“ Its 6 versus 4 we’re outnumbered! If one of them comes close to me so help me god I’m going to punch them!” Isak said obviously frustrated with their new problem.
“Isak you won’t be punching anyone because you haven’t even met them. They seem like chill dudes.”
Jonas looked at him, eyebrows is a stern arch.
“Plus you can’t even win in a fight with anyone with those lanky ass arms of yours” Magnus snickered while flexing his arms in front of Isak’s face. Isak grabbed Magnus’ arm and pulled him to the ground. Isak had Magnus in a chokehold when Sana their manager walked him.
“Isak get the fuck off Magnus the other workers are coming.”
“Oh you mean the other boys that are going to take our jobs” Mahdi said with a straight face and sarcastic tone.
“ I already told you that no one is loosing their jobs. The only person that may be loosing their job is Isak if he comes to work in wrinkled clothes again.” Sana said while looking at Isak up and down. Isak had walked into work as if he had slept in his black work overalls.
The boys worked at a music store, they sold all types of music but their owner was looking to expand their horizons so he bought the movie store next door. The owner had cut down the wall that separated the two stores and it became one huge store that apparently had a upstairs too. The movie store also came with 6 “pretentious” (Isak made sure to let everyone know they were pretentious) employees that they were forced to merge with. So needless to say they were not excited to share hours with these new people.
And as Sana had finished her sentence the six boys walk in, all holding hands snickering and hugging.
Sana was fixing her hijab and her clothes very indiscreetly. Jonas and Isak gave each other a knowing look. They looked over at the boys and seen a particular boy looking straight at Sana with a dazed stare. They couldn’t help but giggle at seeing Sana so flustered.
“Ahh you’re late” Sana said dryly looking directly at the other manager, the boy with the dazed look.
“Uh we stopped by to get coffee before and then Mikael ordered a drink that took 15 minutes just to make so that’s that.” The dazed boy looking at Sana like a puppy who had just been yelled at.
“Chill sis if you’re gonna yell at anyone yell at Mikael and Mutta for taking forever his morning” said the short intimidating boy. He kinda looked like Sana and had an attitude just like hers. Weird.
“Sis? You’re Sana’s brother?? Oh my god that makes so much sense!” Magnus was now yelling straight into Isak’s ear which earned him a shove from Jonas.
“That explains a lot huh” said Mahdi leaning into Jonas’s ear in a slight whisper. The 2 boys couldn’t hold in their stifled laughs.
They were met with a serious face from all the boys in front of them.
“Mahdi and Magnus if you can’t be quiet go sit outside. Anyways like I was going to say this is the first day of the new store opening and as you know you guys have new coworkers. So Vilde suggested we have an ice breaker to get to know each other better. You’re gonna say your name, favorite color, and if you worked at the film store you’re going to say your favorite Music album, and if you worked at the music store you’re going to say your favorite film. Just to see if you guys have any common ground, Got it?”
“This is stupid. What are we gaining from this” said the boy with the wrinkled overalls.
“We’re doing this so we can get to know each other duh” a voice came from the other boys but Isak couldn’t pin point who said it.
“Chill Chill Chill. I guess I’ll go first cause I’m the manager at the other store. My name is Yousef Acar my favorite color is white and my favorite album is Trilogy by The Weeknd”
Everyone looked at Sana, they assumed it was her turn cause she was the manager but she was too busy spaced out looking at Yousef.
Noora elbowed her rib to snap her out, all the girls couldn’t help but giggle at the fact that they had witnessed the Emotionless Sana Bakkoush staring at someone like they hung the moon.
“Uhh my name is Sana and my favorite color is black and my favorite movie is Harry Potter”
“That’s not a movie that’s a character sis”
If looks could kill, Sana’s brother would be dead.
“I’ll take it upon myself and go next. My name is Elias and I’m Sanas extremely handsome and single brother.”
Elias looked overage winked to the girls who were all sitting on the counters behind the boys. They were all giddy and shy.
“ My favorite color is Grey and my favorite album is Playboi Cari’s self tittled.”
“I’ll go next” said Magnus still yelling.
“My name is Magnus but my friends call me Mags, my favorite color is Navy blue but I also really like Green. My favorite movie is ‘the fault in our stars’ I cry every single time ugh I’m getting sad just thinking about it.”
Isak patted Magnus‘ shoulder and pulled him back a bit so he could get a hint to stop blabbing.
“I’ll go next, my name is Mikael and my favorite color is brown and I don’t have a favorite album, but I listen to a lot of Surf Curse and king Krule.”
