zach was laying on his stomach on his bed, fidgeting with his hoodie strings as he spoke to his best friend jack on the phone. his legs swung about as a giggle elicited from his lips, falling over onto his back and staring at the ceiling.

"i just..." he lets out a sigh. "i don't know jack. do you really think that a happily ever after exists?" he speaks into the phone. "do ya reckon that i could find my 'true love'?"

"i don't know, zach." jack sighs. "all i know is that i think i found true love last night." zach couldn't see him but he knew he was grinning big and blushing.

"oh my god! i completely forgot about your date with that boy!" zach yells. "i need to know all the juicy details. what was the boys name again?"

"daniel."

"he sounds like a sexy man." zach giggles.

"he is." jack says softly. "hey you should come over with some snacks and i can tell you all about it. you can stay the night too because mum and dad are on a business trip." jack implies. his parents are always doing something with work and his sisters are always doing who knows what.

"yeah i'll come over. cya in fifteen." he smiles and jack says a quick 'bye' before hanging up. zach rolls off his bed and grabs some clothes he needs for the next day, shoes and fixing his hair up in the reflective surface of his phone. he walks down the stairs and is met with his mother on the living room couch. "hey mum i'm going to jacks!" he yells.

"ok hunny, be safe! love you!" she quickly yells as he opens the the front door. his mum got kinda used to him going to jacks after he has done it almost every day after school and almost every weekend. he yells back a 'love you' before closing the door, placing his hands in his pocket and beginning the walk to the store. the walk wasn't long, only about five minutes, and the walk to jacks was only five minutes away from the store so he had heaps of time. the cold air brushed onto his skin, creating his chubby cheeks and small, slopey nose to turn a baby pink.

he enters the small shop, met with warm filtered air. he sighs at the comforting temperature and heads to the isle that has all the candy. he paces to the further end and looks for his and jacks favourite candy:

strawberry clouds.

he finds them quickly since he purchases the item a lot before going to a different isle to find a snack for him and jack.

he runs his eyes through the rows of unhealthy chips before laying his eyes on the ones he likes:

original flavoured potato chips.

he never really liked the different flavours of chips. he was a very simple young man who like simple and plain things. he didn't like too much but he didn't like too little. he liked it just right. he smiled and cringed at the loud noise the crinkly plastic bag made when he grabbed them so eagerly.

he took a few paces to his right before coming to a bag of chips that jack absolutely adored. he loved this one particular flavour and type of chip. he never liked the ones that were similar to it because to him, it just 'wasn't the same'.

thinly cut, honey soy chicken potato chips.

zach giggled lightly at the thought of jack loving these chips too much when he tried to reach for them. he blanked out of his train of thought when the bag was almost touching his fingertips. they were just so conveniently placed on the very top shelf, too high for his reach. he scrunched his eyebrows in frustration and tried again to reach, stretching up onto his tippy-toes.
