Shopping for {ineteraction}//Kitty//blitz

[circe murdock d4b 🌊 minie]

G A I A C R O S S Mom sent me to do some shopping today, I barley go shopping we either don't have the money, or mom sends one of my older sister, because they are much more reliable then me. This is the first time in a long time, that anyone trusts me with anything. They don't even trust me to go to the reaping without volunteering (though daddy would love that). I step into the bakery, I know we don't have much money but I think I deserve a little treat. "Hello" I said walking up to the counter and looking at what I should buy. template by chelsey

I was busy decorating a neat little cupcake for myself. A flower here a flower there. Mommy and daddy allows me to have a cupcake once a week if I see enough bake goods. I have to bake it myself, but at least I can eat it. I look at the cupcake for a minute. I took it in. I would remember this cupcake like every other bake good I make forever. Then as I wipe a finger across the frosting and throw it in my mouth the bell rings. I set the cup cake down and turn around. It was a kid in my grade level. I remember the face a bit. She says hello not noticing a kid her age was behind the counter. I talk quick." So what can I get you?" I start talking fast." Every desert is very good, and especially the cup cakes." I grin a second more then after taking a closer look I see her scars. I shut up. I do not know what to say to that. " Ummmmm...." I find myself staring, I find my breathing increasing. I felt awful I wanted to comment but I did not want to make her feel awkward or sad about what I say." Um um are you alright?" I tap the glass container quick." What I mean is where did you um get those scars?" I lean over the counter to see what she was looking at I tried to keep eye contact away after what I just said.

G A I A C R O S S The girl at the counter is in my class I think, though she definitely comes from a higher class of people. She works here which means her parents own it. We might be poor but nobody expects kids like us too work unless it is a family business. She says something about cupcakes, but I don't eat those, daddy says they are unhealthy and if I get reaped they will not help me to win. To me they have become a luxerie and we can't have those, we are too poor for that. "I'm not allowed to eat cupcakes, their unhealthy" I mutter to her. The scares she has noticed them, I quickly pull my sweater over them to hide them. They are a few thin lines on the wrist that my dad made with a knife. I look at her with confused look "What scares" though she will notice I'm a terrible liar. template by chelsey

I listen as she says she says how cupcakes are unhealthy. Everything is unhealthy here though. I could not wrap my mind around it. A cupcake is good not to mention. I shake my head quick. My blonde hair flapping in all of the wrong directions. I ignore the thought of my ears showing. I am about to speak when she speaks reminding me about an earlier comment that I already forgot about. I look up as she says " what scars." she covers them up quick. I look at her.
" Those scars silly." I say dropping my voice a bit as I point at her scars. My voice drops off a bit then I change the subject a bit." And umm everything in here is not healthy I suppose you have to risk the unhealthy side in order to enjoy the sweetness." Then I remembered the bread." I mean there is bread too if you want, but what is the fun of that." I look back at the loaves of bread on the shelf. Then I get closer and whisper." If you are worry about prices I can give it to you half off. I won't tell my parents." I lean back wards and wink.

G A I A C R O S S Silly, I'm not silly, nothing in my life is silly and ever will be silly. I have the worst life ever, and not to mention I'm not silly I never joke around, how could she think that. (She doesn't know that dumbass) Jessica's mean voice rings in my head. I look at her thinking what to say, it takes a while, but I did something I usually wouldn't do, but maybe it would help me make friends. "I'll tell you, but not here, somewhere private". My voice is almost a whisper as I lean towards here to tell her my verdict. Half the price of a cupcake, daddy and mommy would be mad, they would hurt me tell me I am useless, but those are all things I have heard before.

I run my hands on the glass countertop. I did not expect much of a reply back from the one conversation but she gave it to me. "I'll tell you, but not here, somewhere private". I nodded I was ready to exit the building grabbing my light jacket when she spoke again. "I have instructions only to buy bread my family is highly restricted against anything sweet" I turn back to her. She must really not like cupcakes because what family would turn down a half price cupcake. I put my jacket on and went back to the business side of my personality. " Ok so you want a loaf of bread now or after you talk to me?" I turn around looking through all of the loafs of bread there is making sure before I offer up a specific kind it is there." I recommend blueberry bread, but that is just me. " I saw that there were no more blueberry breads left." Umm or rasin bread." I turned around" So what will it be, I can also pop in a different one if you don't see the type you like here?" I tapped the glass counter a bit anxious about the secret.

