Jennifer entered the empty gas station, her "grand" entrance grabbing the attention of the man behind the counter. As she walked over to him, she avoided eye contact knowing a little too well he was staring her down. When she noticed he wasn't letting her out of his sight, even though she was almost at the counter, her anger got the best of her.

"Hey!" she yelled, slapping the counter between them with an open palm. "My eyes are up [i]here[/i] buddy!" She pointed them out with two fingers, the man quickly apologizing and avoiding eye contact from that point on. "I'm sorry, how can I help you?"

"That's more like it," she added. "Which direction is Eddinsburgh?" 

He pointed past her. "It's about a 40 minute ride from here." 

Jennifer cursed under her breath. "Alright, thank you." She didn't wait for a reply from the man, and instead, rushed out the door.

As soon as she got outside, Jennifer breathed a sigh of relief, although she couldn't help but feel like a complete idiot. Her phone wasn't working anymore, but she still carried one of her cards with her in her wallet. She noticed an ATM in the distance and decided that the walk of shame was worth her getting her hands on some cash in order to get home.
