Trust You [TRUE STORY]

Chapter 20

Chapter 20: A never forget

AISHA'S ADVICE SHOULDN'T EVEN BE CONSIDERED ADVICE. I don't even know what she calls 'advice' to be honest. Her way of expressing her help isn't really doing anything positive in the situation. She has a thing for making things worse you know? That's just Aisha. So when I heard what she had to say, don't blame me for being surprised.

" Yassef has to know," she kept going on and on about how I had to tell him, "I mean don't you think he would want to know about what this Estaban guy is up to?"

"Yassef takes me as a friend" I said, "Its not like he'll care about the people who talk to me like that."

And it was true. We all know Yassef isn't the jealous type anyway. Not that I'm trying to making him jealous or anything, but I'm Just saying. If I were to tell him about what Estaban had told me yesterday, it really wouldn't make a difference if I didn't.

" It wouldn't change anything," I further explained, "If I told him, he won't care. He'll act like I never told him"

"You don't know that yet," she continued to pressure me, "You'll never know unless you do it"

It's actually something Aisha always says. She says that same sentence as if it became her own, "I don't want to tell him because he reacted all stupidly when I said his friend wasn't a good person"

"Do it." Was the last thing she said before she left.

I didn't want to go to work. But I had to.

This morning I convinced myself to leave with 'just go for the money' since the money is all I really need from this job. I wasn't working long today but just enough to earn a reasonable amount of money. And just as I entered the store, my conscious said 'keep your head low' but shaytaan just knows exactly how to ruin my plans.

So as I raised my head up, he was there.

But I looked right back down before he saw me himself. He was talking to this woman, probably advertising some devices to her. He held a Bluetooth speaker in one hand and these headphones in another. Before he saw me, I ran to my station and put my tag on.

Then started working.

A young girl with her mother was searching around the store in the MP3 aisles and mini iPods etc. The girl looks confused on what color she wanted. And her mother looked like she wasn't very fond of the electronic envirement. So I decided to step in and Ask.

I smiled geniuinly, "Are you guys okay, need any help?" Just a like a good employee would say. The mother smiled back as she replied almost instantly.

"My daughter wants an iPod touch," she said but then frowned, "I don't know what it looks like but she does. She can't find any over here, can you escort us?"

I remember being a kid and begging my mother for an iPod touch. It was like the biggest thing in the world to have one of those things. And on top of That, you'd be considered the richest person in school if you had an iPod touch 4. Noe that stuff is overated and you'll barely see a person with one of them. And if you Do, your considered a person who can't afford a real electronic. But in reality, I would give props to that person. Mostly because they aren't electronic addicts like me and instead they're just people who don't waste their time.

I smiled like the kindest person I am. What can I say, I have a thing for kids "Sure. Right this way," and so I led them. I led them to where all the iPods stayed. It was like an entire shelf fill of nothing but iPods, screens monitors and chargers. All for kids to have some type of game station you know? I found it useful sometimes.
