Big escape: little thief

Sicily city. Italy

Supermarket 9:00am. 🌞Cool morning 🌞

…..

The bright sun shoned across the city's big supermarket, the villagers are busy selling goods. The supermarket was filled with people since it's was their market day.

A girl was seen running as some marketers pursed her in a hot chase, she was wearing a mask which made her face unrecognizable,her long blonde hair flying as the wind blew, she was holding a black nylon filled with fruits and freshly baked bread which she stole, she ran taking different routes nevertheless the chase continue. Her feet was hurting due to her running, only on her bare foot, the ground was slowly becoming hot becoming unbearable for her little soft foot to bear.

"Come back here little thief" one of the marketer said as he stopped running to catch his breath. The girl turned back, sticked her tongue out at him and continued running.

"Hey come back" he said already frustrated but she already took another route and was out of sight. "Shoot " he cursed and went back with the other marketer. "I wonder who that little thief is" he sighed and went back to his stand. " The goods she stole are worth more than €10" he said to the other marketer and they sighed.

The girl ran and check her back to find no one pursuing her. She removed her mask and walked a few miles stopping infornt of a small hut, infornt of the hut was a man in his late 40's waiting for her.

"Good morning uncle" the girl greeted and the man sighed.

"Catty where have you been " he asked looking at her nylon bag suspiciously and she quickly hid it behind her back and he sighed. " Don't tell me you stole that" he cooed. " Sorry uncle but at least we get to eat today " Caterina said bringing the bag out and he collected it and hugged her in a warm embrace." I'm sorry Catty, I couldn't fulfill my duties as your uncle" Thompson said and she broke the hug to stare at him only to find traces of tears at the corner of his eyes. " Uncle please don't cry, it's not your fault" Caterina said and cleaned his tears. "Look it's fresh fruit and bread" she said smiling showing him the content of the nylon.

"Let's eat then" he said and they walked inside the hut.

They settled down in the parlour placing the items on the floor and ate hungrily. "Catty" Thompson called and she looked up and dropped the bread on her plate. "Yes" she replied. "I'm sorry for everything you are going through I don't even assist you talk less of working, I only gamble the little money we have hoping for quick cash" he said sadly and Caterina sighed getting on her feet and folded her hands glaring at him playfully. " Uncle Tommy how many times do I have to tell you to stop apologizing, I know you gamble, drink and party with your lazy friends mostly especially Mr Patrick but I know how stressed and painful things are for you but having you in my life after my parents died in that unfortunate accident losing everything to some lost course, u till took care of me and I'm grateful, thank you " she said at the verge of tears. Thank you she mumbled and slowly the tears slipped out of her eyes. Thompson stood up and hugged her as they cried in each other's arms, Thompson broke the hug and cleaned her tears " don't cry my dear, I will always be there for you " He said and she smiled. " Now go and prepare for school, hurry!" he said and she raced to her room.

Thompson sighed and sat down hugging his knees as waves of regret hit him hard. He let his tears flow from his eyes as he remembered his past. Wishing he never made such decisions. "I'm sorry" he mumbled.

After minutes of thought, he came back to reality cleaning his tears hurriedly to avoid his niece seeing him like that.

Soon, Caterina came out all dressed and ready for school, she packed her hair in two's, wearing a pair of old sandals and a old worn out school bag, her uniform was squeezed but yet her beauty was till out. Her hour glass figure glaring out.

"Dear there is some money on the cupboard, take it and board a bus to school since you are already late" Thompson said and she nodded walking towards the cupboard and taking the Euro note. " Uncle €50, is too much" Caterina complained dropping the money in his hands but Thompson frowned his face. " Take it besides that the least I can do and if u don't take it I might end up gambling" Thompson said and she immediately collected it from him. " Fine but I'm returning the change if any" Caterina said and he nodded knowing complaining or arguing with her will end no where. " Come on get going or u might miss the bus" Thompson said and she smiled before leaving.

Two strange looking men where outside their house and swallowed her saliva thinking they were here for her she stylishly walked pass them ignoring their weird stares, she looked back once more before running but the men didn't bug or run after her, they simply walked inside the house breaking the door in the process.

" Don's guard" Thompson said fearfully and they smirked.

Caterina walked inside the school's compound with her head bowed, she knows better than looking up, the rich kids were flocking around the school, at the entrance of the building there stood different student looking at them alone spoke of wealth. From their richly attire to their name tags.

Caterina swallow down her saliva as she walked inside on getting to the down a girl brought her foot forward and Caterina tripped falling flat on her face and the students laughed. " U lost your manners or something" the girl spoke and raised her foot matching her on her back and Caterina winced in pain.

" Sorry, good morning golden blings" Caterina greeted addressing them by the name they were called.

" Yeah good" The girl said removing her foot, Caterina was already standing up but a guy pushed her back to the ground with his sneakers and Caterina fell down back injuring herself in the process and blood gushed out.

Soon student started coming in.

" Next time you walk pass us without greetings I will do worse than push you" he said and stood up, they kicked her one by one before leaving. Caterina winced in pain feeling the blood gushing out of her face and mouth.

"Rina" Rosanna said and rushed to help get up. I'm sorry.

"No it's fine, I'm fine" Caterina said and stood up.

" Let's go to the inflammatory, you need to get treated before you get an infection" Rosanna said and dragged her.

"Sorry dear" the nurse said blowing air on her injured cheeks. " Don't forget to take your meds so the wounds will heal properly" she said and Caterina nodded. " Good"

" Can I go to class now" Caterina said and she nodded.

" It's not so serious just an injured face and a bruise knee" she said.

" Thanks nurse Phil " Caterina said and the nurse smiled patting her head slowly.

" Stop calling them without respect you know they are the most richest kids here and their parents are very powerful people, you know their parents owns shares here most especially Ryan since his parents own this school, I don't want trouble besides I'm here on scholarship" Caterina finally ended her long speech.
