I saw it First

The little bell above the thrift shop door jingles as Eva enters, and she is greeted by the familiar, off-putting smell of multiple different scented candles wafting around the store.

The clerk at the desk nods to her, and Eva nods back as she begins browsing the racks of clothes. Several items catch her eye, but nothing really holds her interest. Upon reaching the end of the women’s clothing, Eva spots something.

Hanging at the end of a rack in the men’s section is a denim jacket, but not just any jacket, a wallflower denim jacket, with the signature jersey knit sleeves and hood attached. Eva makes for the jacket the moment she catches sight it, but the moment her hand touches it, someone else’s does too.

She freezes, and glances over. The hand touching the jacket is attached to a girl, a beautiful girl, with dark hair, a grey beanie, and a green flannel. Her eyes are brown and piercing, and Eva is struck dumb.

The girl’s eyes narrow, and the movement jolts Eva back into the present.

“I saw it first!”

She mentally facepalms, of all the ways to start a conversation, Eva went with one of the worst opening lines possible.

The stranger rolls her eyes and scoffs, “As if, I spotted this thing from halfway across the store, I definitely saw it first.”

They argue for a few minutes, growing more heated by the second, Eva’s subconscious telling her to just walk away all the while. She wants this jacket, but it’s not worth the fighting, especially when this (really pretty) girl wants it just as much.

Finally, Eva gives in.

“Okay, fine, just take it.”

The girl’s eyes widen, “Really? You’re just gonna let me have it?”

“I’m done arguing, besides, I’m feeling nice today,” She sighs.

“Wow, well thanks.”

The girl lifts the hanger from the rack, and Eva watches as she walks to the register, pays for her things, and leaves.

Eva ends up buying a new pair of jeans and a hat that she can paint later. As she makes her way back to her car, Eva notices something.

Tied to the handle of the driver’s side door, is a bag. Eva looks around, but the parking lot is empty of people. Opening the bag, Eva gasps.

Inside the bag is the denim jacket, and when Eva pulls it out, out falls a small slip of paper. She feels her lips stretch into a disbelieving smile as she reads the note scribbled onto it.

I lied, I saw you first