G A I A C R O S S I scan the counter for something that looks good, raisin bread also too sweet, everything in a bakery just seems sweet as if it was attack of the sweet things. I can’t bring anything sweet home or I will get into trouble and to be honest that is the last thing I need, because I am always in trouble. I bit my lower lip to take the risk of taking raisin bread or just asking if they have whole wheat. “I’ll take whole wheat if you have any” I told her. “Let’s go outside where we can talk, because this story might take a while. I searched my pants pocket for a few coins to pay for the bread. template by chelsey

I follow her eyes towards the Rasin bread. I nod and am ready to turn around when something different comes out of her mouth. I turn back I’ll take whole wheat if you have any” I nod whole wheat is some what sweet I suppose. I prefer regular. I turn around and start searching for the bread."Let’s go outside where we can talk, because this story might take a while." She spoke again. I reach for the loaf of bread and put it in a small brown bag. I turn around and set it on the table. I see her looking for coins in her pocket and I know she probably is a seam child. I took pitty. I told a lie." Only two coins" That was a lie it was four. I slipped two of my own coins into the drawer of money." After you pay lets go." I smile I am now tapping my feet. What is the story I wonder.

[circe murdock d4b 🌊 minie]

G A I A C R O S S I hand over two coins, that I fished out of my pocket and placed them on the counter, scanning what else there was. knew I had enough money, but if I give it out for the wrong things, everything will just go down hill for me, as if it already isn't. I took the bag where she placed the bread in and stuck my left hand in my coat pocket while my right carried the bag. I smiled at her and headed for the door, knowing if she wanted to know then she would come. I didn't stop till I was outside in the fresh air, the way I liked it. template by chelsey

I took the two coins and dropped them in the drawer. I saw her eyes scan a bit more. Then she walks right out of the door. I close the money drawer tight. I look behind me and grab a day old cupcake. I would pay my parents after. It was a day old and it had no frosting, but that just makes it more affordable for me to pay for it. I Figure she won't mind just the same it will be a free cupcake. I quickly closed everything down. I will take my lunch break now. I exit the shop locking the door behind me. I saw her there right in front of where I was. " Ummm so you tell me what happened and I have a cupcake for you?" I figured she may accept it if she feels like I am paying a debt of some sort I brushed my one foot up against the dirt and snow. I waited for her reply. I then remember she did not see the cup cake I put it on my palm. I extend my hand in front of her." See looks good right, I mean not the best cup cake, but you know I only have so much money to buy cupcakes for a week." I look awkwardly down at my shoes. I sure hope I did not say anything wrong ....

[circe murdock d4b 🌊 minie]

G A I A C R O S S I looked at the cupcake, this girl really didn’t understand the word no. I told her already way to many times that I didn’t want the dam cupcake and that I wouldn’t even accept a free one “Look about the cupcake thanks that was nice but no thanks, I don’t need anything that isn’t healthy” I don’t think she will get that, everybody here takes every unhealthy thing they can get, but not me. My dream is to win the games, and unhealthy food won’t help me with that. I took a breath and looked down to my arm “How much do you know about the Cross family” template by chelsey

OOC:sorry it took me so long

[kittyoemily]

She replies back saying how "Look about the cupcake thanks that was nice but no thanks, I don’t need anything that isn’t healthy” I nod and look down at my shoes awkwardly. I quickly put the cupcake in my pocket. I caught myself frowning and I reminded myself she means nothing by it and I look up with a small smile on my face again."How much do you know about the Cross family” she spoke again. I scrunch my face. Who is the cross family, I know I have heard about them around the district but did I ever hear about them for real? Like did I listen, do I know about them. I am thinking hard but give up. I shake my head. " well I don't know enough to say so...... I have heard of the cross family." I look over my shoulder for a second. Then I look back at her. I whisper back " why?" I double check over my shoulder again." Is it important?"

[circe murdock d4b 🌊 minie]

G A I A C R O S S Hell ya is that family important. Actualy it is everything, this is my family that we are talking about. I mean the whole thing is about the cross family. the way dad beates me and the way everyone hates me. I have scars because dad is trying to make a better person of me, a fighter to be exact. He wants us to win the games at least I want to win the games. I bit my lower lip and thought of how to start "Well for starters my name is Gaia Cross" I shoudl have mentioned that earlier i was about to tell a complete stranger about my life and didn't even tell her my name. "and these scars come from my dad" I saw no need to to go through long stories but instead just to get straight to the point. template by chelsey

[kittyoemily]

I looked at her as she spoke. Is was finally given her name and I nod happily. Realizing we were supposed to be quiet I quickly slow my nodding and look around. No One Was around still. I sigh and continued to breathe wondering if I should restate my name. She must know it right ? Then I also thought about how cross family was important. Oh her family. Before I was able to speak my correlation she tells me what her father does to her. The unspeakable. My expression shows it. Mouth opened eyes tearing up a bit. " that's awful" I say it a bit loud forgetting we were being quiet.
