Back Tomorrow

Dlump bzzz slump bzzz dlump! The greasy nuggets smacked and sizzled. Raquel eyed them in their bath of hot oily pain. She hated this job. All of her friends had fun jobs like Starbucks or babysitting, but she worked at McDonald's.

"Hurry up! They's waiting in the line!" Tyrone squealed. Raquel didn't like Tyrone very much. He liked to scream(especially at her)and tell people what to do.

"Sorry, I was just thi-"

"Well! Stop thinkin' an' work!" Tyrone ordered. Raquel, not wanting to argue, grabbed the handle of the frier, and dumped. Shlop! The nuggets smacked the cold metal counter, and Raquel reached for a box.

"Mmm! Did you try'n take ma box? I touched it first." Teresa declared.

"Sorry, I wasn't tryna take yo box."

"Mmmhhmmm." Teresa stared straight into her soul. Raquel looked down at her feet. She hated eye contact.

"GETTA BOX!" Shrieked a bright red Tyrone.

"I will!"

"Wat?!"

"I-I said I will." Raquel quickly grabbed a box, and threw in the greasy nuggets.

"Here, give it outta the winda." Raquel instructed as she handed the box to Tyrone.

She walked to the back. She just wanted a moment to think. This was the worst job ever, she couldn't even think straight. Click clack click! Teresa's nails clapped against computer keys. Everyone here was loud and moody. Slump bzzz dlump bzzz! Nuggets screamed for help from the burning grease. No one even cared about doing their job. "Hurry up!" Tyrone squaked at a trainee. Everyone here is crazy. She spent all day with these people for what? Minimum wage? Ding ding! The buns were done in the microwave. Was it her turn to take them out. She couldn't remember. CLICK! BZZZ! "FASTER!" DING DING! Would someone ever save her from this agony?

"Hey losers! I'M HOME!"

"Usnavi!" Raquel whooped. She ran up to him and gave him a quick high-five. They did a little spin and completed the handshake with a high ten. Usnavi was the manager and Raquel's best friend.

"I thought you wasn't comin' to work today." Raquel questioned.

"I'm always where you are." Usnavi smiled.

"Yea..."

"Look, I'll let chu off early. My treat for you."

"I hadn't done a shift yet."

"Yea, but itcha first day. Just be back early tomorrow."

"I don't know. I don't like it here."

"Don't worry 'bout them. Just be back tomorrow."

"But I-"

"Back tomorrow."
