the unconscous shoplifter

Date: 11/11/2016

My dad, sis, and I entered this clothes store along the tip of Roxas avenue. It was a bit of a large building with a few floors above it but just 1 floor that held ifs products for viewing. Perusing the items, i noticed how they had good products but didn't buy anything because i really wasn't in the mood for shopping even though my dad was there. Window shopping doneee. We Were about to leave the store when the dusk sky darkened and rain poured. We didn't have any unbrellas with us so we just cose to prolong looking at the clothes. I saw this really god denim buttoned jacket that fesembled my dads. I picked it up, wore it, and saw how great it fit me because it was a slimfit. Oh hey. Thats Adrian, my classmate, lining up at the cashier. I approached the cashier, which was a very long standing table that split the room into the shop and the part where only the cashiers could enter. I poked Adrian while he was lining up and was very shocked to be in the exact same place with me at the same time in this big city. He told me how my other classmates were at the store too looking at random stuff. I left him and went to where he pointed and saw the boys at the opposite side of the store from where my dad and sis sat. I wasn't really close with these male classmates so we just did casual talking which lasted for a good minute until they told me that Shenrich and some of my really close friends were outside waiting for them. Yayyy. My barkadas are heeeere. I went outside and crossed the streets and saw Shenrich, Richard, and some other close friends i have not identified in this dream. We talked and talked In the other side of Roxas Avenue and after about a few minutes of chitchat decided to eat dinner somewhere. We started walking and while I was talking with shenrich Richards phone rang. It was Adrian. "Rain! Adrian told me that you shouldn't go back in the store." Holy motherfucker.!!! I am still wearing the jacket. I really shouldn't go back there. Shenrich talked some sense into me and told me that all troubles start from being dishonest and that i shoukd really go back. (Omg she's right. I must go back and try to explain) i went back at the store and I saw that Adrian was talking to some of the cashiers. He was being interviewed by the cashiers as to who the shoplifter was- me, his friend. I heard the lady cashiers type my name into her conputer as I approached them. Adrian left without noticing me as i remained there, alone with all the cashiers. They recognized my face and knew i was the shiplifter. I just stood beside the long divide that seoarated me from them while they did cashier stuff on the other side. I stood there in awkward silence until i finally asked the nice looking cashier in front of me (in real life she is shahani from my IELTS class). "Am i going to jail?" She said she doesn't know and that it was ul for their managers to reside. (Fuck fuck fuck) "i don't want to go to jail" i said in the louder but nice and cute way. The other cashiers looked when they heard me. I kept quiet again and began making up a defense how everything was an accident and i was innocent :(. I began talking to myself until my thoughts got louder until i was really talking and having a good debating conversation with myself out loud, which i just noticed. I looked at pretty shahani and she was smiling "i am sorry i was just talking to myself and defending me because i really don't want to start a scene with you guys about all this. She giggled, which made me like her more, and told me that their shift will end soon and that they will have a meeting with their manager upstairs. I stood there and just talked with her as I ate green mangoes i magically got from the street vendor outside. Then i suddenly realized that if i would get a record for being a shoplifter i won't be able to get to Germany because they won't send criminals there. I started talking out loud to the cashiers closer to me about how this accident will ruin my life and make me stranded in ph forever. I was teary eyed as i they saw me defending myself and kept blabbering about the jeopardy of my study plans in Germany. Shahani kept close to me and remained calm and tried to whittle down my slightly upset-ish ranting about my future. dingdingding. The bell rang which meant that the store will be closing and that all employees must go to the meeting room upstairs. A small ruckus started and people were getting their bags and started to go upstairs. Shahani and I went to the sink first and washed our hands which got sticky from the green mangoes. We continued talking about random stuff and started walking up the stairs. There were a lot of employees in the meeting room which very much resembled my IELTS classroom. There were a lot of people picking seats in this place that looked like a classroom. (Omg wheres shahani? I lost her in the sea of employees. Oh there she is a few rows from the front. Damn, i wanted to sit in the very front [because i wanna be that student who always sits in the front] ) Awwwwe Shahani was already talking to other people and forgot about me. I heard someone else calling my bame. Ah its one of the friendly cashiers who cashiered beside Shahani (this girl looks like Peaches in real life). I sat on the empty chair behind her a few rows from the front but on the leftmost part close to the stairs. There was a middle-aged woman at the front who i guessed was the manager. She, with an aura if authority and kindness, stood at a higher platform with a table in front of her and a white board behind her. The meeting has started and it was boring for me just technical stuff. It was boring to some of the employees too. My only seatmate, this guy with filipino skin but really chinito eyes, (fuck he's cute af) started talking to me. Well ofcourse, we talked about the shoplifting then went to how the cashiers were searching me on facebook while i was outside and also adding me in kakaotalk because they found me decent and cute :). I opened my phone and checked my kakaotalk if the cashiers really did add me (oh i do have a cute profilepic in kakao.). Hahaha the cute guy giggled as he saw that u didn't have internet and had no way check the app. (Fuck he's cute) we continued talking while the manager discussed basic job stuff until she got our attention when a quiz thing was about ti start. So this store was also a call center agency that had employee activities and teambuilding activities that refreshed their stressed selves. I did not receive a testpaper and so i just sat there and retreated to my thoughts. I started thinking again about my defense to this testpaper-distributing manager. I held a devate against the devils advocate in me about my innocence. I had a really good self discussion then i shifted to the test they were having. I thought i could bribe the manager my skills and i could work for this company for a few months just so she won't report me to the police and forever ruin my life. The devils advocate asked me how good i was with this stuff and the arrogant me told him that i probably am smarter than all of these agents and have a 98% grammar and composition skillz. She could test me and compare me with the rest of the agents to see how well i would fare. I got lost in my thoughts and woke up. Fin
