Redrum

Walking through town is always hard for me. No matter how hard i try to ignore it i can always hear whispering "freak" i hear someone behind me say. Putting my head down and leaving the grocery store to head to work. i dont belong in this town. ill always be known as a freak in town. No matter how hard i try. Making my way into the shop and setting everything up like its supposed to a counting the money for the register i walk to the door and unlock it opening the store for the day. sitting behind the register as a few people come and go, not really buying anything just looking around. the door chimes alerting me to customers coming in.as i look up my eyes go wide. walking into my shop is none other than the 5 boys i love. One Direction.

as they look around i gather my courage and decide to approach. "can i help you guys with anything?" i ask and they all turn and look at me. "ugh hi yeah we were just looking around." one said. "well let me know if you need any help or just to explain things." i say slightly nervous, i dont want these boys to think im a freak as well. "im tristan by the way just call me if you need anything." i say walking away. just as i turn around a loud screech that sounds like my name is called from a girl. "tris i need your help so bad right now. i really need a gris gris. do you have anymore?" she asks. "uhm yeah theyre over here." i say and she follows as well as the boys cause im sure they wanna know what it is. "what happened to the one you got yesterday?" i ask. " i dropped it and it broke." she says sad. " oh ok well ill give you a lagniappe (lan-yap) since it broke." i say and she smiles turning to see what else she wants. grabbing her two things she walks to the counter and pays. "oh tris you gotta try the muffuletta (moo fa lata) theyre so good today." she says giggling. "yeah i will on my lunch maybe some etoufee in the vieux carre' (voo caree)." i say and she smiles and walks out.

i look up to see the boys staring at me wide eyed."what the hell was just being said." the blonde says. "oh she wanted a gris gris. uhmm a good luck charm in voodoo." i say and they nod."you gave her something with a strange name." curly says smiling. "oh a lagniappe. yeah it means like something extra. sweeten the deal. i guess." i say. i didnt realize how difficult it was for me to just explain what it all meant. its just how we talk here not thinking someone may ask us what were saying. "so since you obviously seem to know alot about this city how about you show us around for a bit?" liam asks. "uhm yeah i have to wait on my parraine so i can leave." i say. again giving me strange looks. "uh my god father." i say and they nod with understanding. "so have you boys had any delicosies of new orleans yet?" i ask and they shake their heads no. "well by the end of today ill show you all you need to see here in wonderful n'awlins."
