"Well, ya see, my camera broke," She sadly says.

"Um. This is the Apple Store." He says scratching his head uncomfortably. "We don't fix cameras or sell any."

I knew it, he's thinking she's an idiot. God I should help her... but then again, I don't want to. HAHA I'm a great person.

I begin to laugh at myself, and before I know it, some employee is walking over to me, asking me if I was okay.

"I'm fine I'm just waiting for my friend." I say, shoving my hands into my back pockets awkwardly.

"Oh, that girl over there?" He says, pointing at Ellie. I nod back but to my surprise, Colby notices me.

"Well, well, the one and only Ashlyn Neil? Spying? No surprise there." Colby says obnoxiously loud to the whole store. I roll my eyes and walk over, with dread.

"Hey counter boy, how does it feel working for someone who isn't you?" I reply.

"Just fine, I'm becoming manager next week actually." He says in a matter of fact type manner. He enjoys flaunting how much pride he has, it makes me sick. Then again, I'm a hypocrite because I'm exactly the same.

"Congratulations, you'll still have a decent job at a window shop." I fake smile. He rolls his eyes.

"So isn't Ellie your best friend? You're here with her aren't you?"

"Really? I thought I was just here to spy." I say with sarcasm while crossing my arms.

"Whatever, I thought you were smart Neil, you know Apple doesn't sell or fix cameras. Why'd you tag along and not tell her that." He says pointing at the camera. Ellie looks a little butt-hurt and chimes, "I'm also here to buy earbuds."

"Okay well, follow me," he motions for her to follow. El quickly decides on a pair of purple and white earbuds and checks out. He asks "Do you want your receipt?"

"Sure, I guess." She shrugs. Before he hands it to her, he quickly writes something down onto it and nonchalantly hands it to her, "Lets hang out."

"Kayy," She winks. I made a gag sound but I was internally a little jealous and pissed that he did that. He gave her his number? Is he just doing that to get on my nerves? I bet he is. What a fuckboy.

"Oh, do you want me throw out your camera or something?" He asks to her.

"Um-"

"No!" I cut Ellie off unintentionally, possibly revealing that it's my camera.

"I'm sorry Ashlyn, but is this your camera?" The look of him trying to interrogate me made my blood boil. So time to take his intelligence to my advantage.

"No, I'm going to try to fix it for her since you were no help," The sass in my voice is selling it hopefully, I don't actually know how to fix the camera.

He looked insulted. "Actually, I can fix it." He says, taking the camera from Ellie.
Time to bring it home baby.

I snatch it back from him, "Sorry, your brain capacity isn't as big as mine, I just need to hit Best Buy and do it myself, for my best friend."

His face starts to scrunch up with agitation. The face he makes when he wants to prove he is better than me. I've seen it enough times to be familiar with the majority of his emotions. He suddenly changes his pissed expression to a calm one and looks at Ellie, "Ellie, will you go out with me?"

Without a moment to spare a high pitch, "Sure!" giddily escapes her mouth.

"Ellie, I'll even fix your camera and do it for free so Ashlyn doesn't have to go buy parts for you at Best Buy." He says smiling, trying to swoon her with his cute charm.

"Well, okay then," she takes the camera from me and hands it to him.

I pretend to look angered and turn around to face my back to him. I feel him smirk, like he just outsmarted me but jokes on him, bitch you don't know shit.

/////

It's been 3 days. The majority of my room and clothes have been packed, and I'm still looking for an apartment that is close by UCLA. My camera was now fixed for free, thanks to the biggest egocentric dumbass.

Also, update on Ellie, she went on one date with Colby and she's like head over heels in love with him. She told me that him talking about band camp was "so hot." I almost regurgitated my lunch at that statement.

They seem like complete opposites. Ellie's also kind of a douche for dating him, because he is my rival. She knows that!

I'm not even sure if Ellie knows the difference between an alto-saxophone and a tenor-saxophone. Most people don't, but I do! Colby doesn't fit with her.

Don't get it twisted, I don't want to date my arch nemesis. But I like him.

I hate liking my rival.
