Try not to get caught

" Here is the list of what you can afford " he said placing the menu on the table , taking the menu and flipping it out she took a look at the orders it contained snacks that couldn't even last her for an hour .

" Thanks but I would love to take my leave now " she said giving back the menu book to the man walking out of the restaurant she decided to go back to the fountain and see if she could get some coins

" I promise to pay it back if I grow up " she said to herself thoughtfully crossing the road she headed straight for the fountain on her arrival she found a familiar coat and shoes it was Mario's tiptoeing slowly in order not to make any sound she got to the place where he placed his coins carefully

grabbing as many as her hands could contain she stuffed them into her jeans pocket on turning back to placed the ones he had with him he caught her

" you little brat " he said to himself swimming rapidly back to the surface on seeing him she grabbed some more and took to her heels running as fast as she could and crossing the road in a hurry she was out of sight getting out of the water and putting his shoes on in a hurry all to find out she was gone

" this girl got guts " he said fuming with angry grabbing his bag with annoyance he left the park in search for her . Emily hurriedly got into a bakery " can I have half a loaf please " she said hurriedly she couldn't contain the hunger any longer

" what type would..... " " any type " she replied not letting him complete his statement reaching into the bread shelf he gave her half a loaf " how much does it cost " she asked impatiently " just ten coins " he said with a surprise look on his face pulling out a few coins from her pocket and giving it to him she grabbed her bread and left the bakery it was the first time she ate lunch so late .

Walking and eating the bread In a hurry she could feel her tummy calming down a little grabbing a bottle of water from her bag she hurriedly drank all the water in the bottle letting out a sigh of satisfaction she began to eat the remains of the bread slowly enjoying every taste " Am sorry " she said bumming into someone " ohh really " he replied turning back to see who it was " ohh... " she exclaimed " didn't thought I'll meet you " she said raising an eye brow

" you stole for me little brat " he said fuming with anger

" did I ?" " or didn't I do you a favor by keeping it safe " she continued mockingly

" then give it back " he said angrily

" as you can see I've spent it already " she said waving the remaining loaf up

" you little thing " he said angrily

" A hungry girl gotta do what she gotta do asshole " she said walking backwards standing there Mario was speechless and surprised crossing to the other side of the street she took a bend and was out of sight walking for a while she decided to to call Mrs Sarah crossing the road she headed towards a telephone boothe putting in a coin and dailing their home cell she waited for someone to pick

" hello it's Ella speaking " a voice came from the other end

" hey Ella it's Emily " Emily replied

" Emily!!!! " she said beaming up with joy " how you doing and hope you are safe " she continued

" see Ella sorry for what I did but can't come back again and by the way am doing great and I'll miss you all bye " she said hanging up surprised at Emily reaction she placed back the telephone . Emily came out of the telephone boothe and headed back to the sub station It was evening already and she was feeling sleepy remembering the hardness of the floor she decided to find something soft to lay on that night finding some empty cartoons in different places she flatened them to make them wide putting them together she headed back to the train station placing them down she slept like a baby .

Waking up very early in the morning on hearing the sound of her hungry stomach she didn't take dinner so felt very hungry grabbing her bag she took a look at what she had it wasn't going to be enough for the day getting up she made her way to the fountain she might be lucky to find some coins it was very early and cold grabbing her head warmer and putting it on she headed for the park on reaching the fountain she found a girl she was about her age but had a blonde hair

" can you get some for me too " Emily asked politely " can't swim " she continued feeling shy

" ok but make sure you keep an eye out for the cops if you don't we both are in trouble " she said placing her jacket down and putting off her shoe before diving in, coming back to the surface several times to drop what she had Emily watched out for the cops

" I think I got something " Emily cried out to her coming out of the water she putted on her shoes grabbing the money and her jacket she began to run

" run..... " she shouted when she saw Emily standing there confused nodding her head she ran the opposite direction not a very fast runner the cops quickly caught up with her grabbing her jacket they pulled her back

" where did you think you are going brat " the police man said place her down

" no where " she screamed " and let me go " continued

" What were you doing there? " he asked her

" just making a wish " she lied

" why did you ran away on seeing us? " he said looking at her

" was just scared " she replied rubbing her hands together

" who was the second girl ?" they asked

" don't know her " she replied

" you saw her face right " they continued

" yes she was close to me but didn't see her face " she lied again seeing their reaction they were confused " an long sighted i can only see things from afar without my glasses " she lied again " gosh were did she learn to lie this much " she said to herself

stiring at Emily he was looking down by now they had pity on her

" u can go but next time you won't be this lucky " he said " and be more careful next time " he continued entered his car and drove off .
