20 C20: Independence

It has been a week since I arrived here and there wasn't anything strange that happened after the S&M incident. I've been on alert and well nothing happened; before when we were still chatting we spoke about sex and in the beginning, I was excited but now that I am here, I am scared - afraid of what is going to happen.

Cindy left for work and she left money, about $500 for me, she told me to explore the town because it is my first time here. Honestly, I'm afraid because what if I get caught by the police or I accidentally bump into someone who knows me?

I am very paranoid, I know, but I have my reasons.

She lectured me a couple of times finally convincing me to use this opportunity to become independent, she said that if I become independent it would boost my confidence.

I got ready and called for an Vber driver. I can finally use my mobile now, well ever since Cindy fixed it. Although I no longer use my network from before, just in case I get bombarded with phone calls.

Arriving at the mall from before, I first rushed to the toilets to wash my face... I'm nervous again.

The first place I wanna go too is the jewelry shop from before, I am thinking of getting a few piercings. Arriving there I was greeted by the shop assistant; telling her what I want, she had the others assistant escort me to the back... ah, now I am nervous again.

In the back was a glass counter with a lady sitting behind it; when she saw me come in she smiled. After a bit of waiting, I was told to choose the rings I wanted.

I sat on the chair looking around, she didn't start right away and just spoke to me, I think she could sense that I was nervous.

She marked the left side of my nose with a dot then asked me to lift my shirt, then marking the top of my navel with a dot too.

She came towards my nose with the gun then pierced my nose through...err...it hurts, I'm one hundred percent sure that she hit a nerve because it stings and a tear came out of my left eye. She then did my navel which stings too, but it's not as bad.

I was about to pay when suddenly I wanted my ears pierced. In one shot, my left ear was pierced five times... THE PAIN!!!

She told me to buy pain pills at the pharmacy upstairs. I paid, thanking them and headed upstairs, bought the pills and water - the pain slowly went away after ten minutes.

I put my hood over my head because... well, I don't want to be seen.

I walked around with no destination in mind; I finally became hungry and headed to the food court. Indecisive as always, I ended up choosing Mr Donald.

As I was almost done with my meal, I heard someone speaking behind me, this voice sounded familiar which made my heart beat faster.

I slowly turned my head and moved my hoodie out of the way and... it's him, my crush from school.

WHY IS HE HERE???

~

I quickly turned around and hid away, after a few moments passed, he and the people with him moved to my front... err, they are sitting in front of me!

I slowly started eating the rest of my food as I analyzed the situation. I ordered a milkshake to go right after I ordered my meal and I asked them to bring it over once I am done, so after they bring it over I'll make a get-away.

You know what? I'm done with my meal and this bitch still didn't bring it over.

Getting up, I picked up the tray with the waste on it, took in a deep breath, walked passed them all and threw away what needed to be thrown away. Walking towards the counter the lady from before greeted me and handed me my milkshake as if nothing happened!

I walked off and by accident, I bumped into someone, my hoody came off and I apologized putting it back on and I continued onwards to the bookshop, bending down to look at the puzzles.

A moment passed and someone stopped beside me, that person pulled my hoodie back, I looked up... FUCK ME CHARLIE!!
