โ€ŽALEX POV

โ€Ž

โ€ŽJessica looked effortlessly gorgeous as she came out of her house to meet me. I just stood there looking at her.

โ€Ž

โ€Ž"Shall we?" She asked after I heard her clearing her throat. Am caught she caught me staring dumbly at her.

โ€Ž

โ€Ž

โ€ŽShe's wearing a pair of light blue jeans trouser's a white shirt that is tucked into the trousers and a big black sleeve. The dressing looks casual but seeing it in her body it just. . . .ย feels. . . . different?.

โ€Ž

โ€Ž"Y-yeah, let's go" I said as we left anf started our journey or rather. . . . tour.

โ€Ž

โ€Ž"So my mom sent me to buy some groceries and stuff and I happened to run into jess mom then she asked me to just wait that she also wants to send jess, that the two of should just go together.

โ€Ž

โ€ŽI didn't protest, I was actually glad we've become close these past few days her mom has been really nice to me.

โ€Ž

โ€Ž"So. . . .ย what are you buying first?". Jessica asked me.

โ€Ž

โ€ŽWe had already reached a long way away from house.

โ€Ž

โ€Ž"Huh. . . ., i don't really know". I repiled. I don't know why i answered like that, when clearly she's just partially escorting me and partially buying.

โ€Ž

โ€Ž"I mean should we go to the local market to get the food stuffs or the mall to get the remaining provisions and all?". She asked.

โ€Ž

โ€ŽLocal market or mall?. I genuinely don't know, but i don't know if it will be okay to reply that way.

โ€Ž

โ€Ž"Ehmm. . . . The local market?". I repiled or rather i think it was more of a question than a straight reply.

โ€Ž

โ€Ž"Okay, let's go". She replied, then we went ahead to our left where the local market was.

โ€Ž

โ€ŽThe local market was packed with people buying, selling and all that. I didn't know a market can be packed with people for a town like this.

โ€Ž

โ€Ž"Why is everywhere packed?". I asked Jessica, she looked really excited to be at the market.

โ€Žย "Oh. . . .our town is best known fir it's fresh vegetables" she said as went on buying.

โ€Ž

โ€ŽAlthough at a point i found it really hard to catch up with her, she was used to this place unlike me. She knew when to turn and when not to. Due to the population it made it hard to follow her.

โ€Ž

โ€Ž"And also",she continued "apart from the vegetables today is weekend, most people are stocking up for the new week". She repiled.

โ€Ž

โ€ŽAt a point i got used to the full population and i started to try a conversation with Jessica is not like i couldn't, we've both been having small talks about the way the town is, how annoying the people can get,the best time to come to the market and all that.

โ€Ž

โ€ŽBut i wanted to start a real conversation i was interested in knowing her education level but i haven't asked her yet. Let me just ask her,we've grown close so. . .she might answer right? Is not a sensitive topic though.

โ€Ž

โ€Ž"So....what's your current level in education, are you a highschooler or you're already in college? ". I asked her as she casually handed me a bag of what we had just bought from the stall.

โ€Ž

โ€Ž"Am done with highschool". She repiled after sometime.

โ€Žย " But. . .ย college?, Am not really sure about that"

โ€Ž

โ€Ž"You're not sure?, as in. . . . ?. I asked after some time. I made sure to ask her cautiously i don't know what her reply will be like.

โ€Ž I honestly didn't want to seem rude or sound like someone who wants to pry into her personal life.

โ€Ž

โ€Ž"I finished highschool but my parents are actually. . . . .that capable enough to send me to college ". She repiled.

โ€Ž

โ€Ž"What about you?" she asked turning to me.

โ€Ž"Oh. . . . We're actually the same"'

โ€Ž"How?" she asked curiously.

โ€Ž"I mean. . . we are actually in a similar situation, am also done with highschool "

โ€Ž "College?" she asked.

โ€Ž"Yeah, my parents, my dad though. . .isn't a fan of education___"

โ€Ž

โ€Ž"Really? "she asked interrupting me i couldn't exactly point out which part amazed her.

โ€Ž

โ€Ž"Yeah. . . . .he isn't like other parents who are obsessed with their children going to school"

โ€Ž

โ€Ž"Oh" she repiled nodding.

โ€Ž

โ€Ž"Even if he has the money right now he rather use money for another purpose before even remembering i have to go to school"

โ€Ž

โ€Ž"So . . .how are you planning to. . . like enter college " she asked me after some time.

โ€Ž

โ€Ž"Hmm. . . .I'm going to contact my uncle to see if he can assist me".

โ€Ž

โ€ŽI replied as she nodded affirmatively and we continued.

โ€Ž

โ€ŽWe had already finished buying from the local market, so we are headed to the mall for the other groceries.

โ€Ž

โ€ŽI have already contacted my uncle, he promised to reach out to me another time. I hope he really does, he seemed really busy when i called, so i hope he doesn't forget.
