I walked around the small town of stars hollow. I see they are still working on the gazebo that I had burned down.

No one knows I have returned except some of the people who saw me on the street walking around.

I then walked along the sidewalk close to Doose's market and went inside as I was trying to get something for my sister.

I looked around the small store, and I ended up in the  aisle of the snack section and looked through my options.

I look like I am inspecting everything, but I can't make my mind up.

I tall figure stands beside me he bent down to my level and looks at me.

"What are ya looking for?" He asks me.

I looked at him. He had a boyband haircut and wore a Doose's market apron with a red shirt and dark blue jeans. 

"I don't know.. I can't make up my mind, " I admit to him.

He smiles, shaking his head as he reaches for a bag of Doritos.

"Here, these are really good and only a dollar," he says, handing them to me.

I nod with an okay expression, taking the chips into my hand.

"So, I can't seem to place a name to you. What's your name?" He says.

I got up standing right, and I had to look up to keep eye contact with him.

"Woah, you're tall.." I say shocked.

He chuckles, gliding his fingers through his hair.

"Yeah, some say I am a giant," He says, chuckling.

"Uh, sorry, you just caught me off guard. Some would scream and run away from me, " I say to him

"Now, why would someone do that? You seem harmless. "

Oh, if the poor guy knew how 'Harmless I can be 'Harmless', I can be.

"Anyway, uh, I am new to town, so you probably don't know my name."

"Actually, my girlfriend looks a lot like you it's kinda freaky. I was wondering because the resemblance is uncanny. "

I then start to get uncomfortable, I nod, acknowledging him and walking away paying for the bag of Doritos.

He then gets behind the cash register, helping me pay for my bag.

"Are you everything around here?" I ask.

He nods, laughing. His smile was contagious. It made me smile also, laughing along with him.

"No, that is Kirk he's our everything here, actually," he jokes.

I knew Kirk. He was very scared of me after that prank. I pulled on him at the Winter Carnival last year.

"Alright, you still haven't told me your name," he says to me.

"Neither have you," I say.

"My name is Dean Forester. I moved here from Chicago, not too long, ego. "

"I'm Isabelle, everyone calls me Iss," I say, telling him my name.

He smiles and places his right hand resting on the cash register.

"Then I'll see you around Iss," he says with a lazy smile.

I nod as I walk out with my bag of Doritos.

I could feel his eyes following me as I left, and I then saw Kirk from afar. He saw me.

He then let out a blood curdling scream as he ran away, his hands flailing in the air.
