You Got Me

Summer's End

Nick was different from his brothers. He had always had a feeling about but had never confirmed it until Freshman year of high school. By the end of his freshman year, he realized that he was gay. It took some time, but he was able to come out to his closest friends, Madi and Alahna.

Now here Nick is looking for a job so he can 1. have money, and 2. by himself more time on coming out to his family. His brothers play sports, which helps a bit, but Nick wants to have something to do on the side. So here he is, walking into a clothing store downtown to turn in his application. When he walks in, he is met with a black-haired female. She seemed so be about 5 feet tall and appears to be around his age. She's wearing a pink sweater with a light pair of blue jean shorts, and a pair of white crocs that looked like they needed to be washed. 

"Can I help you?" She asked as she fixed a rack close by. 

"I'm here to turn in my application." She glanced at him, before giving him a small smile.

"I can take that for you, if you'd like. The manager won't be back until tomorrow." Nick nodded, before handing her the paper. "What's your name?" She asked as he followed her to the desk. 

"Not to be rude, but couldn't you just read that off the application I just handed you." He replied in an uncomfortable manner. 

"I could, but I prefer to ask. Most of the time the name on the application, isn't the name that person goes by. For example, my name is Makayla, but I go by Mak. But if you went based off my application, then you wouldn't have known that." Mak said with a smile as she placed the application in a drawer under the desk. 

"My name is Nick." She looked up at him and smiled. 

"Well Nick, I hope you get the job. I'd like be friends with you." Nick smiled at her words. 

"I hope I get the job as well. You seem like a nice person." 

"If you think I'm nice, then when you get the job, I'll introduce you to my friend/roommate, Shay." Nick then gave her a confused look. 

"What do you mean by, 'when I get the job'?" 

"Because I'm the hiring manager and I think you're cool. But I have to run it by the boss first. My friend, Shay is the nightshift manager. So be expecting a call soon." Nick was stunned by her words. All he could do was smile nervously. 

"Thank you." 

"You're welcome. See you soon, Nick." Nick then started to make his way to the door. 

"I'll see you soon, Mak. Thank you again!" Nick skipped to his car, because he was so happy. Little did he know what was to come the rest of the summer. His life was about to change for the better.
