Chapter 9

We arrived at the furniture store and got our own separate carts.

"Natsuna, get anything you need for your room, but we still need to budget so maybe go below 100,000 yen." My mom reminded.

"Yen? We're in Canada now? Isn't that around 1,200 dollars?" I pulled down my mask and asked, confusion written on my face.

'For some reason, I wanted to wear a mask today.'

She gasped and slapped her forehead, realizing we're in a different country. I laughed and she followed after.

"Yeah, it's quiet expensive isn't it? So maybe around 5,000 dollars? Get something that you need, like your bed frame, closet, drawers and et cetera. I'll do the same, of course." I nodded agreeing that I need to spend little as I can.

"Ok, you know the drill, if someone came up to you, run." She pointed to my chest, while I saluted to her.

We laughed and separated our ways. She went to the kitchen supplies while I went to the bed frames. I pulled up my mask and took my phone out and started to scroll on my saved posts on my social media account.
I saved a lot of room ideas so I can have a general idea of what I want.

As I was scrolling, I heard someone scream and it made me jumped in fear. I looked around to see that it was just an ordinary woman shopping with her phone on her ear, probably on a call. I sighed in relief, as she said sorry to the people. I looked back at my phone, and noticed a teenage boy looking at my phone. I jumped in shock again and put my hand on my chest.

'What the fuck is wrong with people? Why are they giving me a heart attack'

"Yo." The boy said in english, so I decided to speak english as well.

He was about few years younger than me, maybe around 13 or 14. He kind of looked Vietnamese, but I'm not really sure.

"Hi? Is there anything you want from me?" I asked, confused.

"Nothing, I just thought that you look cute and you should hang out with me." He said while posing.

"W-what?" I asked in disbelief and scoffed at his remark.

"The name's Nam, Nam Nguyen. How 'bout you, cute lady." He asked and tried to wink.

I laughed and covered my already masked mouth.

'Is this kid for real?'

"Natsuna." I answered shortly, while pulling down my mask.

"Natsuna...?" He waited, asking me to continue.

"Just Natsuna." I crossed my arms.

"Come on, cute lady!" He persisted.

I shook my head, put my mask back on and started to walk further, pushing my cart. I heard footsteps following me and realized that he was really following me.

"So, 'Just Natsuna', I am assuming that you are from Japan, correct?" He said, matter-of-factly.

"Pretty smart for a kid" I said, smirking under my mask.

"Hey! I am smart and I'm not a kid." He pouted.

 "Yeah yeah." I said, while patting his head
