"So where you from?" I ask.

"Uh... I'm from... Uhh.."

Is she okay? Has she got amnesia from the fall?!?!

"E-England!! Yep! That's where I'm from!"

"Whoah. All the way from England!?"

"Wellll ish. I was born here. Left when I was 5. Grew up in England, now I'm back here"

She turns to me and immediately rubs the back of her neck.

"And you didn't need to know about that. Moving on!" she walks faster.

We walk into the shop and she puts both of her hands on her waist.

"Okay! What did you buy again?" I start walking so she follows and holds the basket for me.

"So how old are you?" I ask.

"15" then she mumbles something I can't hear.

"What was that?"

"Nothing. How old are you?"

"15"

"Oh cool! Twinningggg!" she givers me finger guns.

"When's your birthday?"

"Oh. I don't know"

I turn to her confused.

"What do you mean you don't know"

"Was never told"

"You weren't told?"

"Nope! Only the year. But I barely remember that"

"How come?"

"... Pfft. Bad memory"

"Does that mean.. You've never celebrated your birthday?"

"Noparooo"

"Huh. Neither"

Her eyes widen a little.

"Really?" She follows me round the corner.

"Yep. My family's to busy helping others" I transform into Jose to reach something from the top shelf. Before I change back and put it in the basket.

"Oh... That sucks. When is your birthday?"

"(Random birthdate)"

"Oh! Thats not to long away!"

"No its not. I'll be 16! God that's scary"

"i guess."

"Yeah. Oh well" I carry on walking.

"So does the rest of your family have shape shifting? Or is it just you?"

"Uh everyone has a gift. Well apart from Mirabel. But they can all do different things."

"Like what?"

"My sister Dolores has super hearing. She can probably hear this whole conversation right now."

Her eyes widen.

"Uh, myittle brother Antonio hasn't got his yet, my cousin Luisa has super strength, my other cousin, Isabella, can control flowers, my mum can change the weather with her emotions, my auntie can heal you with a meal, and my uncle... Well we don't talk about my uncle." I walk away.

" Why? "

"Don't worry. Hey look they've got marshmallows" I grab them and put them in the basket.

//////////

We walk out together and she hands me the shopping bag.

"I got to go home now. I'll see you around"

"See you" Then we walk our separate ways.
