its finally weekend and im getting ready to go to work,i work at a local store as a cashier, i genuinely like this job,i get 500 dollars each week. I arrive at my workplace and i open it up,rearranging things around i hear the doors open..its that guy,from my high school oh my god. My heart starts beating out of my chest again,whats wrong with me??? I go to the register to wait for him so i can scan his stuff while i try to calm down so i dont make this embarrassing again.
  Erik: Good morning! is that all you need?
  Leo: Good morning,i need a pack of cigarettes as well please.
  Erik: may i see your ID?
Leo pulls out his ID and hands it to me,i couldnt help myself and i again,let my mouth speak beforehand.
Erik: oh..wow but how come you're still in high school?
Leo: i had to do something that doesnt involve you.
Erik: Im sorry . I say while i scan his stuff and pull out a pack of cigs. Thats gonna be 40,97 cash or card?
  Leo: cash. He hands me the money.
  Erik: have a nice day!
  Leo: Im Leo by the way
  Erik: oh,im Erik!
  Leo: cool,see you around. He says while he leaves the store.
Oh my god his names Leo thats so cute and hes 18..hes much older than me,oh god am i falling in love? this can't be happening, it never did. I go on with my day and then in a second,my shift is over and im walking through the doors,locking them,there he was..Ethan.
  Ethan: Hop in the car,im driving us home.
  Erik: thanks a lot Ethan! I say while getting the car,immediately i can smell alcohol on him. Did you drink?
  Ethan: shut it,im driving home.
  Erik: just park the car here..and lets walk home..please i dont wanna let you drive drunk,its really dangerous. I say in a worried manner grabbing onto the car handle to get out,as i put a foot out of the car i feel a hand on my arm,grabbing me back in aggressively.
Ethan: Erik just come home with me im gonna be fine, he says while shutting the car doors. How was work?
Erik: ..it was okay,the guy i told you about came around here,his names Leo!
Ethan: oh thats cool i guess..how old is he?
Erik: hes 18! I say smiling and giggling
Ethan: alright,do you feel anything for him yet,Erik? He says while slowing the car down,pulling into a parking lot.
Erik: um..why does that genuinely matter,no i dont think i feel anything yet,why did u park the car here?
  Ethan: Erik do you feel anything for him? He says while looking at me insistently.
Erik: no..
Ethan puts his hand on my leg and i flinch.
Erik: what are you doing? I knew you were drunk!
He leans in getting closer to me and i can smell whiskey on his breath,i back up trying to push him out of my face,he grabs my waist tightly while i try to resist his touch.
Erik: hey,stop that whats wrong with you??
Ethan: Your lips look so good right now. He says while staring into my soul with either hate or love in his eyes..I cant tell but i can feel his eyes burning through mine while i push him away.
Erik: I said STOP IT! i yell at him.
Ethan: Gosh,sorry, i dont know what happened. Lets just head home.
That night we didnt talk with each other at all,it was so weird,hes never done such things to me before but since i brought that guy up he started acting like a fucking obsessed psycho. I hope hes going to change his behavior or else ill have to cut him off and move somewhere else..
