Perks of Being a Nobody [ON HOLD]

15.

"Hey, Lenny. Can you just stay here, and make sure all of the buttons are in alphabetical order?"

"You already checked them. Don't worry, I know you're just trying to make it look like I'm productive. You can't tell him you only have two workers at the store."

"Thank you so much! I'll buy you an ice cream or dinner or something." I rushed back to the SS worker.

"What took you so long?"

I internally groaned.

"I had to explain exactly what needed to be done, and how it should be done. I don't want the store to look messy." I sneak a glance at Lenny, and he has his phone positioned so that it looked like he was just changing the station, but I saw that he was texting someone. A group of people actually.

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you that this inspection will be more thorough than your previous ones. Child Protection Services and Social Services have both raised their standards, so you should be prepared." Great. We might possibly be screwed.

Just as Mr. G was getting ready to leave, there was a small commotion outside. I looked out the window and saw all of the soccer guys I befriended at lunch walking by. They stopped, looked into the store, talked for a few seconds, then all walked in. Thank goodness for Lenny, who I'm guessing texted everyone and told them to come here.

"Hello, welcome to Random Fandoms. Are you looking for anything particular, or are you just browsing?" I said in my "pleasant" shopkeeper's voice.

"Just browsing, thanks." Jake said, winking at me.

"Okay. Well, if you need anything, just ask Lenny here, or if he's busy, I will be back in the music section." I waved at the boys, heading back to Mr. Geneo.

"Wait, I actually have one question." Brent blurted. Thank goodness.

"Yes?" I happily exclaimed.

"I just wanted to know what types of shirts you have, and what sizes?" I led Brent over to our wall of shirts, explaining sizes on the way. "Okay, so, we have the normal unisex shirts, men's, women's, and youth. You'll probably want either a medium or large in men's. In unisex, you'll need either a large or extra large. What type of shirt did you want? Band tee, comic books, movies, T.V. shows?"

"Ummm.... I think I'm gonna get a band tee. What bands do you have?"

"We have many different ones. What style or group were you looking for?"

"Like punk-ish, rock-ish. Panic! at the Disco, Fall Out Boy?" I smiled. That was our largest selection.

"Okay. Well, the section you're looking for would be right over here, in the bands/ artists section. Is there anything else you needed?" Please say yes, please say yes.

"Actually,-" Brent was cut off by Mr. Geneo.

"Charlotte! I am leaving now. Please make sure to tell Annie about the inspection and that she should be more responsible with the store. Goodbye Charlotte, see you soon."

HEY EVERYONE! I'M STILL ALIVE AND STUFF.
So, yeah. I have been wanting to post this for a while, but I didn't really like the flow of it. So, here you go. I know I said I will be updating frequently, but I don't even know if anyone wants me to continue, so I psych myself out, and don't post. So, any who, I hope you enjoy!
