Slice of Life

a few people sitting around in a restaurant. two girls sit, discussing the bill.
one pays with a card and the other fumbles with cash. 


Girl 1 - So, how much do I owe you?

girl 1 looks up at her companion, patiently waiting.
girl 2 pauses and crinkles up her face in thought.


Girl 2 - Um... four plus two equals five so divide that by two is two point five.

girl 2 nods confidently with her answer after shifting the numbers around in
her head and using her fingers to count it out.


Girl 1 - Oh, ok.

girl 1 glances down at her money, silently flipping through the bills
before looking up at girl 2 her expression changing to confusion. 


Girl 1 - Wait. What?

Girl 2 laughs, knowing she's probably got it wrong, but amused anyways.
