Crazy Ex || Calum Hood

001

I walked outside holding a bag of books from Barnes & Nobles. I slid my red Fjallraven Kanken book bag off my shoulders, unzipped it, and placed them right inside. I then threw the bag right back on my shoulders once I zipped it back up. I was on my way to the new record store that just opened right by Barnes & Noble! I just recently got a record player and stupidly don't own any records.

I almost made it to the door when I saw Hot Topic right next door to the left..

"What the hell. I didn't know there was a Hot Topic by here..."

I stood there looking back and forth deciding where to go. I shook my head and grabbed the door handle to the new record store. I stopped and the looked over,

"Oh what the hell!"

I ran over and into Hot Topic I was.  The door shut behind me and the cool air brushed across my face and the sweet sound of rock music flooded my ears. I giant smile grew across my face and I then went exploring through all the clothing and items they sold. I had found a Hedwig book bag that I thought was really cute. I was more like a stuffed animal that you could carry on your back but it was too cute! Harry Potter is one of my favorite movies.

I was strolling around nodding my head and doing a little dance with my feet looking at the shirts and hoodies. I was looking at a Supernatural shirt when all of a sudden Talk Fast by 5 Seconds of Summer came on!

"AGH!!"

I jumped up and down and then froze to look around and make sure no one saw me. Thankfully, no one was really around. I then started dancing around singing to the music.

"Talk fast, romance. Won't last, I'm okay with that. Burn, crash, romance. I'll take what I can get from you."

I was shuffling through the store, dancing, when something caught my eye. I stopped dancing and walked over to the rack to look at the hoodie hanging from it. It read: Babylon. The word was placed over itself three times and was in a neon red color so it stood out on the black fabric.

"Oh I have to get this."

I grabbed it from the rack with the Hedwig bag in my other hand and walked over to the register.

"Hi. How are you doing today?"

The lady scanned my items and placed it in a black bag.

"I am doing great thank you! How are you holding up in here with such little customers today?"

The lady laughed and she scanned my card and handed it back placing the receipt in the bag and handing it over to me,

"It's going okay haha. Well have a nice day!"

"You too!"

I walked out the store and started heading my way over to the new record store. Finally. I can get records. All of a sudden my phone started ringing in my back pocket. Are you KIDDING me?!

I pulled out my phone to see who was calling: Roomie Cas. Cas is my roommate. We attend Arizona State University together. We became best friends real quick once I stepped into the room and saw her unpacking her belongings. We have a YouTube channel together where we just sing and play the guitar.

Oh great. What happened now?

I stopped walking standing right in front of the record store and answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"KAMMIE!!"

My phone almost slipped out of my hand with the sudden outburst from Cas.
