Sight Seeing

[aric summers]

It was bright today but chilly. Aric wandered the town square wearing a pair of jeans with a long sleeved Aeropostal shirt. His eyes searched over the building signs to see if anything caught his eye. He saw a sign that kind of popped out at him that read 'The Greatest Lemonade on Earth'. How could he resist that? It may have been a chilly day, but who could turn down the greatest lemonade on Earth? Aric walked over the the entrance of the building and looked inside for a second before walking through the door.

As he walked in, the smell of lemons and sugar filled his nostrils and an elderly woman smiled widely at him and called out "Hello there young man. What can I get you?" He looked at her and smiled back slightly then answered "I'd just like a glass of lemonade please." He answered back. She nodded and began to make his drink. As he waited, he sat down near the front of the store and watched out the window.

Despite the sunny day, a storm was brewing inside the little sixteen year old girl as she made her rampage through town. Guitar in hand, someone had just kicked her out of a store for playing for money. It wasn’t her fault that she was playing the guitar and people happened to come by to give her money. They just enjoyed her playing and she was just playing without a demand for a profit. She never harassed anyone. She didn’t even bug anyone like she usually did. Noelle was just minding her own business and out comes the store owner, red-faced and hot-headed as he screamed at her to get out. Of course, Elle fought back, listing clear reasons from the bill of rights as of why she was allowed to stay in there, but he insisted that she was playing for money. Thus, Noelle was thrown out and here she was storming through town square in hopes of running into the mayor. Unfortunately, she came to no such luck.

With a frustrated roar, she sat down, arms crossed, guitar in her lap. Suddenly, her eyes spotted the lemonade sign. Noelle couldn’t help but realize how thirsty she really was. It must’ve been all the screaming. She quickly hopped up and padded into the building, slightly dragging her already scratched up guitar along the tile floor. Licking her lips, she ordered a glass from the lady at the counter with a slight scowl. Elle was in a bad mood and now that she had to wait a bit to get her drink, she was irritated all the more. She immediately sat down at some random table, not noticing the stranger she sat with.

Noelle had a way of doing that. Just rudely sitting down, whether or not she interrupted something or sat among random people. She didn’t care. She was tired and thirsty and angry and all she wanted to do that day was play her guitar.
