"Hey! Watch-"he said angrily. The face that was wrinkled which was caused by anger and  then he was smiling brighter and it was getting brighter.

Not long after that, I realized that it was Zach. The face that I always wanted to see.

He was standing there, giving me his hand to help me out. His eyes were watching me as I stood up.

"What are you doing here?" he asked.

"I was about to ask that too"

"Um, me? Nothing much. Just swimming around while waiting for my Mum " he laughed right after saying it.

"Right", I giggled.

We were both laughing, until someone cut it off.

"Well no wonder you were taking so long", said the voice coming right behind me.

"Hello, Mrs. Marais" said Zach with an awkward smile.

OH CRAP! IT'S MUM.

"Hey, mum", I laughed awkwardly.

It was so awkward and I noticed Zach fidgeting.

"I thought you were lost or something but turns out you were just lost in someone's eyes",she winked.

"MUM! OH MY GOD! STOP IT", I said while covering my face with the balls of my palms, feeling embarrassed.

Zach blushed a little, and left to find for his mother after a while.

I looked at the trolley and it was hella full. No wonder she needed my help. I checked the list she was holding.

 The list that she prepared last night because it's end of the month. We call it the the-end-of-the-month-grocery-shopping because we only shop at the end of the month. Before making ourselves to the cashier, I ran to grab ice-cream.

 Obviously, chocolate chips and vanilla. Mum just looked at me and rolled her eyes. I gave her the-innocent-Jessica-smile.

I yelled out Jonah, from the porch because there were loads of stuffs to carry. But I didn't hear any reply.

I rolled my eyes and continued carrying the stuffs with my Mum. I glanced at my watch and it was 5 in the evening.

"Mum, do you have any idea on where Jonah is?" I asked.

"In his room? Did you check in his room?"

I quickly went up to his room. I checked everywhere and he wasn't anywhere.

Where the hell he went?

So, I gave up on finding for him but Mum forced me to give him a call. I dialed his number again and again but he did not answer.

"What happened to him?!", my Mum said, almost crying with the-badly-worried-of-her-missing-son look.
