uh, right. manager’s office. peter clears his throat, a hand coming up to scratch aimlessly at his chest.  just over there, but i can take it for you & hand it over when she’s in. personally, ❜ he starts, propping his elbows up on the counter & leaning on them with a hint of a smile pulling at the corners of his lips, i think it’d be really cool to get another employee in here. i mean, y’know how boring it is to work in a record store & no one to banter with ? not to mention the days when a new one’s released… sorry, i mean ‘cd’. isn’t that what the kids call ‘em nowadays ? i’m joking. i’m more of a mixtape kinda guy.

“   THAT’D  BE  GREAT .  THANKS ,  DUDE .   ”     He feels his jacket’s pockets for the folded form before handing it to the other guy .  The guy easily towers over Zack and he shouldn’t lie and say that he doesn’t feel intimidated .  But after hearing him talk without all the misunderstandings ,  he seems like an easy - going guy .  Working with him won’t be too bad .  Zack looks at his surroundings ,  soaking it in ,  searching for any records that might pique his mom’s interest .        We call ‘em  ‘CDs’  or usually we just go to iTunes .   ”
