We left the cafe and headed to the gas station, it wasn't far from where we were, it was like 20 minutes away.
" So what does your name mean?" Asked Ned trying to fill the silence, which he doesn't have to but does
"It means star"
" Oh"
" yeah it's Greek"
" Are you Greek?" He's asked
" Yeah," I said
"but not fully I'm just part Greek"
" Cool"
" I'm part Roman" he said
" Really" I asked
" Yeah" he said
" Well you don't look it"
"Well you don't look part Greek either"
" Well that's cause I'm also part English and Egyptian, my English sides more dominant in facial features, the only thing that I do have that shows I'm Greek is my hair and eyebrows and the only thing that shows I'm Egyptian is my skin colour I guess"
" Well you do look a bit Egyptian," he said before I looked at him
" Just a bit" he said as he pinched his index and thumb closely to show how little I looked it.
We arrived at the gas station and Ned got milk, bread and onions and I got a pack of gum and looked for a pack of jelly beans. As I was looking Ned went to the register to pay for his stuff.
"Hi" said the cashier
" Hi" said Ned
" How are you today" she said with a softly with a smile
" I'm fine" Ned said, she scanned his things
" Cool,plastic bag? "she asked with a smile
" Uh, yeah" Ned said clearing his throat.
"Will that be all" she asked
" Yeah" Ned said kinda uncomfortable, I found the jelly beans and went up to the register,
" Hey" I said to Ned with a smile whilst putting my hand on his arm then letting go,
" why'd you buy milk?" I said with a confused look on my face
" for the cereal" Ned said looking a bit relieved
" oh yeah and for the cookies " I said with a play-along look on my face
" yeah that too." he said getting my message
I turned to the cashier and put the pack of gum and jelly beans on the counter.
" Good afternoon, may you please bag everything in one plastic bag please" I said with a small smile on my face
"Sure" she said with an annoyed expression on her face
" Will that be all?" She asked
" Um, no actually, may I please have a pack of Marlboro gold cigarettes please?" I asked
"Well you have to be older than 16 to get cigarettes" she said with a smirk
" oh, their not for her, they're for me" Ned chimed in taking out his id, '15 June 2009' it read. The cashier took a while to read it and turned around grabbing the cigarettes and handing them to Ned along with his id.
"Thanks" I said with a smile. I then payed for my stuff and she bagged everything in the same bag.
"Thank you" I said as she stood there annoyed
" Thanks" Ned said as the both of us then left the store.
