Day 4: Kinds of People

Its day 4 of the 31 days challenge.
As I was going through my twitter I found a daily prompt by Writers Write. They have prompts posted for each day separately as well apart from the one I was following. So for today I thought why not use this one.

Of course since I am writing short fiction I may not be able to actually explain the kinds of people, but I thought I could write something funny.



Icecream Vs Salad

"Hey! no one eats ice cream for breakfast. Its not healthy." Sally frowned at her sister, Iccy. 
"It is healthy." Iccy countered as she licked the yummy butterscotch ice cream of her spoon. 

"Haa.. Yogurt is healthy, not this. Anyway, we are already late for the class, go change and come." Sally said as she sipped her lemon water. 
"What class?" Iccy asked scratching her spoon at the bottom of the tube to scoop out the remaining bits. 

Sally sighed and said. "Yoga and Zumba class, Iccy! You promised you would join form today."
Iccy looked stricken as she racked her brain to get out of this situation. "No excuses this time. Go change into your yoga pants. If you spend money buying those you have to use as well." Sally warned her.

One look at her sister's face told Iccy that she hasn't got a chance of escaping. Sh dragged herself out of the chair and walked into her room. 
"Iccy! Will you come out or should I break the door?"  Sally's voice boomed on the other side. Iccy jumped from the bed and ran to open the door. She knew her sister wouldn't hesitate to break the door. 

Sally marched ahead while Iccy crept behind her. Turning into a snail was an appealing thought. They drove in silence until they reached the place. It was a lovely looking building with beautiful graffiti of various dance forms on the wall. After introducing Iccy to the dancer, she went to join her group of dancers. She was an expert dancer.

Iccy copied the movements of the dancer automatyically but her mind was focused on how to avoid the 'healthy foods' Sally would next shove into her mouth. 

"Iccy! You have great moves. Must be in your blood. You just have to keep dancing." the dancer smiled and said to her. Iccy blushed and danced. She always loved to dance, like her sister. She wasn't as fat as Sally thought she was either. 

After two hours of dancing they left the studio when Sally wanted to stop for breakfast when Iccy refused. She waned to get back home. Her sister can eat her salads all day but she needed proper food. She was exhausted after all the dancing and felt that a good scoop of ice cream would soothe her soul. At home Sally continued to lecture about the goodness of greens while Iccy devoured her vanilla ice cream.
