sunday.

frustration fought its way inside andie as she tried to finish her essay. her fingers tapped on the keyboard and her bottom lip was stuck between her teeth, just like she was stuck on studying.

"pumpkin?" andie's father leaned his body against the doorframe.

"yes?" she responded in a tired, but monotonic, voice and glanced back at him. her father seemed to be completely exhausted and grumpy. so was she.

"can you go to the grocery store, please? i'm too tired and we need some stuff home, i don't know what, but you do." he asked, rubbing his forehead slowly.

"i'm studying, dad. this is supposed to be submitted on tuesday and i have no lust to sit with this on monday." she pressed her lips together while turning around in her seat and gazing at him. judging by his expression, he really wasn't going to go through that himself, so she reluctantly rose up from her seat and shut her laptop.

"my card is in the first box. you know the code." he finished by disappearing out of the kitchen and into his small room.

andie sauntered her way into crystal's room and plopped down on the bed with her. crystal smiled softly at her bigger sister before she put away her small notepad and pulled her legs up against her body.

"hey, kitten. i'm going grocery shopping and using dad's card, so is there anything you want?"

"can you get me a snickers please?" crystal peered up at her sister with an adorable smile plastered on her face. andie laughed through her nose while smiling and nodded.

"of course. i'll see you soon then." andie gave crystal a quick kiss on the cheek before standing up, scanning her own clothes.

with no lust or energy to change them whatsoever, she seized the credit card, her skateboard and quickly made her way towards the grocery store in a pair of grey, short soft shorts and a white tank top. she reached the story within a few minutes, and then doing what she always does; ask the customer assistance to lay aside her skateboard somewhere hidden.

after she thanked him, she mentally wrote down all the essentials they needed home and started walking through the aisles with a basket she dragged behind her. andie wasn't the one to waste time considering things for too long, she just snatched everything from the shelves and continued walking.

when she reached aisle eight, her tired eyes scanned all the contents until they landed on crystal's favorite cereal. it didn't take long to realize that they were placed on the highest shelf, too high for her to reach.

andie groaned quietly as she let go of the basket, stood on her toes and tried to reach the package, but in vain. she just couldn't reach it, not even with the tip of her fingers, and she was growing very impatient and frustrated over that fact.

"you could use some help reaching that." someone spoke from behind her. andie didn't register the voice at all, she just exhaled and put her hands on her hips.

"yeah, one of the cons with being short. can you reach it?" she huffed and gazed up at the stupid cereal box.

"you're not short. that shelf is abnormally high. i could lift you up since i don't think i'll reach it myself?" the person — a boy, she now perceived — offered. she simply shrugged, not caring at all. she just wanted to get that box and go home already.

"just get it over with." she replied, dropping her hands beside her body.

her waist was grasped by two foreign hands, being held tightly as her feet disconnected with the floor. she seized the right box carefully and put it in her basket when the boy had placed her down again.
