As I felt a sharp poke in my hands, I woke up. Opening my eyes, I noticed the lady guard looking sternly with her arms crossed. While I glanced at the table, I saw a half-eaten food in the tray. Realizing my situation, I immediately fixed my hair, wiped my mouth, and apologized to her.
"It's fine, but please don't do that again!" The guard left.
Ignoring the uncomfortable stares and gossip, I fixed the tray on my table and left.
"I must have dozed off..." I commented, looking around for Thalia.
"She must have left me when I was still asleep!" Glancing at my watch, I saw it was two-thirty. Feeling groggy, I got up and started walking. I had to look for Thalia and ask her some questions.
Thinking she may still be in the mall, I left the cafeteria. The bustling noise of the mall surrounded me, with shoppers busy seeking the latest deals and products. Customers moved from store to store, searching for items and services.