“We get it Mikael you’re edgy” sniffled Sana
“Don’t pick on him sana!” Said a boy wrapping his arms around Mikael, who melted into he hug like a baby.
Mahdi decided to get it over with so he just went ahead and said his ice breaker.
“My Name is Mahdi and my favorite color is red and my fav movie is The Breakfast Club.”
“My turn, My name is Adam my favorite color is burgundy and my favorite album is The anthology by a tribe called quest” Adam finished his answer still having Mikael enveloped in his arms.
In the background you could see Jonas and Isak elbowing each other to see who would be next. Isak was a few inches taller then Jonas, but Jonas was stronger. So Jonas pushed Isak so far he lost his balance and tipped forward just enough so that everyone looked at him.
Red cheeked and embarrassed isak introduced himself.
“Name is Isak and my favorite color is blue I guess and I like the transformers movies”
“HAAA! You owe me 5 kroner, pay up bitch!” Said Mikael to the tall boy with the clear blue eyes. The boy reached into his wallet and gave Mikael his money.
“I was rooting for you to not pick such a cliché movie Isak.” The boy made a pouted lip and had his hand over his heart. Isak had no idea what was going But he felt shy with the boy staring straight at him.
Isak was dumbfounded he couldn’t even form a coherent comeback let alone sentence . He hadn’t even noticed how beautiful the boy was until he heard his deep voice and how nice his name was when he said it. And that is how Isak became entranced with the new boy.
“I guess I’ll go next, my Name is Even and I the color gold and my favorite Album is NAS’s Illmatic.” Even winked at Isak and you can almost see Isak melt in his skin.
“I don’t want to go last so I’m gonna go, my Name is Muttasim but u can call me Mutta. My favorite color is black and I like brockhamton.” He was bouncing on his heals with his puffy hair bouncing all around.
“Uh my name is Jonas and I like the color Yellow and my favorite movie is the Che Guevara Documentary.”
Everyone had gone and No one knew what to do so they all just stood there looking around not trying to make direct contact with anyone.
“Sooooo now that that’s over we can move on.” Said sana
“What about the girls? They didn’t go? Why don’t they go?” Isak was always trying to make sure that if he felt uncomfortable everyone had to be uncomfortable.
“Don’t worry about us, we all got well aquatinted last Friday when Elias invited us to a party at their friends Borkïs house.” Eva said towards Isak fluttering her lashes at him, knowing exactly what Isaks intentions were.
“Last Friday? You said you couldn’t hang out because you had “very important things to take care of”. Jonas said with his fingers in air quotes, looking slightly upset.
“It was important we were on a mission to get Noora laid” Vilde sputtered out, She need to work on her brain to mouth filter.
“VILDE!” All the girls yelled, Noora looking like she wanted the floor to swallow her whole.
“Noora if you ever need help with that I’m always available” Magnus said shameless trying to act suave.
“Mags kindly fuck off takk” Noora said with the most sincere smile.
“Alright boys I’m going to need you guys to pair up and show each other around and talk about what we’re selling and how to sell it to costumers. Ohh and before I forget, the person or pair that sells the most this month will get 3000 kroner as a bonus.”
Sana was walking away sounding unamused as she announced a 3000 bonus. The guys and girls were practically shitting their pants over the thought of a bonus that big.
“They should honestly just directly deposit it into my account now because I have this in the fucking bag” said Elias giving his boys a handshake.
“You fucking wish, that bonus is mine. I’m a master at selling shit.” Isak said leaning onto the counter with one hand.
“Don’t get ahead of yourself this smile can charm anyone into buying whatever I want them to” said Mikael confidently.
Yousef walked in from the back of the store holding a huge cardboard box
“Boys shut up I need you guys to change into the new work uniform. You guys have to change out here because the girls are in the break room changing so don’t walk in there right now.”
He threw the big box on the floor and ripped it open with some keys he had hanging around his neck. He pulled out some red corduroy overalls that looked to bright to wear. Everyone but Jonas seemed displeased with the uniforms.
“Awww these are sick”
“Jonas you’re going to look stupid with your fuzzy hair and these bright red fucking overalls”
“Isak fuck off don’t be mad that red isn’t your color”
As all the boys were undressing Jonas and Isak couldn’t help but notice the other boys snickering and laughing.
“Jonas I swear to god if there laughing at us these lanky arms are going to strangle someone to death. Most likely the tall one with the stupid hair.”
“Dude ignore them, they won’t be laughing when we steal all their sales from them, I have a plan.”
“What’s your plan Jonas?”
