Head In The Clouds

Sugar High

Fluffy, candyfloss-like clouds were scattered across the strikingly blue sky, my mind wandered as I slowly drained the bowl of sweets. Candyfloss... I don't even notice I had finished the first few I had taken untill my fingers hit the bottom of the bowl. My thoughts scattered as I noticed my friends staring at me with awe fill expressions. "You won the competition?!" Sasha exclaimed.

I looked at her, confused, by the accusatory tone in her voice "huh, which one, why?"

"What do you mean, why!" Sasha.

"You literally just won a race that thousands of people entered, and you didn't see the point in telling us." Maya said cryptically.

"Ummmm, I mean all I did is run, so I really didn't really do that much, it was just my training paying off." I dismissed, to me it wasn't much, I had trained for hours every day so I didn't see it as I win, I just saw it as my hard work paying off. Of course if I had lost I would have just said I hadn't worked hard enough and gone straight back to training. After increasing my exercises. But I had won so that doesn't really matter. All that mattered was the prize money that went towards my sweets... what could I buy next? Sour sweets or a lolly? Decisions, decisions.

Apparently my friends are really stuck on the fact that I won but, I, really just want to go get some sugar before my next workout. Ok I really just want sugar, but hey I've come to a decision! I'm getting... Both sour and a lolly, plus the rest of the shop but that doesn't matter...

Then I just want to sleep, but I have to study for my classes then, I can retire to my bed, find some random video for me to put on then ignore, as I proceed to stuff my face with sweets.

Back to the present situation. So I'm just really happy Sasha is my friend right now, she miraculously picked up on my zoning out and came to the correct conclusion. I'm sugar deprived and dragged us all (well I may have ran ahead a little) to a stall at the corner of the park we were sitting at.

"Hi, Jim, how are you?" Maya said, bouncing up to the sweet smelling stall.

"I'm doing good, about to be better when Layla buys out all my stock again." He laughed.

Yup if you haven't guessed I'm Layla, known for eating anything what is unhealthy I can  get my hands on and eventually burning off the calories by training myself to within an inch death, actually, my training is probably quite dangerous... Oops.

I turned away, my face flushed mumbling "how do you know I'm going to do that, I could just be getting one thing..."

Anyone who could hear my very obvious lie burst out laughing. "I would pay to see the day that you only bought one thing at a sweet shop!" Maya laughed. Agreeing comments chorused, my face changing from pink to red.

A packed of candyfloss caught my eye as I had been carving candy floss for a while... Now back to the copious amounts of sugar I'm planning to consume!

Oooo those crêpes look good, but then so did the cotton candy, then there are the slushies, wait is that ice-cream I see... Yup, Jim was right, I'm going to end up buying everything.

Hey, what else would I use all the winnings I get from entering every competition that comes my way. I only enter the competitions to do this anyway!

I pull my bulging purse out of my pocket and placed a fifty pound note on the counter.

"Will this cover it?" I inquired, no doubt my eyes were gleaming, and, on top of that, with the aid of the inevitable sugar rush, I was about to become very talkative.

"What did I tell you, buying me out every time!" Jim laughed, "yeah, for our towns champion I think it will."
