Something... interesting happened to me about 10 minutes ago. I was coming home from Ms. Hunter's camp and I realized that I should go buy crickets for the toad and tarantula now instead of going later, so I came down Monroe, turned down Harrison and went to Butchies. I've always gone to Butchies for pet supplies and what not, but I'd say... about a month ago, they got this new employee. This kinda short philipino guy who dresses gangsta. Whenever I paid for my things, he would always make conversation. He asked me my name and after I walked out of the store, I looked at my receipt and he always charged me for less than I bought. Like, today, I asked for twenty crickets, he charged me for 10. Before, I bought a bunch of supplies for my toad and newt + them, and he charged me like... five bucks less. I was in between thinking that he was just a nice guy or he thought I was pretty and he was cheating the business. Today, I found out that apparently he does think I'm pretty and/or like me. I walked into the store, took off my headphones, lifted up my sunglasses, and asked for twenty crickets.
He said
"Hey. You still got that frog?"
It was actually a toad, but I played along and said
"yeah. They're both still alive."
He:
"They still pumpin'?"
Me:
"uhm... yeah. *smile*" I thought it was hilarious that he was talking gangsta... its cool and everything, I just didn't understand right away so I felt retarded.
Then he left to get the crickets. Now that I think about it... it looks like there are a lot more than 20.. The total came to $1.07 (which is the price for a dozen, I think). I took out a dollar, and started fishing for 7 cents, but he said "Don't worry about it" and I said "are you sure?" and he said "yeah." so,... I was about to walk out the door, when he's like "Hey, uh... I was wondering if you'd be interested in hangin out sometime..." and then I just looked at him and said "Uh... well, I think you're real sweet and all, but... I'm thirteen." (I'm guessing this guy is... atleast 18 or 19 haha) then he said "Oh, oh... okay." I said "sorry" and just left. It felt kinda... awkward. I felt sorry for the guy. I mean, I'm flattered and everything, but also at the same time overwhelmed. meh... Just thought I'd write something interesting...
