1142

Date: 1/14/2018

i went to a bookstore to get textbooks and it looked sort of like the book section of target. i was looking around for books and decided to spend my money on novels instead of textbooks. suddenly, david dobrik and alex ernst emerge from behind the bookshelf. they have those crinkly birthday balloons filled with air but not helium. Alex's nametag says "IF" and david's says "LB". they say something, i dont know what. i go to check out with my novels, unable to find any textbooks. I estimate the cost to be around $60. ive been trying to save money lately but justify spending the money somehow. At the checkout, the cashier rings up my books. the total is $1,142. im shocked, but decide to pay it anyways and just return the books later and get my money back. i hand the cashier two $500 bills from my wallet, and then a $100 bill. i realize i don't have enough money to pay the remaining $42. i turn to my dad, who is suddenly by my side, and ask him to cover the remaining difference. he says, "yes, give me a minute" and goes to the line next to mine, which is for taco Bell. we wait for several minutes in silence. the cashier is unbothered by this delay. i ask my dad if he is still going to pay. he turns around to look at me and nods, saying nothing. i am getting impatient. i turn back to my wallet, and find two $20 bills and a $5 bill. i realize i can pay the remaining $42, and i hand the money to the cashier. i wake up.
