The sun was on its way, rising to the top of the sky as Arielle Clemons got out of the bathroom, finished with her shower. She was dressed in just a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt, her Ariat's worn and ready for more action. She grabbed her keys and some money, stuffing her phone into her back pocket as she got in her beat-up Chevy pick-up truck. The engine sputtered, but soon she was on the road to Safeway, the local grocery store in town. She had been living off of fast food for the past couple of days she had been in Addison, which really only meant McDonald's or a cafe on good days. It wasn't settling correctly in her stomach, so she finally found the time to buy some decent food, for a change.

The twenty-year-old maneuvered the roads going downtown with ease, even though they were a little slippery from the light freezing rain that had had the night before. The heater was almost done for in that truck, so she shivered a little on the way there. It was a good thing that it was only a ten minute drive. Once she had parked the car and entered the store, however, the warmth got to her and she was instantly satisfied. Grabbing a cart, she slowly made her way down the aisles, picking up miscellaneous things as she went. Bread, eggs, milk, butter, juice, chips, hot dogs, pizzas--whatever she thought would be helpful. After a minute or two more of shopping, she stopped by the fruit/produce section and looked around, picking out things that would be good for a salad or two. Oh, and of course bananas and strawberries.

Finally, she came to the check-out line, where an older lady was working silently, looking over coupons and such. "Hello, I hope you found everything you need." She said to her, looking up and giving a quick smile before returning to scan Arielle's items. She gave the woman a small smile in return, and a "Thanks."

[/color] Arielle seemed pretty content, watching the lady do her job. She fingered through her blow-dried hair, smoothing it and making sure there were no snarls in it. Her big, brown eyes looked around the store, noticing a couple others who were doing just as she was. Brushing her bangs back, she turned back to face the lady, paying for her groceries and grabbing her bags, walking calmly to the doors.

Almost halfway to the doors, she heard the sound of an ambulance outside the window, her gaze reaching that destination as she watched it zoom by, leaving others high-tailing for the side of the road. Suddenly, she had collided with the floor, her groceries flying everywhere as she sat up, looking in the direction of a man around her age. She had somehow ran into him whilst her absent-minded watching of the ambulance. The words immediately rushed to her tongue, the look on her face of pure embarrassment. "I'm so sorry about that..." She hurriedly began to pick up the food, placing the items back in their original bags. Great, she thought. My first errand happens to be the most embarrassing. Biting her lip, she hoped the man would take it nicely.
