Aurelia shook her head in reply to the guy's question. "No, I've never heard of it. But if you think it's that good I'll check it out." She smiled at him, then nodded when he excused himself. "See ya next time," and she waved him off.<br/><br/>With a yawn she got back to work, counting down the minutes until her shift was over. When the time finally came, she clocked out and left the bookstore. By then she was starving, so she headed over to the food court, taking her phone out. She sent her bandmates a text asking if they wanted to practice tonight. She promised junk food and drinks if they did.<br/><br/>As she waited for the replies, she stood in line for the sushi place, looking around to see if she recognized anyone around. The great thing about working in the mall, aside from the discounts, was the people watching. She was already immune to the embarrassment she used to feel when looking at people. Now she looked on without any shame, observing like a researcher.<br/><br/>She spotted the guy she was talking to at work--she had never caught his name--and saw him with two twins that she knew from school. Smiling, she decided that if they were still hanging out there when she got her food--and her bandmates didn't answer right away--she would join them.
