Chapter 1: Retinol
One of the most useful yet useless invention is an alarm clock. When you don't want to wake up, it starts yelling like it's witnessing a murder. When you do need it to wake you up, it never works.
Natasha Sanders/FL/Liliana Heart
Stupid Nat! Stupid Nat!!Stupid Nat!!! *Walking as fast as possible*
Natasha Sanders/FL/Liliana Heart
(set six alarm clocks, I said; one isn't enough, I said. No, I had to set only two. If I get into trouble today, I'm going to kill myself.)
Natasha Sanders/FL/Liliana Heart
I wasn't even able to eat breakfast. *Still running to work.*
Natasha finally slowed down when she saw her destination, the "Grabby Goodies" Supermarket.
She has been working here for two years now ever since...
As she got in, she heard an argument and saw two women fighting. One elderly and one teenager. Who Natasha recognized as Aunt Maya and Avery
Aunt maya
Oh, for goodness’s sake, there you go again; I'm just coming from there!
Avery stone
Then go there again, maybe you missed her.
Aunt maya
Missed her!!, I am...*Interrupted*
Avery stone
Shush, *Shakes her head* you know, I read somewhere that once someone is over 30, they start having eye problems. How old are you again? 75? 76? 80?
Aunt maya
You cheeky little... I am just 65!!
Avery stone
Well, *glances from head to feet.* Have you ever tried retinol? It works wonders. *Said with a polite smile.*
Aunt maya
*Closes her eyes to breathe and reminds herself she's the adult in the conversation.*
Aunt Maya had her back to Natasha, so only Avery could see her. As Aunt Maya Closed her eyes to remind herself to stay calm, Avery signaled to Natasha to hide.
Logan, a colleague who was behind the counter waved Natasha over to come and hide behind the counter.
Just in time to, Aunt Maya had finished her calming exercises and turned around to face Logan.
Aunt maya
Logan, dear, please tell me, Where is Natasha? She promised me no more late coming this week, and yet it's already nine and I still can't see her!
Logan
What are you taking about? Natasha came in a long time ago, last time I saw her she went to the toilet.
Aunt maya
But Avery just told me she was in aisle seven.
Avery stone
Yeah, after she came back from the toilet!
Aunt Maya went down the aisle to check again. Natasha popped her head out and breathed a sigh of relief.
Avery stone
Girl! where the hell were you?!! You're late again!!
Logan
Lower your voice would you!!
Aunt Maya comes back as she forgot to take her notebook.
Aunt maya
Sorry I forgot my note...
