The second day of the shop was almost as slow as the day before. Allan glanced at the clock, seeing that it was 12:30. He was starting to think that no one would come in, but he didn't lose hope. He was starting to fall asleep again, but the opening of the door woke him back up.
A girl with blondish hair and hazel eyes walked in. “Hey, do you have any chocolate?”
“Yeah, I got plenty. What do you want?”
“Get me some of those good-good Snickers.”
“You got it.”
As Allan got the Snickers for the female, she sat down at a chair and pulled out her phone, talking to someone on Messenger. After he got the Snickers, he laid them down on the counter. She stood up and collected them.
“Thanks. The name's Olivia, by the way.”
“Cool, I'm Allan.”
“Do you mind if I just chill here for a bit?”
“Nope. Go ahead.”
“Thanks!” She sat back down and looked around for a bit. “Nice place you got here.”
“Thanks.”
“No problem. So, how'd you come up with the name?”
“Well, I actually came up with it when I was about 5. I always thought that the name had a special charm to it ever since. Plus, penguins are my favorite kind of animal.”
“Huh. Neat.”
“Yeah, it does sound kind of dumb to say out loud, but it's fine.”
“I like it.”
“Really?”
“Yep. I can see what special charm you meant.” Olivia opened the wrapper to one of the Snickers bars and started to eat it. A car pulled up and honked it's horn. Olivia turned to the window. “Oh, it's my friends. I'll see you later, I guess.”
“See you later, then.”
The two waved goodbye to each other as she left, going into the car and driving off. Allan started to think that the two of them could be great friends.
Then again, she's way too cool for him. He's too much of a nerd.
