"So you didn't spend 65 dollars today?"
"No, just 60. The soda was on sale."
"But I thought you said you were going to spend exactly 65."
"Rachel said her dad wouldn't let her come to my house."
"But I don't wanna share a leg hole with my brother!"
"Personally, I think mixing ketchup with mustard is completely delicious."
"Ew! No way. Mixing ketchup with mustard is disgusting."
I listened to the conversations of the people walking by the isle. When I didn't hear anyone talking, I jumped off the shelf and flew onto the next one. The granola bars are on isle 17, I told myself. I kept jumping from shelf to shelf, avoiding the security cameras, until finally I reached the shelf with the granola bars on it. I carefully opened the box, crawled inside, and grabbed one of the granola bars. I then flew out, closed the box, and then flew back to my nest.
My nest was hidden by cans of ravioli and tomato soup.
"Stuck in the peanut dispenser again?" I heard my sister say to my brother as I flew in. "That's like the third time today."
"Technically fourth," I heard him say.
"Someone's going to see you eventually," I pointed out.
"But would they really notice?" My sister said.
I saw a shopping cart go by.
"I dare you to jump in," My brother said with a big grin on his face.
"No!" I protested. "I'm not going to--"
I turned around to see the rest of my family munching on my granola bar.
"Hey!" I yelled. "That was mine!"
"Not anymore it isn't," He said.
In anger and frustration, I flew all the way up to the rafters. It was cold, but peaceful. All of a sudden, I saw three odd green shapes in the distance.
"Oh no," I said to myself.
They were the Lightning Bolts, one of the worst groups of bullies in the store. They were coming straight for me.
