It all started with a skirt. Berta’s life is forever changed, all
because a skirt. Who knew a skirt could change your life. Who knew a skirt
would find you the love of your life but also at the same time make you spend
time in jail…
One hot July day, Berta was out walking in the park. She ran
into this nice guy who caught her eye immediately. The guy approached Berta
and he introduced himself as Harry. Harry asked Berta to join him for coffee tomorrow
morning at 9am. Berta was in love at first sight, so she graciously accepted.
She was filled with excitement, so she called her best friend Louise so they
could go shopping to buy Berta a new skirt. Louise met Berta at the mall and
they started their shopping day.
Berta and Louise went into their favorite store. Berta saw a new skirt;
the skirt is neon pink. She wants this skirt! She thinks this skirt will impress Harry
and has to have it. Berta noticed a different customer with the skirt in her
hand. Bummer! She tells Louise that she needs that skirt. Louise and Berta head to the dressing room to come
up with a plan on how to get it the skirt. The plan went as followed: Louise
was going to cause a diversion in the store and scream that the customer is
trying to steal a pair of sunglasses. Berta is to put the sunglasses in the
customer’s purse to make it look like she is stealing them, getting
her kicked out. Berta put the plan into motion. After the security guard kicked out the
customer; Berta takes the skirt. With money in her pocket she felt a hole
burning. She walks to the cashier but the cashier closes the register just
as Berta hopes to pay. What now? She decides against the skirt and leaves the
boutique.
Upon returning home, Berta tries not to think about the skirt anymore.
Restlessness, Berta calls Louise at 10pm begging for her help. Louise comes up
with another plan. They are to go to the store the next day, around 1am to
break into the boutique to steal the skirt. Berta loves this idea, because she
needs this skirt to impress Harry for her date. She could not wait until the store opens at
10am because her coffee date is at 9am. Louise and Berta go to the boutique. The shop is
open, someone forgot to lock it! She goes and grabs the skirt, and leaves the
money and a note for the boutique about what had happened. Technically Berta
bought the skirt. This feels good. Elation! Berta and Louise left the store and
heard sirens from a distance and ran so the police would not catch them. She
takes it home and tries it on. Berta soon realizes she has nothing to match a
hot pink neon skirt. What was she thinking, it fits none of her other clothes.
At this point Berta is depressed. She still has nothing to wear for her date
with Harry.
Little did Berta
know, while she was leaving the money, she dropped her ID on the ground of the store.
The cops showed up at Berta’s house and arrested her for robbery and breaking
and entering. Berta never made it to her date. She did meet the love of her
life while in jail; it was the police officer that arrested her. So all in all
the skirt ruined and enhanced her life. Berta realized that it is not ok to
steal, and that breaking into the boutique is wrong, but her life started with
a skirt.
