Squelch ! Squelch ! Squelch !
An elderly lady shot her the stink eye.
Squelch ! Squelch ! Squelch !
A group of teens furrowed brows angrily at her.
Squelch ! Squelch! Squelch !
Even the ground she paced on attempted to trip her no doubt exhausted with her relentless stomping but Lily did not care, infact she stomped harder...
SQUELCH! SQUELCH! SQUELCH!
Hands clasped behind her back and eyes more focused on the wet pavement, Lily continued pacing the bus stop.
A girl, roughly her age, in a warm yellow wool sweater, a pair of jeans and white pair of sneakers; stared disdainfully.
Lily happened to look up and her eyes met with the youth. Her black orbs glared unapologetically and the girl looked away.
Who were they to judge her ?
What guts did they have ?
Did they know what she had gone through?
The last question made her pause dramatically in the middle of the bus stop, hands akimbo.
If they liked, they could leave the stop.
If they also liked , they could bulge out eyes at her as the cartoons did.
Lily did not care...
Lily was a fuming mess.
At last the evening bus arrived at the stop.
She boarded first and sank into the nearest seat.
Lily was weak.
How she had had a rough day !
When she stepped into the dingy diner at seven a.m in the morning, she became a donkey !
The day's work was rougher than usual, considering the janitor had resigned the late evening before causing the manager to add Lily all cleaning duties sans lifting the pay to eat policy especially for her.
Her stomach growled at the thought.
No breakfast ,
Four slices of pizza for lunch,
No supper, she was certain.
Lily had no cents besides her bus fare and when it clocked two o'clock after a merciless shift of mopping, scrubbing, washing, assisting the cooks, serving customers ;she decided to take matters into her own hands.
Slowly, with a mastered stealthy pussy walk, Lily snuck into the kitchen when all the chefs had temporarily left.
Calculative, she targeted the mouth watering slices of cheesy pizza atop the counter. Lily's hands pounced, gobbling up a slice in two bites. She grabbed another, gobbled it up too before the kitchen door swung open with a bang and she was caught like a deer in the headlights.
Her mouth was half closed around a bitten pizza dangling over her chin, her eyes wide at a fuming obese Mrs. Heather while her right hand froze mid air, another slice squeezed in it.
She was in deep trouble.
“ Lily ! What is this ! ”
She quickly ate the rest of the slice.
“ My goodness! What has gotten into you ! ”
“ I ...an...elan..”
“ Swallow that damn food before you talk back at me young lady ! ”
