My classes went pretty fast today, probably because I was excited to start my new job and tell Shawn how obsessed I am with 5 Seconds of Summer. Other than some weird looks from bitchy people today has been a good day.
As I walk into the door I was greeted by the smell of pizza.
"I brought you pizza!" Shawn yells.
"Yes thank you so much!" I yell.
"How was your day?" He smiles.
"Pretty good, my friend Ally gave some girls the finger for laughing at me" I laugh "how bout yours?" I continue as I shovel a slice of pizza in my mouth.
"It's been a slow day, a few old ladies asked me for my number" he laughs.
"Omg did they score?"
"Nope I said I was too young to have a phone"
"Shawn!"
"Lydia!"
We both just laugh.
"So what do I do?" I ask
"You can get the CDs from the back and stack them over there" he points to the discount rack.
"Oh that reminds me, I loved the 5 Seconds of Summer album!"
"I thought you would"
I grab the CDs and stack them one by one. Until the first customer walks in, and guess who it is. One of the bitchy girls from yesterday morning.
"Hi do you need help with anything?" Shawn offers.
"Nope I was just looking for you actually, Shane right?" She looks him up and down.
"Shawn actually" I correct her.
"Oh it's you" she snaps.
"Yeah it's me" I laugh.
She looks around, at top 10 mostly.
"Hey Lydia, come here I'll show you how to work the register" Shawn signals me.
As I start to talk over the bitch starts to talk.
"Oh she works here?"
"Uh yeah, got a problem?" I ask.
"Yeah, you" she pouts
"Then leave!" Shawn yells.
Thank you Shawn. Praise the lord.
And she does.
"Isn't it bad to kick out a customer?" I ask.
"Not if they're rude" he rolls his eyes. "Why does she hate you so much?"
After I explain the story of yesterday he just laughs.
"So Lydia tell me about your self" he looks into my eyes and smiles.
"There's not much to tell" I shrug "I don't get everyone in this town knows my story, why don't you?"
"What do you mean?" He walks over to me.
"In this town in known for certain things and because of certain people is why I don't have many friends, people in this town are scared of me and just want to see me rot in hell"
"Well I don't know your story and you don't have to tell me right now, let me just tell you about myself first then" Shawn touches my shoulder.
"Okay" I smile. Shawn isn't like anyone I have met before. And I can see that our friendship will blossom very fast.
"Anyway my name is Shawn Mendes I'm a 17 year old drop out who now runs his parents music store as they are always travelling the world. I have no siblings and I practically live on my own up stairs."
"Wait you live here?"
"Yeah, up stairs. Wanna see?"
"What about the store?"
He walks over to the door and turns over the opened sign so it now says closed.
"There" he laughs.
I follow him to a back door that leads to stairs. As I get up the stairs I walk into a small kitchen that leads to a lounge room with a small TV to the right. He then takes me into a small bedroom. As soon as I walk in I notice a guitar in the corner.
"Do you play?" I ask
"Yeah I do"
"Can you show me something?"
"Maybe later"
"Okay."
We sit on his bed for a while, while he shows me picture of himself when he was younger.
"Isn't this violating the employee boss rule?" I ask
"There's no such thing in this store" he laughs.
I take this time to look at my phone. 7:00, oh shit my shift ended like an hour ago.
"Well I better get going, mum will want me home" I get up and leave but as soon as I open the store door rain rushes in.
"Shawn do you have an umbrella I can borrow?"
"There is no way you're walking in that! Let me drive you"
I agree and hop in his small Jeep that was parked in the garage.
The small sound of the radio comes through the speakers. I turn it up as one of my favourite songs were playing. Every now and then I catch Shawn singing along and I laugh as he messes up the lyrics. I give him the final directions and thank him as I get out of the car.
"See you tomorrow?" I smile
"Yes, thanks for today Lydia" he laughs.
"No problem, bye Shawn" I wink.
I don't know what it is about him. Maybe it's the way he smile when he's trying to be sarcastic or maybe it they way he doesn't judge me but whatever it is I like and my life is good when I'm around him, even though I've known him for like 24 hours he gets me more than anyone has my whole life.
I walk inside and tell my mum about my day, not the Shawn part though, she would freak out if she knew my new boss let me into his house and fed me pizza.
After dinner I shower and get into bed, I put 5sos on and fall asleep.
