-Chapter One-
"Come on, Crystal. You're so slow" Kelly whined, stomping back towards me as she wrapped her hands around my wrist and started to forcibly drag me forward. I dug the heels of my shoes into the ground, groaning as they slid roughly across the concrete. It always amused me how one minute Kelly was too lazy to throw a dodge ball and the next she could drag another human being across the sidewalk with little trouble. "I really want to check out that new place that just recently opened up a few weeks ago" she said, continued to drag me behind her.
"But I don't want to" I whined as I leaned my head backwards so that I was looking up towards the sky. I hated going shopping, I hated it even more when it involved dresses and jewelry. I released another loud groan as my friend pushed open one of the glass doors that consisted of the entrance, the smell of perfume immediately assaulting my senses. I let my head roll to the side and ended up making eye contact with the young woman behind the front counter. One of her eyebrows were raised as she looked at Kelly and I in slight amusement before looking back down at a magazine she had out on the counter.
"Oh, those look nice" Kelly suddenly said, picking up speed now that my feet slid more easily across the waxed floors of the store. The minute she came to a sudden halt, my body lunged forward and caused me to throw my arms out to save myself from face planting the ground. Kelly didn't seem to take notice or didn't care enough to say anything as she started to shuffle through the rack of dresses. The word 'sale' plastered at the top of the rack, causing me to raise an eyebrow. I moved around, barely looking at anything as I let my eyes just scan the interior of the building.
It used to be an old warehouse and very spacious, now it was filled to the brim with women's clothing, makeup, jewelry, and many other items. "Crystal" I blinked my eyes and looked towards my friend who was now holding up two dresses. To me it looked as if she was holding them up in front of herself and silently asking for my opinion on which looked better on her.
"What?" I asked, deciding to play dumb in hopes she would get the hint and decide herself. I didn't want to be here in the first place and I certainly wasn't going to help her on this small shopping spree of hers.
"Aw, come on. Just tell me which one you think is the best, pink or blue?" she asked, her lower lip jutting out as she pouted. She continued to hold the two dresses up, moving them back and forth while closing one eye in thought. For a minute, it looked as if she was trying to imagine what I would…look like…in one…of…them.
"No" I suddenly said, my eyebrows furrowing as I shook my head. Letting strands of my hair fly around. She didn't respond as she lowered the dresses and moved to drape them over the same arm. Neither of us blinked as we stared down one another, getting a few curious looks from strangers that were walking by. The minute she lunged forward I took a step back, only to end up tripping over my own two feet which caused me to lose balance.
My heart skipped a beat as I quickly tried to grab hold of one of the racks closest to me, instead my back made rough contact with the one behind me. Pain shot through me while the rack itself tipped over and knocked into another rack. Kelly watched on in horror as a domino effect took place as the racks that were placed behind me were knocked into one another. All the dresses on them ripping at the sudden force that tugged on their fabric before the final rack was struck and tipped over onto a glass table that held expensive jewelry inside. I flinched as I heard glass shattering, shakily I looked behind me and paled at the mess that had been created.
"Fuck" I breathed out as I scrambled to stand and face my mess. I looked around at the nearby customers that stood there gawking at the damage. As if they couldn't believe the mess that had been created themselves. Taking a hesitant step back, I continued to slowly back away from the mess before my back had contacted something that stopped me in my tracks. "Kelly?" I lowly whimpered in hopes that it was indeed just my friend standing there in a horror-stricken daze and not any sign of authority.
As I turned my head back to look, my face had paled even more as I quickly spun around to face the blonde-haired woman behind me. She was dressed in a professional outfit, her perfectly manicured hands resting on her hips as her lips were drawn back into a tight line. She looked to be in her late twenties, young for someone like her to be the owner of this store. At least that's what I was guessing at. "Tell me young ma'am, exactly what is your name?" she asked, grinding her teeth.
Her perfectly painted lips now drawing back into a sneer showing a row of pearly whites. I shrunk back from her aggressive aura. Giving a nervous chuckle, I wondered how she could have guessed that I had made the mess. "Um, Crystal Rivers" I mumbled, wishing to curl up into a ball and just die as her glare harden.
"Well, Ms. Rivers, I'll cut you a deal" the woman suddenly said, her attitude changing as she straightened her posture and crossed her arms. I blinked my eyes, confused at this sudden change before swallowing thickly.
"W-what kind of deal?"
"I assume that you don't have the money to pay me in full for the damage that you had caused to my store" she said, as if stating a fact that I knew was true. Nodding my head, I looked back at the mess one last time before facing the woman once again. "As I suspected, well seeing how we're quite low on staff members, my offer to you is that you work here to help pay off the mess" the blonde said, giving a strain smile as she waited for me to respond. I stayed quiet, my eyes searching around the area as I desperately looked for my friend before concluding that she had already taken her leave. If it wasn't for the woman that was staring me down, I probably would have shouted as many colorful words as I could in hopes of Kelly hearing me. Wherever she might be.
"Or do I have to get security involved" the minute I heard her say that, I snapped my attention towards her and shook my head.
"N-no ma'am! That's quite alright, I don't mind taking the job!" I quickly exclaimed, watching how the blonde smiled at my reaction. As if she enjoyed watching me suffer.
"Great, now come along, we have lots of paper work to fill out. I don't suppose you'd want your parents finding out about this incident either, am I correct?" she asked, causing me to shiver at the tone of her voice as if she knew just the right things to say to make me wrap myself around her finger. Swallowing thickly, I shook my head, growing more and more nervous by the second as she nodded her head and motioned for me to follow after her. By this time the other customers had long since gone back to what they were originally doing before being side tracked. With quick steps, I followed behind the woman as she walked further towards the back of the store.
-Later-
"There you go, you officially start tomorrow after school and on weekends you start work at around ten in the morning" the woman said, straightening out the papers on her desk while handing me a bag with my uniform inside. "You may go now" she said, waving her hand in a motion that told me to leave.
"Um, can I at least know the name of my new boss?" I asked, wondering why she hadn't told me yet. I watched as she stopped all movements and her face became flushed with embarrassment at having forgot.
"It's Elizabeth Taylor, now go on, shoo!" she snapped, I jumped not needing to be told twice as I turned around and left the office.
-Later-
I gave a quick hello to my mother as I entered my house. Giving a small update that I had gotten a job, not going into too much detail as to why before heading upstairs. My eyes were focused on my phone as I entered my room and plopped down on my bed. I went to my contacts and called Kelly, listening to the phone ring before narrowing my eyes as she picked up. "Hello" she said, her words muffled as if she had something in her mouth.
"Hey" I grinded out. I could audibly hear her swallow as soon as she heard my voice.
"Oh, hey, Crystal. How are you?" she asked, her voice raising a bit in pitch near the end.
"Oh you know, just great. Especially after being left all alone to handle a mess all by myself!" I snapped, already imagining Kelly moving the phone away from her ear. "Now I have a job at that stupid place thanks to you" I huffed out as I glared up at my ceiling.
"Well I mean you always said you wanted a job, so that's a plus. Anyways I must go, see you tomorrow, bye" Kelly said.
"Wait don't…hang up…" I trailed off as I heard the dial tone respond back to me. Groaning in frustration I threw my phone somewhere in my room, as I turned onto my side and curled up. Ready for sleep to take over and help me forget about today.
