It was another one of those busy afternoon days, where there were long lines at the slushie bar. People were waiting to purchase their drinks for this hot 'summery' day.
I sat down watching as the little children would beg their parents to buy them a lemonade or fruit juice.
This place was crowded, probably because the slushie stan was located in a mall. The name of this mall was Richardson and who named it? Well, thats another story I could tell later.
Speaking of which, I was on my lunch break. I worked at the 'Sweet 16' clothing store. Well, obviously just how the name sounds, it was a womans/teen girls clothing store. The pay wasn't much. From 8am-6pm and they were giving me $20 an hour. But ehh, I mean at least I was making some 'mula' for the summer.
Being 18 is a cruel thing, because not having the advantage to ask your mom or dad for money is just hell!
I sighed as my phone decided to ring, it was my best friend Nikki. I groaned as I answered the phone afraid to hear what she would say this time about work.
"Hello? Hello!" Nikki shouted.
"Yes! Nikki, hey. Whats the stitch?" I responded."Where are you!? Miss Mahogany is here and she wants to see every employee pronto! So get your lazy bum back here now!"
I groaned once again. "Okay! Okay! I'm coming!"
"NOW NOW!" She shouted.
I hung up the phone.Ah, yes. Nikki my best friend from 2nd grade. I could still remember that day when she saved my life from these neighborhood bullies. I wasn't nothing but a small fry back then. I couldn't fight nor could I run, but luckliy fate put aside that and let me meet Nikki.
I mean she could get kinda annoying once in a while, but the both of us have a bond like nobody else.
I rose up from the chair and walked back towards the store. The place seemed alittle crowed, which was good for business to be booming.
They might even be able to give me a raise if I tried to do the extra work of sales.Passing the crowd, I entered, pass the 'Staff only' door and found Nikki, talking to Brea. Brea was the head manager here and she seemed to make it every year for the best manager of the month award.
"(Y/n)!" Nikki ran over to me and bear hugged me, even thought she wasn't that big.
"Can't...breath...Nikki....loosing oxygen!" I faked myself having a seizure.
"Oh my gosh! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to almost kill you!" Nikki rubbed my back.
I laughed and patted her away.
Brea walked over to us, "Hey, (y/n) did you hear? Ms. Mahogany is giving everyone a big raise! We're having a small competition to beat the other shopping stores in the mall! If we make the most budget outta the others we're getting $35 raise!"
I then began to daydream, 'A raise no way?! This has to be a dream come true!' I crossed my arms and smiled foolishly.
"A raise, huh? Thats sounds awesome!" I replied."I can't wait to go shopping at the 'Aboutique! Gonna get those stiletoes!" Nikki gleamed.
"SHHH! I don't think you want, anyone to hear you saying that! I mean we're going against the other stores Nikki!" Brea scolded Nikki.
"What is she doing this for, though?" I asked.
"Because! I'm sick and tired of all those wannabe stores selling their fake glittery dress, tops and faulty accessories!"
We all quickly turned around to find Ms. Mahogany behind us, looking alittle angry. Next to her was this brown-tanned man, he looked like a butler, he was dressed in a yellow long sleeved shirt with a cute small black bowtie and those kind of long plain black pants with the staps that connect around the shirt. His shoes were plain back as well, along with these white gloves he wore. His hair was a black and placed in a rat-tail. Around his chin to face was prickled full of a hair. I watched as his plain white souless eyes stared right at us.
"Miss! I'm sorry we didn't mean-" Brea was cut off.
"Quiet! I've already had a horrible day and I don't think I'm in the mood to argue with anyone!" Mahogany Exclamied.
She walked passed us and stood up on a small stage clapping her hands loud.
"Attention everyone! Please Attention!" All the employees and managers came up to her as quick as possible.
"Okay people, I know that today was suppose to be the compettion of all clothing stores, but instead it has been moved to Monday morning, next week!" Mahogany explained.
I sighed in relief, happily that I would be able take a good break but sad that I won't be getting that raise today.
"Do not worry! Be sure to prepare yourselves for the Monday Morning Battle at 8am sharp! I don't want any slackers! Do you hear me? Or you know the drill, YOU ARE FIRED! Thank you and have a splended day!"
Ms. Mahogany then walked off the stage, looking alittle lightened up.Everyone else walked back to their work stations and I just stood there watching Nikki and Brea freak out about their raise.
"So we aren't getting that raise? This is awful!" Nikki began sigh.
"I know right! And I was planning on paying for my netflix bill and buying food for my entire weekend!" Brea sighed as well.
"Are the two of you alright?" Ms. Mahogany returned. Nikki and Brea stood attentivley and smiled.
"Yes, Ms." They both said in unison.
I still stood and watched with my arms crossed.
"Well, come on now! Get back to work! I'm not paying you to slack off!" Mahogany clapped her hands.
I began to get irritated with the whole fact that she was treating us like kids or worst animals! She then caught eye to eye contact with me and glared.
"Is something the matter? I said get back to work!" She yelled at me.
"Huh? I can't accept that kind of attitude, even if you are my boss." I replied.
She then looked at me really angry, "What?!" She was about to walk towards me until, Nikki jumped in front of me.
"Umm, hey! Ms. I'm sorry about my friend, shes just alittle tired from all the work, plus shes been feeling sick after she didn't properly dry her wet hair last night! " Nikki said obviously lying.
Mahogany then stood up straight, "Well, please control your friend with the proper and most respectful way to talk to higher ups! Just don't let this happen again."
She then grouched and walked out the door.I sighed , "Thanks again Nikki, looks like you saved me again!" I patted her back smiling. She wasn't moving, I then walked in front of her. Nikki looked as if she were hypnotised.
I flicked my finger, "Earth to Nikki!""Huh! Oh sorry did you say something (y/n)?" Nikki replied.
"Are you okay? Whats wrong?" I checked her head to see if she were sick.
"Did you see...." She replied.
"See what?"
"The way he looked at me! That butler guy~. He was so hot and cute! Ahhh~." Nikki said swooned.
"Someone's in love!" Brea came over to us.
I nodded and agreed with Brea. "Out of all the times you had the chance for love, you had to go and choose this one!" I chuckled.
"HEY! I'm being serious guys! I think he could be the one! That one guy who was meant for me~!" Nikki spun around and around.
I grabbed her by the shoulder. "Okay miss lovergirl, time to head back to work!"
"Okay!"
The three of us walked out back into the store, going to do our regular jobs.
