I was visiting a store called the Retro Game Den, where my bestfriend and neighbor worked. Looking around for some games that I would probably finish in a week or two. Usually when I walk in to a game store I like to look out and make sure there are no creepy cashiers or 40 year old gaming men, there always happens to be one there. Luckily it was just Brady, he was a little older then me but he was the only friend I had growing up. Most of them moved away, he was the only one that really stayed in the neighborhood. He was tall, tan, very muscular and always wearing a hideous ball cap hat that i always made fun of him for wearing. Next to him was a new guy I haven't seen at the Den before. He had dark nappy brown hair, had strong arms and shoulders, cute sideburns, and a button nose I thought he was handsome.
I walked up to Brady and said "Hey B-cap any new interesting games?" He looked at me with a suprise and some irritation on his face towards my joke, " You already finished with the games you bought last week?, and can ya stop with the ball cap jokes already." " Well i have the house to myself for two weeks, wanted to visit and get something to pass by the time and probably not." I said. He asked "Really your dad is letting you stay by yourslf for a couple weeks, knowing how "awesome" your grades are." While doing quotations with his tiny bone fingers. "Yes I'm 17 I'm pretty sure I will survive, plus he is going hunting for awhile and I told him I didn't want to go this year." I explained. "Oh that's a suprise. Anyways about those games, I'm actually going on my lunch break right now but maybe Brandon can help you out." He called over Brandon who was re-organizing shelves. Brandon walked by me and next to Brady. "What's up?, What do you need?" He asked Brady. " Kattie needs some help, I'm going on my lunch break." Ditching Brandon on me Brady walked out of the store silently giggling.
Brandon asked "So what did you need help with miss?" I told him I was just looking for a game to play for a couple of weeks, and he said "Well." Walking towards the Xbox 360 section. I stopped and said "Im a ps3 kindu girl." "Oh sorry, my bad." He said while spinning around heading towards me his face a little bit red. After I told him what games I was into and looking around I decided on picking up Doom 3, he looked at me like I didn't know what I had picked up and asked "Uhh, you sure you want that game it's not that great?" "Well I don't know, I'm the customer here your supposed to be helping me here." I said in a joking sassy voice. He looked around for a different game with a smile at how I had sounded. He grabbed Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor. He said "Well I would get this, I have it and since your looking for a game that lasts you a couple weeks this will probably do it." I looked at it for a couple seconds without caring really what it was about and said "Ok, this will work." He walked back to the register, me following behind him trying not to get to close but I was so ready to go home eat dinner and sleep. He rang up my game some other stuff I nagged on coming up to the register. He didn't saying anything so it was awkward while he was bagging my stuff so when I was walking towards the door I said "Hope to see you later Brandon." In a flirtatious way. I saw looking at the reflection of the window, him run his fingers through his hair and get all red.
I started to walk over to the sandwich shop nearby to where Brady has his lunch breaks, I didn't drive yet so I uasully get a ride from him. I walked in the store seeing Brady at the counter stuff his face with chips and suckling down a soda. "Hey you almost done, I need a ride home?" I asked with little patience in my voice."Slow down I'm enjoying my meal here, want to talk to you anyways." He said."About what? I said while taking a sip of his soda. "Come on, this is my dinner here." He said whinning."Ok ok fine, what did you want to ask me?" I said trying to be patient with his slowness. "Soo, what do you think of Brandon." He said moving eyebrows up and down. I hit his shoulder and told him "Really is that why you ditched me, so you could hook me up with your friend?" "Ow, calm down Mike tyson. You haven't had a boyfriend all summer first of all and secondly he's single too and has been for a while and thirdly I was just fooling with ya." He said laughing. I punched a couple more times making him stand up and say "OK I get I'll stop, come on I'll drive you home I gotta get back to work with Brandooon." He said raising his brows again, tapping me on the shoulder. I chased him out of the shop and to his car, trying to get a good wack on him. I eventually got him and squealed like a girl, I laughed. When we got to my house I got out and Brady stopped me "You should get a boyfriend though Kattie, I'm just trying to give some options before summers over." I looked at him and said "I know I know. Sorry I hit you so hard b-cap, see you later." "Alright, see ya later." He said driving away waving his hand out the window.
When I got inside and I went straight upstairs and changed into a crop top and some loose sweatpants, throwing my dirty clothes next to my bed on the floor. After I got dressed I went downstairs and put some of yesterday's pizza in the microwave. I started to nod off, but the ding of the microwave woke me. I got a blanket and a pillow, put on American Horror Story and enjoyed the quiet. When I finished my pizza and two episodes of my TV show, I grabbed my pillow and blanket and went upstairs nearly falling down them from my dead legs i had from sitting on them for 40 minutes. I managed to make it to my room and barely making my blanket land on my bed. After my blanket never ending on my bed i went to the bathroom brushed my teeth and put my hair in a not so accomplished bun. I went to my room collapsing on my bed. I ended up falling asleep within ten minutes, relaxing to sound of the wind outside my window.
