Friends With A Beauty

The Supermarket II

The Anime convention was coming up and somehow I finally convinced Helena to go with me. It was not that she disliked anime but rather she disliked other people knowing she did. Unlike her I didn't care what people think, I didn't have a reputation to protect, after all I was no beauty. We planned our cosplays before hand and we finally decided on a day to go shopping which just happened to be a rainy day.

"Of all the days..." she complained as we sheltered inside a fabric store.

"Atleast we can look for what we need," I said trying to be optimistic, but it sounded fake as I was also bummed.

We spent close to an hour just looking around at the different types of fabric but the store really had nothing we liked.

"It stopped raining, lets check somewhere else." she suggested walking towards the door.

She linked arms with me as we exited the store walking through the wet streets. Despite the rain, there were still many street vendors and guys still loitering along the stores.

"Psssssst, my sexy friend in the red!" One of the guys standing in front of the supermarket called after Helena.

I found myself laughing at the situation. "I think he means you!" I joked, knowing it would get to her.

"Soo not funny..." she muttered. "I'm thristy..." She announced, pulling me towards the supermarket where the guys loitered on the outside.

We walked towards the fridges trying to decide what drinks to choose. "Eww...How is that even a drink?" I said pointing at the bottle of sea moss milk.

"It's really good!" she smiled. "I would buy it if it were cheaper!"

"Well I'm not..." I reached up grabbing a bottle of Mountain Dew from the top shelf of the fridge. I turned around facing Helena before asking her if she had decided as yet.

She looked at me with a serious face.

"My sexy friend in the red! I not following you or anything. My friend wanted a juice from in here." I looked past Helena to see the guy that was outside now walking towards her.

She didn't hide the fact that she was extremely weirded out by this guy.

"I really not following you or anything!" he said in his defense. "But I like your style and stay as you are...beautiful!!" he stated before walking away.

Yet again I couldn't prevent myself from laughing. "That wasn't weird at all!" I said sarcastically.

"Shh...Let's just go pay for these drinks and get out of here." she stated.

Unfortunately that day ended with us buying absolutely nothing for the convention~

~Any thoughts? I thought it was pretty awkward haha but I'll try updating pretty fast if I don't get distracted by anime!
