It's Tuesday and time to work again but unlike other times we take the car now and not the bus. I felt like a little rich girl or something. Well that was over as soon as I had to work as cashier. The store was full of people looking at clothes. It was weird to see them live their own life. They gossip, talk about the world and fashion. Soon enough I spotted someone awfully familiar.

They must've noticed me staring. I felt my whole body aching. I felt itchy and nervous and I felt lightheaded. Mary was frozen too and we kind of held eye contact for a while. Mary looked so different now. She used to have bleach blond straight hair with pink tips. And she didn't have a nose piercing. They look really mature now for some reason. Maybe it was the short curly hair. Well she walked over to me and I had no idea what to expect. Was Mary gonna slap me? Say hi? Mary looked at me. "Ethan." They said. "You work here now?" "Yeah- what about you?" "I design clothes at some place. Doesn't matter." Well this was awkward. "Nice. I'm glad." I said. It was silent. "Mary I'm so sorry for what I have done." I genuinely am sorry. Choking her was so fucking weird of me. "You should be sorry. I forgive you kind of." Mary is so unbelievably sweet. An angel. If i could Id hug them. "I really hope we can be friends at some point." I said and slightly smiled at them. "Yeah. I'm pretty sure we will see each other again. I mean I work for the store you're working at so-" "Oh really ? Aren't you working somewhere else? You know not in the store?" The conversation was kind of going well. "Well yeahh but I kind of would've liked hanging out again." I can't believe it. She didn't want to see me ever again and now she's really asking me to hangout with her. "Absolutely- yeah." I smiled. "I know that you're good at art and fashion and all that and so am I so we'd be the perfect team to talk about my upcoming things or whatever-" "Yeah yeah I'd love to help Mary. I have time whenever." I said. This was so nice. Mary is so nice. Im so glad I haven't lost them completely. As much as I hurt them I still love them. As a friend. I'm pretty sure Alex will hate the fact I talked to Mary but so what. It's not like he will find out. "Well I have time at 7 pm today, how does that sound to you?" They asked. "Oh sure, I have time yeah." I smiled. "Great. Is your place alright?" "Uhm- maybe? I'll call you later alright?" Shit how was this gonna work? Am I just supposed to invite her in and Alex will kill her or something? And right in this moment Alex texted me something I didn't expect. 'Eth, I have to go to my parents this evening so just go home without me. We have to talk about the car lol.' He probably did steal the car. Idiot. "Actually Mary you can come."
