Gilbert dug deep into his pockets to get out enough change to buy an icecream. He was trying chocolate mint. He had never really had it before because his parents were stingy. After the first mouthful, he decided it was amazing, the best thing he'd ever tasted. He figured the beach was too far off, since he could smell salt. He felt a tonne of eyes perched on him, though he didnt even bother making them feel awkward like he usually did. He just continued on his way to the beach.
