It has been at least 30 hours since I slept due to the class chalet I had; ironically, I'm not sleepy. I tried sleeping, but to no avail.
Anyway, I was playing TFC, and my door bell rang. Initially I thought it was the caterer, but the deliveryman came earlier on, which means this person had gotta' be a stranger(ALL my family members hold the door bell down for 3 consecutive rings). Naturally, and instinctively, I open the door.
"Good afternoon sir! I'm selling these tickets for teenagers from single-parent families, who are between 12 to 21...," the girl went.
Well, people who know me well will know nothing matters more than the price. I searched every corner of the ticket to see how much it was ere I make a big mistake of purchasing something that's "overkill-ed". The figure that was printed on the ticket totally shocked me - $10.
"OMFGWTFSMLJ!? It's freakin' $10? I don't have that kinda' money man. (I'm kinda' hard up now you see) I seriously think I should just reject her," I thought.
"Hey man, I'm really sorry, but I'm really short of cash. Really sorry. Sorry man," I proceeded on to blabber hoping she'll really understand.
Guess what? She gave me this "I'm-not-gonna-believe-that-dumb-excuse-you-just gave-sir!" look, and just turned around. Her joyous expression and gorgeous smile, that coruscated shafts of sunlight, turned to an expression that's filled with displease and disappointment.
--------------------------------------
I mean, seriously, why the hell would I want to lie to her, man? Why can't she just give me the benefit of the doubt? I think the world's really becoming more distrusting, man. Well, if she really doesn't believe what I had said, then, I can only say, "That's too bad, my friend, you just came at the wrong time."
Even though I've never tried selling such tickets before to strangers, but at least I've been through flag days, man. I know how it feels like to be treated like you are transparent or even like a pest! That was why I gave her the best smile I could ever give at that moment, and even said so many "sorrys". Com'on, give me a break.
P.S. I've really gotta start on my assignments! Yap actually completed the FM assignment! Horrid!
