Chloe's POV: I stand slouched behind the counter at 7-11, drumming my fingers against the hard surface and anxiously checking the time. Tucking a strand of my golden hair behind my ear, I look out at the empty abyss of a store and sigh. My shift is practically over, and I can't wait to get out of here.
Just as I'm thinking that, the bell above the door rings as an attractive boy around my age wanders in. I blush, and instantly stand up straighter as we make eye contact. He smiles at me, his brown eyes crinkling upwards, and gives me a small wave. I smile back shyly and then look away. Fiddling with my bracelet, I'm hyper aware of his presence in the store as he picks out a few items. I steal another glance at him, and he catches me looking at him and smirks. He walks up to the counter and puts down a can of Dr. Pepper and some bags of candy.
"You like what you see....," he squints and reads my name tag, "Chloe?"
I look into his deep brown eyes and his messy hair, fantasizing about running my fingers through it. My eyes trail down the rest of him, taking in his good figure. I decide to be perfectly honest.
"Maybe just a little."
He grins at me, flashing a winning smile. "I'm Zach. It's nice to meet you."
Zach.... he does look kind of familiar. As I ring up his items, I struggle to think of where I might have seen him before. I come up blank.
"You look really familiar, Zach. I don't see how I could ever forget a face like yours."
He lights up at the compliment, and grins deviously when he realizes I don't know who he is. I flush.
"What?! Are you famous or something?"
"I'll never tell." His eyes twinkle mischievously. He leans across the counter and places his hands in front of mine, face down. I stare intently at him, trying to place his face.
"You're staring."
"Shut up, I know."
"Give me your phone."
I hand him my phone, unsure of what's happening. He snaps a quick selfie of us before I even have time to react and hands me back my phone.
"Zach! I look gross in this uniform."
He frowns. "No, you look great."
I smile. "Flirty, are we?"
His eyes trail my body and finally meet mine. "Guilty as charged."
Before I can think of a response, his phone starts to ring. Glancing at the screen, he mouths "sorry!" and takes the call.
"Jack! Not now bro!" He listens to the phone and shakes his head. Jack.... and Zach. Oh my god. I know them. It's the members of Why Don't We. How could I be so stupid? My eyes start to widen and Zach can see me starting to freak out from the corner of his eye. He seems to realize that I finally recognize him and snorts. Zach takes his bag and puts the phone down for a second.
"Listen, Chloe. I've gotta run I'm so sorry. I'll see you around, okay?"
"I- you're Zach Herron!"
"You finally figured it out I'm impressed." He winks and starts to walk out the door.
I blink, trying to process it all. "Zach, wait!"
But it was too late. The door slammed shut as I wondered if I would ever see him again.
