Chapter 2
I arrive at the parking lot for my job and look for a spot, which makes me drive all the way down the parking lot. Yes! One more spot left. Quickly I steer my car into the only spot available and park my car. Quickly I turn off my car and open the door. I see that it is quite tight and hold the door, so that it does not hit the other car. Unfortunately, a strong gust of wind blows the door out of my hand and still my door bangs against the other car door on the porter's side. I curse myself inwardly and quickly get out, then close the door. Quickly I look around me hoping that the person of this car next to me is not around. I get lucky and quickly lock my car using the car key. Then I quickly turn around and start running to work.
As soon as I get to the front door of the store I just see June step inside. Quickly I follow her and immediately notice that she doesn't notice me. Gently I chuckle and quickly walk with her towards the back.
'Aah! Rox, don't scare me like that girl!" suddenly shouts June. I chuckle softly at her, but soon look serious again.
'Sorry, I won't do it again next time,' I apologize.
'You always say that!" she says indignantly.
'No way,' I tease, lying. She shakes her head and puts her bag in her locker. I put my keys in my own locker and then lock it. I take my earpiece and put it in my ear. After this, I walk into the store and walk through the aisles to see what I can replenish.
'Rox, will you grab the magazines?" I hear June ask through my earpiece.
'Yes, I will!" I almost shout through my earpiece.
After a while when I've completed the entire path I see the first few people already walking in.
'Rox, can you come over to the register for a minute?" I hear Djayden ask through my earpiece.
'Yes, I'll be right there,' I answer his question. Now I just hope he's in a better mood than last time. Last time he was in a bad mood because, according to him, I was fumbling at the checkout counter.
I arrive at the checkout and see Djayden already standing there. His eyes are cheerful and I breathe a sigh of relief. Quickly I walk up to him and he sees me walking up.
"Hey!" he greets me cheerfully.
'Hey!" I greet him back and stand next to him.
'What is it?" I ask him.
'There's nothing, I just wanted to see you,' Djayden laughs and I sigh.
'Seriously? Are you serious, did I walk all the way here for this?" I whine.
'Yes, but you can go back again. Go back to filling boxes," he laughs and I roll my eyes. I quickly glance at the time on the cash register. It's already 06:02, which is pretty early for the people who are already walking in the store. Most people always don't come in until 10:00. I walk away from the cash register and into an aisle, where I see the people standing. For a moment I try to listen if they can't find something, but they speak English. Well and I can't speak English very well! Let me try it, I'll find out if they understand me.
Hello, can I help you with something?" I ask in a still correct sentence.
'Yes, we are looking for formula 1 booklets,' says one of the two men.
'Would you follow me? Then I will lead you to the right side,' I say and they both nod.
I walk ahead of them and walk to the aisle, where I had just replenished all the magazines. Meanwhile, I check through the corner of my eye to see if they are still following me which they just are. "They look familiar!" shoots through my head. Then I walk down the aisle and immediately I hear crackling through my earpiece. I sigh and stop walking as I stand in front of the formula one books. "Will you stop that crackling!" I think immediately.
'Thank you, ma'am,' they thank me in chorus.
'No problem! It's my job," I smile at them and then walk away from them.
I walk to the back and look to see who is messing around with the earpieces. "A yes, very nice! Ferry is here. That explains a lot" I sigh desperately at the sight of Ferry.
Fer, don't do that! I hear continuous crackling, what are you doing man?" I immediately fall with the house. He's obviously startled by me and stops immediately, so the creaking stops as well. Better come and help out in the store, instead of messing around with the system here.
So, did you sleep badly or something? Grumpy!" I hear him say stubbornly.
'Shut up and go do something useful you can help us with! And I'm not cranky,' I burst out at him. I'm really sick and tired of him!
I walk back to the store and walk around the store to see if I can replenish any more things. Unfortunately, everything is already replenished, but I do run into June.
'Hey June, can I help you with anything?" I ask my best friend, who runs this store.
'Hey Rox! Ummm... Yeah, would you take these papers to the very back register?" she asks me.
'Of course! At least I'll have a run,' I chuckle and she rolls her eyes. She pushes the papers she's holding into my hands and grabs a broom that's standing next to her.
'You're a topper!" she thanks me.
'Hey, you know that huh!' I laugh and walk towards the very back aisle, where I see the men still standing.
'Hey Rox, where did you leave the broom!" someone yells through his earpiece. I sigh.
'That's what June has,' I say gruffly.
'Why so gruff? What's wrong with you every time!" I now hear Djayden's voice quite clearly.
Arg! Stop asking questions and just get on with it. Then do something else,' I say through my earpiece, which makes me pique. That's Djayden again!
'Yes but, I don't know anything to do! Do you know something?" asks Djayden and I sigh loudly.
Bonk!
'Ouch, why are you standing in the middle of the aisle?" I ask and look up.
I look up and my eyes immediately get big. Oh my goodness, but he's Lando Norris! My biggest hero from Formula 1 and I look up at the other boy. He's just here with Max Verstappen!
