CHAPTER 8: SMALL
"YO!" I yelled in the middle of the bowl.
White kids surrounding the bowl, all stared.
"You all want a cool one of a kind board? Ray's boards is having a sale! You can basically customize the board yourself, between gear colors, bolds, wheels, tape, everything! The sale ends on January 9th, so come before he sells out!" I yelled holding flyers in my hand.
"Who wants a new board?" I yelled and the white kids screamed.
"Come get a flyer everybody!" I yelled and kids flew from the edges yelling me.
After 10 minutes the flyers were gone, and I was out of the bowl.
"Great job Summer," Fuckshit said, as we loaded back into the truck, turning on Snoop Dog.
We drove back to Ray's and noticed kids coming in.
I went and sat down in the back, waiting for Ray to call me over.
"So you're working here now?" Fuckshit asked and I nodded.
"Guess you can't ditch us anymore huh," he said elbowing my ribs making me laugh.
"I'm sorry we never really talked about, like what happened," I mumbled and he shook his head.
"Don't worry about it. It's not a big deal, Summer. You shouldn't feel like it should happen again I guess, like if you don't feel the same. And there is nothing wrong with that I-" but I cut him off by pecking his cheek.
"I'm okay with it. I don't even know what the fuck is happening, and I need to be alone for a while I guess, but I really love hanging out with you," I said standing up and walking over to the counter.
"White kids have been coming in since you guys have came back! I don't know what the fuck you did, Summer, but you worked some fucking magic!" Ray exclaimed shaking me.
"Okay so how can I help out?" I asked and Ray shrugged.
"How bout' you take the orders and I'll set up the boards, Stevie volunteered to help, so he could get all the pieces then pass them to me," Ray said and I nodded.
"Aye Stevie come over here!" I yelled and Stevie ran over smiling.
"You wanna grab decks and wheels that I tell you to to help Ray out?" I asked and Stevie nodded, smiling ear to ear.
"Okay," I said as a customer walked in.
"Hey what's up," I said to the kid and his mom. The mom was wearing a pantsuit with pinstripes, and a pearl necklace.
"Hi, my son here would like a custom board, I heard there is some kind of sale?" She said and I nodded.
"All custom boards come with your choice of 3 free stickers and a letter engraved." I said pointing at the board Stevie bought from Ray that was on display.
"Okay that sounds perfect! My John would like a J engraved, and can he pick the wheels, or whatever?" She asked and I nodded, "wheels, trucks, deck etc."
"What color decks do you have??" The kid asked beyond excited.
It was 9:45, and the store was closed.
"Great job Summer! Look at you, little finneser!" Ray said messing up my hair.
Overall business was good there was really only a couple of guys that only made eye contact with my boobs.
Ray has made 11 out of the 18 birds that we needed to finish by tomorrow.
"You want some help with those other boards tomorrow?" I asked and Ray shrugged.
"I don't see why not, who were you thinking?" Ray asked and I smiled. Roman would be perfect for this.
"My brother could help," I offered and he nodded.
"Okay set," Ray said and I smiled.
"See you tomorrow," I said waving hopping over the counter and walking over to all the boys minus Stevie, who has to be home by 8:30.
"I gotta go, bye guys," I said giving hand shakes to all the boys, besides Fuckshit, who pulled me into a hug.
He kissed my forehead, and whispered into my ear, "see you."
I walked out, and I could hear all the boys going crazy inside.
"Hey Ro!" I yelled walking in. Ian was there, of course.
"What's up Cam?" Roman asked and I smiled sitting down on the smaller couch in our living room.
"You down to help a friend out tomorrow?" I asked and he rose an eyebrow.
"Is it people apart of your gang, because I don't fuck with that," Roman said and I smiled.
"We're building skate boards for the rich kids who are paying a couple hundred for them. We need to finish them by tomorrow, so you down?" I asked and Roman thought.
"Come on Roman! They aren't bad, they take care of me! Ray have me a job so I could help out around here and everything! Please Ro! Help me help them," I pouted giving him puppy dog eyes.
"Fine. But this is the only time-" I quickly cut him off by hugging him then running to the stairs.
"Thanks Ro!"
