The three boys turned around to see three girls standing before them. Them three girls were Amelia, Emma, and Grace. These were the girls they were meeting. Daniel's voice was shaking but he managed to get some words out: "Hi. How are you?" He said, almost stumbling on his words. "We're fine thankyou. So where are we going?" Amelia replied, giving them her most angelic smile. "Erm, anywhere bạn want!" Daniel answered her, still stammering. "How about the sweet shop? We haven't been there for a while." Emma asked, hiển thị a smile too. "Yeah, sure!" Tommy replied to her, looking at the other two boys for agreement. They decided they would do exactly that, so they took a stroll to 'The Olde Sweet Shoppe'.

After a few phút of walking they passed the trái cây stalls, with Old Jim, the owner. He spoke to everyone and everyone knew who he was. Jim was a lonely man but still always managed to make others feel welcome. Jonathan thought he would say a quick hello. "Hello Jim! How's it going today? Sold much?" Jonathan asked politely.
"Well bạn know, the usuals. Where bạn lot heading? Anywhere nice?" Jim asked curiously.
"Oh, just the sweet shop. Do bạn want us to get some for you?" Tommy asked nicely. "No thanks, but here's some money for bạn lot to share. Spend it well." Jim đã đưa ý kiến generously. "Thankyou Jim!" They all said. Jim was such a kind man. He didn't have much money, and even when he did, he gave it away to people less fortunate than him, hoặc just people he cared for very much.

Tommy took the money and the five of them spent half an giờ in the sweet shop. As soon as bạn step into the doorway, bạn can't help but stop and stare. The shelves were packed with many varieties of colours - from pinks to purple, to oranges to yellow. Every single kind of sweet was up there with every single colour. To choose what ones bạn wanted was a nightmare. "What are bạn getting Emma?" Amelia asked her, as she peered over at the millions of sweets Emma's eyes were glued to. "I'm sure. I might not get any - there's so many to choose from." She replied, undecided, "Actually, I might just get the chanh Drops, what do bạn think?" Amelia was not really listening, as she was too busy gazing at Daniel in the corner. "Amelia! Stop staring at loverboy over there, and help me decide!" Emma laughed.
"Sorry! I was just staring at the sweets actually, not Daniel!" She said, trying her hardest to look innocent but bạn could see she was lying. Emma was about to reply when the boys interrupted them. "Have bạn decided then? We've got to get back soon." Tommy asked the girls.
"Yeah, I think we are." Emma replied as she smiled sweetly. They stepped up to the counter and bought the sweets they wanted. Grace was about to pay for hers when she realised she was a few pennies short. "Oh, I must of dropped some of my money." She said, a bit embarrassed. "Oh don't worry, I've got some." Jonathan generously offered. Grace was so amazed that he had actually spoke to her she had only managed to get out one word.

"Thanks."
