Golden Crimes

Suprise

We walked inside my house and turned to Terrance.  " Wait here. Actually, go wait in my room. If my mom sees you, she'll freak." He smiled " Yeah, ok." I walked in the kitchen and set the olive oil on the counter. My mom turned towards me and gave me a big hug. Then she saw the olive oil and her smile waverd. "So, bread, meat, cheese and olive oil. How'd you buy all that?" My hands started sweating. My mom hated when I stole things, even though there was no way she could feed me, her, and my little brother if I didn't steal things." Well, I got the olive oil from grandpa." She full on frowned now. " Where'd you get everything else from Missy." There was no legit lie I could make up, so, I told her the truth. "Well you see, I was in the market place...and I knew we needed some more food....and I saw them just sitting there with a lot more so no one would miss them......" "So you stole them" she said flatly. " God Armenia,  what have I told you about this. Don't  steal things. You understand me. If you steal something again, I'm going to beat you with my wooden spoon. Now go put on something nice. We have guest tonight. "I tilted my head to the side and asked "Who are the guests?" She was quite for a long time before she said "They're from the golden empire. They are crystal status guards." I lost it. "MOM! HOW COULD YOU INVITE THEM HERE. HOW COULD YOU!" She turned around and loomed at me with stone cold eyes. She could've been a murderer from a horror story from the way she was  holding her meat knife. "THEY HAVE AUTHORITY.  IF THEY WANTED TO, THEY COULD SNAP THEIR FINGERS AND YOU WOULDN'T BE GOING TO SCHOOL IN THE MORNING! NOW GO GET DRESSED! And if Terrance wants to stay, tell him to put on something nice." I turned and stalked to my room, not even bothering to ask how she knew Terrance was here.
