I had woken up late.
It was around 10:00 when I woke up, and I needed to wake up at 7:00.
I didn't even know if I wanted to wake up, what if I would have to close my shop because no one wanted to buy anything?
"Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavour."
I knew that I needed to just try again, of course, no one would come on the first day, they probably don't even know that my shop exists!
So I got up out of bed and was ready to try again.
...
I was once again, outside of my shop. It was around 11:00, and I had just gotten there about twenty minutes earlier. I was about to flip the sign from, "Closed," to "Open" When I felt a tap on my arm.
"Excuse me, is this store open?" I swiftly turned around and looked behind me. "Oh, yeah it's open, were you interested in looking around?" "No, no. But uh, do you know where the owner is?" I felt confused, why did they want to know where the owner is? "I'm the owner actually." Then the kids' attitude changed almost immediately. "That is so cool!" "What? What do you mean?" "I can't believe that you actually know Wilbur Soot! He mentioned you and I wanted to know where you were located in Birmingham and I can't believe I actually found the store!" This was too much information to process. Did Wilbur say something about me on his Youtube channel?
I quickly asked the kid if they wanted to come inside and buy something. They looked as if they were about fourteen. They responded by asking if they could take pictures inside, when I said "Yes", they almost immediately ran inside. At least I got my first customer, but they were just here because I got mentioned by Wilbur. Were they even going to buy something? They were just taking pictures around and then they were typing something.
"Can I take a picture with you? I just think that you're really cool." When I heard that my heart melted. Why would a random kid admire me so much? "Sure." The kid then stood next to me and took a selfie. "What are you going to do with the picture?" "Oh um, can I post it on Twitter?" They want to post the picture on Twitter? "Sure, I don't mind." The kid then typed something on their phone and then clicked a button. "Thank you so much for letting me take a look around! Um..." "My names M/N." "Thank you M/N, I'll tell my friends about you!" The kid then waved and walked it the door.
That wasn't too bad.
...
I had called Wilbur.
He told me that when he was streaming yesterday he told his 'Chat?' about me and how we met on a bus. I responded by telling him about what had happened earlier that morning.
"The kid then told me that they thought that I was cool. They also posted a picture of me on Twitter, I don't have Twitter though." "Are you getting any more customers?" "No, the kid didn't even buy anything." "Oh, Well I hope you get a customer soon. Well, I've got to go, I've just arrived at the store." "Oh, okay. Bye!" "Bye."
I put down my phone, but lucky me, I heard the shops' door opening.
"Hel-..." I saw Wilbur standing by one of my bookshelves. "Wilbur? What are you doing here? I just got off the phone with you and you said that you were at the store." "I am at the store, your store." "Yeah, but why are you here?" "I told you yesterday that I would visit you sometime." "I thought you were joking." "Well, you can tell that I wasn't." I laugh a bit at that. "thanks for coming, uh." God, this is so awkward. "I actually wasn't going to open the shop today and just take a day off." "You could still take a day off, It doesn't look like you have any more customers." I laugh at my own expense. "I guess, but I don't know what I would do for the rest of the day, it's only 12:00." "I have an idea."
...
Wilbur and I were now walking around Birmingham.
I know that I still don't know him that much, but he's my only friend. When I moved to the U.K I didn't bother to try and make any friends. I was too busy focusing on opening a bookstore, I guess opening this store got me, my first friend.
"Can I take a picture with you?!" "What." I look at the person in front of me. "You're Wilbur Soot right?" I then realized that the person wasn't talking to me, but Wilbur. "Oh, of course, you can take a picture with me!" "Oh my god, thank you so much!" I stepped out of the way so that they could take a picture with Wilbur. After they took the photo the person said something that I couldn't hear and said bye to Wilbur.
"Does that usually happen?" "Yeah, sometimes I get recognized in public." "Oh." "Sorry about that by the way." "No need to be sorry, I'm just surprised." I then heard a ding go off, I didn't bring my phone so it must have been Wilburs. "What was that?" "The child's messaging me again." What child? Was he married, did he have kids? "Do you have a kid?" "What?..." I hear see him start to laugh, I guess he doesn't have kids then. "No, I'm friends with this guy named Tommyinnit, have you heard of him?" Tommyinnit? "I've heard of him, but I've never watched any of his videos or anything.? "How come you've heard of him, but not me?" Wilbur puts on a disappointed face, and I laugh.
"I guess that's just because he's more popular than you." "That's not true." "Doesn't he have more subs than you?" "Uhhh..." "He has like three million more than you!" "Okay okay, fine he does have more subs than me, but that doesn't mean I'm not popular!" "I guess, oh and uh, what time is it?" "It's about 3, why?" "I still need to go grocery shopping, I've got to go." "Oh...Well, I guess I'll see you later then." "I'll call you later if you want." "Sure." I waved goodbye to Wilbur and jogged towards the bookshop to grab my phone.
