*Mina wore joggers and a sweater, she wasn't actively trying to impress anyone today. She just wanted to be comfortable and warm, which she did achieve. Mina kept looking at the building as she creeped closer, her curiousity growing more then ever. The clicking of Mina's boots were growing louder as she walked onto marble flooring instead of concrete, she found that interesting. Mina looked around in awe, she'd never seen something quite like this. Clothing, groceries, toys, electronic section, shoes, food, there was almost everything you'd ever want. Mina obviously quickly walked to the clothing section because she wa interested to see what clothes this store offers. Feeling the fabric on her finger tips, so soft, and she liked the texture of it all.*

__"Oh my god, this is so cute!!"__

*Mina said as she grabbed the shirt that had little bunnies on it. Mina took out her phone to talk to people about being in Walmart. Her phone was a pretty hot pink, with yellow accents on it, she also had a little alien design on it. Mina typed fast as she could, just genuinely excited to see something like this. What prompted her to come here was to get some candy for her movie night that she was going to do. She hadn't invited anyone because she was wanting to watch a drama, not many people watch keeping up with the Kardashians. Mina thought it wouldn't be many peoples cup of tea. Although despite being in awe, she was also slightly troubled... She didn't know where anything was. Of course there were signs to say where things were but she clearly didn't see them. Mina's eyebrow furrowed as she wondered around, not really knowing where to go. Not wanting to get lost even more, after all, this was a big store.*

୨⎯ "I carry my burdens alone" 

**The air had been freezing like as if it was a blizzard in New York City. Maya had a couple times where she felt this cold even with a jacket on, but it didn't stop her from getting groceries, Maya had been bundled up by her yellow hoodie, scarf with little llamas on it with llama printed pajama pants with a crop top underneath. Maya had been too silly and forgot that a hoodie would never do her justice in weather like this. "I regret not getting the big coat.. Oh well this'll just have to suffice for now until I get into Walmart". Maya had seen how the sky was grey and seeing how many people walked down the streets New York City. It hadn't been new to her because she has been staying here for a couple years now at a apartment complex while doing college, Maya had graduated not too long ago and became a Journalist. She didn't show it much but her pride is in her Journalism. 

Maya tugged on her braids because they were getting loose and she needed to fix them when she got back home. Maya's Hair was thick, a little long and fluffy a little, She looked at the people walking by her and just kept on moving. She lived too far from Walmart! Eventually after crossing a couple more blocks she was at Walmart. 

She stepped into the automatic opening doors and was hit by a wave of heat that felt so nice. Her face almost felt numb due to the cold outside, She grabbed a cart and began walking into the actual warehouse part of the store scrolling through the frozen foods section as she grabbed Tv Dinners, premade chicken nuggets, Chicken tenders, wings you name it! Maya then headed into the cereal section grabbing a couple boxes. "Is this too much?" She said to herself "Nah i dont think it is" Maya needed new Pajamas so she crossed the cereal aisle and strolled into the pajama section looking for some. She set her cart aside grabbing a couple pajama items and then putting it in the cart. "I need milk, eggs, butter!"

"I carry my burdens alone" 

Maya had looked at her groceries list and candy was on the list. "Ah yes i need this for that.." She said walking down the aisle and into the other aisle where the candy was. She grabbed a couple things of her favorite candy. Walking down the clothes aisle she saw a particular clothing item that interested her and she walked up to it. It was a llama shirt with little llamas on it "THIS IS SO CUTE!!" She exclaimed. She put it in the cart and walked down the aisle. 

She wrapped up in that Aisle as she was walking out of it she bumps into a pink woman. "Oh sorry ma'am" She said in a sincere tone.

*Mina was too much in her head to pay attention to her surroundings. Debating if she should ask for help in the student group chat. Suddenly she felt someone bump into, taking her by surprised but she hoped the other person didn't get hurt. Mina couldn't help but to think that this was partly her fault. She should have seen someone coming out of the aisle.*

__"Gosh, I should have been paying attention..__

**"I'm so sorry! I should have been paying attention! It's my first time in this store, I kinda got lost haha!"** *Mina said in a worried tone as she smiled at this person she hasn't seen before.*

*Mina had talked like they were friends and Mina was super friendly. Mina could feel heat coming from her neck, to her face. Feeling a bit embarrassed, she hoped she didn't ruin this person's day. A bit of hope arose in Mina, maybe this person could help her! Mina then noticed the shirt and the outfit the girl was wearing and Mina was loving it.*

**"I love your outfit so much, it's so cute!!"**

"I carry my burdens alone" 

Maya excused herself and assured Mina it was fine. "Oh your fine! And Thank you so much!! I just wore these today due to the weather" She chuckled as i leaned on her cart hoping to converse with this nice lady. "I just came here for monthly groceries and stuff. Say.. I do need friendss.. Hmm.. Maybe we should chat a little? Or like have a sleepover? Even thought we just met? Idk.." She said as she was embarrassed on the inside. 

