AJ always hated going grocery shopping, so every time she had to go, she would get bulk size of everything just so she can delay the next trip. It took her over an hour trying to get everything she needed, and finally it was down to the last item on her list: cereal. Pushing her cart down the cereal aisle, she was giddy that she can finally be done and go home. Just as she spotted the last box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, her brain registered that they switched its usual low hanging spot to the top shelf, a spot where AJ would have extreme difficulty in reaching. Determined to have her cereal, she was about to climb the shelves when another hand reached out and snatched her beloved away.
“Hey! That was mine!”
Caro wasn't really in the best mood. Losing a race wasn't a new feeling, but losing yesterday with one of the most annoying girls around was not her cup of tea and it had left her with a bitter taste in her mouth. She thought that maybe going grocery shopping would help her lose some of her frustration, especially if she had some good Green Day playing on her headphones the whole time. Honestly, it seemed like a great idea. The bad energy was actually very close to going away when she reached the cereal aisle, not even making a face when she saw how high the box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Without a second thought, she climbed the shelves, holding herself tightly to them with one hand and getting the box with the other. If Victor was there, he would for sure say that she was a monkey and that thought almost made her smile, until she saw a blonde girl beside her. She was moving her mouth, but Caro could not hear above 'Wake me up when September Ends' so she took one headphone out. "Were you saying something to me?"
AJ glared down at the shorter brunette holding her beloved hostage. It was clearly her box of cereal, and what was that whole climbing display? Annoyed at the thought of having to go without having cereal for even just one day, AJ pointed at the box clutched in the brunette's hands. "That, is mine. So hand it over."
Caroline’s whole face turned into the perfect image of confusion, actually looking at the box of cereal for half a second before eyeing the girl back. "The fuck?" Her voice even lacked heat, she just didn't know what the girl meant. "I literally just took it, how can it be yours?" Maybe this was a prank? Must be that.
Rolling her eyes as she sighed exasperatedly. Why are there so many stupid people in this world? AJ had just wanted to get her damn groceries and then get back to her dorm room where she can be happily alone with her food. "I was going to take it, and you, you did your little monkey trick and stole it from me." She grumbled, crossing her arms over her chest as she glared down at the brunette.
Caro lifted her eyebrows so high, that if she was a cartoon, they would be completely out of her face. "Are you an idiot?" Again, her voice lacked the energy to be an insult, it was an honest question. "I took it, so it's mine. I don't even know why we are having this conversation?" Who even was this girl that thought that she was just gonna handle the box cause she wanted? Insane.
Is she for real right now? AJ narrowed her eyes in offense, "Listen here, I saw that box first so clearly, it's mine." Why is this little hobbit being so difficult? Just hand over the box and they can all go their merry little way. God, she's already spent too much time in this germ filled disaster of a store, why is this her life? All she wanted was some god damned cereal.
