About an hour and a half of my shift passed and fortunately the amount of customers died down so we could just chill.
Diego: Wait so Trinity, right?
You: Mhm?
Diego: So Mattia huh?
You: What about him?
Diego: How do you know him?
You: He's my bo-
Austin: That is her MAN!
Diego: Wait fr?
Austin: Yes! Mattia went down on Trinity the other nightttt
You: AUSTIN!
Austin: I didn't lie...
A mother and her daughter came into the shop which made it easier to leave that conversation. I didn't even ask how Diego knew Mattia, he probably just overheard mine and Austin's coversation.
You: Is there anything I can help you with?
??: Yeah, we've been looking for some Jordan1's, do you have any in stock?
You: What colour are you looking for?
??: Black and White
You: And what size ma'am?
??: 5 please
You: I'll get them from the back and we'll try them on, okay?
I go to the back of the store, get the requested shoes for the lady and her daughter and head back to the front of the store to serve them again; letting them try the shoes on.
You: That will be $50.99
She handed me the money and left with shoes.
You: Diego, can I speak to you in the back?
Diego: Yeah sure
I walk to the back of the store with Diego following behind me, I didn't know how Austin would feel about me asking this so I just decided to not tell him.
Diego: Wassup?
You: Do you think Austin is cute?
Diego: Woah, you have an accent. Where you from?
You: The UK but you didn't answer my question.
Diego: Yeah I guess, I'm not like, gay or anything
You: Oka-
Diego: Why'd you ask?
You: I was just wondering.
That was a whole ass lie but I couldn't just straight up tell him that Austin liked him because... I just couldn't. He walked back to the front of the store leaving me in the back on my own. I feel this urge to look into Diego's box; a few minutes ago he came into the shop from the back smelling EXACTLY the same as the weed Miedo gave Mattia and I. I was probably overreacting but something about him seemed off. I listen closely to check if anyone was coming towards me as I slowly reach into his box and feel around for anything 'suspicious', the box was pretty high so I had to stand on my tiptoes just to reach it. I felt a empty bag which coated my fingers with potent smelling cannabis but that wasn't exactly what I was looking for. The jingle of the door bell rang, indicating a new customer had come in, I quickly put the box back where I found it and rushed to the front of the store.

FanficI was Mattia's best friend for over a year, the only difference was that I lived in South London; home to drugs, gangs and stabbings. I decided to run away from London to New Jersey with my best friend who was coincidentally best friends with Alejan...
