Heart of the Broken

"Ok, now...Which stores was I kicked out of again? Peril, Kavila, Hotties, Silvana's, Claire's, Japo, wait... Japo? Really?" I questioned to myself as I read the list of stores, I was previously kicked out of because of my appearance, out loud from my phone.

"FURRY! Go back to the forest and fuck a squirrel!" A group of boys from my school called from behind me.

'Ugh, people are so rude...' I sigh and continue walking to the Crater Smith Mall.

I come across a new store, Frulies. 'huh? Since when did we get a new store in the mall?...hm.. I guess it makes sense, since that entire block has been empty for at least 2 months.'  I walk in and see the best and biggest display of stuffed animals I have ever seen in my entire life, smack middle of the room. 'HoLy CrAcKeRs, that's a shit ton of mamnimals.'  I walk around the table in awe, inspecting every large to small stuffed animal, at a sad attempt to choose what I want. 'Do I want a generic large stuffed chocolate brown bear or that cute fluffy German Shepherd and Golden Retriever mix...Aww...it looks like a light golden brown marshmallow....pup, definitely pup.'  I pick the stuffed pup up and inspect it for a price tag. I can obviously pay for it...I'm ugly rich...but still. I don't like buying super expensive things, regardless rich or poor. 'There's no tag, that's odd.'  A lady pops up behind me and really energetically says "Hello there! I see you've found our opening gifts!"

"Opening gifts?" I question and lift my right eyebrow for added effect.

"Oh yes! Our opening gifts! Our opening gifts are an equal to everything you buy in store today and online tomorrow!" She beamed.

'Gross, she's so happy... Yuck... Right, that's what I'M supposed to be.'  I mentally roll my eyes, "So, I get a stuffed animal for every purchase?"

"Exactly! We have plenty of merchandise! Viewtubers, Bands, Artists, Instaspacers. You name it, we have it! And if we don't, we will ship it to your house for free!"

'I swear, this chick smells like liquid AID's and a fake sad sap happiness.' 
"Cool." I say bluntly. 'Why am I so blunt about everything?'

"Oh yes, it is cool! And we're having a half off sale today along with the stuffed animals! Feel free to look around, we have plenty of stuff here!"

'I'm starting to think she's toxic to be around... '  I say nothing to her after that and continue to look around the store for anything I don't already have or had in my lifetime. To my surprise, there's a lot. There's swimming suits and pool floaties, goggles and thongs. 'Its almost the school year, I don't think half this stuff is even in season yet, or worse.... Way out of season. I'm not really one to be picky of fashion but at least take the summer apparel down when summer is over. It makes me wanna go back in time even more.'  I stare and reminisce at the swimsuits a little longer and a red, orange and yellow bikini grabs my attention. 'This wouldn't look half bad on me if I wasn't so god damn fat.'

All of a sudden, something pops out of no where, "Hi!" I flinch a bit, 'Ugh... these employee's need a bell or something...'   "OoOo, whatcha got there!? The new bikini? It doesn't really go with your physique, now does it? You're better off with a one piece in my opinion."

'Ouch, little harsh there don't you think?' "No, I don't think I asked for your opinion, I'm fine thank you." I roll my eyes and continue on through the store with the swimsuit in hand. 'Some people just don't know when to leave you alone.'

I overhear a high pitched conversation from the far corner of the store, where the kids toys are, "Are those things real?"

"I don't know, they look real."

"Do you wanna ask?"

"No! I'm not embarrassing myself like that!" She says mortified. 'Ugh, here we go again.'  I roll my eyes and continue to listen.

"Well I'M gonna ask if YOU'RE not gonna." One of the little girls walks over to me almost confidently and says "What are those?"

"What are what?" I retort, mentally rolling my eyes. 'I roll my eyes a lot,  don't I?'

"Those things on your head." She says pointing to my wolf ears.

"Wolf... ears?"

"Well... Duh but like, are they real?" She says looking like she wants to touch them.

"No, but they do move from time to time. They're remote operated." I pull out my small sound bar remote from my pocket and click a button and move my ears along with the clicking. 'I hate doing this, so much. I knew some kid was gonna ask. '

"Woah, that's really cool. Can I try?"

"Umm... No because I don't want you to break it." I say partly annoyed.

"I promise I won't break it." She tries giving me puppy dog eyes. Puppy dog eyes only work with Rosco... My dog.

"No." I say bluntly. 'Seriously kid, leave me alone. I'm loosing my patience.'

"Please?" She persists.

"Listen kid, " I bend down to her level, "I'm about thiiiis close from whacking my tail in your face so I suggest you quit it and go back to your friend." I harshly whisper to her while glaring. She stomps off back to her friend and probably goes to tell mommy and daddy that a big bad wolf lady scared her. Not very far from the truth to be honest.

I continue shopping in Frulies and find everything that I could ever need or want from that store for at least a month. I ended up buying 2 pairs of pants, a long sleeve shirt that said 'Get freaky, or get out', 2 ruby and sapphire bracelets, and a nice black beanie.

As I checkout and step out of the store,  I get immediately yelled at by that little girls monster mother. "You're going to pay for making my little girl cry." 'Wow, entitled much?'

"What exactly do you want now?" I sigh and roll my eyes at her. She stays silent while crossing her arms. "Ohhh, you want money, right? Well... Here's a dollar. Go win yourself the lottery. Bitch." I give her a dollar and make my way back home with my purchased items and my six stuffed animals that are lazily tossed into a big sack.
