6 C5- Bumped into a cute boy

I was at the grocery store shopping for enough foodstuff and supplies known in my time, almost everything I found didn't look familiar but can be worth trying. I walked to the candy section debating on how many packets I should get.

"I better get low sugar candies that won't land me in trouble with mom." With my little advice, I went to find some of that candy with no luck. I soon became fed up with this aisle and turned around to check the shelf behind me only to bump into someone by mistake. Though I was quick to hold myself the stranger was kind enough to try steadying me.

"Forgive me please I wasn't looking where I was going." We said in unison.

"Sorry." We said again and I was surprised at our universal speech.

"You go first" We said again and I blushed at this coincidence. Then he gestured I should go first.

"I...uh, I was- I wasn't watching where I was going, sorry." I apologized feeling nervous all of a sudden. It didn't occur to me I was nervous until now. I have never been nervous around the male gender, and when did this feeling come? 'since your failed date with Noel' my subconscious told me. I mentally slapped the bitch if it was possible to hurt her.

"It's okay, neither was I. Davin Rex Javier by the way." He said stretching his hand for me to shake.

"Jazlyn Roxanne Engelbert, nice to meet you too." I introduced and nervously shook his hand.I can't explain… I can't explain why I feel this way, maybe I kinda like his voice or maybe because he's cute 'darn girl, you are way over the loop!' my, my- I am just staring stupidly at him right now.

"Shall we?" He gestured for me to move like we were in some grand opera. I laughed at his silly act but let him lead the way instead. I don't need a guy looking at my behind, really gross.

For the next twenty minutes, we ran across many aisles picking junks, canned food, some household supplies, and some raw food items. Davin and I did have a little chit-chat about the grumpy cashier in the store. It was a hilariously, funny, weird experience. After joking around we finally got what we wanted then glided to the grumpy cashier's desk to pay, Davin and I had a little argument about the payment because I refused him to pay for me which he ended up allowing.

We left the store together, both laughing about his skateboard accident. In truth the story was awful but I still had to laugh hysterically, way too overboard and embarrass myself in front of this cutie while he just let out a little chuckle 'oh great Jazy' Davin most have found my laughter uncomfortable because he is sulking right now, even pouting like a spoiled child.

I didn't have to put up with this act so I called a cab since I will only be given access to my car once I start college. On page eight hundred junction one, according to father's law who consider me a dangerous driver. I am only gifted a car after the first day of college "With conditions attached."

"Today was fun." I admitted.

"Indeed it was. It was nice meeting a girl like you." He asked and I almost blush.

"Same here."

"You lived around… I meant are you new here?"

"Yes. Just arrived" I replied awkwardly.

"Cool, I live about a mile from here. Not really far to me." He pointed down the road just opposite the grocery store. "It's a twenty-five-minute walk from Chasity Noble University. Just ask for Javi everyone knows me there." He told me and I just nod my head. "As much as I'd love to stay here, with you, I really need to go. You are aware school resumes on Monday and I don't want to be late. Again." He huffed like the idea of school wasn't appealing. 

"Late? How do you know when the school resumes?" I ask him.

"Well baby, it's Spain and every university resumes at the same time. And I always end up late."

"I see." 

"Can I have your number?" He asked.

"Erm-- sure." I gave him my number and he gave me his number. He said okay and I said okay.

"See you then, I guess?" He told me and made his way home, taking the route opposite the grocery store.

"I guess so!" I yelled back. A smile itched my lips when left, it grew bigger as my cab parked in front of the shop, I tossed my shopping bags inside before settling inside but still, this bubbling happiness didn't stop.

****

"Guess who's here! I am baaack!" I yelled inside our mansion-like house making it echo in the silence. "And if you want to ask how my day has been, I can gladly tell you it's been more than wonderful." I said to no one in particular. Please… let's hope my mother doesn't hurdle Italian insults from her room.

"Whooooah someone looks happy." Mom made an appearance from the kitchen seemingly happy. A great relief for me also.

"Of course I am. Take a guess."

"A guess?" She asked, eyeing me up and down.

"Yes, just guess." I pushed impatiently.

"You beat the crap out of someone?" 

I shook my head 'no'

"Master Lee is on his way here, because of something you did? Maybe right now?" She pauses. "Oh my God you did not beat up those black belters did you?" Mom's eyes widen with worry almost making me cringe.

"No! Mom, I haven't even practiced martial arts in years. That plot was a lie, I never hurt someone… physically." I tried giving her puppy dog eyes, she didn't buy. "I can swear what I am about to say has nothing to do with the past."

"Then you cried in Public and everyone was staring." She said and I grimaced.

"No mom, seriously try again." I urge her.

"Well, that can be my best guess if you did embarrassing or cause trouble." She said and I almost roll my eyes.

"Okay I am going to tell you. I met a guy today! At the grocery store." I exclaim but mom didn't look fazed.

"Okay Roxy, I don't think I have the energy for this. Guy's with long hair are not gay! Period!" She said and stood up but I stopped her.

"That's not the case mom." I said a little upset she thought I was being childish.

"Then what is it?" She asked. "Don't tell me you saw some girls with short hair and you think they are lesbians."

  I shook my head to disagree.

"No, mom that isn't the case either. I was shopping at a grocery store just down the road and I accidentally bumped into this cute guy, his name is Davin Rex Javier. We connected really well and he lives just a mile away from the grocery store, a twenty-five minutes walk from Chasity Noble University." I said.

"Okay, but you still don't know this guy, so don't get your hopes up thinking you already love him." Mom warned.

"You are right." I agreed then I remembered something.

"Mom you haven't told me the name of the university I have been enrolled to."

"Oh, sorry. I guess it must have slipped my mind, it's Chasity Noble University." She said and I went still. Does that mean I get to see Davin? I squealed with joy and dash upstairs to my room, happily preparing for school tomorrow. Who knew in this life I will be so interested in getting prepared.

I checked through my closet looking for unique clothes to wear tomorrow. I had two choices, a deep purple short-sleeve flare blouse and black skinny jeans, then choice two was a gray hood knee-length jumpsuit.

My shoe choice, a black wedge boot heels or gladiator sandals. "I think I will select one tomorrow."

'Tomorrow is my day, am gonna meet, cutie, cutie boy, meet cute boy, meet a cute boy.

Tomorrow's my day gonna met cute, cute boy and we're gonna hang out. Yeah!!!'

Gosh I sound horrible than my late aunt, who cares!. while I sang I hoped Davin also schooled there, I don't want to be lonely on my first day.
