SCANNING THROUGH THE DOZENS OF MILK BOTTLES,
(Name) squinted her eyes at the significantly high prices of the bottled milk as she took a quick glimpse at the cartoned beverage near it.
Money was a scarcity, with her it was important to save every drop of coin she has. She was a cheapskate, willing enough to drop down on her knees just to lower her expenses.
But today, she felt the need to spend, no matter on how gruelling it may be to her.
It was her precious niece's fifth birthday and she kindly requested her aunt to buy her favorite beverage and candy; a simple strawberry milk and chocolate bar.
(Name), although reluctant, but agreed (with the help of her sister's threats) and begrudgingly made her way to the convinience store.
Gripping her wallet, she clenched her fist and cried melodramatically as she swallowed her urge to shove the fairly expensive drink back in the aisle on where she found it.
Gripping her wallet tightly, she quietly groaned as she handed the cashier the cash and the items she brought. She pouted and huffed silently as she watched the cashier slide the items by.
After a quick moment, the cashier gave back the things she boughts as he waved her goodbye and bid her a cheery farewell while she walked out the glass door of the store.

She walked soundlessly through the busy streets, cradling the paper bag filled with the sweets and strawberry milk– which she ended with buying two.
She hummed, mindlessly forwarding towards the pedestrian lane [i do not condone this] with the bickering crowd of people.
Her mind had been directed elsewhere, a stream of random thoughts weaving through her brain as she carelessly bumped into a roaring herd of the public.
The people's cheering and mocks snapped her out of her trance as she let out a small noise of confusion. She lifted her bag once more, noticing that it was falling, as she tried to view the scene causing the uproar.
