grace sat on the walkers; porch with liam, counting down the hours to when her mom came to get her from work. the young teen was bored out of her mind and as much as she can entertain liam, it was starting to become boring and a 13-year-old could do so much.
the door of the front opened, revealing cordell coming out from inside with jeans, a shirt, pair of boots and a baseball cap backwards. grace looks over, about to ask him where he was going before seeing hoyt arrive in his truck, calling out to cordell.
"are you even old enough to drive?" grace asked
"don't worry about little birdie" answered hoyt
grace rolled her eyes at hoyt, annoyed by him and his stupid nickname for her. grace just looks at cordell, her eyes warning him about this but he just ignores grace and runs off with hoyt who says they still need to head off to get geri before she yells at them for taking too long.
grace watches the two leave, before she is met once again with silence. liam asked grace if she wanted to go inside and eat. grace just nods before heading on.
grace didn't really have friends apart from her being force to hang out with cordell and his friends and of course, liam who she adores hanging out with. when grace, re-entered with liam, abeline notice the boredom on her face before finally asking grace if she wanted to run to the store real quick to get them some ice cream.
grace took that as an opportunity to leave the house for a bit; she told abeline that she would love to before rushing off to grab one of cordell's old bike.

the young teen can feel the heat hit the top of her head, as she rode off to the store; and it seemed like abeline wasn't the only one who sent grace out for ice cream because almost every store out of fudge pops (specifically the ones that liam and her like). finally grace past a small store, and entered to find silence. there was a girl at the register, looking around grace's age. she immediately got up seeing the young girl.
"hi! how can i help you?" asked the girl
"uh...hi, i was just wondering if you have any fudge pops"
the young girl got off whatever she was sitting on and marched over to the freezers, looking through before finally finding a box of fudge pops. grace smiled before thanking the young girl.
"my names magnolia, like the flower, what's yours?"
"grace, some people call me gracie though" answered the young teen
"nice to meet you, gracie! this is my uncle's shop, i spend my days here because my parents are at work, they're surgeons"
"woah..."
magnolia nodded her head saying that it was great. grace and her talked for what felt like hours, of getting to know each other, asking one another questions, before finally grace realized she had to get back before the fudge pops melted.
