Stay Close

Blue Razz and Watermelon

   We stepped inside and I got a whiff of the cigar aroma. I never liked smoking. Just for the fact I do things for myself, and I keep my body safe and healthy. I wondered if someone else was here.
   When I looked at the checkout desk I made contact with an unfamiliar face. I had never seen him before. He was tall, and kind of built rather than muscular. He had messy, brown hair that fell in front of his face. He was wearing a plaid, green flannel that personally I would've worn. He didn't look up, which the other normally smiles at you.
   I turned my focus towards the slushies. I got a medium cup and filled it to the top with blue razz and watermelon. If you haven't tried it, you haven't lived yet. I put the lid on and turned over to Ethan.
   "What flavor do you want?"
   He turned his head to see what I was talking about, then shouted back a lemonade. We then went to chip aisle. He got Cheetos, I got Fritos. This is the usual.
   We grabbed a few candy bars and a pack of gum just for the soul purpose of Ethan having money to spend. We headed towards the register and placed our items on the counter. The man slowly looked up to see our faces, then put his focus back on scanning the food. After he bagged our items, he didn't make eye contact.
   "Thank you, sir." Ethan stated.
   He gave a slight wave and we started towards the exit. All of or stuff was in one bag, which was kind of over-filling, but I didn't mind though. We stepped in the car and, of course, he starts blasting music. This went on for the whole ride home.
