Beauty and the Beast
Ch 12: Record Shop
Anna's POV:
Its been one week since the concert and I had somehow avoided Zack in class. How? I don't know honestly. But the only thing I keep thinking of is our kiss. It was different from the last time he kissed me. He was a total ass, he was drunk, and it was forced. While this time, it was filled with emotion and truth. And I felt something that I don't feel with Jack. Jack. He still doesn't know. And it killed me every second. But I didn't know how to tell him. He hates Zack.
I was laying on my bed reading, my stereo playing at a sound level of 7. I hear my phone vibrate on my desk, I either got a text or email. I sigh, get up, and walk over to my desk. If its a email, probablly just another email from YouTube or other sites.
It was a email, course. I go to my Yahoo app to see what the email was and I almost passed out when I saw it. My favorite record store, MSL, also knows as 'Music Saves Lives', is hiring me. I been trying for years to get a job there, and I finally am.
I put my phone down and run out of my room and to Rian's. "RIAN!!!" I open his door, "HOLY SHIT ANNA!" He was just in his boxers. But I didn't care. I tackle him to the floor in a hug and kept screaming. "ANNA WHAT IS IT!" "MSL HIRED ME!!!"
It takes him a while to get me off him and laughs. I was smiling so big that my face was hurting. He smiles back, "I' happy for you Anna. Really, I am. But can you please get out so I can get dressed?"
I laugh and walk out, "sorry Ri!" "What ever!," he laughs and closes the door behind me. I run back to my room to call Jack.

It was my first day of work, and it took me a long time to pick out the right outfit. I knew they dressed casual there, but everyone still looked stylish. I finally pick out my outfit and get dressed.

I go downstairs to grab breakfast, Rian was already drinking his coffee and smiles up at me. "Ready for your first day of work?" "You bet!"
I toast some PopTarts, "you know you should only eat one of those packets. Not two," Rian laughs. I stick my tongue out at him, "coming from the guy who eats two waffles." "Okay, true," we laugh and my PopTarts get done.
I pour some OJ in a bottle and put my PopTarts in a bag. "Your not eating here?" "Running late, don't wanna be late on my first day." "Your running late because you took to long picking out your outfit." I smack the back of his head and he laughs. "Just kidding, go have a great day."

I take the last sip of OJ, grab my trash, and get out of my car. I throw my trash away in the trash can by the door and walk inside. I was in awe. It was my favorite place to be when I wanted to escape, besides concerts.
A girl with short cut black hair, and a nose peircing walks up to me with a bright smile. She also had some tattoos, wearing a Rocky Horror shirt and blue skinny jeans. She looked awesome.
"I'm Linda, co-manager. You must be Anna," she sticks her hand out and I shake it for a second giving her a smile. "About time we get more girl power in here, cuz as of right now we're the only girls who work here." "Really?" "Yep, but the guys are cool. Their more like my brothers. Come on, I'll give you a tour, and then you can meet the rest of the crew."
She shows me around, telling me my job during down time will be stacking and organizing CD's and albums. Rest of time I'll be working the register when there's people who wants to buy.

Zack's POV:
I was in the back room, hanging out with Kris and Sean. Our boss Alan told us we would have a new person working with us, didn't tell us his name or anything.
Linda walks in and Sean whistles at her. She rolls her eyes, "calm yo self boys. I'm introducing our new person." "He can't be that bad Linda," Kris laughs. "Come on in," she calls out the door.
Linda holds the door open and a girl walks in. Hold on. No. Anna walks in. Kris walks up to her and smiles down at her, "hey. I'm Kris. You?" "Anna." "So glad to see a girl working here," he gives her a lop-sided grin. She pushes him away, "I have a boyfriend."
"Aw boo, sorry Zack. This one is taken." Her head snaps up and looks over at me. I just smile at her, "hey Anna." She rolls her eyes and looks away. "You two already know each other?," Linda asks. "Sadly, yes," she says flatly. Kris and Sean laugh, "okay you two. Get back to work." "BOO!!," they yell while they walk out.
"Well Anna, Zack will be your mentor. Since you two have the same hours and music taste." Anna avoids eye contact with me, but I just smile at Linda. "Got it cheif." Linda gives Anna a reasuring smile and walks out.
"Don't act like your not happy your working with me," she says through her teeth. She walks out first and I follow her. She looked really good today. Who am I kidding, she looks good every day. But today, she actually put effort into her outfit. I loved how her makeup was done, it brought out her eyes. And her skinny jeans showed off her curves, and her shirt showed off thr right parts but not to much. And I loved how she still wore her beaten up black Converse with this really cute outfit. She looked perfect.
"You can out your stuff behind the counter," I show her around a bit more. Showing her where we'll be mainly working when its down time, and instruct on how to use the register, and what to do with specials and all the nice stuff.
She nods, "got it." She starts to walk off, "hey.... Anna?" "What Zack." "I just wanna say... I'm really looking forward to working with you. And that I am sorry for how much of a ass hole and dick I was to you." She keeps her back towards me, but stood there. Before she could answer I walk off.

Anna's POV:
I was still processing Zack's words. Did he really mean that? I shake my head and get to work.

It was different from the last time he kissed me. He was a total ass, he was drunk, and it was forced. While this time, it was filled with emotion and truth.
