I just graduated school this summer, and I was ecstatic. I was laying on my bed, looking through some college pamphlets when my mom knocked on my door.
"Louise! Do you want to come with me to Fresh Feed?" I rose off of my bed and slipped some tennis shoes on.
"Sure mom," I replied. I opened the door and she greeted me with a smile. My mother and I didn't always get along the greatest when I was younger, but as I got older, I realized how much I related to her. She's like my best friend now, and I don't know what I'd do without her. She grabbed my hand and we walked out to the car together and drove out to the store.
Once we arrived, mom took a cart over to the dairy section, and I headed toward the cereal aisle. I've been addicted to cereal lately, I eat it at all times during the day... It's kind of a problem. As I walked out of the aisle with an armful of boxes, someone bumped into me and I dropped them all over the floor.
"Hey! Watch where you're going..." I muttered.
"Ah, sorry," the man replied. I looked up at him, and my eyes widened. He was tall, blonde, and had a slight slouch in his posture. I recognized him, but from where?
"Yeah, well," I said, fixing my bunny ears, "Watch where you're going next time, okay?" He bent over and grabbed the cereal boxes for me.
"Yeah, I will, Louise." He said, smiling. My eyes widened even more as I took the cereal boxes from him.
"How do you know who I am?"
"You hated my guts like, 9 years ago. I stole your ears, remember?"
"...What? L-Logan?"
"The very same. I'm just more tame, now. I'm surprised you still wear those ears," he chuckled.
"They're connected to me... Might as well be sown into my scalp, ha-ha-ha..." I laughed nervously.
"Louise! Bring the cereal and put it in the cart!" My mom yelled from across the way.
"I-I gotta go, my mom's calling me." I brushed past him nervously and tossed the cereal in the cart like I was asked. I turned around to look at him, and he was gone.
"Who was that, hunny?" My mom asked.
"Oh, it was no one..." She didn't inquire further, and we finished our shopping trip in comfortable silence.
We returned home, and I helped mom put all of the groceries away before returning to my room to relax. I couldn't seem to get Logan out of my brain, and it was making me nauseous. A moment later, my phone beeped.
Hey, you manage to get me out of your head yet?
I was beyond confused.
Who is this..?
Oh, I think you know, bunny ears.
Logan?
The one and only.
How'd you get my number?
Your sister and I have stayed in touch.
I stood up immediately and marched up to my sister's room.
"TINA!" I yelled.
"Uhhhh... What?" She groaned.
"Why did you give Logan my number?"
"He asked, I figured it wasn't a big deal, I'm sorry Louise," my sister apologized. I rolled my eyes and went back down into my room. I couldn't help but silently thank my sister for giving my number to him. I smiled giddily at my phone, and silently cursed myself for feeling this way. I entered Logan's number into my phone with the simple name of "L".
