"Mom, I can't be in public like this." I groaned as my mother dragged me by my arm into the local pharmacy. "Why can't I stay in the car?"

"I need you to go get a few things while I pick up your prescription." she says, handing a ripped piece of notebook paper to me. I glance down at it, observing a list of toiletries. I roll my eyes and turn the other way, coughing into my arm as I make my way towards oral care for toothpaste.

I would rather not be around the public when I'm sick like this; it's awfully embarrassing. I look and feel like complete crap, and if I see anyone I know, I might cry of humiliation.

I get the toothpaste, soap, shampoo, etc. and go back to find my mom. We wouldn't have to get all these things more often than the average family if we didn't live with so many dang people. I wouldn't mind all of my siblings if they actually acknowledged me. That's where I'm a hypocrite, though, because I know if they tried to talk to me I would say something rude or tell them to leave me alone.

I find my mom already picking up my medicine and I set everything on the counter for the boy behind the cash register. My eyes lock with his and I immediately hate my whole life. I look absolutely horrible, and he is extremely cute... So cute, I almost don't notice the exhausted bags under his intriguing hazel eyes and the frown he holds on his lips.

I turn my head quickly and look down at my feet. I stare at my worn down, dirty blue converse as I wait for him to scan our items.

"Shouldn't you be in school?" the boy asks me and I look up, raising an eyebrow at him.

"I'm picking up medicine, and I look like shit, do I look like I should be at school right now?"

He chuckles, his cheeks turning a light pink. "Right, uh sorry."

I cough again, feeling one of those horrifying cough attacks coming along but I try to hold it in. That wasn't a good idea, I realize after a weird noise comes out of my mouth from trying to hold in the cough. The boy laughs at me and my cheeks redden in embarrassment, matching his.

My mom pays for our items, handing me the bag before we walk out. I turn back to look at the boy one more time, hoping he wasn't looking in my direction. He wasn't- thank God. I glanced at his name tag at the last minute.

Shawn.

He looks like he could be around my age, probably a year or two older. Shouldn't he be in school, too?

"That boy was flirting with you." my mom snickers as we get into the car.

I roll my eyes. "No, he wasn't. Do you see me? That was so embarrassing, I can't believe he saw me when I look like this." I huff, leaning my head against the window.

She laughs while pulling back onto the highway. "At least you'll never see him again."
