watching, waiting
I heard her come in while I was drying my hair. Finally, I could give her the money that was entrusted to me. When he gave me the money, I immediately thought, I hope I'm not robbed. But if I'm robbed, would I have to pay him back? It wouldn't have been my fault, so why would I have to pay him back? But then, the pool would be 100 short, and it wouldn't be fair for him to pay twice. Well, he shouldn't have given it to me in the first place. At least banks have deposit schemes. But I'm not a bank. Banks charge interest. I should have charged him interest.
I shoved the bills inside my hoody and padded to the kitchen. She was changing the bin liner, oblivious to my presence behind her. I just leaned back and waited for her to turn around. As her head swivelled around, she screamed and then covered her mouth.
Stupid girl.
I knew that would happen.
Why didn't you say anything?
I wanted to see what would happen.
True or False, is that weird?

I hate it when people scream when they didn't notice you. oblivious idiots, either get used to it or pay attention.
and the sudden gush of emotion makes me awkward. so, i scared you, i'm not sorry and please stop looking at me like i can make it better.
it's flirting
It happens that one does not notice - I think people should just laugh at it rather than get upset about it.
I don't think she was mad. I just thought it was odd that she couldn't sense someone standing a foot behind her. Then again, I am pretty crafty...
I find it hard to startle people in such manners since I took a gap year from bathing.
