Elina POV
The next day i woke up, and it was 8 am already. I had no work today as it was a Sunday.
Well anyways, I'll go to do some shopping.
Might as well buy some turtle food for the neighbour's pet turtle. It helps in gaining their trust.
I stood near the counter, waiting for other people to come out. It was kind of crowded.
"I shot a robber yesterday! She wore some shabby looking black clothes. Ugh so cheap!"
"Omg i know right? These people are so useless!"
I heard two girls in their annoying voice, speak.
"Robbers are so annoying, and the one i shot yesterday was so dumb! She didn't even carry any weapons. I mean you are in middle of a purge!"
My body went stiff.
"Lame. I don't even wanna talk about them."
I tapped my foot against the cold floor waiting for the crowd to vanish.
An old, grumpy man stood a bit close to me near the counter.
I hummed along some songs which were playing in the shop and moved a little.
Then i turned around to see the old man glaring at me.
The tip of his nose almost red. I almost snorted but held in my laughter and tilted my head confused.
"Thief!"
He yelled. At first no one paid attention but after yelling around 5-6 times a crowd gathered around us.
I was frightened.
I am not so used to so much of attention and right now everyone was looking at me.
Oh god!
"Excuse me , what?"
I tried to be as kind as possible.
"You stole my sixty dollars! You nasty little woman! Give me my money!"
I gasped.
"No! No i didn't! Stop lying!"
"Teenage girls these days.."
He shook his head, mumbling in such a way the crowd could hear too.
What the fuck.
"Give me my money! Does your man not keep you happy enough?"
Oh my god! This man is taking this on a personal level!
Suddenly feeling angry, i snapped back.
"Old hags these days.."
I mumbled, imitating him and continued.
"Does your sugar baby not keep you happy enough?"
I received a few snorts and laughs from people nearby.
Even i felt like laughing but i kept quiet.
"You bitch!"
He threw multiple profanities at me. Thats weird.
I sighed.
"Look, i haven't stole anything from you. I entered this shop with ten dollars and that's the only amount i have with me right now."
