Hey, sorry for the long time since my last update, I've been pretty busy lately ;D
Chapter 8 – This World II
I walked around for a while, absorbing the town's tempo, the unfamiliar new atmosphere. I felt so beyond this small town and its people. This little town was my anti-thesis.
The whole 'lone wolf' act was not new to me, but being here really accentuated it. I don't think I can relate to these people, they seem different, they talk different and they even dress different, smalltowners...
Luckily, I don't have to start school this week, since it's already Thursday, I won't need to deal with school 'till Monday and that's a great relief, cause saying that I'm a little out of it when it comes to school, will be a huge understatement.
I practically haven't been to school in New York and taking authority nor being subject to adults in general, was really not my thing ever. At least, I think the academic part won't be much of a problem, it never was one before.
Noon came and was almost gone, and my stomach started giving me signs that I should grab something to eat. I acknowledged the fact that my uncle owns a diner, actually it kind of reminded me of Eddie's, and it would be a free lunch, but I didn't feel like dealing with him just yet, so I decided to just grab something at the grocery store I saw before.
The moment I walked into the store, in search of something edible, I felt as if someone was following me. I've already noticed that people around here were a little strange and quite nosy, so I guess I was kind of an attraction, being the newest resident in town.
Living in New York all my life and working for Adrian, had really sharpen my instincts. Without letting my follower being aware of it, I took a glimpse at his figure.
An obese man, pretty old, grey hair, strange, strange taste for clothing...
A fluffy white cardigan and grey old pants. Extra nosy character.
I walked slowly, enjoying the game he was playing with me. I moved between the aisles, walking in circles for a while, him tailing me suspiciously, until I decided it was no fun anymore, stopped abruptly, and turned to face his surprised expression.
His face instantly took an uncomfortable appearance, but recovered quickly into an irritated stare.
"May I help you, young man?"
"I'm good" I answered amused
"Fine" he huffed and quickly retreated
That was rather amusing.
I think I've found myself a new hobby...
------------------------------------------
I finally compromised on a bag of chips and coke. That'll do for now. As I approached the cashier, I noticed it was the same odd person that was following me before.
"That's all?" he asked doubtfully
"Yeah"
"It'll be 3.84$ young man"
I gave him a five and waited for the change. Behind him stood a very tall boy, about my age I think, and bagged my purchase. He gave me an arrogant look as I took my bag and left the store.
Like he had something to be proud of... after all he was just a Bagboy.
----------------------
Yes, I know it's too short and took me too long .. sorry about that ;D
Please review and give me your thoughts about the soon to happen encounter between r/j, I haven't figured it yet...
