#1OSS - convenience store

one and only part

"i have to buy food. i have to buy food. i have to buy food. i have to buy foo-

"JESUS CHRIST BRAIN STOP IT!"

i furiously whispered when i couldn't stand myself anymore. my sister flinched and turned her back against me, maybe my whisper went a little too loud.

i tried to concentrate on my work. it was already 2 am, and sitting on a chair, clicking, typing and facing the laptop's screen is indeed, making me very hungry.

i bit my lip, trying my best to focus and ignore what my brain was saying. it just keeps getting louder and louder.

*thud*

i slammed my fists on the table and exhaled.

"fine. you're getting what you want. are you happy now? my dummy dum dumb little brain? piece of crap."

i murmured as i slowly stood up, grabbed my wallet, keys and a hoodie.

i slowly crept out of the room, avoiding to make the slightiest noise and not wake my sister up. i closed the door and made my way outside. i uncovered my scooter and dragged it until i was atleast half a meter away.

the convenience store is atleast a kilometer away, and im thankful for my brain that it thought of bringing a hoodie. but still was too stupid to wear shorts.

the air was cold and damp, it just rained a few hours ago. my whole body was shivering. seeing the tall sign of the store gave me relief.

i parked my scooter and smiled at the guard that opened the door. good thing he's doing his job unlike those other guards that only look at you trying to open the door because of all the stuff that's in your hands. rude.

i looked around the store and grabbed every craving that i had minutes ago. waste money guys. not on clothes, but on food.

i laid everything on the counter and waited for the cashier to process everything. i paid and happily went outside, i think i even hopped for a second due to excitement.

i placed the paper bag on the floor to open the u-box and when i looked on the floor...

my food was gone.

my attention was caught by a man running with a paper bag on his hand. he headed towards the corner into a narrow alley.

is it dangerous? yes.
is my food in danger? yes.
what must you do when someone is in danger? save them.

and that's what i'm gonna do.

"HEY!" - i ran towards the direction he was headed in. i ran as fast as i could. i'm not a fast runner, and i can say my stamina is very low. but for my food, i'll do everything.

i continued to follow him, into the depths of the passageway and while running i just realized, it was like a small maze. if i lose him, then i'm definitely not gonna be able to go out of this alleyway.

i ran faster, but trying to avoid the noise as possible. good thing i wasn't wearing slippers that are so loud when you run. i was about to turn left where he was when i saw that he already sat down. i think he doesn't know that i was able to catch up on him.

i peeked and saw that he was starting to open the paper bag. oh no my poor food. i should've called the guard when i had the chance. oh you're so stupid you dimwit!

whatever. i'm gonna save my food. i'm gonna grab it, and i'm gonna run.  as fast as i can.

i slowly walked towards the bushes where i can walk to him without him seeing me. my eyes were on the prize. his back was against me, and he was already starting to eat a pack of chips. wait that's my favorite!
