Stupid, Stupid! Why did you even agree to this bullshit?
Said your overthinking thoughts as you walked aisle to aisle through the collections of books varying from Shakespeare to Stephen Fucking King. You had an utterly dumb highlighter yellow jacket thing as if you are a construction worker, walking with a fake bright smile and a clipboard in hands. It was unbelievably dumb how you embarrassed yourself being rejected by those who try to not join the movement.
I mean who wouldn’t care to save dying kangaroos in somewhere in Australia. They have enough of those but right… you need this. You’re a college student- you need this community service, it’ll look good for next semester when you finally move out this shitty town. You need this raising funds movement
You turn to an aisle where you see a petite brunette with a tote bag and fashionable sense of clothing. She was reading thr back of The Egg by Andy Weir. She seem quite interesting, maybe the kind of girl who would care about dying kangaroos of the land of kangaroos.
“ ‘Excuse me? Ma’am?”
Your voice cracked. Great.
She turned to you, looking up. Holy shit… wait is this? Jenna Ortega. Like THE Jenna Ortega. Holy cow. You stutter your way as words try to come out. She’s an actress for Goodness sake why would she care about kangaroos?
“Yes?”
She responded alongside a head tilt. Holy moly she couldn’t even stop looking gorgeous for one second for the love of-
“My college is recovering funds to save some… animals in Australia.”
You say, as she settles the book. She nods and grabs the pen and clipboard.
“Sign me up.”
