Jenae

The bell went off indicating a new customer had entered the 7-Eleven.

"Aye? Can I get some cigarettes?"

Every bone in me froze as I heard their voice.
I recognized them immediately.

--

All the fear and anger in me for this boy came rushing back in that moment.

I didn't know what to do.

"Is it this one?" The cashier questioned him.

He nodded and as she bagged his purchase.

His eyes just so happened to trail to the mirror showcasing the aisle that I was in.

I ducked before he could see me.

"Here you go. Have a great day," smiled the cashier and he looked forward.

"Thanks," he said before taking his bag.

"You're welcome. Goodbye."

I waited until the door chimed once again before withdrawing from my hiding spot.

I quickly went to check out and left afterwards.

What if I run into him?

I'll just take another route.

I start to execute my plan until I hear him.

"Jenae Torres!? Damn... so it was you."

I froze in my tracks and there was Preston.

"I saw you in the store but I wasn't sure it was you. Do you go to college around here too?"

I shook my head quickly and tried walking away only to be grabbed back by my arm.

"What's wrong with you? You're acting like you don't know me," he laughed sourly.

"Have you forgot about me since I left?"
