pooping is fun?

Thinking, one of the places I adore most is the library and there's only one big one in this town. I can't move my scheduled days for reading neither can I change them.

Do I leave this town?

But I haven't got enough money to move out.

Sigh...how could I have been so careless. No! It isn't me it's that freak lady stalking me.

She said she wasn't stalking, pish posh. How would she have known my spot in the library and days I show up at the library. What a weirdo.

And now I have to do something.

I groan and forcibly open the fridge up. "Why are mornings so.....argh!" If only I could just wake up at noon.

I'm Adeline Jones, not a college student, introverted and a loner. I'm currently in front of my fridge which is half empty or as the optimists would say it's half full.

I can't deceive myself, it's very half empty. I close it up.

Picking up my phone I scroll up and tap on an icon/ app. It's one of the known and best app for novel writing and writing is what I do most times.

Apparently, I'm not ready for contact with the world outside thus working is overwhelming and impossible. I'm just surviving on how much readers love my books but lately I haven't received anything other than the usual. How strange.

The perks I get as a reader and a writer doubles and even tripples every week but recently it's all been down. I'm currently struggling with the question "how can I make my book get more reviews and earn more rewards"

I sigh and stare at my ratings, still the same not a single change in the statistics. "Why!? Don't you guys love my book anymore??. My living depends on you guys common" I scream at my phone almost in tears

Not real tears though. It's just my way of venting my frustration.

I check my wallet and I think I've got enough here to go shopping for groceries and perhaps something sweet and of course some dry food for Kiki.

I wrap my self in a warm sweater to contrast the cold atmosphere with a knitted cap on my head. I walk to the Mart. It's not far from my home.

Minutes later, I'm picking out new toys for Kiki. I cry as I put the mouse toy into my shopping cart. It's not even in my budget, I just love him too much.

This Mart is really big. I'm in isle 5 of section 3. I look around and there's no staff available. I need to locate the isle with frozen foods and some vegetables and maybe ice cream (another impulse buying decision).

"Adeline?" I hear. I froze up for a second but immediately acted like I didn't hear anything. No one from this place should know who I am, it's possible they could've meant someone else.

But the tone, it could also mean that the person wants to be sure my name is Adeline and has called out for a reaction from me. I'm not giving that chance.

I keep walking. Maybe I should end the shopping here. I look at my shopping cart, I can't even leave now except if I'll join kiki in eating her meals or perhaps the chew toy is actually edible.

It'll be too sus if I leave now, there's a possibility they might follow me.

eek! I feel a hand on my shoulder. I freeze in the spot. I never learnt how to fight what do I do? Should I start running? I shouldn't let them see my face.

To think I practiced so much what to do when faced in a situation like this one only for me to forget everything and just stand like a tall no average height tree.

Okay....I'll just keep my head low, if I turn now I can easily push them and head for the entrance and disappear from there. Yes I can do it, I can do it.

I turn around slowly with my head hung low.

"It is you" Said the person in a laugh. Said the female person in a laugh.

Confused and surprised I looked up without thinking. I narrow my eyes....oh, it's this person.

Not sure why but I sighed in relief.

She seemed surprised for a bit, "were you scared I was a bad guy trying to kidnap you in a mart?" She asked almost laughing

I look away, flushed "I wasn't scared" that's right I was prepared to fight you.

Recalling I glare at her "what are you doing here? You're still stalking me!?" I ask. Did she follow me from my home? Does she know where I live now? I'll definitely have to leave this town soon...

She stared at me unbelievably like I was a child who just spoke gibberish. "You.... have a very weird social life. You ask me what I'm doing in a mart? I'm taking a poo" she replies sarcastically

I had to bottle up my pent up frustration. I'm already upset about my book problem why did she show up here today, to piss me off!.

"There are so many other place to shop why'd you come here if you aren't stalking me" I ask, I'll definitely catch her off guard now.

"Listen" she placed one hand on my head. I squint my eyes and pout, I'm not a child you!. Although I'm shorter than her.

"Not everyone wants to hurt you you know some people just want to be friends with you" she said

That caused my heart to beat in a weird rhythm. Been long since I had one of those, friends. The only friend I had was my mother, the only person I could trust.

She continues, "besides you're not that special I'd rather take a poo than stalk you"

"Can you stop with the word poo!" It's revolting!

"Why? Isn't pooping fun?" She asked

What!!! What kind of weirdo is this...

I sigh, so she isn't stalking me or she prepared this speech to throw me off and make me loose guard.
