Diet Coke? How Exciting. [open]

[Pixie Woods]

I used to make the light shine for you

!i! The doorbell above me jingled as I pushed open the door. Almost the instant the door closed a wave of heat hit me. Boy it really was hot in here today. Today I was wearing my denim shorts, sandals and a crop top. Nothing interesting, nothing that made me stick out from the crowd. Yet I felt comfy in it, I felt me. I smiled to myself, as I started to wait in the queue There was three people infront of me. Right at the front about to be called to a till was a woman with about six kids. I muttered something to myself and blushed as she turned round to look at me. Opps. I need to think before I say things. Tucking some of my hair behind my right ear, I sighed. Releived that the woman was busy being served and not busy staring at me. It gave me the creeps alittle. I stood there with my arms folded in my own little world before I realised that someone behind me pushed me towards a till. Be quicker next time will you! I blushed again before walking over to the free till.

The sun has left my sky.

!i! Umm I'll have a medium diet coke and a small fries please. I smiled towards the lady behind the counter, but I dont think she really could be bothered to smile back. As she asked if that was all, I nodded quickly and handed over 2 dollars. After she gave me my change back and I was waiting for my food, I leaned on the table and looked back at the guy who had pushed me. Yet he wasnt there, confused I looked all around untill I found him at the till next to me. Umm, sorry about the till thing. He shrugged it off and I felt quite annoyed once the till lady gave me my fries and diet coke. I muttered a thanks before going and sitting at a table for two. Yet since I was on my own, I layed my legs out on the chair opposite me. I took a sip of my coke, before thinking about Dad back home.

Emma headed into the McDonalds. She had decided to drive here and get away from the school for a bit. Today , she was wearing a pair of jeans and a purple poplin. Her hair was pulled into two pigtails and hung over each shoulder in gentle waves. She spied a brown haired girl that seemed a bit flustered. After Emma ordered, she gently stopped beside the girl.

"Dont fret over that. People here are utterly vultures," Emma said lightly. "Are you new to this area?"

She thingyed her head to the side in a curious manner as she she looked at the girl. Emma could tell the girl was a bit spooked, uncertainly was leaking from the girls body like an oil spill. Emma continued to beam at her.

"I'm Emma Brown," She introduced brightly. "Come and sit with me."

Emma headed over to a booth and slid into it. She beamed and gestured for the girl to come and sit across from her. This way she wouldn't feel so edgy and relax a bit. She got the feeling that she was knew , so Emma could understand why the the girl was feeling off. It was only natural, specially being in a new town and a new area. It was hard. Emma waited for the girl to sit.
