I was stocking a overrated and overpriced cat food called The Cats Meow, on one of the creaky, metal shelfs of a Petland pet store.
As I was continuing my task, my boss, Joey, yelled "Haiz!", across the store, making every fucking customer stare directly at me. He's a dick. "Joe Man!", I hollered back to reverse the awkwardness towards him. Then when he gave me a questioning look, I cleared my throat and responded with what I was originally supposed to say, "Boss." Which I stated with a fake smile.
Finally, as my shift came to a end, thank god. I took off my hideous Petland apron and threw it in my extremely small storage locker in the back of the store, where only the employees were allowed. I started to walk out, Mr. Dick aka Joey, stopped me. "Hey, Hailee. Um, I was just wondering if y-you'd like to go out sometime? With me." He asked with false pride in the eyes, while being disgusted, looked him up and down. Then after I smiled sarcastically. "Drop about 50 years and about 50 pounds and then I'll think about cheating on my super sexy boyfriend and rolling with a pervert like you." Then I ended the conversation with a small grin and pushed besides him.
As I went through the automatic see-through doors, I saw my best friend, Cara D., waiting for me in her old, worn-out, blue Volkswagen. "Hey, my lil' bitch!" Cara, yelled, I smiled. "Lil' bitch" was one of my many nicknames from Cara. As I got in, I noticed Cara grinning at the back side of Joey through the doors of Petland. "He's hot as hell." Cara said. I rolled my eyes and laughing, then Cara looked at my raising one of her thick, but famously known eyebrows. "What? Why are you laughing?" She asked, squinting her eyes. "Cara, he's 73 years old, we are 19 remember, and he hit on me today. That's nasty." Cara's mouth dropped, no one knows why she liked older men, she just does. "Listen you," Cara said harshly but she was just kidding, "stay away from my man. I called dibs, remember!" I laughed and Cara smiled and pulled out or the parking lot, blowing a unseen kiss to Joey, who still had he back turned. "You're disgusting, Cara." I said to Cara, she quickly turned to me and gave me a wide smile. "But still love me." She said, I laughed and nodded, and we were off to school.
