chapter 3

.At Metro you worked through the list and threw everything into the bag you'd brought with you.
You found everything Jenna needed and it didn't even take longer than a good of 15 minutes.
Quickly you payed for your groceries and started to walk back home then.

By now it was raining a little bit so you started walking a little faster than usual to not get soaked once you got home. In order to get home quickly you didn't really pay attention to what was happening around you, and of course you managed to walk into another person.
It happened to fast for you to react, so you dropped your back and the groceries tumbled out of if, onto the sidewalk.
„Fuck I'm so sorry." You didn't bother to look up as you were trying to get your groceries back into the -by now soaked- paper bag. „Shit." you cursed and tried to carry the stuff in your arms.
„That wont work." The person spoke again and kneeled down as well.
„No shit Sherlock." You sounded more annoyed than you meant to. „Sorry."
The person chuckled and you finally looked up.
„Oh." was all you managed to say at this point.
„Hey." Shawn smiled and picked up the rest of the things that weren't in your hands by now.
„Shawn." You spoke and got up.
„You don't have to."
He laughed and pointed at your bag that was falling apart on the wet sidewalk.

„Ill walk you and your groceries home if thats alright."
You couldn't even disagree as he already started to walk away from you.
„Uhm okay?" It came out as a question.

For a couple of minutes of walking next to each other no one said anything until you spoke up:"Thanks."
He looked at you and smiled. That smile seemed familiar to you but you couldn't figure out why. Maybe he just had the same smile as someone you knew from home.
„You're welcome." He continued:"Are you new in town?"
Nodding you replied:"Yeah I just moved in with my aunt. Been wanting to live abroad for a while and thought this was my chance to see something new. I'm originally from (wherever you're from)."

He smiled again and asked:"So, is this like a rebellious teenage „i wanna get away from my parents" thing or did you really just want a fresh start?"
You chuckled at his choice of words. „Its really just a fresh start kind of thing. I graduated a couple of months ago but i think I'm gonna take some classes here as well, just to see how school works around
here."
He listened carefully
„So you're what, 19?"
-„18." you corrected him and he nodded.
„How old are you then?"
Shawn and you crossed a busy street and he then responded:"I turned 20 in August."
Your eyes lit up. „That makes you a Leo. I got Leo in my big three!"

Shawn gave you a look of pure confusion:"In your what?"
-„Ah nevermind, astrology stuff"

He didn't ask any more questions and just continued to walk, while in your head you were working like an Oompa Loompa. Knowing that he's a Leo gave you lots of Information about his personality. And you weren't disappointed so far.

„Here we are." You then spoke and pointed at Jenna's house.
After opening the door you led him to the kitchen. „Just put in on the counter, I'll clean up in a sec."
He did as told and gave you a weird look then.
„Thanks again. I dort know if I'd found a way to get all that home if it wasn't for you."
He started to laugh. „Well, you wouldn't have dropped your food if it hadn't been for me."
-„True." you stated and looked at him.
„Alright then." Shawn walked back to the hallway, you right behind him.

„Will I ever see you again or is this it?" He laughed and stepped towards the wooden front door.
„I don't know, maybe at Starbucks." Grinning you replied.
„Tomorrow same time?" He smiled cheekily and lifted an eyebrow. „Alright."

He smiled and left the hallway to step outside into the rain. „See you tomorrow then." You waved him goodbye and went back to the kitchen to put away the groceries.
Then you grabbed a snack and jumped onto the couch to watch some tv until Jenna got back.
For hours straight your eyes were glued to the Thriller that was on while your right hand kept diving into the chips bag.
And every once in a while that boy found his way into your mind and something in your stomach told you that he wouldn't leave anytime soon.
