"Gran I want to go out!"I said as sweetly as possible to my grandma at breakfast.
"Where do you possibly wanna go here?There are no shopping malls,no disco,nothing that could interest a young town girl!"She said as she sipped her tea.
I puffed out smiling."Gran,you really thought I was among those fake barbie girls that love to visit discos and get high?"
"Oh of course no darling.I know my granddaughter is not a sl*t.But in those new shows,these are what normally interest young modern girls."
My mouth fell open at her words.I never knew my grandma got so modern.
"What I meant gran was that I wanted to take a stroll,enjoyed the beautiful nature around and breathed some fresh air outside."
"Oh I see.Then perhaps you could go to the supermarket for me.I need some groceries."
"Oh sure gran.Just give me the list."I said as I stuffed my mouth with the last piece of pancake.

As it was cold here,I tied my red scarf around my neck.I made sure they matched my blue jeans and red blouse,just for the sake of personal satisfaction.I took an umbrella with me as the weather seemed grey and set out on finding the supermarket.
As I walked,I took the time to admire around.Trees surrounded the areas with wood houses rather than big builings.The air seemed fresh and the sun tamed.Chirps of birds filled the ears.The people seemed nice as they greeted and smiled politely at me.Some even took the time to stop and talked to me,asking me if I was the granddaughter of Annie Tran and questionning about the health of my parents.They even complimented on my growing-up into 'a very beautiful girl' and I could not helped but blush.
Then finally I found the sole supermarket here,"John's Sup."It was small in height but large in size.
I quickly made my way in,took a basket and started selecting the required products.Then I queued up and paid.I could not help but stare at the cashier.He had light brown hair, emerald green almond eyes and full lips and the top of the iceberg, he seemed young,probably twenty or twenty-one.He was just perfect and especially when he smiled at me when he had noticed my eyes glued on him.It was so embarrassing that I fumbled on my money and he smirked.
When i finally managed to get hold over my teenage hormones,I wet my lips and bit on the lower one before handing him the money.He thanked me and gave me a plastic bag before actually winking at me.At first I was shocked but then I blushed hard and quickly got out.
I took out my earphones and tapped on Colors by Halsey on my phone.Then I locked it and put it in the plastic bag.I began walking,head down,thinking about that handsome boy at the supermarket.I wondered if he really found me attractive.I should have probably asked him his name.'Oh Shut Up Lisa.Get a grip on yourself.You were never like this.'My conscience mocked me.Stupid Teenage hormones and puberty!
Suddenly I felt a hard chest bump into my head and I dropped the plastic bag on the floor.Oh hell!The tomatoes!!!!!My earphones also fell from my ears before I lost balance and landed on the ground too.
My eyes found their way up to meet the blue eyes of a rather slim boy.Suddenly I felt washed by a feeling of deja vu,those eyes,I had seen them before but could not remember where or when.
"I am sorry!"He said in a rude tone.His voice was rough and I noticed a piercing on his thin pink lips as he talked.Then there were two on his right eyebrow.
He kneeled down to my side and started pick up my things and placed them in the plastic bag that hopefully did not get torn.
I shook my head before giving him a hand.Unfortunately,half of grandma's tomatoes got squashed.
"Humm..thanks..and sorry!"I blabber when I had finally picked up everything.
"You're welcome!"He pressed his lips together in a fade smile and rubbed his back-neck before dashing away.
Wow!That was an awkward encounter.

Once home,I dropped the bag on the kitchen table and threw myself lazily on one of the couches.
"Gran,I'm home.Where are you?"I shouted.
"I'm at the back sweetheart,collecting the dried clothes!"I heard grandma's faded voice.

I switched on the television and Dean's face came in view.It was perfect timing to watch Supernatural,eventhough it was an episode I had already watched.
But my mind seemed drizzled about that blue-eyed boy.He seemed so strange in that black sleeveless t-shirt and black trousers.He appeared so dark and mysterious.But there was also that glimpse of innocence,guilt,regret and sadness in his eyes.
"What the hell happened to these tomatoes?"Grandma's voice dragged me back into reality.
Oh shit!I forgot to tell her.
"Oh yeah sorry gran.Someone accidentally bumped into me and..."Wait,actually it was me who bumped into him.
"And?"
"and the bag fell on the ground..and...the tomatoes fell also...and my phone also....and..well everything 'accidentally' fell" I blabbered innocently.
"Oh young girls nowadays.They are always distracted!"Grandma said with a sigh."Anyways come and get your earphone!"
"Yeah one sec!"I quickly got out of the couch and went to fetch my earphone when I noticed that my phone was not there.
"Gran you have not seen my phone in the bag?"
"Hmm black-colored with a big smiley sticking its tongue out on the cover?"Gran asked.
"Yeah that's it!"My heart lept with relief.
"No.I have not seen it."
What????What the hell do you mean by you have not seen it?????Where could it had possibly gone?I put in the bag myself!!!!
"You're sure?"My voice was filled with worry.Maybe grandma did not pay attention to it.Maybe she did not see it due to old age.
"Yes baby.Do you think I have gone blind due to old age?"Grandma said sarcastically.
"Oh well no."
God where could had been my phone??
I started to climb the stairs to check if it was in my room but then I remembered that I had never been up since I had reached home.
Then suddenly it hit me.My phone had also fallen on the ground and that boy was picking up my things.
"Oh Bloody F*cking thief!He stole my phone while I was staring at him like a fool!"I screamed out loud out of frustration."Oh my God!What am I gonna do?"I asked myself."Yeah call on it.Maybe just maybe hopefully he had picked it up and would say that he was sorry and that he picked it up mistakenly."
I quickly dialled my number on the homeline.But there was no answer as it kept ringing."F*ck!"I screamed.
I had just lost my phone!
