I kept my walking at a steady pace to make it to the store faster. My skin felt like to was burning and my muscles were tensing harder by every second, but I still have to walk it was one foot after another moving towards the store andd.. we are finally here..

As I walked into the store, I couldn't help but feel a bit self-conscious. It was his first time shopping here, but it was so normal for everyone and even though I knew exactly what I needed to get, I just couldn't shake the feeling that this was way out of my depth. And on top of that to make matters worse, I didn't even know where to begin! As the CVS I have chosen was a particular maze of aisles and products, and that filled me with panic.
So when I spotted A clerk behind the register, I want to approached her with some telepathic lingo so bad just to not to talk. "Excuse me," I said, trying not to sound too obvious of being nervous.
"Umm..do you sell contact solution by chance?"
The clerk smiled warmly, I think she could sense my awkwardness. "Of course we do," she said. "It's in aisle nine, just to your right. Can I help you with anything?"
Feeling relieved and not wanting to look weird I turned in the direction she indicated, only to almost stumble over air, I am happy that I didn't and embarrassed myself. But I still laughed at my own clumsiness, and stupidity.
I finally made my way to the contact section with no problem. But just as he was grabbing a bottle of solution, I think I remember something I read online about. there something else I should be buying to care for Rikku's lenses, something that would help prolong their life or make them more comfortable to wear? I do want the best for Rikku, but she never said which one so, I guess I have to ask again, thanks Rikku..
I decided to put the solutions back, and searched the surrounding shelves for anything similar and better for her. Eventually, I found a small bottle of lens solution tucked away in the back of the shelf isn't that just lucky for me?
As I was just about to grab it when I heard a voice behind me.
"Need some assistance dear?" A bit startled, I turned around to find the same clerk, did she think I was stealing? It didn't look like she did, but she was now smiling at me. "Umm..yes, actually I do need help.." he said, gesturing to the two bottles in his hand. "Which one do you think is "Which one do you think is better for daily use, I just want to make sure I am getting the best one.." The clerk picked up both of the bottles and compared them, considering the ingredients and instructions. I was waiting there for her to stop comparing them.
"Well," she said finally, "it really depends on the type of lens you have. What kind are you using?" Embarrassed, I didn't want to admit that I wasn't sure, and didn't know jack about what I was getting, as Rikku was the one who told me to get the solution.
The clerk's smile widened. "No problem," she said. "There are a few different kinds of lenses, so let me ask you a few questions to figure it out hun." I couldn't tell if she thought I was being dumb, or I was makeing it up.. "Of course ma'am.. I will"
I sighed but I still didn't feel relaxed... I know I sound crazy but.. I feel like something is watching me, I know I need to stop being paranoid but I still can't shake off the feeling. I have someone waiting on me so I shouldn't waste any more time.. maybe I should get something for the pain in my arm and finally get out of here..
As I walked to the register to pay, then I saw a small bottle of aspirin and felt relief. Thank goodness..I as putting the both of things on the counter, It was a different person at the register this time, she look about middle-age, and her name tag read "Mary" But she did have a warm smile. It didn't take long for me to get my stuff of course I just got two things, and the store was mostly empty. The register had a screen that showed the price for each item, which was pretty helpful.
