Look Me In The Eyes...**(OFF hold)**

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

 I entered through the electronic doors of Wegman and was soon hit with all the aromas in the bakery and everything that the chef's were preparing fresh to put out on display. I made my way to my favorite person here. I caught sight of her red curly hair.

"Hey Dawn! How's business today?" I asked my co-worker. she turned around with a clipboard in hand and gave me a warm smile. Dawn was somewhere in her thirties but she was the nicest one here.

   "it's slow honey, don't worry. Just stack these up in aisle 3. Kay, darlin?" she said in her strong jersey accent as she handed me a box of Hunts Tomato Sauce cans.

   Uh oh..stacking. Let's just hope I don't embarass myself. Or let's hope no ones there to WITNESS me embarass myself. As if school didn't succeed in already doing that. Especially today during lunch. Ugh.

  I grabbed the cart of the boxes of heavy cans and wheeled my self to the aisle. Almost running over toddlers in the process. I don't know why, but I love my job. Even though I don't do it well.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Now I'm Speechless...overthe edge im just breathless...i never thought that-" my awesome singing was interrupted. 

  "Excuse me? Can someone help me?"Said a voice behind me

  I turned around, my dark bronze hair getting in my eyes.  My eyes were expecting to be met with the eyes of a confused man or maybe even a young father but I was wrong. Instead I true face of a boy about my age with sandy brown hair and cute little dimples. For the second time today, a met someone who I couldn't look in the eye. Because this boy was wearing shades. what is up with that? He was looking off to the side. I guess he didn't notice me. Not the first time this has happened.

Oh well even if this customer maybe rude to not meet my eyes, i have to do my job, so I put away my work for now and made my way over to him with a small grin on my face.

 "Um Hi, what can I do for you, I'm an employee here" I replied.

  He turned towards the direction if my voice and smiled making his pearly whites show and his dimples pop out. In all, he was attractive.

 "Oh really?"

"Why so you sound so surpised?" i questioned.

"You sound young enough to go to my school" he said.

"Well I do go to the high school here, Kingsley High."

"No way! I just transferred to that high school! Today was my first day."

WHAT?

I stood there with my mouth hanging open like an idiot.

How can someone as friendly and adorable as him go to a joke of a school like mine. I soon collected my voice.

"R-really? I don't remember seeing you around. Anyway, what D-did you need, um...-" i paused realizing i dont know his name.

"it's Jerry."

"Rose" i cleared my throat. "okay, what did you need ...Jerry."

 "Oh right! Could you Take me to the frozen food aisle? My friend left me to get the rest of the groceries."

"Um sure. Follow me."

  I led him casually to the frozen section, which wasn't too far away. When I looked back I sometimes saw he stopped walking and I had to call his name to get him to follow me.

 "Here we are!" I stated like a museum tour guide as we approached the freezing tundra of the Wegmans refrigerator section. Immediately my bare arms had mountains of goosebumps.

" Thanks." He said as I walked away

"Darn! How am I gonna find it by myself"I heard him loudly mumble to himself. I turned around.

"What are you looking for? It seems like you need help." I creeped. Admiring his totally flawless creamy colored skin. Nothing like my horribly pale skin that tans in the summer.

"Oh thank god you're still here! I'm looking for umm...looking for.." he stopped and looked down. scratching the back of his neck.

"Looking for.... " i raised my eyebrow allowing him to continue

"Tater tots. " he blurted out."I'm kinda addicted to them." he said a bit ashamed. A faint color of pink reaching his cheeks and he looked down a bit. I let out a laugh.

" Don't feel bad! I frickin LOVE tater tots! I know EXACTLY where they are." I said pointing to the shelf a few feet away. He continued to look at me. I was confused. And then it hit me.

Him constantly getting lost, looking at me onlywhenhe hears my voice. HE'S BLIND!

 I got a bag of tater tots out and handed it to him. It's sad that a guy as cute as him can't even how good looking he is. I could barely tell he was blind though. He's very good at using his other senses.

"are you, by chance, blind?" I blurted out and instanly covered my mouth after I said that.

STUPID ROSE! why do you always have to say what comes to your mouth?! UGH.

 After I got over my rudeness I apologized

...

"sorry, I didn't me-"

I stopped as I heard him chuckle and looked at him confused.

"Took you long enough. Haha it's okay. And yeah I am."

I gave him a half shocked n half confused look but before I said anything, he cut me off.

" Yeah I know what your going to say, 'you don't act blind'. That's cuz I don't. I don't know why but my other senses are stronger and I can hear and feel everything."

"Wow" is all I said.

"Rose Channing, please report back to aisle three, Rose Channing." boosted the Loud speaker.

"Shoot! I gotta get back to work but I'll try to find you tomorrow at school okay? I can help you around if your 'awesome senses' decide not to work." I suggested to him with a grin.

He laughed. "I surely wouldn't mind the company."

"Well, bye Jerry! Enjoy those tots!" I said as I Turned around and ran back to my unfinished boxes. Trying not to trip over my new gray converse in the process.

"Goodbye Rose and thanks!"

 As I got back to my aisle I saw Dawn standing there and looking for something. No, someone. Me.

"Rose, what took you so long? What the heck were you doing?"

"umm..I..,I-"

 Oh you know the usual, I thought in my head. I went to help out this totally hot dude named Jerry that just transferred to my school find a bag of frozen tater tots. Oh and he also   happens to be blind but doesn't act like it at all.  Amd now were kinda friends. Yup, just a normal day.