Maya looked at her outfit "I love the sweats!! They really match your vibe!" She says as she looks down at the list for groceries. "Well im off to grab the rest of my groceries but if you ever wanna hang we could?" Maya grabbed a thing she could write on and a pen out of her bag and wrote her phone number down and handed her it. "Just contact me via phone number" She smiled before she pushed the cart away and into a different aisle

*Mina was glad that the girl was okay, the worry inside her soon faded. Her face cooled down, the beating in her chest calmed down. She seemed really kind and nice too! Mina thought they would be totally good friends, especially if she likes shopping! Mina listened closely as the other girl spoke.*

**"Yeah for sure!! I'd be down to do that, I was actually going to have a movie night tonight. Your welcome to join if you wanna! I just need to buy some candy, I still somehow can't find it"**

*Mina offered and said as she scratched her head, kinda like how Kirishima does. Mina was so excited to get to know this person more! Mina always loves meeting new people, it's almost her favorite thing to do other than shopping and hanging out with friends. Mina giggled as she was being complimented by the other girl, she was definitely flattered.*

**"Aw! Thank you! I really appreciate it! I would love to hangout sometime! I'm pretty much free whenever!"**

*Mina explained as she watched as the girl wrote something down. It was a phone number for Mina, Mina reached out and grabbed the piece of paper. A wide smile grew on Mina's face, she's made a new friend!!*

**If you wanna join tonight, I'll text you the details just in case!"**

*Mina called out before seeing her new friend walk away and into a different aisle. Mina looked back at the paper, she let out a small excited squeal. She couldn't help it, she was just so happy to make another friend. Mina leaned against a shelf as she pulled out her phone, putting the phone number into her phone. Mina then sent a message to the number saying:*

[Hey!! It's the girl from Walmart! My name is Mina!]

"💙I carry my burdens alone💙" 

Maya heard Mina squeal and she smiled as she was walking down looking for an aisle with the bread. She was happy she had made a new friend she was really pretty too! Maya grabbed the bread and finished up her shopping and checked out. 

Carrying the bags while walking home Maya stopped a little before she got home to rest a little before checking her phone and seeing her message. "Mina? Pretty name" She said before replying "OH HAI! Im Maya! And yes for sure text me in the details/info" She replied and then turned it off before getting up and finishing up her walk and got up to her apartment. She opened the door and set the groceries down as she sat down at her couch and began to watch tv as she poured a bowl of cereal. 

"Home sweet home" Maya said before kicking her feet up and enjoying cartoons with cereal.

*Mina eventually found the candy section, which wasn't far from where she met the girl. She didn't exactly know which candy what the other girl liked so Mina grabbed a while bunch. Skittles, licorice, M&M's, chocolate bites, KitKat bites, score bites and many more. Mina held them close to her, with her hands completely full. Hoping she could make it to the till before she dropped anything, speed walking. Mina felt a buzz from her pocket but she couldn't check it yet. She made it to the till, as she put everything down. Sighing with relief.*

__"Thank god I made it!__ 

*Mina thought to herself as she smiled at the cashier, although the workers here look miserable. Well some of them do, not all of them look sad. Mina knew that being a cashier must be hard, standing all day. Dealing with customer, some not nice, especially being in a big city. There's just bound to be many people who are just mean to others. It made Mina mad because everyone should treat others with kindness. Mina paid for the candy, it was crazy how much things cost here, using American money. Its very different from Japan.*

*Mina held the plastic bag, stopping after leaving the store. Grabbing her phone from her pocket, opening it with just face recognition. Mina found that pretty cool, especially since they had to get new phones. Well Mina did, she wanted to have the full American life, or at least try to. Although she missed home, Japan, Mina stared at her phone and smiled.*

__"Such a pretty name, Maya! That is q gorgeous name"__

*Mina replied back with a response to Maya, telling her that the movie night is happening at 7pm. At her dorm, at U.A and that Maya is Welcome to come if she wanted to. Mina sent it and closed the app and turned off her phone, looking to the sky. Looks like it might rain, it always so grey in New York City, Mina guess that's why it felt miserable here. The weather may effect people's mood, maybe. Mina sooner or later eventually got to her dorm.*
