The Book Girl
As Sam walked into Barnes and noble he could smell the scent of new books and hear the sound of high school students cramming for their next test. He noticed he had some time before his shift was supposed to start so he walked over to his friend Max who worked at the Starbucks in the store. He ordered a coffee and a cake pop and talked to max for about fifteen minutes and then started his shift.
This was Sam first job he ever had and he enjoyed it for the most part except for the occasional rude customer or getting a shift with an annoying employee. Today was a slow day at the store except for one girl who bought the whole harry potter collection but other than her no one came in.
Sam figured that no one was going to by books that day so he picked up his favorite book and started to read.
A voice in front of him said, “oh love that book” and plopped the same book down on the counter in front of him. He looked up you see a very pretty girl who was going to buy the same book he was reading, The Book Thief.
She said “I love this book I already have like five copies but not any with this cover” she said smiling.
Sam just looked at her and said nothing until rick the guy on the cash register said to stop drooling over her and let her pay for her book. My cheeks must have turned pink because she started to laugh. I let her pay for her books and said to have a nice day but right when I thought she had left I saw her walk over to the Starbucks area of the store, probably to eat and and read her new book.
When it was my break I went to talk to Max about the girl and of course as loud as he could he yelled and pointed at her and said “you mean her”. She must have heard because she turned around and looked confused. So after ten annoying minutes of Max annoying me I walked over to her and asked if I could sit down she nodded and I sat down next to her.
She asked me “what’s it like working at such an amazing place”
I told her it was great on some days and not so great on others. We talked for about an half hour linger even though it only felt like five minutes, when she got up to leave I told her that she should get a job here she looked surprised and said “maybe I will” I walked her out of the store and said it was nice to have met her she said the same and before getting in the car gave me a napkin and drove off when I opened the napkin I noticed there was writing on it I read it and noticed it was her phone number.
I went to bed very happy that night knowing I had just found the perfect girl.
The End
