Securities

Fake

Chapter 4 - Fake

To Sapphire the only thing worst then working while tired, is working while tired on a slow day. Sapphire work at a retail shop so she's experienced slow days, but this seemed to go one forever, she just wanted to go home and sleep.

Sapphire manage to busy herself with putting security tags on clothes when she accidentally drops one, as she bent over to pick it up she heard somebody approach the front counter.

In a rush Sapphire smacked her head on the table while trying to stand back up. She heard some soft talking as she stood back up. However who the voice belonged to was the last person she expected.

The two stared at each other in shock.

"Ruby," Sapphire mumbled.

"Sapphire," Ruby replied, "ah, um, I didn't know you worked here!"

"Um, yeah, I got to pay the rent some how," Sapphire chuckled softly.

"Aw yeah, pay...the," Ruby mumbled, becoming so quiet that Sapphire could barely hear her.

"I didn't think that you would shop here," Sapphire pointed out.

"Oh I'm not here to shop but," this time Ruby didn't even finish her sentence.

"So then, why?" Sapphire asked, immediately regretting saying it because of how rude it sounded.

Ruby hesitated looking around the store a couple times. She finally stopped and looked at Sapphire. "Hey Sapphire, when do you get off for your break, or something?"

"Huh?" Sapphire questioned, looking down at her phone for the time, "um, just about an hour or so. Why?"

"When you get off, do you wanted to maybe to go to the food court and get something to eat...together ?" Ruby asked, just the slow and stuttering way Ruby asked made Sapphire rethink her answer.

"Sure, I'll meet you at the food court in an hour," Sapphire agreed.

After that Ruby ran out of the store as fast as she could. For the rest of the hour Sapphire couldn't quit thinking about Ruby's other motives to coming into the store. Even when she had customers to help she couldn't get the red head girl off her mind.

Finally the hour was over, Sapphire didn't particularly rush as she wanted to figure out what was going on. Sapphire stopped dead in her tracks, realizing something. She could use future vision to solve her dilemma. Sapphire rubbed her eyes and face, it seriously took her that long to remember that. She then began to rethink that possibility, what if there was no future where Ruby told her what was going on? Then again what if Ruby really did just want to have lunch with her? If so how did she find her at the store, she said she didn't know that she worked there.

Sapphire sighed realizing that she waste too much time on this and was running late. She temporary dropped her thoughts and ran to the food court. Once there she looked around for her multiple times, not seeing her at all.

'She's late,' Sapphire thought as she sat down at one of the tables, 'I'll wait a couple minutes then get lunch.'

Of course a couple minutes went by, and a couple more, and a couple more until Sapphire realized that she had wasted her entire lunch break over this. Sapphire slowly got up from the table, as she walked back to work she saw the last person she would want to see right now, Ruby.

"Sapphire," Ruby called, but Sapphire said nothing as she walked by, however Sapphire's attempt to just walk by failed as she stumbled slamming into Ruby's shoulder. Before Ruby could react Sapphire collected herself and continued walking away ignoring Ruby's pleads for her to stop.

Sapphire took a deep breath as got back to the store, she played off the rest of her day smiling as she helped everybody who came into the store.

Sapphire finally finished her day, as she clocked out she saw a paper lying on the table. The messy scribbles had a sense on familiarity to Sapphire, as she slowly picked it up.

She then understood everything, why Ruby really came into the store, why she was late, everything, Sapphire felt horrible.

This paper that Sapphire stared at with guilt was an job application to the store from Ruby.

A/N:

YES! I finished this much earlier then planned, due to the fact that I'm righting these in school now I can get them done much faster.

Anyway, to help me update faster I would love some chapter ideas.
