It was finally Girl Scout Cookie season, and in 

Washington, the hopes were high. Everyone always 

rushed to get them. However, when it comes to an 

end, it is very hard to find buyers, as everyone is 

already stocked up for the rest of the year. Alex 

Orozco’s troop was behind the goal and tonight is 

the last night to sell.

Alex has been a troop leader for five years. She is 

very patient and wants the best for all of the girls in 

her troop. Tonight, she is helping Maddy, a Girl 

Scout, sell the final ten boxes of cookies needed to 

send the troop to California Adventure.

Maddy is 13 years old and gets frustrated 

easily. She has brown hair and many, many 

freckles on her chubby face. Since it is getting 

so late out, she is tired and wants to sleep. But 

she still needed to make her goal to impress 

her troop.

The day was starting to come to an end, so this 

was just getting up the hill of anger that Maddy 

had in store for the night.

“I’m so tired” whined Maddy.

“But Maddy!”, exclaimed Alex,”we only need to 

sell ten more until we reach our goal! You don’t 

want to disappoint anyone, do you?”

“Well… no. But I can’t take this anymore! Can’t 

you just buy the boxes yourself?”

“Maddy! You know I can’t do that… I’ve already 

bought fifteen myself, I don’t just have an extra 

forty dollars lying around.”

Maddy sighed, knowing that Alex was right. 

They kept walking until they reached the next 

neighborhood. They both saw the street lights 

turning on, meaning the night sky has awoken.

“I really hope someone will buy these cookies. I 

know how irritated Maddy gets when things 

don’t go her way…” Alex thought to herself.

They stopped at the first house on the block. 

Maddy knocked on the door while Alex stood 

behind her.

An older man answered the door.

“Hi! Would you like to buy some-” 

“Do you know what time it is!” screamed the 

man. “It’s half past 7, I should be in bed by 

now. You should be in bed now!” His anger 

turned from Maddy to Alex. “How could you let 

this little girl be out so late? Do you know how 

irresponsible you are? I already have all the 

Girl Scout cookies I need, but even if I needed 

more, I would not buy from you. I would never 

support your troop!” and he slammed the door.
