My dad insisted he and my mother didn't hate me. I could say other wise. My mom never said much about my dad and when I tried to bring him up she would say some pretty harsh things about him. She always told me 'I didn't want you by your dad he has a bad past. Yet here i am with him all fucking summer. Sounds about right.

Its been a little over two weeks that ive been here and I officially start working at Hot Topic this wednesday.
ive spent my last two weeks in my room watching tv. i havent been on tumblr in forever. what are my 23 followers doing. i have no idea because i don't have any electronics.
my first paycheck im getting an IPhone. even if i cant get the 5 or the 5c im getting an IPhone one that i can afford.
****
When i get to work there is only one other employee there. Hes towers over everything in the store. he has his lip pierced like i do. hes in black skinnies and a nirvana shirt. his hair is in the perfect quiff.i walk over to the table where he is at.
"oh hi you must be Rosalita."
"i go by ross but yeah thats me"
"well ross, im luke, and we dont usually have a lot of people in here so that will make everything easier." i nod.
he shows me how to ring things up and shows me the back of the store where if someone asks for something in a different size I can check to see if we have it in the size they are looking for.
when we get back uo to the front desk he sits on the desk and pats the spot next to him.
"most days are like this, slow. Im okay with it since the pay is good for not doing much."
i nod. "you dont reallt talk do you?"
"i do usually."
"well whats your favorite thing to do in your free time?"
"im usually on my laptop and or phone but i got those taken away so now i just sit and watch tv, you?"
"i go hang with my friends at parties and get drunk and usually take someone home." He smiles. Why would he smile he just admitted he is into one night stands. What the fuck.
"Do you get drunk Ross?"
"I have in the past and gotten high."
His smile widens.
"Really you'd get along really well with me and my friends. Were having a party this weekend if you wanna come."
"I guess I don't have anything else to do."
"Okay Ill let you know more about it tomorrow. Oh and you can go and take a walk around the mall and get something to eat."
"Okay and okay" I get off the desk.
"Would you mind getting me a pretzel with cheese and a Pepsi from auntie Annie's"
"Oh sure." He pulls out his wallet and hands me a five. I walk out and right across from hot topic is a record store. He said I could walk around so I walk over to the record store. There is only about five people in the store. When I walk over to one of the bins that are filled with records a guy with blonde hair walks up I me. He is a little taller than me. His face is so innocent.
"Hello can I help you with anything today?" He smiles
"No I'm just looking" I smile back and time my head back to records.
After about 10 minutes of just looking I head out and head to Auntie Annie's. I get myself a Mountain Dew and a pepperoni pretzel with cheese and get Luke what he wanted. As I'm carrying the pretzels and drinks back to Hot Topic I have to be carful I'm holding two large drinks and pretzels. The last thing I want to do is drop them. As I'm walking past the record store the blonde guy I talked to is sitting on the bench that's right outside the door. When he sees me he gives me a small smile. I give one back then head right across into Hot Topic, where Luke is helping a costumer.
"Finally you're back I thought you got lost." He says when he sees me go behind the counter. He asks is that all then the girl hands him the money and he hands her the receipt and bag. "Have a good day"
"What took you so long?"
"I went into that record store over there" I point.
"You buy any good records?"
"No I was just looking."
"I talked to my friends and the party is Friday it's not gonna be huge just like 10 of my friends and any other people they invited and their girlfriends and their friends."
"Okay that should be fine."
We sit in silence for a little while we both finish eating.
"Have you ever kissed a girl?"
"What?"
"Have you ever kissed a girl?"
"No"
"Would you ever want to?"
"I never thought about it no."
"At these kind of parties you never know what to expect is all I go to say."
