"Skylar! Can you go pick up the new deliveries before 3?" Isaac yelled across the store. It's been 2 weeks since Michael was employed, yet I was still doing most of the work around here.
"I did it last week, and the week before. I thought a new employee would mean I would get to spend more time at the store instead of doing pickups." 
"Why do you want to stay here anyway?" He grimaced. "It's old and dusty, kinda like my mom. You into that stuff?"
"Ew, Isaac, no! I just think it's kind of cool...you know like an antique. It has character and a story. It has something that can't be felt through a screen."
Isaac went quiet for a moment.
"Wow...that's really gay." He wheezed. "This isn't a John Green book, kid." He caught his breath and grabbed the keys off the hook near the front desk.
"This place will be knocked down and replaced with a Whole Foods in a year or two. It's the circle of life." He tossed the keys to me.
"Oh by the way, you'll be taking Michael with you. Since you wanna stop doing pickups I guess Michael should get a demo." He sounded a little pissed, so I figured I would just shut up and go out to my car. I climbed into my Jeep and turned on the heat. For a good 4 minutes I didn't realize Michael was looking through the passenger side window.
"JESUS CHRIST!" You yelled. You rolled down the window.
"You could've just knocked on the window instead of staring at me like a creep!"
"Sorry, I meant it to be more of a compliment. Isaac told me to find you then he was singing the circle of life I don't really like musicals—"
"Just get in the car."
"Ok." He responded quickly.
