you'll know everything one day sweetheart but right now it's better if you know less. Alright start packing we're moving this night so we can get you into a new school by Monday". Her mom said.
"I know I shouldn't be a baby about this but mom friends I mean we've been here since like forever and you know how close I am to Leon and Carmen how do you want me to move on so fast I mean...." She started but "Alright that's enough what's more important our safety or your friends? I understand you don't want to leave them but you can always call and chat and visit once it's safe". Her dad said. "besides we weren't asking for your opinion we were telling you now pack up we're moving tomorrow morning." Her mom said.
"Fine". She said as she went upstairs and sat on the bed.

Carm and Leon: So soon? 😭😭
Steph: Yh so by 6pm at the usual.
Carm: Alright it's a date
Leon: Yh.
So by six that evening they all met at the city's park. They embraced one another for at least two minutes each.
'alright enough with the sob party it's time to let loose and have fun so how about it?' Stephanie asked. 'i was about to say the same thing tell me so do you read minds?' Carmen asked and they all burst out laughing.
First they went to get cotton candy and drinks then they headed over to rollercoaster.
Stephanie and Carmen were screaming like crazy because they both were afraid of heights. After that they managed to get on almost every single ride in that park. After everything they say down on a bench and looked at each other then burst out laughing.
'You know I didn't think we'd separate like this but I'm happy that I'll at least be in this country it would've been a whole different matter of I was relocating to another country then we would have limited time to see cause your parents have never liked me. And before the both of you try to deny it I already know it's true I can see okay, and I don't know why they don't like me but I can't make them like me either that's why I'm happy it's just another city.' Steph said.
'Okay, okay, okay we get it alright no need to go deep into it jeez you'll make us cry. I'll miss you a lot Steph and if you don't return our calls or texts you know it's still this country you're in I'll storm over there and give you a piece of my mind' Carmen said. 'Okay I think we've said all what needs to be said I'm with Carmen Steph if you try anything funny we'll be there to torment you.' Leon said. 'We have two more things to do before we call it a night. We go to the horror house and to the mall to get matching stuff.' He finished.
They headed off to the horror house then to the mall to buy their stuff.
Stephanie turned her head and saw the boy from the mall. *Stephanie:* "Now what do you have to say Mr. stalker wanna deny stalking me again?". Ethan just looked her up and down and continued on but he couldn't help but look back and compare her eyes with the girl in his dreams eye. He shook his head and thought he must be seeing things.
The rest of the night of the three friends went well.
