MY KRISTEN

The Groceries

It's past 4, O clock in the evening when Mrs Bernard called Joan.

" Joan Joan"

"Yes ma, I'm at the backyard, Do you want something?"

"I want you to go get me this stuffs at the Grocery" she said presenting a list in front of

Joan

"Alright Ma, I'll do just that".

" Yes, and come back quick.

JOAN'S CONNER

I hurriedly dressed up and found my way to the grocery. The grocery is a place where you get coffee, chilli, Junk, cheese, hot dogs, drunk, hot gossip and all those stuffs but I go there to get the good stuffs.

Coming out I bumped into a teenager my age and she looks damn rich checking her appearance! my stuffs poured all over the place and what I didn't expect from her was that she'd join me and pick them up, I was surprised.

"Uhhhm I'm so sorry I wasn't looking" the unknown girl apologized.

She's so different from that Samantha girl in my school who's rude cause her family had got money in their pocket.

"No. it's alright I'm at fault here too, and thanks for helping me out."

"You're welcome.

" You seem nice"

"That's because I am. My name's is Vanessa. What's yours?

"Nice meeting you Vanessa, I'm Joan.

"Nice meeting you too Joan. I have to go now I don't like keeping my driver waiting but first can I have your number?

"Oh no. I don't own a cellphone.

"Really,? why not?

"That's because I can't afford one but I can give you my mum's number you can reach me through her will that be okay?

"Yes perfect with me"

"Alright then bye again"

I left the grocery swinging my bag from left to right feeling like I just meet a celebrity, she's so nice..

***************************

After school I was really tired, from all the stress Samantha put me through walking my way back home I almost got hit by a vehicle.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" I cried

"Are you alright young lady? A lady ran to me from the car.

"Yes ma I'm okay"

"Are you sure? I could take you to the doctor!

"You don't have to I'm fine Ma

"Next time you should watch carefully" She scolded me."Do you understand?"

"Yes Ma"

"Get in the car"

"No, thank you Ma, I'll find my way home"

"Get in the car now! She yelled out.

She yelled out like she was my mother or something, I even got frightened by her raising of voice damn.

"Okay"

I didn't say anything again I just got in the car and she started driving she drove down and I was surprised how she got to know my street, one more turn and we were at my house.

"How did you know I live here? I asked after so much silence.

"Aren't you the same girl from last week? The one who helped me find my way?"

"Really! You're that lady from last week. now I see why she looked familiar

"So where's your house? I didn't get to make it last week cause you didn't let me or you wont let me today too!"

"No ma I'm sorry about last week" I said gesturing her to my apartment

"You live here?

"Yes I do, it's not the kind of house you'd fit in I guess" I said smiling.

"I'll still love to come in"

"Then you're welcome here Ma."

"Where's your Family? There's no one Home

Let me check I thought and then called for Mrs Bernard. "Mrs Bernard, Mrs Bernard, I'm home."

But there was no response "I guess she's gone to the shop Ma'am, her daily routine."

"Then there's no problem maybe I'll see her some other time. That's true I still don't know your name."

"My name is Joan Ma"

"Just address me As Britney Karls alright! .

"Yes ma, may I get you something to drink?"

"No. I'm okay thank you. You know I told my daughter about you, and she said she would really like to meet you".

"Wow. I like to meet her too.

"We will find a time to come visit okay. I'll leave now so I can get her from school, Be safe Joan" she said tugging me in for a hug.

"Thank you very much Ma'am. I appreciate your visit, and you bringing me home."

"You're welcome darling bye" She got into her beautiful car and drove off. And then came Justin like a thout. I never told you about him right! Justin is the only Child and Son of Mr and Mrs Bernard he refused to go to school, he keeps bad company, His friends try to hit on me, and most of all He doesn't like me, He thinks I'm a street beggar who favoured by his parents...
