Work. Work. Work.
Monday's, Wednesday's and Friday's.
Checking people out and restocking CDs

Sighing I remove myself from behind the register and pick up the box of CDs that need to be place somewhere on a shelf. I let out a big huff once I have the box fully in my arms. I walk down one of the walkways and start placing the CDs on the shelves in their right places.
About ten minutes of placing CDs everywhere around the store, the bell to the door rings signifying that someone is here. I look up from the middle table and saw four boys I didn't want to see for the rest of the day or for the rest of my life. Quickly I squat down and hide behind the middle table and just watch them. I know that seems creepy, but I rather just watch than talk.

"Hello is anyone here?" I hear Ashton ask as I duck my head behind the middle table once again.

"So I can just take something and it would be alright?"

I sigh because I know if I just let them take something I can get fired and being fired from my favorite job would be awful. I place the box down on floor as I stood up straight and look over at the register. I hear an oh-so familiar chuckle as I quickly scoot to the register.

"May I help you?" I mumble as I look up at the four boys I really despised.
Ashton was standing at the register and leaning on the counter top while Michael, Luke and Calum were watching.

"Well yea I was wondering if you had a vinyl copy of demolicious by Green Day?" Ashton asks while tapping his fingers against the counter top.
Before I could answer Luke scoffs and pushes himself off the wall he was leaning against. I snap my gaze over to him and saw as he starts walking over to the counter. He stands beside Ashton and stares at me then letting out a chuckle. I feel my throat go dry as my heart fell to my stomach.

"Ashton look at her. Does she look like she knows what that is? She looks like she knows shit about music." He says with a smirk as Michael let out a chuckle. I felt my face heat up in embarrassment as Ashton starts laughing. Calum was the only one who didn't laugh at his attempt to embarrass me. Well it wasn't an attempt because he actually did.

"Oh leave her alone Luke. She's working in a music store for God sakes." Calum defends as he stands back with his arms crossed.

"Why are you defending her? She's a nobody." Luke shrugs while pushing himself off the countertop. I mentally roll my eyes as tears form in the back of my eyes. I've always been sensitive to the smallest things such as being picked on or being belittled by other people.

"Let's go, we'll find it somewhere else." Luke said before exiting the music store followed by Ashton and Michael. Calum on the other hand stays behind and watches as the other three exited.

I really don't like Luke.

"Hey I'm sorry for them. They can all be such assholes sometimes." Calum states while walking over to the counter and leaning on it.
I shrug at his attempt of an apology as I sit on the stool and look down at my feet.

It wasn't even all of them it was just Luke.

"So about this vinyl, do you have it?"

I nod as I hop back off the stool and make my way to the back shelf. I hear him walk behind me as we both pass the middle section, where I was hiding not even ten minutes ago.
Once we make it to the back shelf I walk over and grab the step stool. Calum let out a chuckle as I stand on it and grab the record. I hop back down and stand in front of him showing him the record.

"Is this it? Because you know, I don't know anything about music."
He looks down at me and laugh at my smart remark. Noticing that there was quite a height difference I looked up at him. He looks a little over six feet while I'm a measly five-six. We walk back to the front where the register was located and rang it up. It came up to twenty, which in my case was kinda of steep but Calum bought it nonetheless.

"What did he need this for?" I ask as I look up from placing the vinyl in a bag.

"Well he said that he broke his other one when in reality Michael and I broke it, but he doesn't know that so we'll keep that between me and you." He said while sending me a quick wink making a blush settle in my cheeks. I nod and pass him his receipt and the bag.

"I'll see you around babe." He said while walking out of the door making me fall onto the stool and sigh.

Out of all times, why is all of this stuff happening now?

~*~

Well Luke that wasn't very nice :( but isn't Cal just the best?
He's such a good friend. Twenty bucks for a vinyl oh please. Ash could live without it if it was me. Just saying. I'm just joking Ash I love you.

Yea and this is quite short and boring so I may or may not do an double update!

Oh and to the people fucking with Liam leave him alone before I get Louis and Zayn to slay you.
Liam is one of the most sweetest and caring people in the world and for him to get all this shit is unfair. Liam deserves absolutely none of this shit so quit messing with Liam. I love him to death and he's here for us and knowing that some of us are upset with him makes him upset and no one wants an upset Liam. I'm absolutely pissed off at this whole situation and it ruined my night. People are so insensitive and stupid.

I'm sorry....I just had to let that out.
