Grocery shopping

As I lie there, I sigh and think of the Hales' house. The Hales were like family to us, I do not know why, but after we moved we lost touch. How I miss those days. When Derek and I were enemies, he always thought he was better than me, it was so annoying. He loved to tease me. At the time he was twelve and I was six, I know the age difference was huge, but I was very smart for a six-year-old. Oh, his sister Cora was my best friend, we shared everything. We even dressed alike because we thought we looked like sisters. She was a year older than me. But she was really a Hale. She was just as ambitious as her family and always tried to be better. I really loved her for that.

I wonder what happened to them after we moved away. My family got on a plane and flew as far away from here as possible. Somehow we ended up in London. I did not even get to say goodbye. We just took off, and it was like the Hales just disappeared. I thought we would at least visit them, or maybe they would come to visit us. But I never asked, because after we moved away, it was taboo to even talk about the Hales. But now I am here in Beacon Hills, the town where it all started.

My parents would never let me return here. But they are not here to say anything now, so it would not matter. I lie there and slowly drift off to sleep. After two hours of sleep, I wake up, go downstairs, take a cup from the kitchen and fill it with water, which I drink quickly. I did not even realize how thirsty I was. I sigh and run my hand through my hair as I make myself a cup of coffee. I pour the coffee into my cup. This house has so many rooms that I can not even imagine how to decorate them. I thought of an art room with different art stuff, clay, painting, brushes. And a library. Well, I will not have to buy many books or shelves because there are already a bunch of shelves in this house with old books that I have not been there in a long time. I walk around the house, still with my cup of coffee in hand, and head to the library. I smile as I enter the room and the smell of books fills the room.

I smile cheerfully as I place my cup on the wooden table. As I walk to one shelf and the next, my hand slowly glides through the spines of books. I walk looking for a book that interests me until I see a book. The name of the book was Beacon hills creatures and myths. I raise my eyebrow slightly as I take the book off the shelf. I look at it and walk over to the sofa that is in front of the table. I sit down and open the first page of the book.

It's strange, why does not it have an author?

The pages I see have the words "Werewolf" written on them and after every mythical creature. there was a name. I see the name “Hales” but I just ignore it. I close the book and put it back in its place.

As I sit there, I drink my coffee before it gets too cold to drink. Then I go back to the kitchen.

I get up from my seat as I walk out and turn on the light. I walk over to the kitchen. I rinse my cup and go back to sleep.

I woke up the next morning after hearing the alarm clock. I groaned as I reached for my phone to close it. I get up and walk down the stairs. I open my bag and take out my clothes. Once I am done, I go downstairs to make breakfast. Then I sit there, enjoying the smell of the coffee and waiting for my phone to ring. I smile when I realize it's Spencer. He's been texting me.

Spence: hey.

me: hey Spence

Spence: did you make it to beacon hills.

me: yeah, safe and sound.

Spence: did you meet anyone when you got there?

Me: Not really, but I saw the Hales' house.

Spence: Really? Did you meet anyone?

Me: No, the whole house had burned down and there was hardly anything left of the house.

Spence: It does not look good, I have to go now, I have an exam now.

me: Good luck.

I smile at the screen. I exhale as I go and wash my dishes. I put them in the dishwasher. I smile to myself. Okay, now I need to write down what I have to do before school starts.

TO DO:

"Grocery shopping"

"buy stuff for my art room"

"order some new books

"𝘉𝘶𝘺 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘴"

"𝘉𝘶𝘺 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘧𝘧 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘺 𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙧𝙤𝙤𝙢" (𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦)

"𝘖𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴"

"𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘺 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘦"

I go to my refrigerator and attach a magnet to my to-do list. I look at the clock, it's almost 11 am. I go back to my room and change. I put on sweatpants and a hoodie. As I walk out of the house, I put on my shoes. It's a good thing my jeep is there. I thought it would take them longer to get it here, but I guess not. I get in my jeep, it's black.

after 15 min

I go to the store and buy the things I need, bread, milk, flour, sugar, pads, ketchup, just everything I need. I go and pick up my phone to check if I have everything I need. Without looking up, I turn.

I run into someone

Right into them.

I bump my head against his chest as he drops everything he had in his hands.

"Dude, watch where you are going" I say annoyed.

I look up and see this tall guy, he has no hair, it looks like it's growing back.

"Dude?" he says sarcastically.

"Are not you going to pick up your stuff?" I say and roll my eyes.

"rude much" He says, giving me back the same attitude.

I grin as I bend down to help him with his things.

"Stupid much" I say, handing him back some of his things. He smirks, obviously amused by the conversation.

"Thanks" he says with a small nod.

"This is probably a good time to tell you that you are in my way, so move it." I say.

He makes a hand gesture and gestures me to walk in my direction. I look at him and we make eye contact, his eyes were brown. As I walk my way.

I made it to the checkout. I see this long line of people. I stop and after a while, I feel someone behind me in the line. I do not know why, but I feel that the person is very close to me, but I can not blame them because everyone in line is close together. I pay for my things as I stand up to put my groceries in my bag. I look up as my gaze meets his. It's him again, the guy I bumped into. He looks at me from time to time as he pays for his stuff while I put my things in my bag. I walk out and put my stuff in the back of my jeep. I see him go out and walk towards another jeep, it is blue and looks a little old.

I get in my jeep and drive home.

after 15 min

I come home and bring my things into the house. I open the door, put my groceries down, and go into the kitchen where I put all my groceries in their place. I sigh and look at the clock, it's almost 1 pm. I stretch out. I walk towards the art room. I had some art supplies with me from my old home. I find the bag with my art stuff. I put my things down in the room. I grab a chair and take off my shirt. I go into my room and put on a pair of shorts and this loose gray shirt. I sit down, get out my paints and put my canvas on the board. I sit down, put on some music, and start painting.
