How she survived being broke

She went out with her friends and him. As most of the time, she wouldn't go out without him. It was a lousy week for her but the opposite for him. She only saw him during lunch breaks and shuttle bus rides. Nevertheless, those little ticks of time where she can see his face were enough for her.

They went out to a wooden-bench type of bar where people get served with ice on plastic bowls with spoon to serve them. That type. It was enough though, since it was just a normal Friday night.

She had too much to drink. She left her wallet on the table together with her phone. When she came back, the bill was there with 100 peso bill on top of it. She decided to give 500 bucks. She did not notice that her wallet had a 500 peso bill missing which would mean that she already paid, but she did not know. So she still gave 500 bucks. 

He was holding her wallet. Her memory of it was a bit blurry that she only remembered telling him that she only had 20 bucks left in there, and that she did not know how it happened. She wasn't angry, which she would normally be after realizing that her so called friends tricked her into paying that much without her consent.

She went home, got her keys, opened the locks by herself, with him watching her by the open gate. She went inside and slept on the couch.

She woke up at 6 am thinking she wanted to play Frisbee that early, but decided not to since she had no money left. She went to sleep in her room, on her huge and comfy bed.

Until he texted her asking if she had eaten. She replied with a no. He asked her to come eat with him at a nearby store. She didn't want to because that would mean that he will be paying for what she ate. But he insisted, and so she went out and ate.

That was brunch. For dinner, she cooked spaghetti for some of her friends. For breakfast, she slept, for lunch she ate corned beef out of the can, and for dinner she had take out using her credit card.

And that's how she survived having no cash for the weekend. Thank goodness for the credit card. And she decided to cut back on those night outs. And cut back on the trust she gave her so called friends. Because they thought that it was funny but she thought otherwise.
