"We can't be out of napkins, we just got a shipment in!" Shouted Sadie towards the back of the shop, the small blonde was currently restocking the various beverage machines that stood at the front of the sore all the while as I stood there in the doorway unnoticed...again.
"Hello?" I called out not knowing if this was a good time, Sadie had looked back to the doorway and noticed me, this had surprised her which led to her fumbling with the handful of condiments that she had held in her hands, but luckily enough none had met the floor.
"Oh! Hey Matthew sorry for the mess we're just restocking the store, come on in." Sadie said with a smile, I then took several steps into the donut shop and began looking around to notice that everything, save for the coffee station, was well stocked.
"Need any help?" I had offered but this was quickly replied with a simple 'not really' from Sadie as she quickly began to finish what she had started. After quickly finishing her up her task a voice called out from the back of the small store.
"Sadie, I'm tired of looking for those dumb napkins can't we just close up earl-" From around the corner came a rather lanky teenage boy, his curly orange tuft hair along with his violet coloured uniform fitting its wearer its half eaten donut designed displayed proudly on the front, this though was apparently wore over a long sleeved cream coloured shirt; he wore a black pair of jeans with a tear at the knees, I couldn't exactly tell if wether this was done on purpose for styling or was done by accident, with his very casual appearance however there was one very noticeable feature about this young boy, which were his opened earlobes.
Standing there looking at me confused, he was apparently unable to finish his original question as he was caught off guard from my sudden appearance, this however was switch to another more appropriate question.
"Uh Sadie, do you know this guy?" He pointed at me which had left me feeling a little uncomfortable as I began to scratch the back of my neck by reflex, luckily enough though Sadie had picked up on this and immediately began to introduce us both to each other.
"Yeah! Lars this is Matthew, he just moved in recently." Lars, after hearing this, had just given me a questioning look but just had quickly looked over to Sadie as she continued on with the the introductions by looking towards me with a soft smile.
"And Matthew this is Lars, my 'coworker'."Sadie's emphasis on coworker had me quite confused, not knowing the full context of this however I couldn't make any sort of assumptions, but from the eye rolling Lars had done I knew this wasn't anything serious.
"It's nice to meet you." I greeted whole heartedly, all the while extending my hand to ready for a good shake, this was however met with nothing but a uneasy feeling from both him and I.
"Yeah..." He groaned out seemingly evading my hand shake, he instead looked over to Sadie with a question in mind.
"Sadie, I couldn't find those napkins so I'm just gonna head out early." From this Sadie could only look towards Lars with slight annoyance.
"What? Lars, we still have half an hour before close up." She was visibly annoyed and began to stare at him and was just about to line up a good talking to, but before she could have another word in the matter Lars had spoke up.
"There's practically nothing, I know you got it P2." At this Sadie's attitude had turned a complete 180, a feint blush had burned through her cheeks and the frustration that had just been boiling had dissipated.
"I-I guess it alright, there's not much left to do." From hearing this Lars had happily began to make his way pass the doorway, but not before thanking Sadie for her apparent sacrifice.
The lanky boy had shot out the front door freely, off to do whatever he pleased, he had even forgotten to take off his uniform before leaving. Looking around i could see that Sadie had a sullen look formed upon her face, this left me feeling like I should do something to help, but as I was about to offer my own help Sadie had let out a heavy sigh.
"(Sigh) its ok, I'm ok." She looked over to me and just gave out a half smile.
"If it's alright with you I really should finish up before closing."
"S-sure, it's no problem." This was obviously my cue to leave, and seeing it I began to make my way out but not before turning around, looking over to Sadie I bowed my head on reflex.
"Thanks." With this I looked lifted my head and saw a genuine smile take place of her previous half one.
"No prob."
