Would she like him to carry some? Urrr. Sarah looked down at all the ones she had hold of, and noted the fact she wouldn't very easily be able to pick anything else up. "Hmm, that would be lovely, if you don't mind?" She left it as a question. He might have asked her, but he also might have expected her to say no. You never could be sure when someone was just being polite. "I sorta like to stock up before going back to school. Easier than getting my parents to send it...they - they don't come here without me really, soo..."

"I suppose you could say that," Sarah shrugged, her face lessening in redness now no-one had told her to mind her own business. "Everyone is different, though. But I'd say you won't go far wrong with it." Jeepers. The shopkeeper was stood right there, and SHE was the one passing opinion? Good thing the man looked friendly.

And then - who was this?

The boy she was talking to seemed to know him, and seemed even more embarrassed that he'd been caught by him. Sarah raised her eyebrows as he stuttered and grabbed some more of the soap. Boys WERE strange creatures. It was official. But not wanting to be rude, she gave the new arrival a smile and nod, shifting her own shopping into a more comfortable position as she did so. "Hello..." Do you two know each other? Why on earth is this so embarrassing for you both? How on earth did I end up surrounded by three blokes in a girly shop? - All questions she had, but kept to herself.
