Ficlets

“Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm”
I hummed the lyrics to my favorite song.
I stopped about halfway around the city when I got hungry.
I went into a place that sells beagles.
When I walked in I immediately blushed because
Derrik was at the counter taking orders from the customers.
I walked slowly, about as fast as a glacier.
I crept up to the counter,
hiding my face with every chance I get.
“Hi, have I seen you before?”Derrik surprisingly said.
“No, you haven’t seen me before.”
I quickly said back.
He said “Are you sure? Do you go to Winter High?”
I didn’t want to answer so I just said “excuse me.”
and fakly pulled out my cell phone as if I just got a call.
I pulled the cell phone over my ear and said “hello?”
even though nobody was on the other line.
“Hold on, I’ve got to take this call, but can I have one plain beagle?”
He said “sure” when I was walking out of the shop.
