I have problems

After a month of my endless effort to find the girl in rain, I decided to let it go. I don't even know why I was searching her in the first place. was I expecting a soul mate? a love story from the fairy tales? Whatever my mind was thinking wasn't happening so, there was no point in pondering further into the matter. It was just a waste of the little time I had for myself.

During recess, a short girl; much younger than me, came running towards me. I started rummaging through my memories, I was certian I knew her but given my social skills, I forgot her. She stopped right in front of the bench I was warming my ass onto, kept smiling at me like she wanted my kidneys in exchange of her braces attached toothy smile. I gave her a weak smile, the one that disappeared within fraction of seconds(cannot even call it a smile; a smirk I suppose). To my relieve, she finally showed her clenched fist and continued with the weird grin. I didn't know what I should be doing, was it a game?(No freaking idea; just want her to disappear)

"what do you want me to do?"
It surprised me. My first words in months to another human being. Most of my mom's friends assumed I was mute but they were too kind to ask her, cannot blame them for I only spoke when it was absolutely necessary like asking my half-witted sister to come out of the toilet which is suppose to be ours, not just hers.

"Dont you remember me? I am Emma. Emma store?"
Emma store? The Emma store? the only convenience store I visited in the last fifteen years? How did I not recognize her? That face with acne and freckles and that oversized t-shirt almost swallowing her. I cleared my throat.

"Ofcourse I do. so...umm..what's in your hands?"

"You didn't come to the store for a while. I thought you might miss this."

Jelly beans? She must have gotten used to me paying for packets of jelly beans every time I visited her store. It was always her in the counter, her dad sat next to her but didn't really do much. A big man with his big belly sitting on a stool that could break anytime.
I only remember his curly red hair(the ones Emma have) and his big forehead( everything was destined to be big for this guy). His face was always hidden behind magazines, I think he is just there to scare the buglers.

"Thank you. yeah...I kinda missed it"
(Damn! I missed it so much. Couldn't visit your store because I don't have any money on me; blame my mom)

"well..are you free tonight?"

"umm..why?....I don"

"I am counting you in. make sure you come to my place. It's my birthday. I am throwing a party. It is going to be awesome. psst...come a little closer"
(weird )

"I think I need to go to my next class..."

she reached her hands on my collars and pulled me towards her.
(What the actual Fart)

"we bought something strong. you cannot miss it. make sure you come"
(we are way too close, somebody save me)

"well I was saying it is really kind of you bu"

"Okay so you're coming. see you later. babye"
(Do you even listen to the other person girl? I was saying I CANNOT make it. Why are humans complicated?)
