Change (punk h.s.)

Chapter 8

DEDICATION GOES TO @lousingyou FOR THE AMAZING COVER SHE MADE FOR THIS BOOK I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU OMFG

I'm creating these shop names myself (So they probably suck lol) because I don't know any of the stores in England so sorry about that, haha.  I've been in England ONCE so I don't know any stores there (except like Primark or Forever21). Sorry for my lack of knowledge.

Who would ever name a deparment store "Howard & Beatrice"? Well this girl right here I guess...

Soooo let's start then

"Time for a break!", Rosalie bursts out and grabs my hand as she drags me to the break room. Rosalie is my co-worker. She is supposed to be my "instructor" for this week. She's really nice and she's a bubbly person which makes it fun to work with her. She's only a few years older than me so it's easy to get along with her. There is also this boy named, well i don't know his first name but what I know, is that his last name is Jefford. We haven't talked but I've seen him looking at me few times. 

Rosalie opens the door to the room and we step inside "So... drum roll please", Rosalie says to the two boys sitting in the corner and they start 'drumming' their fists on the coffee table. Suddenly they stop, "welcome to the break room!", Rosalie dramatically says to me as I giggle.

"As you can see these boys here usually spend all their time here and not doing their work but we don't tell anyone because no-one likes a snitch, right?", she winks and I giggle again. "The one with the black hair is Zayn and the other one is Liam", Liam waves at me as Zayn just nods.

"Lads, this is Sydney, the new employee", Rosalie introduces us as I wave at the boys and say a quiet "Hi".

"Sydney?", Liam asks and I nod. "I should have known. You're just as beautiful as the city", he continues and I can feel the heat rising to my cheeks.

"Oh look at Payne, hitting on the new girl again", Zayn chuckles as Rosalie shakes her head while laughing. 

"Anyway," she starts and claps her hands togehter. "Let's eat then, shall we?", she asks and I nod. She squeals in excitement as she runs up to the boys. I decide to follow her as she sits next to Liam and so I sit on the spot next to Zayn.

We sat around the table for good 40 minutes and we ate, chatted and laughed with each other. Liam and Zayn were talking about some party their friend is going to have tonight. They asked if I wanted to come but I kindly declined and told them I'm not much of a party type of person. Who even goes to a party on Monday night?  

 When I finished eating my chicken salad I went to put the paper plate in the trash bin and I bumped into Jefford. I apologized and I heard him mumble an apology as well but he quickly walked away. Is he always this shy around people?

Now I'm filling the racks just like I thought I would do. Rosalie offered to help me, well she was actually kind of forced to do it because she is my "instructor" for the rest of the week.

"Hey Rosalie?"

"Rose! It's Rose how many times do I have to remind you?", she laughs and so do I.

"Sorry, Rose. I was just wondering about that Jefford-" I start but she quickly shushes me and covers my mouth with her hand.

"Don't go near him", she warned. I try to mumble a "Why?" and she sighs. "He killed someone way before I came to work here myself. I heard he skinned a new employee back then", she whispers and my eyes widen in fear.
