It hadn't been her idea, it had been Macy's! Rashta walked away from a frightened looking man, a small smile playing at her lips. She remembered the conversation they'd had a few days earlier on what to do for her youngest brothers birthday...
"Macy, nobody would ever go that low for a loaf of bread," shed reasoned. The other girl had scoffed at her, clearly thinking Rashta was insane. "Not for me, or anybody else, but for you!" she'd poked Rashta on the shoulder, a determined look in her eye, "I don't know if you realize this Rashta, but when people don't know you well enough you seem kinda scary," Macy'd said, nodding enthusiastically to 'help' get her point across. Rashta had been speechless, she'd known other kids were sometimes... intimidated by her, but adults? Scared? Macy had finished her speech up, "If you could learn to be a little demanding on the inside, I'm sure a bunch of people would be too afraid to raise any price on you!"
Four days later a nervous Rashta, convinced she'd gotten her, 'demanding,' routine down had walked up to an older vendor and talked her way into getting the cheapest bread of her life. Macy had somehow been right, and now Rashta's whole family would benefit. Confidence radiated from her, and now that she was smiling again--Rashta knew she didn't look as scary as she;d been trying to be for awhile now. So deep in thought, the girl didn't even notice as she slammed into some poor soul, knocking them both over.
