7.

This old hag didn’t even give us the time of the day. She just kept it pushing all the way up to the cash register. We watched as she buys the dictionary. What does an old lady need with a dictionary anyways. I can’t take no for an answer. I got to get this book up off her.

"Ma'am please I need that. I’ll pay double for it."

She was not budging. I kept pleading it to her. My essay is due in 3 hours and I haven’t even started the draft yet. This lady's messing with my freedom. Gotta turn up.
