A is for Ants

Cat sat on a patch of grass beside the asphalt cafe. She decided that it was too hot to sit on the benches, because they burned the back of her legs, and wanted to turn her lunch into a picnic instead. She spread her jacket on the grass and placed her paper bag on it.

The breeze was cool on the hot spring day, and it cooled Cat down in a way she had enjoyed.

"Hey, Cat." There was shade, blocking out the sun light. She looked up to see Robbie and Tori standing there.

"Hi guys." She smiled. "Want to join me for lunch?" She asked.

"Sure, Kitty Cat." Robbie sat down beside her, as did Tori.

"Look, there's a line of ants." Cat giggled and pointed.

"Oh yeah." Tori said, glancing down at the ants from her salad. She took a bite of the lettuce, then spit it back out. "This has catalina dressing." Tori put the lid back on her salad and stood up. "I'm going to go get another salad with ranch." She said.

"So, Cat, it's such a beautiful day out." Robbie said, looking up at the sky.

"Robbie-"

"Well, except for the heat. I've never been a huge fan of heat." He continued.

"Robbie-"

"But the sky is so clear and blue. Hey, what's tickling my hand?" He asked in confusion.

"Robbie, the ants." Cat said.

"Ah! Ants!" Robbie jumped up and shook his hand off. Cat covered her mouth, trying to hide her giggling. Robbie jumped around and stood on the hot pavement. "I-I'm allergic to ants." Robbie lied, trying to fix his clothes.

"It's ok Robbie, I don't like bugs either. Except lady bugs!" Cat said excitedly. Then she looked down at her sandwich in confusion. "What are boy lady bugs called?" She asked, looking up as Robbie sat back down beside her. Robbie thought for a second.

"Confused." He smiled.
