Maybe focusing on something else could help?

Looking over the choices, there are three things I’m still saving up for:

Yes, please (10/40) – user will be more likely to answer “yes, please” to requests to do something new or different

Taught by Others (40/50) – Others will go out of their way to help teach the user the right way to do something when the see her messing up.

Awake refreshed (49/50) – user’s sleep is more refreshing after a day of physical activity

Awake refreshed – not sure how that could go wrong. I mean the app is likely going to make “physical activity” mean something like “got fucked today.” But I can’t really see how it could go “bad”. I mean it seems like the app just wants me to fuck everyone – and rewarding me for doing it makes sense. Screw it, enough thinking – and it’s only one point. Purchased!

As for the other two. “Yes please” is only going to get me into more predicaments. But “Taught by others” – that sounds like people making me do what they want rather than just asking me first. I feel like neither is that good, but I also don’t really want to look through the list and try to find something else. At least with these I already know what the app will likely do.

Spending the next hour both doing what little is required at the Bookstore and thinking about which option to pick helps the time go by. But, it is still going by slowly.

About halfway through the shift, something interesting does happen. A text comes from Pete:

(author’s note: not sure how to do text messages, so making it > means “coming to Harper’s phone” and >> means Harper sending it. Also trying to make it more ‘text speak’ with misspelled words and numbers - so let me know if you hate this and I can just write normally in the future)

>Hey harper – u around?

>>Yea, workin tho. what up?

>o we cn talk l8r, hit me up when u free

It’s not like work has anything important going on. Maybe a bit of flirting will be more interesting.

>>na, work sucks and its slowwwwwww. How bout u entertain me? help me survive the next few hrs

>well, since you asked…. wanna c if u can come over 2nite. Me and J got an ask for you but want 2 talk irl

>>and here I thought u just wanted to talk. Sure I can head over after work. U want me to come by like 630 or go home to change 1st and head over later?

>get ur cute ass here asap :) I don’t care what u wear

>>yes sir. as u command ;)

>so u want me 2 command u? i can do that... what r my limits?

Not really what I meant, but too late. Besides, what harm could a bit of text flirting do. But limits, I mean what sorts of things could he say? And it’s not like I can’t say no anyways. Maybe just let him lead, he does seem better at that than I would be.

>>aint it more fun to find out through testing it? What sort of things u thinkin that could push my limits?

>fine – I want a picture of you in your underwear. You have 5 minutes. go
