Holland POV

"You go glen coco!" I giggled as I turned up the volume to mean girls. It's been one month since my dad passed away and I now live with my aunt. I think about him everyday but now I don't cry every time his name is mentioned. "Holland!!!" "Yeah?" "Come into the kitchen for a moment!" I dragged myself off of the sofa and walked into the kitchen.

"What's up?" I said in a groggy voice. "Can you do my a tiny favor?" I smiled "do I have a choice?" "Nope not really" my aunt handed me a list "go get these groceries you need some fresh air" I was already in tights and a sweatshirt so I threw on some boots and left.

ARRIVES AT STORE
Cookies - check
Hamburger meat - check
Orange juice - check

I went through the list and took a mental note on the rest of the things I needed. I went to turn into the cereal aisle when I came crashing down to the ground. "OWW!" I yelped. A strong pair of arms picked me up and I spun around. It was the brunette boy I saw on the street. "I don't know who you are but you really hate me don't you?" I said giggling. He blushed "no not at all I'm just really clumsy"

"Yeah same here don't worry about it" I was about to walk past when he grabbed my arm. "Umm my names Cody" "Holland" I said smiling. "I know I just met you and all but maybe we could go out for lunch sometime?" That caught me extremely off guard. "Umm yeah sounds like...fun" I wrote down my number and then continued getting the rest of the groceries.
