Don't you work at a gas station?

Chapter 3

I was halfway to Starbucks and i noticed a stray cat following me, I found a bench to sit at and started to pet it. I saw a Safeway across the street, and looked threw my bag to see if i had any money. To my surprise I had 15 dollars from after I finished working yesterday. I ran across the street quickly while a car almost was close to running me over.

It started to rain, so i went into the store quickly while covering my head with my book. as i got in i dried myself, and started looking for the animal isle. After some time of searching I found it and started searching for the cat food, I grabbed a few of the canned foods and a mini pre-made cat house that was big enough for a single cat.

I started heading to the check out, and soon enough it was my turn to go. The lady scanned my items and told me the total. I took the money out of my pocket and saw that i was a dollar short, then i felt a hand on the side of my shoulder and another hand giving a debit card to the cashier. I quickly turned around and saw Enzo calm but serious stare glaze at me.

After the cashier gave him his card back, the lady started to get the bags. As i was about to speak, the lady gave him the bags. And we walked out, i noticed a red mark on Enzo's cheek. I felt almost sorry that i hit him a bit to hard, I also noticed that his eyes were red as if he was crying earlier.

Y/N: "hey about earlier, I'm sorry I shouldn't hav-"

 Enzo: " do you have a cat?"

Y/N: "oh I don't I just found a stray one across the stree-"

Before i could finish my sentence, he grabbed my arm while pulling out his umbrella. While we walked outside the Safeway parking lot, it looked like he was holding back his tears. But he was also serious, we walked to the light stop and pressed the button to cross. We just stood there in silence, I felt cold as some of the umbrellas rain went on the side of my arm.

As the light turned red and we started walking, Enzo took off his jacket and put it on me. it was weird that he would do such a thing, but as i pointed to the bench where the cat was he stopped and turned to me.

Enzo: "hey Y/N I'm sorry I had to put you threw that, can you please come over for dinner?"

I nodded knowing that he meant just as friends but to just go along with it in front of his parents, as we got to the bench and started to take the stuff out of the bag the cats we're grooming all over Enzo, we put the house behind a close tree. and put the food in there, the cat seemed very hungry.

As Enzo took out his phone, I glanced over at the time and realized my work started in a hour. I almost started to panic.

Y/N: "Hey Enzo what time do you guys have dinner?"

Enzo: "9 pm why?"

Y/N "oh uhm i soon have to go home to tell my mom that I'm having dinner at yours."

Enzo: "okay well ill see you later, you know my address."

As Enzo left I started to pet the cat one last time and started heading home, I was practically running down the sidewalk to my house. As I got home I rushed threw the front door and straight to my room, I didn't have enough time to say hi to my mom. I went on my computer and went on the date for money URL, even though I promised myself not to go on it again I had to. after sending a old man some feet picks he sent me 2,000 dollars. and ran put of my room to the kitchen. I felt embarrassed that this was the kind of things I had to do for money.

Y/N: " Mom can I use your car for work?"

She nodded and I quickly ran outside to the car and put the keys in, the mall was close to my work so as I got there I quickly parked my car and ran inside the mall with only 15 minutes to spare. I ran into the Gucci store and found a cute outfit, after I payed I ran out of the store to the gas station.

My boss was there waiting for me as I walked in and grabbed a Starbucks coffee drink from the coffee section of the drinks.

Boss: "still trying to appear rich aren't you, people will soon find out your poor and work at a gas station."

I looked at him with a angry face and went into the bathroom, and got changed. As I got out of  the bathroom I went behind the counter and started doing my job, I still didn't know why I never quit I only got paid 17 dollars and hour.

As it has been a long 20 minutes, I quickly got bored and started to stare at the people across the street. I noticed someone familiar, It was Sam! with a girl I stared for a few more minutes till I saw that they were going behind a tree. they got really close to each other and soon enough they kissed, I felt like I was stabbed in the heart. Sam had a girlfriend all this time, I felt broken that my bestfriend that I've had a crush on for 2 years had a girlfriend but didn't bother to tell me. I burst out crying that the person I've thought I could have a chance with was taken.

I looked at the clock with 13 minuets left till Enzo was going to pick me up, I just left the gas station and ran into my car.
