[Now]

All the prices behind the desk were as correct as they should be, my shift is over in a few hours, what else does my boss have for me today, I practically rolled my eyes to the back of my brain at that thought

Mr alvez is quite a good boss though, he is very respectful towards the employees, at least he's not an asshole.

"Aye sweep the floors for me would ya?" "Can't say no to you" i laughed In return

"alright I gotta head home for the night" he added and left

Seeing as there wasn't really anything entertaining to do, I went and grabbed myself some peach rings and scanned them, normally Mr alvez doesn't mind me eating the dollar candy bags but I didn't really mind paying it's just a dollar.

I started listening to see what the radio was playing, it was kinda faint so I turned it up a little. I made a strange expression before realizing what song was playing, it a really good song, I actually often listened to. Though I don't remember the name.

I grabbed the broom and swept while quietly singing along since nobody was in the store.

"Ding" I said as I heard the door open

I ran to the clerks desk and waited for the customer patiently, still humming along

He reached his hand up to set some sort of drink on the counter while hunching to get his wallet out of his pocket but dropped it, before it could hit the floor I caught it, "that'll be $2.06" I smiled "sorry" he looked up and smiled

No shitting way is that shawn mendes

My face obviously went entirely still, there's a celebrity right in front of my face what else am I supposed to do?? He must of noticed my expression and smiled lightly "a fan?" What? How do i answer that? "Yes or I mean, no wait um" he snickered, "I like your music" i finally blurt out.

He smiled with a witty reply "thank you very much, I'm glad you like it" I nodded "of course"

"I have a quick question" I looked around and stopped when i seen him, "question away" I waved my hands in the air

"What's your favorite color?"

"pink? I don't know to be honest" I slid my orange hair behind my ears and smiled how random, I thought to myself.

"I like the color red" I nodded, I never noticed how cute he was, especially for a celebrity who looks like he could get any girl he ever wanted, hmph. Whatever I'm just being polite he's not getting me that easy, I laughed to myself

"What's so funny?" I mentally slapped myself, you idiot. "oh uh I thought of a joke my friend made a few days ago" I reassured hoping he'd buy it, he did. I cleared my throat continuing what I was saying before "Anyway, That's nice, why the random question though?"

"I don't know, I like talking to you"

I smiled and slightly bit down on my pale lips "I like talking to you too."

"Well, I think I'll call it a night. I need to close the store anyway"

He nodded understanding I had to go, "here text me when you can" handing me a piece of paper with his number and a little derpy heart next to it, wait what.

I stopped him in his tracks "Not that I'm complaining, but aren't you afraid I'll be some crazy stalker or something and leak your number??"

He leaned over the counter "you wouldn't do that would you?" I immediately shook my head. I understood and let him leave not sure what just even happened, He smiled as he walked out and waved, I waved back and called my friend to come get me. What in the fuck just happened

---

"Who was that?, I didn't get a good look" he replied in a cooing voice, I simply laughed "I dunno" "come on Emma be serious"

"I am" I told him laughing "are you serious?" I smirked and quickly changed the subject "oh could you come get me early tomorrow?" He nodded.

"Are you excited by the way?" "For what?" I simply smiled "well you want me to get you early, I assume we must be doing something"

He cheekily looked back at me "Oh I wanted to go out for some pizza" I smiled

me and noah have been friends since we were four years old, and now we're nineteen.

Me and Noah are like twins. We always know when something is up with each other and he's like a big brother to me.

We actually met in the park and he threw sand at me, and i threw a rock at him, when we finally started talking to each other my mom and his mom on every Thursday would go out and get to know each other and me and him would play at my house while my dad watched us.

we've never ever got in a actual fight, believe it or not.

We ended the car ride on weird conversations and embarrassingly dancing to music

"Okay get out of my car" I jumped out and patted my pants to wipe the dust from today off "I will" I scoffed and walked toward my house "See you tomorrow" I yelled back as he was driving away "see ya!" Putting my hands around my mouth making my voice louder.

I wonder if he'll come back tomorrow
