Jack's POV:
The boys accompanied me as we walked into the Zumiez in the mall in search of a new skateboard deck for myself.
Zach decided to be stupid and throw mine in the pool, completely damaging the board. It wasn't just randomly though, we had gotten into a fight because he said I had caused us to 'lose our duo in Fortnite', which is total bs.
As we strolled in, my eyes immediately scanned the wall of skateboard decks in the back of the store, walking away from my friends.
Jonah and Corbyn looked at the shoes on the wall and Daniel and Zach browsed through the Champion shirts folded on display.
I glanced up and down the rows of skateboard decks, seeing colorful decks and ornate patterns printed on the back of them.
"Do you need any help?" A soft voice interrupted my thoughts and I peered to where the noise was coming from. Turning around, I laid my eyes upon one of the most beautiful girls I had seen in my life.
She wore a white Thrasher sweatshirt with denim shorts and paired with pink vans. Her hair was down and she fumbled with the name tag on her which read, 'Y/n.'
I realized I was too busy staring at her and spat out an answer so I didn't seem like a weirdo, "U-uh I'm good. Thanks." I mumbled and she nodded with a smile. Jack, why do you sound like an idiot?
"Okay. Just let me know if I can help you with anything." She answered with a grin, strolling away back to her spot at the register to help a customer.
I got mad at myself considering I didn't make conversation with her whatsoever, which was pretty strange for me. I never had any trouble flirting with girls but today this one had me tongue tied.
"Jack, did you find a good one?" Zach asked, coming into my view from behind me. He had a red champion hoodie in his hands.
"No... I got distracted." I mumbled, instantly regretting it as the words came out of my mouth. Zach loved to instigate and embarrass me whenever he had the chance.
"Distracted by what? A girl?" Zach smirked nudging me in the rib cage and I rolled my eyes.
"No." My answer was frank and Z could clearly see right through me. I peered around the room for Y/n and saw her talking to Jonah with a smile. Of course she was talking to Jonah. I subconsciously let out a small frown.
"It's that girl that works here, isn't it?" Zach pestered, gesturing to the beautiful girl who chatted with my friend.
"She's pretty right?" I beamed, staring at her dreamily and Zach burst out laughing.
"Yeah she's hot. Did you talk to her?" Zach wondered, also watching Jonah flirt with my crush.
"Barely. I don't think I can do this one Zach. Jonah's already on it." I sadly spoke, seeing how Jonah leaned over the counter speaking to her with a smirk on his face. She blushed as he spoke to her.
"What? Just cause Jonah is flirting with her doesn't mean anything, talk to her." Zach demanded, sounding baffled that I'd let Jonah keep talking her up.
"Nah dude, it's okay." I mumbled giving him a half smile. Secretly, I felt defeated. I never had problems with flirting with girls but for some reason I just felt insecure and not sure I would be able to face rejection from one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen.
Zach looked at me quizzically and shrugged, going back to the front of the store. My focus shifted back to the decks in front of me, searching for a nice one. A few moments went by before I felt a tap on my shoulder. I figured it was Zach being annoying about the whole situation so I turned around with an eye roll.
"Zach stop bugging me ab-" I quickly cut off what I was going to say when I saw Y/n in front of me smiling.
"Your friend told me you needed some help finding a new deck. Were you too scared to talk to me? I'm not mean I promise." She giggled looking back at Zach who watched the whole conversation with a smirk painted on his face.
"I-I'm not scared. You were busy." I mumbled, not sure exactly where to go with the conversation.
"Well looks like I'm not busy right now. What's your name?" She asked peering straight into my eyes with a smile on her face.
"It's Jack. Yours is Y/n?" I questioned, pointing down to her name tag so I didn't look like a stalker.
"That's me...Jack I have a question for you." She pondered, tilting her head to the side.
"What's your question?" I answered, confused thoughts filling my mind. What did I do?
"Do you- I was wondering if you wanna...exchange numbers?" She shyly asked, not making eye contact with me. Her cheeks turned pink and I could tell she was nervous.
"Yes." I may have answered too quickly but I didn't care. I can't believe someone like her would want my number.
"Great." She looked around the room to make sure her manager wasn't watching and she handed me her phone, as I gave her mine. We exchanged information and she took her phone back with ease.
"You're beautiful, I know that's kinda weird since we just met but I thought I would let you know." I nervously told her, feeling my palms sweat slightly. In the corner of my eye, Zach stood there with a stupid grin on his face, looking like he was up to something.
"That's so sweet of you, you're very cute too. I wouldn't usually ask an attractive guy for his number but your friend Zach over there told me you were interested in me." She confessed, her smile never leaving her face.
Zach. What a fucking dipshit.
"He's so stupid but I'm glad he did." I chuckled along with her.
"Yeah, No. Regrets." She spoke, emphasizing the word 'no.'
"Y/n can you get back to work and stop flirting with our customers!" Her manager, I assume, shouted out to her.
Y/n blushed profusely and nodded, quickly waving bye to me and running to the front of the store, helping a young girl.
After she was far enough away from me, Zach ran up to me with the same dumb look on his face.
"You're welcome Jack." He called out to me, raising an eyebrow. He patted himself on the back cockily.
"Normally, I would kill you for doing something like that but I'm so glad you did." I truthfully told him, thanking him.
"Yeah I know I know. I'm the best wingman ever." Zach spoke cracking his knuckles dramatically.
"Can't argue with that."
