Run Away

Am I a Bad Girl?

We had finally made it to the store we were going to steal from, at least that's what I'm assuming. I was so nervous. I didn't want to be known as a stealer! What if we got caught? Then I'd go to jail, and there's a better chance for my parents to find me! I couldn't do it, I had to say something.

"Look Zach, I don't want to do this. I don't think it's a good idea."

"Kendall it's fine, we aren't doing anything bad!"

We aren't doing anything bad? That's how he thought of stealing? I took a deep breathe, and walked into the store with him.

"Yo Zach, wassup my brother?"

"Hey, hey! Looking good man! Hey can I ask you a favour?"

"Ya sure, I'd do anything for my brother!"

"Do you have the rope I asked for earlier?"

"Yes I do! Let me go grab it. I'll be back in a sec."

So this is how he's going to get it? Distract him, while he grabs the rope then runs? I didn't quiet understand. They seemed to know eachother so well. Why would he steal from him?

"Alright man I got yo rope."

"Thanks man."

Zach then started to pull something out from his pocket. I was so confused. I thought he didn't have money?

"Wow Zack no, you keep it for yo' self man. You need it way more then me!"

"But you always give me the rope for free. I feel bad. Just take this. It's something I made the other day please."

"Your sure? Cause I don't need this man."

"Yes I'm sure. I got tons of them at home."

"Alright, alright, I'll take one."

"Here you go."

"Thank you, now y'all have a good day and be safe, alright?"

"Don't worry we will. Thanks again!"

We walked out of the store. I felt so stupid. Why did I think Zach would steal? He certainly didn't seem the type that would. Anyways wouldn't that put him in even more danger? I looked over at him, I needed to apologize.

"Zach, I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what?"

"I thought- I thought you were going to steal the rope. I'm sorry."

"What makes you think that?"

"Because you said you were getting the rope, but you don't have any money. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you like that."

"Kendall, it's ok. If you said you were getting something, but you had no money, I would think the same thing. Now come on, lets get back, so we can build you that swing."

"Ok, lets go."

I honestly was so relieved when he forgave me. He really truly was a good boy.

"Hey you there! Stop!"

Zack, and I looked back to see who it was. It was a police officer. I was terrified. What if my parents found me now? My heart was racing. I looked at Zach. He gave me the signal to run.
