As our first step touched the street we froze, looking at each other wondering where we are going. To break the silence I spoke up and asked her, “Is there anything you want to buy?”
Jana looks as me for a moment, whoosh, and a double deck red London bus passes by. Her eyes just followed the poster on the bus, when the bus turns into a red dot from the distance. She looks at me and replies, “Book shop.” Without hesitating she walked off and we arrive at a book store, as soon as we arrived Jana rushed to the gardening section. She stops and scans through the books with her eyes. She stood there for about 10 minutes now, without moving an inch. Is she stuck on what book to buy? Since there is a whole book self on garden books. I can’t watch this anymore, I spoke up and asked her, “Jana, what plant do you want to grow or treat?”
And turn her head around to face me and asks, “Blueberries”
“Oh! I just wrote a book on fruit plants. Blueberries is in the book but is not published yet, do you want to come over to my house. I can print it for you?”
Her eyes glittered and said excitingly, “Wow! You wrote a book?”
“Yeah, is not that amazing,” as I shy said.
“I love to read books!”
We left the book shop and start to make our way to my house. Crap! I just remembered that Carlet and Cathy was at my house, did they leave or not? I panicked and bit, but when I calmed I whip my phone out. I tap a message on group chat as fast as possible, ‘r u girls still at my house? If u r, cn u girls leave asap?’ they replied very quickly, their response on whatsapp was:
Carlet: no, we mess up your room, vomit is everywhere!
Cathy: don’t be mean Carlet. And don’t worry Silver we left already. N we clean everything.
I signed in relieve and quickly typed back, ‘thanks.’ As soon as I put my phone away, *kick*, crap I kick onto a stone on the ground. I am going to fall, i closed my eyes to brace the impact.
