Mariah - 4:27 p.m

"Have a good day Miss," I greeted off the customer. This is exactly my thirtieth day working here at Forever 21. I can honestly say that I love it here. My co-workers and I get along and money is definitely coming in. With all of the latest fashions here at reasonable prices, all girls come here literally everyday.

I've spotted a few girls from my school come in here also; mainly with their friends. It makes me feel kind of left out sometimes because I barely have any. The only people I talk to are Darrell (obviously), Taz, and DJ. I talk to Van, X, and Jay, but not enough to really call them friends.

Darrell: Wat yo fine ass doin?

I giggled to myself as I secretly started texting him back. This location has a STRICT "no cell phone" rule.

Me: Thinkin about yo fine ass....

D: Aye, no cussin when ur talking 2 daddy

Me: :) ur not my daddy

D: I will be soon.......

A seductive feeling formed in my stomach as fantasies emerged in my mind. We haven't done it, but I'm planning a little 'surprise' for him. With him working on his music and day job, it's pretty stressful. Plus, I feel like he's getting kind of bored sometimes when we're just making out.

Me: Well 2day u won't

D:Wat u mean?

Me: Haha im going to my first model shoot!

D:Wait wat?

Yep, you saw it right! Naomi wants all of her fresh, young models to appear in a photo shoot. She wants us to get used to being in front of the camera, plus we're participating in a model spread for H&M. I was so excited that I almost couldn't even contain it! All of the other girls though were doing that type of thing for years so they were calm and collected about it. 

Me: I'll have 2 call u

D: Or u can just tell me

Me: Cant. I get off at 430. 

"Or you can just tell me now,"

I looked up and saw him standing right there. Looking both ways to make sure no customers were coming, I ran over and gave him a hug.

"Why were you standing there the whole entire time?" I asked, happily.

"Eh, I was here to see you smile,"

"Wow," I responded, matter-of-factly, but still hugging him. Every time he does this, it just makes my day. Between music, school, and his job, I'm surprised he even comes and visits me.

"Now, tell me about your photo shoot," he pulled back and held my hands.

"I wanna tell you when I get off from work," I smiled. "Which is in two minutes."

"Well, come on," he whispered.

"Hey, I wanna get in all of my hours," 

"You will, but come on and tell me right quick,"

Soon I started to walk away to let one of my co-workers know I'm off, but obviously Darrell held me back.

"Okay, okay!" I gave in. "Naomi wants me and some of the new girls to do a photo shoot for a cover spread for H&M. We're gonna start today."
