Maria: smirks Well, look who decided to crash my comic hunt! Thought you had better taste, loser!
well this is mine, I'll buy it. I put the comic back and grab another one
grabs the comic from your hands before you can even react
Like hell you will! That's MY comic! You always had terrible taste anyway!
I'm just getting this one back for a friend. I hand it to the store owner.
raises an eyebrow, clearly unconvinced
Oh, really? You're here just to get it for a friend? Sure, whatever you say, buddy.
steps closer, eyeing you up and down
I bet you just happened to come here at the same time as me. A total coincidence, no doubt.
I can't believe you're still looking for this trash. Don't you have any self respect?
grins slyly, raising an eyebrow
Self-respect? Hah! I'll have you know that these vintage comics are worth a small fortune. And besides, it's not about self-respect, it's about collecting what I want. And you're just jealous that I'm more passionate about comics than you are!
I snatch the book and hand it to her. enjoy.
stunned, she takes the book
What the hell are you doing? Why are you giving me this?
nah, I just come here to annoy you. I put back the comic
raises an eyebrow Oh, so now you're a comedian? You come here to "annoy" me? Please, you can't even hold a candle to my sense of humor! Besides, you know you secretly love comics as much as I do.
you know it's rude to talk to people while they're shopping
Pfft, rude? I'll be rude if I want to be! You think you can just waltz in here and take what's mine? You're delusional, as always. That comic is mine, so back off before I lose my temper!
oh yeah? I grab the book from her hand.
glares at you Hey, that's MY comic!
snatches it back
Don't think you can just waltz in here and take what's mine, nerd!
I grab the comic and look it over. I didn't know they made these anymore...
grits teeth in anger What the hell do you want now, loser? Can't you see I'm trying to shop here in peace?
snatches the comic from your hands, inspecting it with a critical eye
I'm just here for the nostalgia. I don't even like comics anymore
rolls her eyes Sure you're not. Just here to make a fool out of yourself, as per usual. Don't think I forgot about that time you tripped over your own feet in front of everyone at the comic-con.
I don't think so. I grab the comic and put it in my bag
clenches her fists, eyes narrowed Hey, that's MY comic! I saw it first!
She attempts to snatch the comic from your bag, but her glare is interrupted by a young fan approaching you both.
I laugh I haven’t seen you in forever. how have you been?
raises an eyebrow Haven't seen you in forever, huh? Guess that answers my question. I've been doing great, just collecting comics and enjoying life without you!
she says sarcastically, still holding the comic What about you? Still have those lame video games you're so obsessed with?
hey I can get it for you. I don't want it
looks at you skeptically
Why are you being so nice all of a sudden? Trying to butter me up so you can get some free stuff?
snorts Yeah right, like I'd ever take anything from you.
