Chapter 8

            “Yes sir?” I asked. “You to know better than to be punching each other during work hours… This is a community place… my customers won’t come here if yall punching each other in the eye…” She scolded. I looked over to Cassie. “See… MISS, she started it…” Cassie said pointing a nicely manicured nail at me. I rolled my eyes. “that’s what they all say.” I said.

            Mrs. Manager Lady sighed. “That’s enough. Both of you… y’all are fired.” She said. I gasped. “Ma’am, I cannot be fired… this is important and if I am fired I might not be able to get into collage!” I exclaimed. “well, Naomi… I’m sorry. But I can not have anyone in my store doing stuff like that! It will ruin my good reputation.”

            She is starting to sound like Cassie… jeeze, it just never ends! “I’m sorry miss… I quit instead of you firing me…” I said before walking out. It will look better on my collage application. I walked out of my job and sat down in front of Starbucks. I pulled out my phone and called Tyler.

            “Aren’t you suppose to be at work?” was the first thing he said. “Hello to you too…” I said laughing. “what’s up?” “You want to meet me at the mall?” I asked. “Uh, why?” “I may or may not have gotten fired…” I said rolling my eyes… even though he couldn’t see me. “WHAT?!” “Yeah, yeah… I’m sorry.” He sighed. “Why did you get fired?”

            To tell the truth I didn’t want to tell him why. It’s not because I don’t want him to know it’s because what she said was true. I do like him… a lot more than I should because I know I should be focusing on my studies instead of chasing some guy who I will never be with.

            “I uh, got in a fight…” I said smoothly. “Oh ok… why?” He asked like it was the dumbest thing in the world. “Uh, because this girl started it!” I yelled. “No… it was Cassie… what did she do?” He asked. “Your to smart.” “I know” “Let’s get you over here…” I said smiling. “Stop trying to change the subject Naomi…. But I’ll come anyway.” “OK… BYE SEE YOU AT 12:30!” I yelled before hanging up.

            “Naomi! YOU MADE ME LOOSE MY JOB!” Cassie yelled at me. “Excuse me… I believe it was you who made me loose my job.” I said back in a matter of fact tone. I rolled my eyes. “Screw you…” I said before standing up and walking away. I heard her grunt and stomped her foot. I laughed under my breath. I would have laughed out loud but she’s already angry enough… no need to make her turn all green and shirtless…

            I continued walking around till 12:30 and suddenly I got a call. Holding up the id I smiled. He never missed a second. “Yes Tyler?” I asked with a smile. “Hello, where are you? I am at the Food Court but your not here.” He said. I Laughed. “Obviously… I am at the…” I looked up at the sign of the store… I wasn’t paying attention to the stores I was in. But when I saw the name and where I was I blushed. “I am uh… I’ll come to you?” I asked uncertainly.

            I mean you would be too if you found out you were in a lingerie store. “No… I want to come to you…” He said determined. “But n-no… I’m going to find you.” “Why? Naomi, what store are you in?” He asked. I could tell he was smirking. “Nothing, no where… I’ll meet you by the fountain in front of Kara’s Lingerie Boutique.” I said. “I see you.” He whispered.

            I gasped, looking around the store. “No you don’t…” “Actually I do, you’re in Kara’s Lingerie Boutique” He said laughing. “Fine. Yes I am where you are?” I asked. “At the fountain, I’ve been watching you linger around this whole mall…” He said as I looked out the store and sure enough I saw a boy named Tyler sitting at the fountain.

            I ran out of the store. “Hey, jerk.” I said rolling my eyes. “What is it with you and those kinds of stores?” Tyler asked. I laughed. “I don’t know…” “Any way’s what do you want to do?” He asked. I shrugged. “Don’t care.” He nodded then grabbed my hand running into some store. Looking around I saw million’s of books. “a book store?” I asked. He chuckled. “Nah, I work here.” He said. I was shocked. “Since when?” I asked. He smiled. “Since I own it.” I gaped at him. “YOU LIAR!” I yelled before jumping on his back.

            Suddenly I heard clapping behind me. I jumped off of his back and turned to look at the person I didn’t want to see. Ever.

            Chase… The school bully.
