WHO: Santana Lopez and OPEN WHERE: Walmart WHEN: Post Christmas shopping WHAT: Santana snagged some deals and is walking home RATING: PG? STATUS: in progress; incomplete
Santana and Quinn's Christmas had been wonderful. It was almost too good to be true. But Santana had ulterior motives for Monday and her alarm rang earlier than it did even for school. She had girded herself with coffee and gumption and had arrived at Walmart before the store had opened. The day after Christmas was one that was nearly as bad as Black Friday. Tons of returns but even better deals.
After the doors opened, Santana slid quickly in, gathering everything she needed in one go-round with the cart and ended up saving a pretty penny in the process. Now she just had to lug everything back to the apartment. She should have hailed a cab or found someone to pick her up. Instead, she walked on the sidewalk burdened with multiple plastic bags packed to the tops of stuff for the house. She smiled as people drove by and gawked at her or those that passed on the streets. Idiots she thought to herself. Plan ahead and never pay full price she thought.
