The Retail Store, part 2

That weekend, I was still replaying what had happened. It must've been some initiation joke. I also hadn't spoken to Claire since then. I mean she was also about to laugh at me.

I met up with her on Sunday. I needed explanations. So we met up for lunch.

Things were a little awkward at first but she broke the ice:

"you're really going to enjoy yourself working with us"

'I see you guys really do enjoy yourself, at the expense of others it seems' I snarkily responded.

She giggled, no way man. We've known each other for a while now and you know I'm not like that. It's just the expression on your face was funny.

Bosslady seems to have taken a liking to you. Also you were staring at her every chance you could.

'Wait what? When...'

"She's hot we all know that, and you're just playing to her hand. Pull yourself together"

When did this just become a pep talk?

"plus apparently she gives great head, who knows you might get the chance to find out"

My eyes could've popped out of their sockets

'How exactly would you know that?'

"Oh I have my sources, and look the tension in the air is gone"

"I really think you need this, yes the pay is a retail pay but look on the plus side. Be there tomorrow"

The day eventually ended. Yet my thoughts were still running. What was Claire referring to by me needing this? It's a job and she spoke as if it's like going on holiday.

Also since when was she such a team player? She'd always been a bit of a rebel yet at work she was one of the 3Cs (Candice, Chloe and Claire). Though there were only two tills they'd rotate on who is working there.

Then again if Charles could put on a shirt and skirt combo maybe they could be the 4Cs. That would be funny given how tall and mascular he is.

Snap I'm thinking about the staff members. Man it sucks that they only refer to me as 'Newbie' - oh this will really get to me.

Tomorrow I'll have to be more Stoic, a lot like Jay. Ben is cool and all but his energy will tire me eventually.

Oh man, I really need to get some sleep.
