After school I didn't take the bus home since I have to buy dog food for Spark.
After a long 10 minute walk to the nearest pet store, I sat down at a bench to take a rest for a bit. *DING* my phone rang. I picked it up from my pocket and see who the message is from.
Gigi
Hey, you ok
Me
I'm fine, don't worry
Gigi
Sorry I didn't follow you
Me
You made the right decision
I would have yelled at you.
Let's talk tomorrow, I have
A lot of shiz to do.
I close my phone and went inside the store. The first thing that I was intrigued by was the smell of dog treats that filled the air, it smelled bad. The wall was very yellow with white paw prints as a pattern. I walked around the place to find dog food that weighed like a sack of rice and just leave. Apparently I got lost, I'm in the aisle full of chew toys and dog shampoo. "May I help you sir." a man behind me asked "Yeah, I'm looking for the-"
Oh man it's Romeo. Why is this happening to me. "Oh, it's you." he said
"Yeah, it's me. The guy you hate so much." I said with sarcastic tone.
"I don't hate you." he laughed.
"I'm sorry, what." ok now I'm confused. I shouted at him, I'm always sarcastic to him and I refuse his kindness. And he's not a little bit mad at me. At least a little.
"I don't hold to grudges," he explained "It's not something I do. It's normal for people to be mad at me I guess, I mean. I am the captain of the football team" It's more than that you ass. "But football is just something that I love since I was a kid." he smiled.
"It's not football" I said "It's something else that I don't wanna talk about."
Their was silence between us.
"When do you work?" I asked awkwardly
"Just on Mondays and Fridays. I just did it to gain some cash"
"Cool." I nodded not facing him.
"So what can I help you with again." he said
"Dog food." we then left the aisle immediately.
After that conversation I walked to the bus stop. Along the way the sack of dog food ripped apart. "OH COME ON!"
I arrived home with the dog food alive and went up to my room immediately. I am embarrassed with that interaction. It's even worse than the pen thing. This day has been a catastrophic, and I’m wanting it to never exist ever again. EVERY SINGLE INCIDENT.
I grabbed my notebook and just started doing every assignment I have that needs to be submitted tomorrow, next week or in a month. I just want to forget everything never happened.
By the time I was kinda finished it was 9pm. I changed to my pajamas and went to bed. I looked out my window to see a shooting star passing by. It might sound cheesy but, I still make wishes when I find a 4 leaf clovers, shooting stars or even a wish bone in a turkey. Their is still that childish part of me that still believes magic exist somewhere in this world.
I closed my eyes and made a wish. “I wish I have somebody to love me.”
