"My name's Jeff."
I looked up to see a tall boy smiling at me. It took me a few seconds to realize that he was talking to me.
"H-Hey," I replied, mentally kicking myself for stuttering. Now, he's going to think I'm weird.
"Hi!" Jeff smiled brightly at me, showing his pearly white teeth. "What's your name?"
"Jessie," I replied instantly, accepting his handshake.
"So, Jessie, are you interested in baking?" Jeff asked, fully intent in continuing the conversation. Is he interested in me? But why did he ask such a random question?
I gave him a strange look. "Yeah. Why?"
"I thought so...since you are standing at the baking goods aisle."
Of course! I had completely forgotten that I was examining the shelves for a small bag of premium quality chocolate chips that my little sister likes. I wanted to bake a cake for her birthday. Fighting a blush, my eyes found the item and I quickly grabbed it and threw it into my shopping basket.
"I like baking too," Jeff commented. I watched as he reached out to retrieve a bag of self-raising flour before placing it in his basket. Immediately, I imagine him wearing an apron and a chef hat bending down and opening an oven to check the progress of his cake.
"Well, see you around, Jessie," Jeff winked before he walked off.
Waving him off, I gave a small smile. After he turned a corner and disappeared, I sighed. What on earth just happened?
