This is the third time, and i swear it gets shorter every time, so imma write it all an upload it straight away and hope it doesn't delete. Its not gonna be perfect, I have a half hour.

"So, you're British," Mitch stated as we headed to he supermarket, except they don't call them supermarkets here. They call them grocery stores or something.

"Yeah. I literally moved here yesterday. well, early today. Thats why I don't really know anyone or how to get anywhere."

"Aww, well now you know us," Scott said. "Here, gimme your phone." I'm popular today, I thought, handing it over.

I looked around as he typed quickly.

"There, now its official,"

When he gave it back, I scrolled through my contacts to find two new ones.

Bestfriend #1

Bestfriend #2

"But which ones which?" I whined.

"Ah, but that's half the fun," Scott said, winking. Mitch looked over my shoulder and laughed.

"Shut up," I grumbled. "I will find out!" That just made them laugh harder. I stomped my foot, pouting and looking up at Scott.

"Uh uh. Not gonna work," he said between laughs. I stormed ahead, before quickly realising that I didn't know where I was going and turning back around sheepishly.

By this point, they had stopped moving and were doubled over, clutching their sides and crying with laughter. I just stood there, watching them. Eventually, I laughed too, and it took us about five minutes for us to get our breath back, leaning against each other for support.

"C'mon. Food," I said.

[==]

Once in the store, we all got a trolley and I looked around.

"Where to start, where to start.."

"ICE CREAM," Scott said, dragging us to the frozen isle.

"Don't we start with veg?.. You know what, nevermind," I said, as I spotted the ben&jerrys.

Having got ice cream and oven chips and a packet of frozen mixed veg, as well as going to the fridges and picking up milk, orange juice and butter, and to the 'home' bit for stuff i needed, we headed to the dry foods part, which was almost empty. After we got what we needed, I looked around carefully before smirking at the boys.

"RACE YOU" I said suddenly, pushing my trolley along the isle. To their credit, they responded immediately, running to catch up and dodging each other. they almost beat me. Almost.

"Haha, i won," I said breathlessly.

"Yeah, yeah, let's just pay and go."

We paid and left. It was still gorgeous out, and even though I wasn't yet confident with navigating I began recognising things.

"These bags are cutting off my circulation," Mitch moaned.

"Get over it, we are almost there," Scott said.

"Wait, woah woah woah. I live there," I said, stopping and pointing a little ways down the road that we were at the corner of.

"Wait huh? We live just there!" Scott pointed around the corner to another block.

"That's convenient! Can we dump our bags and come visit?" Mitch asked. I agreed, before telling them my apartment number. We parted ways, them agreeing to come over in twenty minutes.

I arrived home, before packing away the shopping and deciding to unpack a little. Twenty minutes later, my room was covered in posters, my bookshelf and DVD rack were both part filled, there was a clock on the wall and a photo of darci was pinned to the fridge.

The intercom buzzed, and I went to the door.

"Hey?"

"Hey, it's Scott and Mitch" - Mitch mumbled something,and Scott laughed before continuing. "Can we come up?"

I'm sorry, it was short, but I was tired, and it's past midnight anyway. Also, Sorry for the quality, I can't let wattpad delete it again.

As always, let me know what you think, and thanks for reading.
