        Kenz Pov

         When I Woke Up That Day Grey Wasn't There , Actually I Hadn't Seen Him All Week .
      Anyways , Today Is The Day I Open My Shop It Got Postponed A Few Days bt It's Definitely Opening Today , No Matter What . bt Right Now It's 6 In The Morning nd I Have Nothing To Do . I Knew I Wasn't Going Back To Sleep . I Got Up After A Few Minutes Walking Into The Bathroom . I Pee'd nd Washed My Hands Then Got In The Shower . Once I Got Out I Finished My Daily Hygiene Routine .
        I Walked Into My Closet Looking For Something To Wear . I Already Had A Outfit Picked Out bt I Didn't Like It Anymore . Ugh , Stupid Hormones .
        I Didn't Want To Get Too Dressed Up So I Just Threw On Some Camo Pants , A Red Bandana Shirt With Flaps nd My Red Chucks , Simple Enough . Once I Was Dressed I Pulled My Hair Into A Messy Bun nd Wrapped A Red Bandana Around My Head .

          Considering My Shop Doesn't Open Until 2 I Had A Lot Of Time To Spare . 

        I Have Yet To Talk To Anybody Else Since That Night bt I Think They Might Show Up . There Are Hundreds Of Flyers Floating Around The City They Are Bound To Find Out So I Didn't Tell Them , Maybe They Will All Come nd Surprise Me . At Least I Hope .

        I Really Do Miss My Friends . I Miss Zilvon ; Goofy Ass , Lea ; Rude Ass , Ashlin ; Nice Ass , Taee ; Gay Ass . Ugh I Even Miss Tony nd Neno . nd You Know I Can't Forget My Bessfriend Mikah nd Annoying Cousin Issa . 

          I Seem Like A Lonely Hoe . I Had To Do Something To Get My Mind Off Everything , Eating Always Helps . I Really Shouldn't Be Eating Restaurant Food , bt I Was Too Nervous To Cook . I Grabbed My Wallet nd Keys Walking Out Of My Condo . I Walked To My Car Ugh , So Many Memories . I Need A New Car . 

        Anyways , I Climbed In Starting The Engine . I Readjusted My Mirror After Putting My Shades On . The Sun Was Shining Bright Today . I Smiled Pulling Out My Driveway . I Drove In The Direction Of iHop Craving Chocolate Chocolate Chip Pancakes . Once I Got There I Pulled Up Close To The Door Quickly Jumping Out . When I Walked In I Was Immediately Seated By The Large Windows .

        The Waitress Wasn't Rude Or Anything bt She Seemed Tired . I Really Didn't Care Long As I Get To Eat . She Handed Me A Menu nd Asked What I Wanted To Drink .

        " Water Please " I Said Flashing Her A Smile . 

        " Okay I'll Be Back " She Said Walking Away .

        She Came Back A Few Minutes Later With My Cup nd A Straw .  

        " Are You Ready To Order ? " She Asked Placing The Cup On The Table .

        " Yes , Can I Have Two Stacks Of Chocolate Chocolate Chip Pancakes , Cinnamon Swirl Brioche French Toast , 4 Pieces Of Bacon nd A Small Bowl Of Seasonal Fruit " , She Wrote Everything Down Nodding As I Listed My Items Off .

        " I Will Be Back As Soon As Your Order Is Ready " She Said Forcing A Smile nd Walking Off .

        About 8 Minutes Later The Waitress Returned With My Meal , I Was Nearly Drooling Over The Food . I Couldn't Wait To Dive In . 

        " Here You Are " She Said Sniffling While Putting The Tray Full Of Food Down . She Was About To Walk Off Until I Grabbed Her Arm . She Stopped Turning Around . 

       " If You Don't Mind Me Asking , What's Wrong ? "

        " I Just , Ugh , Nothing " She Said Wiping Her Tears nd Scurrying Away . 

        I Tried To Get My Mind Off What Juss Happened . I Picked Up My Silverware Digging Into My Pancakes . I Took Big Bites Not Caring What Anybody Thought , I Felt As If I Hadn't Ate In Six Years .

        I Chopped Away Taking Big Gulps Of Water In Between . I Was So Caught Up In My Food I Hadn't Noticed Tony Walk In . 

        He Was Sitting At A Booth With A Girl , I Couldn't See Her Face Only Her Hair , It Was Most Likely Eli .

