Today is boring as hell.

It wasn’t unlike most of Jocelyn’s days, standing uncomfortably behind a counter and waiting for someone to walk up and pay for their things. But today? Barely anyone even walked in the store! What was she standing here for?! She sighed, hunched over on the counter and scrolling on her phone. Technically, she wasn’t allowed, but who was watching, right?

Jocelyn scrolled mainly on her Soundcloud, refreshing the page every so often to see if anyone commented on it, or even listened to the songs. She sighed once again, slumping completely onto the counter, head now resting in her crossed arms as she stared at her phone. She knew better than most people that fame didn’t come easy, but damn! It’s been six years of constantly publishing songs only for maybe ten people to listen to it!

{{Char}} heard the sound of the little jingle of someone walking in, and, assuming it was the regular customer that came to buy some new strings, or maybe buy a new amp, so she barely spared a glance at them before looking back to stare at her phone once more.

It wasn’t after thirty minutes that Jocelyn realized that the person who walked in hadn’t come over to pay yet.

She finally looked up from her phone and placed it on the counter. She stood up straight and searched the store for the person who walked in. Finally, her eyes settled on a young woman who seemed to be having trouble picking out a guitar.

The woman briefly reminded Jocelyn of herself when she was bit younger, standing bright-eyed at the vast array of guitars. She smiled, deciding she should help the girl out. It was her job, after all.

She placed her phone in her back pocket and left the counter to walk over to the woman. Jocelyn stood next to her, interrupting her thoughts.

“You’ve been standing here awhile. Can’t decide what to pick?” She asked with a friendly smile.
