Focused on the unfinished sketch of a roller coaster resembling a snake in the back of her notebook, Zuri pretended to pay attention to whatever the other was saying. All she knew was it was a story she probably wouldn’t care for. She kept her eyes on the paper while giving a nod every now and then along with a few uh huh’s and ohh’s to make them think she was listening. However, when she noticed her drawing was just about finished, a sigh left her mouth as she though of the two choices she had.
A) Take 10 minutes out of her life to listen to what the other was talking about.
B) Be honest (and maybe a little mean)
Being the sweet little cupcake Zuri is not, she decided honesty was best. “Yeah, that’s nice but on a scale from 1 to 10, how much do you think I care about this story?” She questioned while closing the notebook. Yes, she could’ve put her honesty is a nicer way but considering she’d rather cut straight to the point, she couldn’t care less whether it sounded rude or not. “I’m gonna be honest, I’ve been ignoring you since you got here.”
