I walked to the back of the A and P to my car and surprisingly out of the corner of my eyes I saw the girls walking to their car as well. Coincidentally, their car was parked right next to mine and I knew this was the only chance I would ever get to talk to them. As I approached my car the girl who lead the pack whispered something to her tall friend. Not thinking much of it I said, “I’m sorry about what happened. My boss is kind of tough.”
The girls looked at each other. The chubby girl replied, “Did you really quit?” She looked at each of her friends, “because of what that guy said to us?”
All three girls stared at me waiting for an answer. I tried to play it cool and simply replied, “I was just fed up with that guy. That was the last straw. He shouldn’t have said that to you guys.”
The tall girl agreed. “Yeah, he was so rude,” she said.
The girls came closer to me and we started talking. I began to think quitting my job was well worth it.
“That was really brave of you to do,” the head girl said. That is the exact reaction I wanted from the girls. However, I knew I shouldn’t have done what I did.
“Thanks.”
“I think we are going to head back to the beach for a little. You should come,” the tall girl said. The other two girls looked at me and nodded their heads.
“Sure!” I said with a smile. I realized that I was going to eventually regret quitting my job, but for right now it was all worth it.
