PUBLIC HUMILIATION!!

Everyone likes going to the mall, and if you dont, you're a lil funny.

you can get almost ANYTHING,  clothes, toys, trinkets, phones, snacks, food, full course meals, a WALMART, and even the movies if you're lucky!!!

Thing is, theres a small majority of people who like going to the mall fully dressed, looking their best, and looking cool. thats me, i like doing that. but im not the only one.

a few days ago i had to go to the mall to pick out a dress for my best friend IRL's sweet 16, but unforunately, my cool asf outfit was hidden because i had to wear this big purple coat i had on, its winter, so its gonna be cold. which means i have to wear an outfit ruiner 24/7 :(

The only thing visible from my outfit were my kneee high converses, ladder laced, clean and all!! ( i remember to clean them with nail polish remover like, every time i wear them once a week :3 )

"So Cozmite, why is this called PUBLIC HUMILIATION? you're wearing a fire outfit!"

okay so, insert OTHER pretty alt girl.

i was in the food court of the mall, waiting for my mom to get some chickfila(?) with my sister, while i was chilling in my shitty purple jacket. i feel a gentle tap on my shoulder and instantly turn around and see such a PRETTY GIRL???? her short hair dyed an almost teal tinted green fading into black, cross earrings, beautiful eye makeup, and a black outfit with a red hoodie over it. She looked at me and said "HI!! i just wanted to say i LOVE your knee high converse!"

during this moment, i was STUNNED from how pretty she looked for a moment, that i fucking paused like an idiot and said "..ME TOO!!!!!!!!"

I SOUNDED?????? SO SELF CENTRERED??!????? WHAT WHY DID I SAY THATTTTTTTTT.

quickly, i corrected myself, and complimented her hair, her looks, her earrings, all in a frantic and rlly quick manner, and she giggled while i struggled on my words, and then she walked away after saying thank you, gently and quietly saying "yayyy!!" under her breath.

I felt so hot and blushy. i felt like i just fucked up in front of a celebrity. when it was just some everyday alt girl probably. but MAN, she was so pretty.

throughout the rest of the time i was in the food court getting my food and eating, a tried looking her way and giving her small glances, because i just thought it was so cool that there was this pretty alt girl in my area. its so hard to find alt kid often where i live, i always feel like i'm the only one out of millions here in NY, but i know that cant be true.

Wherever that girl is, i thank her for complimenting my converse, even if she couldn't see my full scene fit. i cringe slightly at how i responded to such a compliment, but i wont forget her. a small compliment can rlly make for a good story, and brighten somebody's day. :)
