 "Do you have any Justin Bieber stuff here?" a little girl asked me, smiling and leaning her arms on the register counter.

 I could tell this girl was pleading with me with her eyes to say yes on the Justin Bieber stuff.

 "In back next to the Monster High stuff," I told her.

 The girl cheered and raced to the back.

 "Hm, Justin Bieber," my co-worker, Kasandra, said, dreamily.

 I shook my head.

 "Girl, you're not over him!"

 "Hey, you're all into Channing Tatum!"

 I blushed.

 "Well, at least with me, I keep all my Channing Tatum movies in my movie area while you just let it out in the open!"

 Kasandra was sixteen years old, working at Claire's to raise money for her senior year at Central Park High.

 Apparently, she would sometimes steal her sister, Anabethani's, CDs of Justin Bieber and listen to it on her stereo. Sometimes, she even buys those teen magazines and scans for Justin Bieber posters and post them on her wall. 

 You could totally she was a Bie-liever fan.

 "So, have you seen your other man lately?"

 I let Kasandra in on the Arrow Man Guy thing.

 "No, if I don't see him today then I'm letting it go."

 "Wow. I mean, I agree with the whole save-you-then-ditch-you is wrong. You were giving the guy hints that you were into him and he doesn't give a flying fudge about your feelings?"

 I shook my head once more.

 "Well, I don't care. He was too busy trying to save the world, I guess."

 A mom and her daughter entered the store and started skimming at the jewelry.

 "Excuse me?" another little girl asked Kasandra.

 "Can you bring down this necklace for me?"

 Kasandra smiled.

 "I'll be right back."

 I huffed and immediately collapsed on the register counter.

 Even though I knew I was going to attempt to erase Arrow Man Guy from my mind, I couldn't get him out of it.

 Chris Daughtry's song, Outta My Head came on.

 I grumbled.

 Do they really need to be playing this song right now?

 Just then, a man walked in.

 He was wearing a green cape.

 I don't know but something suspicious about the guy made my hair stand still.

 He headed up to the counter.

 "Can I help you sir?" I asked him.

 The man raised his head at me.

 His face was metal.

 Expect for his eyes which were a deep blue-green.

 "Give me all your money," he hissed.

 Kasandra raced over to me.

 "Or what?" she demanded.

 "Or this."
