Harper pouted and then sighed. "Fiiiine. I have to get back to work too." she gave in and skipped out, waving hello to people who began to file into the music store.
By the time she made it back, her boss gave her a little glare.
"Bolt. Where were you." it was more of a demand than a question and she winced, looking down at her feet, remembering sh left her coffee at the music store.
"I, uh, er...." she said softly, not like to be yelled at. "...I was getting something to eat." she squeaked and looked up with her big, chocolate brown eyes.
The Boss narrowed his eyes. He wasn't the nicest of people and he muttered something nasty under his breath, making Harper wince. "This is the second time this month," he started. Sorry that I'm freaking ADD, she thought. It was true though, she got distracted by the simplest things. "...and we cant afford to have you gone anymore. Sorry, but you will have to find another place to work." he stated and took the lanyard from around her neck. Harper opened her mouth the protest but got shut up by an angry look and she frowned, tears welling in her eyes and she pivoted on her heel and walked out. Harper has never gotten fired from anything. Never. Wasn't her fault she was sensitive too.
Harper made her way back to Sam Ash and had a dejected look on her face. "I spoke to soon." she mumbled quietly and plopped down on an open stool.

Jude watch Harper cautiously, hoping she wouldn't break anything. Before he knew it though, Nikki was shooing her out. Harper left with fewer words than Jude had expected. He turned his attention to Nikki as she walked back over. "Nope, I have everything set up. Did Harper put the guitar back right?" He leaned on his stool, trying to see and nearly fell off.
He grabbed onto the counter for dear life and sat back up, embarrassed. "Uh, that didn't happen." He smiled and laughed, opening the register and closing it. Open, close, open, close...
Harper entered then. Jude looked up in confusion and noticed her grim expression. Instead of feeling anxious yet excited, he felt a bit more negative. Her face had fallen, making him frown as well. "What happened?" he asked, turning his head to look at her.

Nikki glanced over to where Harper had been examining the instruments.
"I'm sure she wouldn't be so inconsiderate as to mess up your neat system," she declared cheerily, watching the door Harper had just left though absently. Still no customers. Oh well, it was too early to assume it was going to be a slow business day. Most days no one really started coming in until around lunch time, probably because they got a lot of teenagers in their store and most of them seemed to be sleeping during the early hours. Nikki had a brief panic attack as she thought about the possibility of her not turning off her stove before she realised that she hadn't even used it in the past week. No, the most useful piece of kitchen equipment was her microwave. God bless the microwave.
She glanced over as Jude wobbled precariously on his stool.
"Of course it didn't," she replied with a bright sunny grin. Jude was absolutely adorable, although she did worry about him sometimes. She hadn't seen him with a girl yet, although she was positive that soon he would have girls' swooning after him as he was extremely nice. Then again, Nikki had also been at a loss as to why her ninety something grandfather had been single when he died. And he had been a convicted felon.
Nikki looked up as Harper re-entered, looking quite down-cast.
"Harper! What happened?" she asked with concern, tilting her head and watching the girl from her seat. The door opened behind her as a customer trailed in.

Harper sighed and ran a hand through her straight brown hair. "Er, I guess I stayed too long... again," she started and blinked before continuing. "And I kinda got fired." she mumbled softly. Then her sad attitude seemed to vanish and she perked up. "Well, on the bright side, that means I can stay longer!" she chirped with a slight grin. Harper pulled her stool over to the two and crossed her ankles, swinging her legs back and forth like a little kid would do. Her bright eyes searched the place and saw a customer enter. She smiled and waved at the stranger, trying to be friendly.
((Sorry for short post... and I havn't been on the past 4 days because I was on a cruise.))

Jude frowned, though he couldn't blame her boss. He was slightly amazed at how quickly she recovered from the loss, hopping onto her stool and sliding on over to make their twosome and threesome. "You could probably help out around here, but I can't say you'll make much if any money," he told her honestly. He felt bad that she'd gotten fired, but what could he do about it?
The first customer of the day walked in. He looked up and smiled at them. "Need any help today?" he asked them. The guy shook his head and shuffled over to the recording area.

Harper smiled brightly at Jude's suggestion. "Okay! Thanks!" she chirped and perked up more. "And I honestly couldn't care less if I made any money." she reassured him and blinked, hopping up. She stood there, bouncing on her feet once more, unable to contain her energy. She really shouldn't have had that coffee this morning.... Like she of all people needed it. She hummed quietly and waited for somebody to say something. Although she was a singer, her humming still had that unique and rather pretty flow to it, like silk. She grinned and awaited a response.
Jude smiled, glad that he'd made her feel better. That's the kind of guy he was, always helping people back up when they were put down. Some might call it sucking up, but he was sincere. He looked at Harper, bouncing up and down like the energizer bunny. Man, this girl had a lot of energy! He looked over at Nikki, then back at the guy cruising through the store. He looked sort of shady to Jude, but who was he to judge?
Harper took a nother sip of the coffe she really shouldn't have been drinking. She was hyper enough already naturally. Harps got up and began bouncing around the store from palce to place. One minute she was at the guitars, the next books, and after that keyboards. Then, withing five minutes she had been around te whole store and she was back on her perch of the stool. "So! How have you been lately?" she asked Jude with a friendly smile, the silence eating her alive. Obviously there was music playing in the store, but there was absolutely no talking!"

