Crazy In Love

     I walked in the supermarket with Tommy by my side and looked at the shopping list. I sighed and walked in the different aisles looking for the demanded products and ingredients that aunt Lucy told me to buy. Tommy tugged on my arm and pulled my in another aisle, the one which displays cakes and chocolate.  I smiled at my small cousin and kneed in front of him so that we were now of the same height.

     "Listen Tommy boy" I said in a sweet voice. "Let's take what your mommy told us to buy first then we'll buy you some chocolate" I said and watched as his eyes lighten. "Okay?" I asked and he nodded enthusiastically. I took his hand back in mine and looked at the list again.

     Well, I guess you need a better introduction of me, right? Well, I'm Kimberly Ella Perry. I'm seventeen and I moved here one week ago. I was now leaving with my aunt Lucy and her husband Max and with my two cousins, Grace, who was of the same age as me and Tommy who was six years old. My parents are busy traveling over the world for their work so in order not to be left alone, they sent me here, with my aunt Lucy. I adored her. I was thrilled by the idea of living with her. I know that you'll say that I'm crazy or insane but I loved her more than my own mother. My parents never worried about me and sometimes, I felt like a burden for them. In a month, I would see them only one time.

    One day, my aunt Lucy called home and she had the brilliant idea of telling my mom to send me over hers. I couldn't help but yell in happiness. I hated living in a big house all alone, on my own with two maids. Guess what? I was more comfortable with the maids than my own parents. They knew me better than anyone else and I considered them more like family. They were heart broken that I was moving here but they knew that it was for the best. My cousin Grace is wonderful. She's more like my sister. She's the typical cheerleader type and would do anything for me. When she heard that I was moving at hers, she practically made me go deaf as she screamed in happiness right in my ears.

       My parents on the other side, had no specific emotion. It made them no difference whether I was home or not. They simply agreed and asked me to pack. They gave a

me a credit card in case I wanted to buy my own things hence not depending on my aunt. But I knew that If I wanted something, my aunt would buy it for me. My parents bought me a car so that it would be easy for me to move but somehow I knew that it was a way of bribing my love for them. I rolled my eyes at the thought.

     Today was Saturday and I was doing some shopping for aunt Lucy. I volunteered to take Tommy with me as I knew that Grace wouldn't have to patience to look after him and also because he was so damn cute. He would listen only to me and his father. If Aunt Lucy and Grace ask him to do something, he would simply stick out his tongue and run away.

     I'll be going to school on Monday. First day in this new school. I hated to be the new kid. I hated when I would be the center of attraction in this new school. But I was lucky enough to have my cheerleader of cousin going there.

     I looked at the last thing on my list and smiled as I got everything covered. I put the box of juice in my shopping basket. Tommy was jumping happily next to me and pulled me towards the chocolate aisle. I couldn't help but chuckle as this cute boy. "I want this one!" he said showing me a chocolate bar. I smiled and motioned him to put it in the basket.

     "Take more Tommy" I said with a smile and his eyes lighten and he gave me a toothy smile. Of course I was going to spoil him to death. I always wanted to have a little brother. I pulled my credit card as Tommy chose more sweets and chocolate. I was looking for a chocolate pack for Grace. She loves dark chocolate. I started looking in the different shelves. Suddenly, I bumped in a small body. I turned to look and saw a little girl. I smiled at her and she gave me a hesitant smile. She was looking at the chocolates with envy.
