I drooled all over the counter I had fallen asleep on.  I awoke with a loud yawn that sounded like a dying cat due to my high voice. I was in High School and was taking this job as a cashier at McWarner's. (Not a real place).

I looked around curious as to why I had been woken up. I looked over the tall counter. Okay, it wasn't tall, I was just really short. 

A really pretty girl was in front of me. She had dark curly hair, and a dark complexion. Her eyes were really pretty. They were a beautiful gold, and I wanted to stare at them forever. 

I must not look like much. My hoodie made my look like a turtle. My braces probably didn't help either. 

I smiled helpfully as she paid for her food. She started coming daily. I didn't mind. Did I mention she was pretty? Well, she was. Finally, I worked up the nerve to ask her out.

"H— hey." I greeted.

She smiled, looking at my name tag, "Hello...Xavier."

"S—sho I was wondering if shyou'd like to— to go out sometime?" I asked, my stupid braces making it difficult to enunciate some of my words.

"Oh. I— I'm flattered, really, but I— I have a boyfriend and—"

"It's okay. I— I understand."   I fled the place.
