"You want to stay here or come to the shop with me?" my mom asks taking off her seatbelt and turning off the engine. I look at her, thinking for a moment. "I'll go with you"

My mom nods and steps out the car closing her door. "I'm going to the super market for a few things then we are going to the hair and beauty okay?"

I nod and walk next to her taking in the scenery in front of me. I walk in front of my mom to open the door for her without seeing the man behind the door that's sorting out some boxes. I gasp and apologies and he tells me it's okay.

I stand near the front counter of the shop waiting for my mom. The shop isn't very big, it's like an ordinary corner shop but it's just filled with super market stuff.

"Hold this for me" my mom says handing me a piece of cabbage and walking away again. I look at her weird not knowing what to do with it. The man in the corner finishes sorting out the boxes and walks out the shop and comes back in with a full box of vegetables.

As he's about to close the door a woman puts her hand on the door and mugs the man. "Why you close the door on me for?"she pushes the door open and sucks her teeth. I laugh a bit because of how flustered the man looks. He apologises and the woman rolls her eyes, then a boy that looks like her walks in holding a bag.

He looks at the floor for a second before looking up and staring at me. We look at each other for a couple seconds before i look away from him and pretend to look for my mom.

At that moment i realise that no one else is in this shop apart from: me,my mom, him, his mom and the small amount of staff.

"Mom?" I say, looking around the shop. "Over here!" I find her looking at a few things. "Which one looks ripe?" She points at the 2 plantains i can choose from.

"That one" She nods and picks it up also signalling me to come to the counter so she can pay. The boy that i saw a couple minutes ago is also by the counter on his phone.

He looks up and stares at me again. This time i don't look away, my mom keeps tapping my arm until she grabs the plantain off me and i look away from him. He laughs softly.

I roll my eyes and pay attention to what my moms doing. "Mmtch, i left something. Yanna watch these while i go look for it" She walks away and i sigh. She always does this.

The boy from earlier walks up to me and smiles. "What's good" He puts his phone in his back pocket and looks at me smiling. "Hi"

I put my hands in my back pocket looking around the shop hoping my mom will come soon. "You from around here?" he asks.

"No, i live about half an hour away or less. My mom just likes the shops round here" i reply black

"Oh cool, well me and you just keep staring at each other so i thought; might as well come talk to you"

I smile lightly. "Well... are you okay?"

I try start a conversation because this is a bit awkward. And my mom still hasn't came back yet.

"I've been good, stuff going on here and there. But what's up with you? Anything going on?"

I sigh "Nothing much. Same old boring life and repetitive school things. How's school for you?"

"I don't go school. I rap and make a living off it. Might go school once in a while but that's very rare"

I nod shocked. "Nice, you make music. Might have to hear you sometime."

He smiles slightly and nods his head "You can listen right now. I'm releasing a song soon and i need a few more people to give their opinions"

I look at him and open my mouth about to say something until my mom comes round the corner. She stares at me weirdly and then the boy in front of me.

"One minute" i say to him. I walk to my mom and ask her if she's found what she needs.

"Yeah let me go pay, then we can go to hair and beauty"

My mom makes her way to the till and i walk over to the boy again.

"Hey can you give me your number? And maybe you can send the music to me through there?" I lick my lips nervously, hoping he gives me his number or else this would be embarrassing. He looks at me for a minute before agreeing.

"What's your name by the way?" I ask, finishing putting my number in and handing him back his phone. "C Blu"

My eyes widen in shock "That's your name? Be for real, is that a street name or something?"

He laughs a little "That's my name for real"

"I don't believe you" I get my self together and cross my arms across my chest. He just shrugs "Believe what you want ma"

I gasp a little but not quite loud enough for him to hear it

"Yanna let's go" my mom says grabbing the last bag from the man.

"Yanna? That's a nice name" C Blu says smiling

"Thank you" I smile back.

C Blu's mom appears and goes to pay.

"I'll text you later Yanna"

"Bye C Blu"

I close the door and follow my mom to the hair and beauty shop.

Edit: If there are any mistakes i'm sorry, this was rushed😓
