I'm at Romero's.  The biggest supermarket in the town.
I picked a trolley and all the stuff I required in it.

    In a while,  it formed a heap which was ready to fall on floor anytime.
   I was struggling to push it now.
    "Uh..... I hate shopping. Please don't fall. " I muttered to myself.

  " Do you always speak to yourself or  the things which can't reply ?"
The voice caused me to jump and guess what?.... The heap of stuff was now on the floor.

"Thanks for this." I said motioning towards the stuff to gather it. I didn't  bother to look back.

   I was joined in by a pair of new hands helping. I followed the muscular arms all the way up to the face.
It was the guy from the last night.
Tj.

    "So we meet again... " he said handing me the gathered stuff.

" Thanks for the help."

   "Not a big deal and if you go in deeper, it was because of me. "

   We both chuckled. Then we stood there in silence for a while.
He finally broke the silence.

" so you are the new keeper of the Campbell house... "

" how would you know that? "

" We were right there when you left us in the middle of the conversation. That was rude."

" My mom called up, wasn't left with any other options."

     "So you alone or with family? "

   " I moved here all by myself." I sounded a bit sad.
He nodded as in OK. He probably would have sensed my loneliness.
   
      "So friends? " he smiled and extended his hand for me to shake.

"Friends." I replied.

        "We should hangout sometime. Why don't you join me and my friends for the lunch today?"

   " I would love too,  but I've plans. " I lied.

   A voice cut in
"So the new girl already has plans. Ooo sassy."
Not Travis again.

     "Hi, Tessy. Nice to meet you again. "
  
Well not everyone calls me Tessy,it's exclusive for the close ones. But no one ever called me that since we moved out of this place. I told everyone that it made me a little uncomfortable knowing the fact ,that Logan called me Tessy.
  

   " HI,  Travis ...nice to meet you too and by the way it's Teresa." I snapped.
I looked at Tj, who was now looking down thinking about something deeply.
 
Travis threw his hand in surrender.

  " Girl I meant no harm. I was just trying be friendly. "

    " I would go by Tess instead."

"okay, captain."  we both giggled.

Tj still hadn't joined us. I don't know what kept him too engrossed.

" So what are you doing here? " Travis asked.

I looked behind Travis to find Tj normal again.

" What do you do at supermarkets?..."
I said with a duh tone.
Tj chuckled, with his hand grazing his hair.

"I like this girl already." Travis said throwing his hand around my neck.
Tj smiled showing the set of white beauty in there. He looked like Greek god. I didn't notice him too properly earlier.
             Ok well may be I did.
Yesterday was just a trailer I suppose, plus it was dark.

" So guys I gotta go.  See you later."

" you are going home right, we live near by. We can drop you. " Tj was a gentleman no doubt.

" No, I can go by myself. It's no big deal."

" Stop being formal, Tess. Now that we are friends I guess this won't work."  Travis as usual.

     After we got our billing done. Tj and Travis kept my bags in the back seat.
"So would you like to sit front or back? " Tj asked.

        " Back will work." I said not wanting to take away the shotgun from Travis. He looked happy and pulled me in a big hug.

     We took our seats. And we talked.  They told me that they had the movie night today, so were shopping the food items for tonight.

       After pulling over in my driveway, they both helped me with the bags.

" Thanks for the help guys."

      "So be ready at 6." Travis commanded.
For what? I was just about the frame my thoughts in words.

Before I could speak anything.i was cut off by Tj.

" No whys, whats and no's. You are joining for the movie night. "

Again before I could reply they had already walked away towards the car.
I face palmed myself.
It was weird that I had made friends in such a short notice.

   As I moved towards,  the couch I started wondering about Logan.  Where would he be?  How was he now?

Not that I care or I want to forgive him,  but out of curiosity.
