"You want what color hair dye?" Casey asked the little
thirteen that stood before her skeptically.
"Green." She smiled and Casey reached up on the shelf
on the wall behind the counter. She grabbed the hair dye and
handed it to the girl who took it from her happily.
"That'll be $10.54" She told the girl's older sister,
who was buying the hair dye. The girl handed her the money and
Casey got the change.
"Here's your change."
"Thanks. By the way, I love your hair." The sister said
and Casey smiled happily.
"Thanks." The two girls left and Casey sighed. It was
her first day of work, and she wasn't really that bored. The
store actually was pretty popular so right when she would try to
sit down, another person would come up the cash register.
"Hello, um miss, can you tell me where the Eminem shirts
are?" She smiled at the guy in front of her and pointed to
the shirts.
"Thanks." He nodded and walked over towards the shirts.
"Hey Case, what's up?" She looked up and saw Aj
standing in front of her. He handed her a spiked collar and a
pair of sunglasses. "Can you get me the blue hair dye
also?" She nodded and grabbed the tube of hair dye.
"Hey Aj. What are you doing here?"
"Eh, not much. Just walking around."
"Oh. Fun. Giving up on the red?" She raised an eyebrow
in question and he laughed.
"Yeah, it's old. I need a new color."
"But we won't match anymore."
"Oh well." The both laughed.
"That's 35 dollars and 67 cents." He handed her the
money and she put his stuff in the bag. "By the way Aj,
thanks for defending me yesterday. Jane was pissing me off."
He laughed
"Don't worry about it. I just had to say what I was
thinking." He grabbed the bag, and his change. "So,
what are you doing tonight?"
"Um, I'm not sure. Probably going to sit my ass in my flower
room. And if I don't do that, I'll drive around so I can actually
smoke."
"Oh. Wanna go to a club with me tonight?" She thought
about it for a second and smiled.
"Sure. What time?"
"I'll be there about 9:00 or so. Wow, I think that's the
first time I've seen you smile. You actually have a sexy smile,
you should do it more often."
"Okay, see you then."
"Oh and by the way, wear something sexy." He winked at
her before walking out of the store, she just laughed and shook
her head.
