SEVEN ELEVEN

Luna- Ugh, fine, I'll stop already. It's so annoying, she's so arrogant, acting like she's someone important. If you hadn't pulled me off the bus earlier, I would’ve made that girl eat dirt. So annoying!

Cindy- You know, Luna, sometimes you need to learn to have more patience. Things would've turned into a mess if I hadn't done that earlier.

Luna- Ugh, whatever. I can handle her.

Cindy- That's not the point. I know you can handle her, but... but the thing is, the girl wasn’t alone.

Luna- Huh?

Cindy- You weren’t thinking. Do you believe she was just arrogant and ignorant?

Luna- Huh, no wonder she was so confident.

Cindy- The guy she was with earlier? I think they’re a couple, but...

Luna- But what? Hm?

Cindy- But they’re using each other.

Luna- Seriously? But how are they using each other?

Cindy- Because they’re both selfish.

Luna- Wow, I suddenly got chills.

Cindy- That’s why next time, just let them be. You’re always so hot-headed.

Luna- But they’re the ones who always start everything.

Cindy- Wow, you're getting braver, huh.

Luna- Oops.

Cindy- Uh, Luna, aren’t you forgetting something?

Luna- Huh? Wait, why? My phone is right here, wallet—check, nothing’s missing. Everything’s fine—wait, notebook... notebook..." (suddenly looks at Cindy and yells) urghh! Cindy... the movie we were going to watch....

Cindy- It’s fine! There’s always a next time. I’ll make it up to you, I promise.

Luna- Promise?

Cindy- Yes, and I’ll even treat you!

Luna- Promise? Treat me? Do you really think I’d believe that? You can’t even treat yourself to something, and now you’re inviting me. Plus, I don’t want to believe your promise—it might not come true.

Cindy- Well, since you know I’m struggling with expenses, I guess...

Luna- Wait, wait. Speaking of making it up to me, you have to treat me today—even just at 7/11.

Cindy- Huh? 7/11? Wow, you’re something else. It takes me two weeks just to buy food there. Let’s just get street food.

Luna- Street food?

Cindy- Yes, it’s delicious, and it’s cheaper.

Luna- Okay, deal! But you’re paying for everything, right?

Cindy- Of course! You’re so persistent. Do you want me to take back the offer since it seems like you don’t even want it?

Luna- What are you saying? I never said I didn’t want it. I’m just thinking—won’t it be smoky there with all the food stalls?

Cindy- It’ll be fine, don’t worry

Luna- Alright then, I’ll just be the one to buy.

Cindy- It’s fine, as long as the smoke isn’t that thick. Shall we go?

Luna- Okay, fine. Let’s go to the one near 7/11 so we have a place to hang out too.

Cindy- You’re so picky! Come on, let’s just walk there.

Luna- Do I have any choice? You’re the boss here.

Cindy- (laughs)

Luna- excuse me, how much is it?

Man- The prices for Juices are 10, 15, and 20 pesos. For Milk Shakes, it’s 40, 60, and 80 pesos.

Luna- Cindy, what size do you want? Hurry up, I’m really thirsty

Cindy- So annoying. I’m going to run out of money because of you.

Luna- Run out of money? We’ve only just started buying stuff.

Cindy- Excuse me, I’m the one buying, not 'we'.

Luna-  (looks at the vendor)  don’t mind my friend, she’s just grumpy because she’s lacking sleep

Man- (chuckles) How about siomai? Would you like some?

Cindy- Do you have chicken-flavored siomai?

Man- Yes, we do.

Luna- How about Japanese siomai? Or should I just get beef?

Cindy- Wait, that’s expensive. Let’s get something else

Luna- Shh,  do you have it?

Man- We only have Japanese siomai left. The chicken and pork are sold out, and the beef too, because a guy earlier bought it all for a kid.

Cindy- Earlier?

Man- Yes , he seemed kind, buying all the beef just for that kid.

Luna- Well, if he were really kind, he wouldn’t have bought all your stock.

Cindy- There you go again, Luna. Watch your words, everyone can hear you.

(Sounds of people talking, vehicles passing, children crying and playing, and the sizzling of street food can be heard.)

Luna- Wow, it’s actually pretty relaxing here.

Cindy- Let’s go sit down, I want to rest (coughs).

Luna- Are you okay?

Cindy- Yeah, I’m fine.

Luna- Do you want to go home?

Cindy- No, I’m really fine. My throat just got a bit itchy.

Luna- Just let me know if you’re not okay, alright?

Cindy- I will.

Man- Are you sick?

Cindy- Oh, no, I’m not. My friend is just being overly dramatic.

Luna- (laughs)  we’re leaving.

Man- Alright, but earlier, that guy bought all my stock and gave it to the kids.

Luna- Wow, so he really was kind.

Cindy- I wonder who he was. Anyway, let’s go sit down.

Luna- That guy, isn’t he the type you like?

Cindy- HAHA, you’re really nosy.

Luna- Isn’t it true? That’s why you had a crush on Drix, right?

Cindy- Luna? Can you please just be quiet?

Luna-  (laughs) Why? It’s true, right? Drix is your ideal guy.

Cindy-  (blushes) "That’s not true

Luna-  (laughs) Not true, but you blushed when I mentioned him. I thought you said you’ve moved on from him

Cindy- It’s true, I’ve 'un-crushed' him from my heart.

Luna- Okay, if you say so.

Cindy- I’m thirsty.

Luna- What’s that? A change of topic?

Cindy- You’re really crazy.

Luna- Alright, I’ll buy you something

Cindy- Where’s the money?

Luna- It’s with you, of course. You’re the one who’s thirsty; I’ll buy it for you.

Cindy- Ugh, so grumpy.

(Inside 7/11)

Luna-  (singing)

(Customers are chatting)

( while Luna is getting water, she accidentally knocks over some items.)

Luna- Ugh, what a mess

As Luna picks up the fallen snacks, a guy approaches her.

???- Are these yours?

She looked at the guy who approached her.

Luna-  (thinking)  What the...Drix?
