Kleptomaniac

"Oohh! Chocolates," my friend Anais said as she pointed to a shelf. Multiple kinds of choclates were placed, I like chocolate but I'm not a big fan.. So why do I really want to take it?

No like seriously, I just want to take it but I don't really feel like it's worth paying for. Ugh, why am I like this? This is such a bad habit. But I made up my mind,

"I'll take one," I say but instead I take two, deliberately turning away from the security cameras of this 7/11. Quickly dropping the first bar into my sling bag.

"Really? That's new, you didn't really like sweets." Anais mentions. Yeahhh.. I just really want to take it.

"Erm.. You know what, you're right. You take it." I handed her the one bar left and walked away from the crime scene. My stomach clenched from thinking of what I've done. Oohh, I hope the cameras didn't catch me. I think I've a good job of staging it so I shouldn't have to worry.

I waited for Anais to finish finding what she wanted to buy for the party tonight. She paid for everything and we walked out of there scott free with no one noticing what I've done, even her.

"Whoo!"

"What's gotten into you?" she asks with asks with a funny look on her face.

"Nothin', I'm just.. exited!" I grinned.

"Excited? You were cursing me earlier for forcing you to go to that party."

"I wasn't talking about that damn party."

After the 5 minute walk, we were back to my house. I immediately plopped down in the sofa. Finally, I kind just laze around for the rest of the day.. If it weren't for that party. Anais didn't join me yet and was looking around. I just decided to occupy myself with netflix.

"You bought a bracelet too? It looks just like the one I lost! We could've been matching if I didn't lose it.. " she sulks.

To be honest, I don't really know if she's really stupid or I'm just really good at acting. Ahh good times, it was really hard not to laugh as I was playing her. Like really, it was hilarious. I couldn't help but let out a little chuckle.

"C'mon, it's fine! Your dad will probably buy you another one anyway, so get in here!" I patted the space beside me and she happily obliged.

Ohh.. That was good. I woke up with yawn and stretched. Wait, how did I even fall asleep?

"You dummy, you're finally awake! We have to dress up for the party. How could you forget?" Anais nags. Oh, she's still here...

Man, I am a terrible friend. Well, at least I'm self aware, right?

"Oh right.. That party you so want to attend. Whoo!"

"Ugh, you ass. Stop being so deadpan and be a little more fun would you?" She rolls her eyes. Yeah, but our ideas of fun are extremely different and by that I mean, I really.. really love being the worst.

"Alright, Alright! You gather some outfit ideas while I eat, I'm starving." she grumbled but didn't protest any further. I continued to my kitchen and grabbed some leftovers in the fridge and microwaved it.

Ugh, it's nasty. The blending of the two extremely different temperatures makes me want to starve myself. As I was forcing food down throat to not die of starvation I looked around my kitchen. It's really nice and sleek, very modern and expensive looking. The same goes for the rest of the house... So tell me, why do steal so much?

Don't get me wrong, I don't care who I'm stealing from I just want to steal. I guess I kinda like the adrenaline rush and the fear of getting caught. At least it makes my "perfect" life seem more exciting for about 5 minutes.

Like seriously, my life is as exciting as watching paint dry and I'm not even exaggerating. I just steal for the sake of stealing, huh?

"Hey! Come upstairs!" Anais shouts. I put my plate in the sink and went upstairs.

"What's up?" Anais didn't answer me for a second just continued making a mess out of closet.

"Anyway, what about this dress?" She turns showing me the over the top dress, wayyy to extravagant for a place that's probably a dump.

"For me or for you? Because it would really look good on you." she jumped in happiness at the compliment.

"Aww, thank you! Guess it's decided then," I was sarcastic! If she actually ends up going to the party like that I. Am. Ditching. Her.

"Yayy.. I'll go pick my own clothes now." I go to the pile of clothes that are now on the floor. What should I wear? Ah fuck it, I'll wear something dark so I won't be too noticable if I...

I put on a black sweatshirt, jeans that everyone has, and casual shoes. There... I look a burglar... Ugh, there's probably nothing there worth stealing anyway.

"What are you wearing?! You're so not going to be life the party looking so boring like that." Anais screeched.

"I. Don't. Care. You be the life of the party or something. Just don't do something stupid." I said but man, she really went through with wearing that dress. I am so ditching her.

"Hey girls," this random guy welcomes us into his house and immediately we were greeted by blinding light, roaring music, and people being stoned as fuck.

"Whoa, this is so cool!" Anais cheers wearing that stupid dress. Ugh, it's embarassing to be around her right now. Why am I friends with her again?

"Yep, it's great! Hey, how about I leave you to find your soulmate here while go I chat with my other friends?" translation: I want to get away from you.

"That's awesome, all right I'll go get a man!" She immediately scurried away and I went towards this group of friends that I've known for a long time.

"'Sup," I butted in. They all turned to me and looked quite shocked.

"Hey, you're back!" Ronald said as he put an arm around my shoulder. He's unusually tall and pretty lanky but he's a pretty guy with nice red hair.

"Yeah, why'd you ditch miss princess? Did you miss us so much?" Another guy said. It's Nicolas, really popular with the ladies for some reason but I don't understand his appeal, he's not bad though.

"Ugh, shut up. It was embarassing to be around her when she looked like that." I said pushing him away.

"Don't be so harsh, she looks good! Kinda looks like a dunce tho but still pretty." Emily mentions.

"Aww, I missed you!" I shriek as I went to hug Emily, burying my face in her pretty blonde hair.

"My partner in crime!" We hugged each other back before the boys butted in.

"Partners in crime? You mean group in crime!" Ronald said before both of the boys were hugging with us too.

"Anyway, I didn't expect you guys to be here. This place is a dump."

"Yeah but hey, free booze. We might even take some home!" Nicolas explained with a cheeky smile.

"You guys do what you want. I'm not drinking though."

"C'mon, you can't get them any where else. We're barely legal." Ronald said.

"Nah, you guys drink here if you want but I'll be scouting the place."

"Of course, you'll be scouting the place." Nicolas said with a confident smirk.

"Oh, shut up." I went away from the trio and actually looked around. I found my way to the sterio where the load ass music is coming from.

I take a look at its wires and found which one was connected to the laptop near it. Hmm.. I really want to get it but wouldn't I get noticed? Erm.. Ahh fuck it, who ever's music this is it really sucks. I swiftly pulled the wire and put in my pockets. When the abruptly stopped I stepped to the side and acted shocked.

"What happened?" someone asks. I quietly walked away and thankfully no one seemed to notice. I explored around some more but I kinda feel like someone's following behind me.. Nah, there's probably no one there. I reached a part where there were little to no people.

If I continue down this path I'd probably be somewhere secluded. Ahh it's really scary but there will probably be a nice veranda.. Right?
