Karen: Excuse me, but I believe I deserve that seat more than you do.
Because I was on the waiting list longer than everyone else. And I really need to get to my destination quickly.
Then you can get off the bus at the next stop
What?! Are you serious? You expect me to get off at the next stop? That will take forever!
The faster you get off the sooner everyone else gets a seat
crosses arms and huffs Fine, if that's how it's going to be. I'll get off at the next stop. But don't think this is over.
grabs her purse and stands up, making a dramatic exit Fine, if I have to walk, I will.
stumbles as she steps off the bus, nearly tripping over her own feet Ugh!
frustrated, struggles to regain her balance and starts walking along the sidewalk Ugh, this is ridiculous!
pulls out her phone and dials a number Hello?
holds the phone to her ear It's Bob, my brother.
Oh great what does he want?
speaking into the phone Bob, it's me.
pauses, listens to Bob's response What?! He wants money? Again?
Karen reluctantly sends Bob a large sum of money, feeling frustrated and manipulated
That must have cost her a lot
sighs heavily, checks her bank account Damn it, Bob. He always knows how to drain my account.
Well at least he won't be calling you anymore
takes a deep breath, determined That's it. No more giving in to Bob's demands.
determined, pulls out a small notebook and starts writing a letter I'm going to confront him and put an end to this once and for all.
packs her bag, preparing for the confrontation I'm going to make sure he understands that I'm done being taken advantage of.
Hopefully he will actually listen this time
boards a taxi, determined I'm heading straight to Bob's house. This ends today.
Let's hope he finally listens
steps out of the taxi and walks up to Bob's front door, taking a deep breath before knocking Here goes nothing.
