~Olive POV~

I just got out a important (boring) company meeting. I check the time and see it is around 6pm. I think to myself *well crap, I still have to stop at the store before I go home*. I walk out of the corporate building and say my goodbyes as I head to my car. I get in my car and start heading towards the supermarket.

I arrive at the mostly dead supermarket besides a couple locals getting last midnight meals and snacks. I try to speed up and get out of the store as soon as possible. As I make my way down one of the last isles I hear a loud thud as a short boy falls into me. We both go tumbling onto the floor.

He starts apologizing profusely, "I'm so sorry, I should have been paying attention. I'm so so sorry!"

I laugh slightly to myself as I get up and help him gather his items. "It's okay, accidents happen", I say while giving him a reassuring smile.

He continues to apologize anyways, "Is there anything I can do to make it up for you? I can pay for your items-"

"Hey, it's really okay", I say with a kind of stern tone catching him off guard, he slumps back embarrassed. "I promise it's okay, you don't have to be sorry." He seems to form a slight smile and hoes to walk away. "Wait-" I say catching him off guard, he turns around and I stick out my hand, "I'm Olive by the way." He nervously shakes my hand and shyly responds, "I'm Sam, but everyone calls me Sammy." "Nice to meet you sammy", I scribble my number down on a spare sheet of paper and hand it to him, "If you ever wanna talk or hang out, yah know, without running into each other at the store" I say with a chuckle. "I'd like that" He says with a smile as he begins to walk away.

I walk out of the store with my items and drive home happy to have met someone new. I get in the house and finish putting everything away when I get a text-

"Hey, It's Sammy! This is Olive right?"

"Yupp :)"

"Yayy, anyways I got a free afternoon after school tomorrow if you wanna go get coffee or something"

"Yeah, I'd really like that actually, I guess It's a date then!" I say half-jokingly.

"I'll see you tomorrow then! Night Olive"

"Goodnight Sammy :)"

I put down my phone and make dinner and head to bed with excitement for the next day and the "date".
