Glenn winded on about the racoon in the store, in hindsight it was most likely the same racoon; no one bothered getting rid of it. Then the big question came.
"yeah I have a question about the layoffs." Jonah asked. My stomach dropped. I had no idea about the layoffs until now, yet it seemed like everyone else knew and was just waiting for the anticipated answer...well all except for one.
"Wait there's layoffs? When did this happen?" Marcus questioned.
"We found out at Cheyenne's wedding." Dina answered with a blunt expression and went back to mocking Glenn. Yet Marcus wasn't done with the questions
"Hold up, follow up question, why wasn't I invited to your wedding?"
"We were keeping it small." Cheyenne responded, it seemed fair enough.
I thought this conversation was done until another new employee responded,
"It was nice though." She just had to open her mouth.
"WhO aRe yOu?" Marcus sounded very discontent about the new employee.
"Alisha, I started last week."
"Well, why don't you tell everyone who is getting laid off." Thank goodness Garrett changed the subject.
"Well, I don't know, but I have until the end of the day to decide, so in the meantime, a few words about firework safety." Glenn said. After that I stopped listening, there was no point we barely sold any fireworks here, plus an overwhelming anxiety filled my chest, who was getting laid off?
"For six of you its gonna be your last." I tuned in to hear Glenn say that. Oh god six? One of them could be me, its even more of a chance than I thought. Maybe I could suck up to Glenn for the day, so I have less of a chance of getting fired, he's dumb enough for that to work, right?

We all went out to go to our allocated spots for the day, I was in clothes wear with Jonah today. I went over there to see Jonah folding clothes while talking to Garrett, as usual Jonah was talking about 'corporate greed,' and something about 'fat cats.' Garret looked like he was about to fall asleep. I headed over there and greeted both.
"Hey Y/n, you'll never believe what Jonah said to Amy last night." Garrett looked overjoyed.
"Oh god what." I couldn't contain my smile.
"No don't tell him! Not everyone on the planet needs to know." Jonah said with an annoyance in his tone. Garrett obviously didn't care though.
"He 'accidently' called Amy sexy." Garrett started laughing, so did I.
"You're not making me feel better about this you guys." Jonah looked sad.
"Oh I'm not trying to make you feel better about this, what you did was crazy, that's something a crazy person would do." Garrett started to calm down from laughing, so did I.

"Well, what should I do? Do I tell her I didn't mean it?" Jonah asked.
"Ah yes the best thing to do, go up to her and tell her she's not sexy, it's the politest thing to do." I said with obvious sarcasm in my tone.
"Why would you even call her sexy." Garrett questioned. This was the most I've ever seen Garrett smile in the time I've worked here.
"I don't know? Lots of people use the word sexy." Jonah tried to defend himself; it was not working.
"oh yeah, sure tons of people like hilarious gay teens, Gloria Estefan, cartoon skunks...that's about it."
"I swear I hear sexy all the time." It sounded like Jonah muttered that more to himself than to Garrett and I.
"Well if you hear it all the time why don't you use it then." I said as a joke, yet I don't think Jonah took as a joke.
"Deal." Jonah agreed to what I said like it was a dare, he was probably just joking about this though...hopefully.

I was walking around the store and stopped to a halt when I heard Jonah call the new employee, Alisha sexy. Oh god he wasn't kidding. Of course, Amy was there too.
Alisha started going off on him, telling him something about how she has six kids and how one is messed up and how she doesn't need an overgrown leprechaun telling her she's sexy. Suddenly there was a smash and a scream.
"I'm sorry I'm cleaning it up!" Cheyenne hesitated as she spoke. She accidentally dropped a tomato sauce jar. Both Jonah and Amy tried to help Cheyenne but she didn't take the offer. I went over to Alisha to apologise about Jonah, she still hated him though, it was pointless trying to change her mind.

The rain was pouring outside and was just getting worse, I was worried about how bad it'll be once my shift was over, I would have to walk home without an umbrella unless I asked Jonah for a ride home, he wouldn't mind right? Then I heard it, Jonah on the intercom.
"Attention shoppers, if you are the owner of a four-door, beige, sexy cabriolet, your lights are on. That again is a beige sexy cabriolet."
I thought it was impossible for him to become more embarrassing, yet he has done it. Everyone looked weirded out after he said that which was understandable, I know he was trying to make a point about the word sexy but he's just embarrassing himself at this point. After that I didn't want to talk to Jonah, in case he may bring up the word 'sexy' in the conversation and I could not deal with that.

I walked into Glenn's office to ask if I could do anything extra but when I opened the door Amy and Glenn were just sitting there with pictures of all the employees, I assumed they were trying to figure out who was getting fired.
"umm, ill just come back later." I said slowly closing the door, so I don't blow the paper out of order. That was not awkward at all. It was finally my break so I went into the breakroom but just as I sat down Glenn came in.
"Everyone write down the names of the six people you think should be laid off." Just as he said that I knew chaos was going to break out, so as usual I just stopped listening and scribbled on the piece of paper I was given. I heard lots of people agreeing on writing Marcus and Sandra. And that Jonah used 'sexy' again in his sentence.
Another employee remined Glenn that Jeff needed an answer in three minutes; this was concerning. Glenn just left the room with a poorly thought mumble for an excuse.

Ah such a long chapter! But hey I hope you guys liked it.
