My eyes widened, and I found it suddenly hard to breathe. There he was, Teddy Sanders, standing there with wide eyes and his jaw fallen slightly. He was obviously as surprised to see me as I was him, and as soon as he realized we both had our hands wrapped around the chocolate chip ice cream container, he'd let it go, it falling into my hand. I let out a cough as I dropped the ice cream into the shopping cart, moving to pass by him as if I'd never seen him. 

"Kiya wait!" Teddy called behind me, and I stopped in my tracks. I stayed where I was, unsure on whether or not I should turn and talk to him. Then again, I could also continue to walk away as if I didn't see him.

"Could we talk, please?" He pleaded, and I took a minute to think about what to say.

"Talk? About what?" I asked.

"Please don't act stupid, Ky. We both know that you're the complete opposite of that. Please, let me talk about everything that happened." Teddy said, and I couldn't help the tears that pricked the back of my eyes.

"Where do you want to meet?" I finally decided.

"The park. Seven."

I just walked away, finishing my shopping. After I got everything I need, I quickly checked out, putting the groceries in the car and putting my cart up before getting in my car and heading home.

It was hard not to just smile, at the fact that I saw Teddy. But I knew talking to him was no good. For one, my parents were really mad at him. Second of all, he hurt me, and I'm trying to avoid getting hurt again. Which means avoiding my feelings, and ignoring them. It was simple- Teddy and I fell in love too quickly, dated too quickly, just moved too quickly.

And it ruined us.

Sighing, I turned off the car, getting out and grabbing the groceries before making my way inside. My parents looked at me, before my dad walked over to help put the groceries away.

"You were gone for a while." He mumbled, starting a conversation with me.

After everything that happened with Nash and Teddy, my parents have tried to talk to me more, getting me to open up to them.

"I mean not really if you think about it. I was gone long enough just to get groceries and come home." I shrugged, taking a moment to look at the ice cream before putting it in the freezer.

"Mhm, I see. And why were you just sitting out there in your car with a giant smile on your face for like three minutes?" He asked, not believing me.

"She met a boy!" My mom said out of nowhere, a big smirk on her face.

"What? No." I denied, feeling my face start to meet up.

Of course I did, he just happened to be one I've known and one that you don't like.

"C'mon Ky, tell me. Us. Did you meet someone?" My dad asked, a look on his face that I couldn't read.

"Maybe, but it wasn't anything or anyone important." I said, beginning to mess with the cookies on the plates by arranging them neatly.