Jude had a hard time keeping still as Harper bounced around the store. What if she knocked something over? Or broke it? If something was broken, it would be his fault and come out of his pay check. Before he knew it, she was back on her stool and asking how he was. "Oh, I've been fine. Listening to music and stuff," he answered. "What about you?"
Harper saw the paranoid look in Jude's expression. Probably nervous she would damage something, so she decided to reassure him. "Don't worry. I may be happy, but I'm not clumsy." she said with a joyful smile to prove her point. Then, he rebounded her question right back at her. She shrugged. "EH, same old same old. Writing some music, practicing it, and practicing lacrosse. Beach. All the boring stuff." she said with a not very excited tone. She always just thought her life wasn't very exciting. She wanted to take risks, but never got the chance.
"The beach isn't so boring. My dad never takes us because he hates driving there. Plus I think my whole family except for me ends up burning to a crisp in the sun." Jude chuckled. It was never fun to have sunburn, but it sure was fun to tease people when they did. He wasn't sure why she considered it so boring. Anything that took up time couldn't be boring, could it?
Harper grinned. Well it wasn't very boring, but when you grow up on the beach pretty much, it was. "Eh, kinda. And that sucks." she chirped, feeling sympathy. Harper couldn't imagine life without the beach. "We had a house on the beach pretty much... It was our only house, so I pretty much was a fish." she explained, still bouncing on the counter, unable to contain her energy. It the whole tanning and burning concept, Harps laughed. 'Oh, well, I have never been burned before.... And I only apply one thing of sunscreen. SO, I usually tan before I burn." she explained to Jude.
Jude sort of doubted that considering how pale she looked. But how would he know? He shrugged and noticed that the guy had left. He sighed, not sure of what else to do or talk about. He looked at Nikki who seemed to be in a daze, then back at Harper. "So... how's the weather?" he asked awkwardly to break the silence.
(she actually is tan...)
Harper couldn't really help but laugh lightly at his next words. How's the weather? They were in the same place weren't they? "Um, pretty good." she decided on, and grinned, eyes shimmering with amusement. "How 'bout you?" she rebounded with a friendly smile.

(... >.< Opps...)
"Uh, we're in a building. But it was nice when I drove here this morning. Except that I almost hit some guy speeding when I turned. That scared the crap out of me." Jude found himself babbling on, but figured it was better than silence.

Harper gigiled at his comment about them being in a building. "Good point." she said and rocked back and forth on the stool, how teachers tell you not to becasue you might fall. In other words, they are usually telling you that htey don't want to deal with a jacked up kid. Too late! Harper may not be physically messed up, but mentally was another story as her parents used to say. Her eyes became truobled, but she shook the thought away, and was as perky as usual.
Speeding? She couldn't imaging Jude, of all people, speeding. So, to tease him, she put a hand over her mouth and gasped, seeimng truthfull shocked. Not to brag or anything, but HArper was an amazing actress as well as musician. Her eyes grew wide. "Jude henderson? Speeding? OH my!" she said with a smile and laugh to follow.

The blonde didn't notice the second of despair that crossed Harper's face. He was too focused on her rocking back and forth. She really shouldn't do that. He was worried she would fall and then he'd have to take her to the emergency room or something. Jude usually wasn't the best under stress, which was probably why he had a mini panic attack whenever he had to take a test.
He looked at Harper as she gasped, which shocked him a bit, but once she started laughing he knew that she was just joking. He smiled and shrugged. "Well, I didn't want to be late getting here. I like for everything to be in order." He smiled.

Harper rolled her eyes in a playful manner.
"Suuure." she said with a wink and rocked back and forth still. The legs slipped from under her, and the stool fell, but with Harper's sharp reflexes, the bright girl leapt off in a single motion and landed on her toes without making a sound. And in another fluid motion, she grabbed the stool about an inch before it clattered to the ground, saving a mess. If it did fall, it would have knocked down a rack of CD's. Harper gave Jude an apologetic smile.
"My bad mat.e At least I caught it!" she chirped, seeing the bright side of things. The girl flipped the stool upright, and sat on it again. This time, staying still. Other than her bouncing leg that was.

Jude cringed, ready to hear the loud noise of the stool hitting the ground. But before it did, Harper somehow caught it. He sighed in relief. "Are you a ninja or something?" he asked, eying the stack of CDs. They seemed fine.
Harper gave a slight laugh at his comment, and raised her eyebrow in a mischievous way. "Maybe..." she said and hopped down, and was standing next to him without making a sound in an instant. "...maybe not." she said playfully then raced back to her stool, hopping on it and pulling her legs in towards her, resting her chin on her knees with cat like balance, not even wavering in her position. She just relaxed there, like everybody was supposed to be this nimble and agile.
Jude watched her in amazement. Was this a dream? He pinched his wrist. Nope, this wasn't a dream. "Ok, you are definitely a ninja," he told her as she perched on the stool. That was just not natural. '"If I tried to do that, then I would fall flat on my face." He laughed.
Harper gave a proud grin. "Fine, you figured out my secret." she admitted playfully with a hazel eyes wink.
AT the thought of Jude trying to do this, she giggled. No offense, but he was probably right. Harper jumped slightly so she could scoot her feet under her, and comfortably balanced on her toes practically in a squatting position and rested her elbows on her knees, and her chin on her hand.

Jude smiled, feeling accomplished. He sighed and looked at the radio in the corner softly playing music. He walked over to it and turned it off, then grabbed one of the acoustic guitars. He walked back to his stool and sat down. He started to play some random chords for fun.
Harper grinned, then tipped her head lsightly to the side as she watched Jude. He began to strum the guitar, and it was pretty good. She practically danxced over to a keyboard that was nly a few fe3et away, and she began to play along. The mix between guitar and keyboard sounded pretty cool. Meanwhile Harper grinend and giggled as she listened, but was oddly concentrated on the sound. Music changed her. She could be super hyper, then whenever she started playing, it was like Harper dissappeared.
