Perks of Being a Nobody [ON HOLD]

3.

CHARLIE POV

I ran home from school, I mean to Random Fandoms. The store basically is my home though, so, whatever. I didn't bother changing, but I ran into the back room to make it look like I hadn't died from a heart attack.

"You okay? You look a bit tired, there." My best friend, coworker, employee, and Assistant Manager Annie said. "Yep, I just ran a marathon, can't you tell?"

"It's only half a mile away, that's only a 15 minute walk" She said, smirking.

"Were you running from someone? Or running to someone?" I just glared at her, and noticed she was wearing makeup. Then I noticed the cute red button up blouse, black mid-thigh skirt, and black flats.

"Why are you so fancy? Are you meeting someone?" I laughed. Annie never, and I mean never, dresses like this, unless I force her to a party or something like that. "Ummmm..." She smiled.

"Oh my gods, that's awesome! Who is it?"

"Um..."

"Tell me"

"It's..."

"I swear to Hades, if you don't tell me, I will hang your underwear off the roof covering a sign saying 'This belongs to Annie Hayes, Come Get It!' with your number on it. And it will be huge because why wouldn't it be."

"Okay, okay, don't do that. It's Ben."

"Really? You've only loved him for, like ever! That's awesome!" Ben is amazing and funny, and only eight months older than Annie, who will turn 19 in a week.

"Talking about me, were you?" Ben chuckled in his British accent  as he stooped under our doorframe. He's really really tall. I think he's like 6 foot 1, 10 inches taller than me and 5 inches taller than Annie. And 5 feet taller than Barbie, including her big puffy hair.

"Of course." Annie smiled.

"Well, you two go and have fun, but I want her back before 1!" With that, they left me to take over my shift.

BRENT POV

I saw her run out of school, so I hung back a bit, saying to my friends I had to do something. they didn't say anything, but they looked at me weird.

I followed behind her, and no I'm not a stalker, I just forgot where the store was.

I saw her talking to a some girl, I'm guessing she was Charlie's friend. Ben, an old friend of mine, walked up behind me as I was about to walk in.

"Don't ruin their fun. I know tthey're talking about me" he said. "And I'm here to pick up Annie for our date" he added. That's her name. Cool. "Wait until we get out, then you can flirt with Charlie."

"I'm not gonna flirt." I huffed.

"Yeah, you are. It's in your nature."

"Just go."

"Bye Brent."

"Bye Benny-Wenny."

"Don't call me that."

"Kay Benny-Wenny"

"I'm gonna castrate you someday."

"Love you too. Now go get her."

"Bye. Oh, and here. You might want to know this." he handed me a paper with my next project on it. "See you when it's done."
