The Bucket List || Jordan Hanna

4

We get to the store and I pull out my phone with the shopping list from my notes. "So how are we going about this?" Jordan asks grabbing a cart. "Well you want to grab the soap and I'll get Twister and we meet back in the office supply section?"

"Okay umm two questions... Liquid or Bar and why?" "Liquid and 9. Put soap in a public fountain."

"Of course, that's exactly what you would have on your bucket list." "Well you're the one who agreed to this crazy thing." "Fine, I'll go get the soap." He starts to head off to the bath section and I go towards the kids section.

After a minute of looking I found Twister and headed towards the office supply section. Surprisingly Jordan was already there. I toss the game in the basket and turn towards the wall of journals.

After a little bit of time I hear Jordan ask, "You have been staring at this shelf for 5 minutes straight with a look of determination... looking for anything in particular?"

"Composition or spiral?" I ask. "Does it matter?" "Composition or spiral?" I repeat. Jordan rolls his eyes at me, "Spiral I guess." "No way, that would be terrible to make a quote book out of." I say grabbing two plain composition books.

"Well then why did you ask?" "Just to bug you." "Well that's a fantastic reason now isn't it?" His sarcasm showing, yet again.

"Well anyways pick a coloring book", I squat down to grab a coloring book from the lower shelf. "Well Ms. Know-it-all what one should I get?" I scan the shelf and let out a laugh as I grab a princess one and hand it to him. "Oh haha very funny." "Come on pick one." I tell him. "Fine how about this one?" He says grabbing one off the shelf.

"Looks good enough to me." I take it from him and drop it in the basket. I toss in some pens, colored pencils, and markers. "Okay now on to the scrapbook stuff." "Okay let's go."

We spend a little time getting the scrapbook supplies then move on to getting the paints. I grab the red, blue, yellow, and green ones for the twister game. "Okay what other colors?" "Your list you pick." Jordan tells me. I grab orange and purple to complete the rainbow then move on to the water balloons.

"What else do we need?" Jordan asks me. "Mostly food but I still need to grab some white sneakers." "Okay, let's go."

We start heading over to the shoe section when I slip and fall. Took me a second to realize what happened but by the time I did Jordan was busting out laughing.

Through his laughs he was able to say, "Did you not see the wet floor sign? Thanks for doing that though because now you're ass first on the floor and I'm dying laughing at you." "Yeah yeah whatever just help me up." He reaches out a hand to me and pulls me up, still laughing. "Oh shut up already." I tell him grabbing the cart and starting to walk off.

I get to the shoe section and find a white pair of converse in my size. "Do you want to do this one?" I ask him. "What is this one anyways?" He asks. "34. Buy a white pair of shoes and draw on them." "Sure, why not." "Okay let's go pick your pair then."

We get the shoes and head over to the grocery section. "Okay so can you get the spaghetti noodles, spaghetti and pizza sauce, and taco shells." I ask him. He nods and heads down a different isle and I head to the baking isle.

I get the flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and yeast. Jordan comes down the isle with his things in hand. "Not to be rude but why exactly are u buying 3 bags of flour and 2 bags of sugar?" "Flour war, and flour is pretty much in every recipe, sugar is too but smaller amounts." I explain crossing them off my list, "Now on to the dairy section."

We get everything that we need from the dairy section and we are down to the last few items on my list. "Okay, pie fillings and pizza toppings." "I call the pizzas." Jordan says already rushing off to gather the toppings.

I head over and start scanning the shelves. 'Well we're smashing this in each other's faces so do we need to make an actual pie or just do whip cream?' I think to myself. I reach out and grab pudding boxes, these will work just fine.

I head over to where Jordan ran to and find him surrounded by cans. "I left you alone for a minute and you managed to knock over all the fucking cans? Wow!" I say approaching him. "Says the one who flopped on the floor earlier." He snickers out. "Oh well I was gonna help you but whatever." I mock crossing my arms. "Get your butt down here and help me."

I roll my eyes at his statement and kneel down, helping with the cans. It takes us awhile but we get all the cans back on the shelves in the right spot. "Okay, so what do you got for the pizzas?"

I start to go through all the things he grabbed and sigh, "No, we don't need 5 bags of marshmallows!" I say lifting all the bags up. "Fine, I'll put some back, but that's everything right?" He asks. I scan over my list and nod my head yes. We put the marshmallows back and head over to the checkouts.

We stand in line waiting when I see the bag of pop rocks. I grab two packs and toss them in the shopping the cart. "And what are those for?" "37. Make out with someone with pop rocks in our mouths." I tell him.

"Well aren't you optimistic?"

"Yes I am."
