A Tale of Love (EXCHANGE LOVE #1)

Hulk Wannabe

Sophie

Why do they put everything so far up at the supermarket?, I mean common people not everyone has the hight for it, am average size, I mean I know am not tall at all, but this has to be a joke, not even jumping I can seem to grab the freaking coffee. "C'est des conneries"(translation: this is bullshit) I said exasperated as I tried to jump high enough to reach it.

Suddenly I feel myself being watched, I turned around and saw a guy, he looks like a freaking giant dressed in green, I mean his shirt, jeans and sneakers were all the freaking same color, he's just standing there with his arms crossed and his face looking at me with an amused expression.

Holy motherfucking shit! it might be the fact that he was enjoying my torment or that he was watching me like a stalker, but I just snapped at him. "Are you having fun, or are you just busy there hoping to grow more muscle? Either you help me get the coffee, or move along. I am running late , and I don't want to entertain a Hulk wannabe like you" that blew entirely his smug expression which turned to a regretful stare as he said "Sorry, I didn't mean to stare, let me help you" and with that he just grabbed me by the waist and busted me up "Woah! what the- couldn't you just get it?"

"Where is the fun in that shortie " I just ignored his remark and grabbed my coffee.

"I got it, you can put me down now" he set me gently on my feet and said "There, all good?, you don't need anything else from up there shortcake?"

"No am good, thank you... what's you name hulk?"

"Hulk really? is it cause of the green, or the muscle?" he said smiling, when I didn't answer and just stared, he continued " We go to school together Sophie?... my name is Trevor Newman ",  like that explains anything.

"I am still new in town, and we have never talked before, so how could I know who you are?" we started walking towards the cash registers.

"Well I guess that's fair" he glanced down to his foot, and then returns his hazel eyes on me, almost trying to figure me out with his look. "Thank you again for the help getting my coffee, I swear this people think we are all giants" I moved around to put my things in the register, I paid the amount to the cashier, and putted my things in the cart ready to go when I felt a hand grabbing me by the wrist "Let me walk you out Shortcake"

"That fine, I don't need a hero to take my bags" I said

"I know you got it sweetheart, I am just trying to be the gentleman I was taught to be, you know with my mother staring an all " he said pointing to a beautiful lady with blonde hair and blue eyes just like Trevors's, standing near the exit waving at us.

"Is that your mom?" he nodded, we walked toward her and she smiled "Hey mom, this is Sophie the new foreign student" do even the parents know am new?, I guess this is what small towns are like.

"Hello sweetie, nice to finally meet you" she said smiling sweetly, she turned to Trevor "Honey, am sorry I can't take you to your basketball practice, I have to get to work cause there is an emergency at the firm" she looks regretful at her son who looked sad about her change of plans. 

"That's ok, I can walk there"  Whaaat? its like 3 miles away!, he must be crazy.

"I could drop you off"I suddenly offered, the school was on the way to my home from the market so it really was no trouble.
