Honestly, you had no idea how boring working at a music store could be. You liked music, that wasn’t the problem, it was that some days were hectic and rushed, which you preferred to the boring nothing burgers that was this day. All you were praying for was that the little weirdo who thought you were interested in him didn’t show up today. Aside from that, it was a pretty easy job for minimum wage, just check out customers and restock low inventory. There wasn’t really anyone in the store aside from two guys arguing if the Rolling Stones or the Beatles are better, so you just put on some cheesy 80’s slasher flick until something happens or they decide to actually buy something…so you just sit absent minded for a while…until the damn Yellowjackets stroll in

This peaked your interest, why were they here? Sure, it was hard to find someone who hated music, but this was not their place, you had never once seen them step foot in a store that didn’t cater to their tastes, let alone one that was good for only vinyl and cds and cheap music equipment. At the front of the pack was the queen bee herself, Jackie Taylor, then followed by Van Palmer and Taissa Turner, the secret couple of Wiskayok, then came Laura Lee and Lottie Matthews, and finally Shauna Shipman, who gave you an awkward smile and a small wave. you two had been put as partners for biology for the week. Her and Laura Lee were the only decent ones in that circle in your opinion (so was Misty but she wasn’t included most of the time if at all). Either way, it was none of your business so you just kept your eyes on the little tv

A few minutes go by before movement out of your eye and the sound of cd cases hitting the counter: No Doubt, Spice Girls, and Oasis, the the culprit being none other than Jackie Taylor, in some stupid black mini skirt and a floral tank top she got last week, that she was bragging about. She’s got a smug look on her face, like she’s anticipating your reaction to her selection. Laura and Lottie are looking at the folk collection, Van going on a rant to Tai in the rock section, and Shauna just casually browsing around through whatever catches her eye next. Jackie notices you’re not paying attention to her, so she snaps at you, grinning when you give her your attention again

“So like…you gonna ring me up?” she’s got that bitchy tone that’s demanding but would seem sweet to unaware teachers, she curls a strand of her honey brown hair, and shifts her feet a bit “Or are you gonna keep spacing out like a weirdo?”
