IT WASN’T JUST ME!

I was walking through the store and stopped short. 

      "What's the matter?" My friend asked. I pointed down the aisle and she nods. "I'm going to let you handle this one." She goes into a different aisle and the smiles and gives me a thumbs-up. I smile and then sigh. Why do I always get stuck with this stuff? 

     "Hey," I say as the person down the aisle waves. She walks toward me and I rack my brain for her name. Starts with an A I think to myself. 

     "Hey, how's it going?" She says. 

     "Good, how 'bout you?" I rack my brain again why she talks. 

     "I'm good. I just came to the store to get the milk and stuff," She says. "I have a really big exam tomorrow and I'm really nervous about it."  

     "Is it in English?" I asked. 

     "No, math," She says. I nod. 

     "Well, I'll see you tomorrow," She says. "Have a good day." 

     "I will you too," I smile. 

      "Why can't I remember his name?" I hear her say as she walks away. 

     "Oh!" I say. I smack my forehead. "That was her name. Chloe!"
