I didn't realise you cared!

Saturday afternoon. Amazingly, Anya is bored. Not because she had been
sitting in the same position for three hours, or the fact that she had
NO customers, but the fact that none of her friends had come to talk to
her. They had promised on Friday. They had practically signed a talking
contract. And where were they? Apparently, skating at the skate park,
having the time of their miniscule, unimportant lives. She was selling
bags. Handbags. Cheap. Handsewn. Nice Fabric. On Saturday. And everyone
in a 3 mile radias from Anya seemed to be out. Except one...a tall boy
strode across the road, appearing nochalant - uninterested in bags.
Girl's bags. What would he care? It was her best friend's boyfriend.
All the rest of the gangs boyfriends had been shoved off almost pretty
quickly, they had chosen the exact opposite of dream dates, crumby
guys, no use guys. But he, Kev, had stayed on with her, Sas. Her name
was Kansas, named after the state her father and mother were brought up
in, but as soon as she could talk, Kansas went and Sas came in. 'I
would like to purchase a bag,' he said, grinning like a maniac. Anya
rolled her eyes. These were girl's bags!
'Kev, you are a boy - these are girl's handbags!' she hissed.
'It isn't for me...it's for Sas.'
A plan formulated in Anya's mind. Love-crazed boy, pay crazed price for
not overly beautiful crazy bag.
'How much?' he continued.
'Haggle for it!' she demanded.
"'Kay...tenner?' he asked, hopeful.
'What! Hand sewn stitched, suedette, sewn in poppers. Gotta be
joking...twenty quid.'
'15.'
'17 and that is my final word.'
'Fine, I'll take it.'
Seventeen 'smackeroos' were paid up, and Kev left with the bag. The
stall was quickly closed, and Anya sneaked after him. Gossip was her
life. Desperate to see, she followed to the skate board, where he paid
for a skate board, and skated over to the very happy Sas.
'Got a girl's bag, Kev 'as!' said Anya, skating past Kev.
'For you!' said Kev proudly. And he thrust the bag towards Sas.
'Coooool.....thanks, Kev!' and she hugged him, winding him, but hugging
him in a very pleased in grinning way. Awww.
