All is not as it seems: Can you keep a secret?

Chapter 2: Dinner

"Ok so I said I was going to ask this Xander who are you?" Peter asks after our drinks are ordered

"And don't tell us a friend of Maria's because we get that we want to know like how you met and why you are at naz that stuff" Aimee says before Xander can say anything

"Ok fine I'll tell you how we met and all that"

"No we will tell it" I say to him

"Ok Doll you want to help I guess that means the long version."

"you got it" I smirk at him "It started on August first I had a 11 to something shift that sunday...."

August 2nd.....

I don't want to get up but come on who does on a sunday morning when you closed at work the previous night and now you have to open well at least it's going to be slow, getting up I throw on my favorite dress it's a 40s style cobalt blue knee length dress, I pull on my comfortable skechers flats grab my purse and phone, before heading downstairs to have something quick to eat before my mom drives me to to work.

"Maria you ready to go?"

"Yeah mom coming"

I run outside and jump in the car the car ride is short tell her I love her then head into the store.

"Good morning Staica"

"Morning Maria, don't forget to grab a headset then you are in the fitting room when we open."

"OK I will"

I head to the back put my stuff down grab my name tag talk with some of the girls that are back there for a few before clocking in at 10:55 and head to the front to grab a headset and check when my brake is and who is covering it. Like I thought it would be it is really slow I go on break around 1 and getting out at 4 that isn't to bad. Right before I go on my break I noticed a boy walk in who looked about my age and he was dressed like he was from the 40s which happened to match me today.

"Hey Gretchen, see that boy over there" I ask my friend who covering my brake

"You mean the one who matches you, yeah I see him"

"Good keep an eye on him, I'll be back hopefully he doesn't come here until I'm back."

"Ok if he is I'll do something so you are here before he leaves"

"This is why I love you" I say running to the back hoping 15 minutes goes by fast.

It does go by quick and I'm back before I know it and I see from across the store that the guy is heading towards the fitting room with a bunch of cloths in his arms, let's just hope that he's not like every other boy who doesn't hang anything up, Gretchen stays with me in the fitting room because no one wants to go up on register and they already have 4 people up there and it's still kind of slow.

"Hello is there a men's side?" I hear as we talk.

"Yeah how many items?" I ask seeing who it is

"Well doll that's the problem, I'm getting new clothes for school and in general so I just kind of grabbed everything."

"Ok Sargent Barns why don't we count them then."

"The name is Alexander not James doll"

"Well the name is Maria not doll Xander." I say to him while counting "Oh and thanks for getting the reference."

"Why wouldn't I he's my favorite character and Xander?"

"Pietro is mine, and yes you don't like it?" I says "Here is your number you are going to let me see what you try on"
