"Chicken! Come and get your chicken!" a man yells as we walk into the busy streets again, "Buy one get one free!" he catcalls grasping two plump chickens in his hand. Swarms of people rush to his side, bartering higher prices than the other. I spot Flint and dad outside Lili Scoops Ice cream shop. Mother waves, I fake a scowl at them jokingly for leaving us out on the ice-cream. Flint flicks back his dark brown hair and laughs while slurping another mouthful of ice-cream. “Slow down there!” I giggle stealing a lick, which was a mistake since he had picked honeycomb. Disgusting.
“What have you boys been up to?” Mum asks dad.
Dad sneaks a look at flint and says sheepishly, “Oh you’ll see”.
Mum throws me a quizzical look and shrugs, “Paisley and I were just talking” she says.
Dad nods, trying not to make much of it.
Flint frowns demanding to join the conversation. “Well let’s get going then” Mum says.
