We stopped at a small tent that sold mangos and apples. I grabbed two mangos and viscount grabbed a couple apples.

"Here you go" I said to the little boy who sold the fruit.

I gave him a little more than I needed too but I didn't care his life is probably pretty hard extra money can be helpful for him and his family.

"Want to go back to our place or do you want to go somewhere to eat?"

Our place. I smiled at his words.

"Who's on your mind?" He asked.

"Huh?"

"Who's the lucky person on your mind?" He repeated.

"Oh no one"

"Then what's going on in there?"

"Nothing, just thinking about the book you bought me" I lied.

"We'll where do you want to go?"

"Well I sort of want to go to 'our place' " I teased.

He smiled and then looked the other way. I guess he didn't want me to see him blushing.
He was extremely bad at hiding it.

"Aww am I making you blush?" I teased even more. This was payback from the dance thing.

"No I'm just embarrassed" he replied, trying to imitate me.

"Gosh I hate you" We both looked at each other and bursted out laughing. I hadn't laughed or had any fun before this. Or maybe I should say, before him.

We walked down the streets on our way to 'our place'

The whole way we were giggling every time we looked at each other. It was almost impossible not too.

We would take glances at each other and try not to laugh. A smile would always come up on our faces.

We walked into the room we were staying in.

"Gosh it feels so good to be here" I commented, jumping on top of my bed.

He placed the bags of the fruit down at the counter in the middle of our beds. He then laid down on his back. Both of us in the same position.

"You hungry?"

"Yeah a bit. You?" I answered turning to look at him. He looked at me.

"Yeah... I'll cut the fruit" he said sitting back up and grabbing the bag of fruit he took out a mango.

"What do you think your family is doing right this moment?" I asked him sitting up and looking at him.

"Probably going mad and sending people to come look for me. What do you think yours is doing?"

"Most likely the same thing. Mother is probably worried to death right this moment."

"Did you have a good relationship with your parents?" He asked.

"Yeah i guess you could say that. I got along with mum more, you could say she was fun. Dad could be fun at times."

"Yeah?"

"Mhm the only problem was that he always took decisions for me."'

"He probably wanted the best for you."

"Yeah i understand that part. But he never really thought of what would make me happy.
Maybe the best for me is what will make me happy. You know?"

"Yeah i understand."

"Was it hard for you to leave home?" I asked him.

"Physically yes"

I laughed, remembering the time we met.

"Emotionally no" he added.

"Yeah" i laughed more.

"What's the cause for the laughter?" He asked confused on why I was laughing.

"When you fell off the compartment shelve at the train" I explained.

"oh that" he said remembering, I'm guessing he didn't find it funny.

"The extremely awkward 'hello' " I laughed even louder, now making my stomach hurt.

He chuckled. "I didn't know what to say"

"Yeah i know you didn't"

"Here" he said, handing me a slice of mango while he kept cutting the rest.

"Thanks"

"Mhm. Do you have any siblings?" He asked.

"Yes, I have an older brother his name is William." I told him.

"Do you see him often?"

"I haven't seen him in a couple months, he's off to college"

"Oh really?"

"Yes, he's studying to become a doctor"

"Oh... interesting"

"Yeah"

William is around 18 years old. I don't talk about him much because it bring back a lot of memories.

He is my best friend. In fact the only friend I had.

When he left it was extremely hard for me. I would write him all the time. I stoped writing to him when I came up with the plan of leaving home.

I miss writing to him but I'm not risking getting found if i write. He could be with my parents right this moment for all I know.

"Do you have siblings?" I asked.

"Nope, im an only child"

"Must suck. Right?"

"Hm? Yeah sometimes."

I took a bite of the mango that he handed me earlier.

The fresh cool flavor touching my taste buds. It was so fresh and delicious. These taste a thousand times better than the ones at the store back at home.

"Fresh isn't it?"

"Yeah it is." I smiled.