        I Didn't Feel Like Being Here bt I Refused To Let Him Ruin This Delicious Meal . I Turned My Chair A Little So I Couldn't See Them . I Took A Couple Bites Before Reluctantly Looking At Him Again . 

       Ugh , I Waved The Waitress Over Asking For A To-Go-Plate nd Bill . She Came Back A Few Minutes Later .

        She Gave Me A Bill Of $31.17 nd A Container . I Handed Her $40 Telling Her To Keep The Change , She Walked Away To Get My Receipt As I Placed The Left Over Food In The Plastic Container . 

        She Returned Momentarily Handing Me A White Slip Of Paper . I Glanced At Her Name Tag Smiling .

        " Thanks Haley " I Grabbed My Stuff Getting Up .

        I Walked Out The Door nd Got Into My Car . I Drove To My Shop Parking Right Infront Of The Door .

        I Admired The Blue Walls nd Wooden Floor As I Walked In . I Caress My Hand Over The Leather Futon Couch Fondling With The Magazines Sitting On The Table Beside It . 

        I Walked Around The Corner To Find My Workers Having A Group Conversation .

        A Slender Mocha Brown-Skinned Girl Named Rain Works In The First Station Which She Shares With Another Employee . She Has Long Dreads That Flow Down Her Back , Which She Always Has Styled . Her Tattoos Are Fairly Good , Juss Not Good Enough . I Have Her Doing Minor Tattoos Right Now Mainly On Hand nd Arms , So She Can Work On Techniques Such As Stippling . I’ll Boost Her Position Sooner Or Later I Juss Don’t Want Her To Get Nervous nd Fuck Up .

                My Former Classmate , Trelly , Also Works Here . He Has A Semi Low-Cut Hair nd Is Tatted All Over , Even A Few On His Face . He Cute nd Allat , bt He Is Taken . He Says He’s “Faithful“ , Whatever That Is . Anyways , He Works In The A Big Station With The Tattoo Bed . His Work Bomb As Fuck , Considering He Has Been Doing Tattoos Since He Was 16 Out Of His Uncles Garage I Would Expect So . He Does Most Of The Chest nd Back Tattoos Because He Works So Fast nd Efficient . I Might Let Him Do Mines One Day .

                My Favorite White Boy Is Malcolm , bt We Call Him Mac . He’s One Of Those Humble bt Rich Boys . He Hella Tatted With Shaggy Hair . We Typically Think Spoiled Kids Only Goal In Life Is To Rebel Against Their Parents bt He’s Different ; All He Wants To Do Is Give People Tattoos . He Is Already Nearly Covered In Tattoos So I Juss Gave Him A Large Station To Cover Everybody Else’s Bodies .

                My Artistic Designer Is Novad . I Love His Hair , He Has Dreads That Are A Dark Blonde Brown Color . Anyways , He Is So Creative nd Innovative . He Does The Realistic Art With Extra Precise Engravings nd Fine Line Tattoos . Considering He Went To Art School He Is Extremely Talented . I Let Him Get A Medium Station So He Wouldn’t Have To Do Large Tattoos nd Rush , Everyone Knows Two Day Tattoos Are The Worst . He Basically Does Jobs Too Intense For Rain nd Too Moderate For Mario .

                This Foreign Dude Named Jun Cheng Hua , Meaning Handsome Prosperous Journey , Also Works Here . He Struggles With Speaking English bt We Try To Help Him . His Thick Accent Is Lowkey Sexy , Even If He Doesn’t Understand What He Is Saying Half The Time bt He Can Read nd Write In Several Languages So That’s A Benefit , Plus His Handwriting Is Like A Teenaged Girl , So Elegant nd Cute . I Have Him Working In A Small Station With Rain Doing Word Tattoos nd Chinese Symbols . At Least Until He Can Speak English , Fluently .

                My Last Worker Is Rodney , He Is A Pretty Flexible Worker Doing Any Kind Of Work . His Work Is Average bt His Wild Ideas Make Up For What He Lacks In Skill . I’m Going To Start Him Off Doing Cover Ups nd Other Jobs Such As Piercings . Then I’ll Work Him Up To Abstract Works nd So On . nd One Of My Lil Birdies Told Me He Has A Crush On Me , Hmm . 

Rodney In Mm
