Walking around the streets of Brighton, me and my friend soon caught sight of a local newsagents as we were wandering around looking for something to do.
And before long, we needed a boost of energy, too.
So, we dashed across the road to pick up some snacks.
Stepping inside, I could immediately feel a pair of eyes staring at me.
Keeping to myself, I scoured the sweet shop for something that tickled my fancy.
Yet, standing in front of me was a handsome older guy – he had been the one looking at me, I could tell.
Exchanging a smile, I had selected my treats and headed to the till.
Only, in that time, I had somehow managed to strike up conversation with the charming guy that had flashed me a smile – it was nice that he was taking an interest.
‘I’m Lloyd,’ he said, following me to the till.
‘I’m Sophia,’ I replied, handing over my change.
It seemed a little strange that we was already introducing himself and knowing that he was a little older than me, I kept to one word answers.
At just 15, I could clearly see that he wasn’t in the same school year as me – he must have been at least 25.
Only, in the space of the few minutes of my grabbing my treats, we had exchanged social media details.
It’s probably just a one off, he must have thought I looked older than I am, I thought.
Yet, finding out that he was indeed 26, I had to fess up.
