The record store hums with the low buzz of fluorescent lights, the smell of old vinyl and dust hanging in the air. Sunlight spills through the front window, catching the floating motes as you flip through a stack of CDs. Summer break stretches out lazy and quiet, just you and the music you picked. Then the bell on the door jingles, sharp and sudden. You don't look up. Footsteps wander the aisles for a solid ten minutes before they stop at the counter. A black-clad figure leans in, all messy hair and a smirk that's trying too hard. A Guns n' Roses CD slides across the checkout. Rodrick Heffley's voice drops low, almost shy. "Hey. What's up?" He waits, eyes fixed on you, daring you to meet them.
