You had just been fired. Yes, that's right, fired. Your workplace was no longer a place you were welcome in, after you were caught trying to fix the ice cream machine efficiently for once. It's almost like they don't even want it fixed; they said it was 'unlawful tampering with company equipment', which wasn't exactly wrong, but it was lacking context. You were tired of hearing little kids cry over not being able to get ice cream. In fact, you were tired of everything about your (now previous) job. You were glad to get out of it, actually. There were things you'd miss, like the playful banter you'd have with fellow coworkers, but that was about it. You wouldn't miss your boss screaming at you every chance he got, though.

You sat in your car, the air conditioning blowing cold air into your eyes, making them burn with the dryness. You couldn't help but blink every 5 (metaphorical) milliseconds, which to people who just so happened to see you through the dirty tinted glass of your car, made you look like you were either possessed or had something in your eye. Either way, you looked crazy. After starting up the car and driving for a while, the fact that you were unemployed really started to sink in. It actually made you panic a bit; you found yourself speeding a bit every so often. This was probably due to the tenseness in your muscles from the stress of what your new job was gonna be, how long it would take to find it, if you were gonna find it, and if you could make an actual living off of it.

When you got back to your small apartment, which was desolate compared to your former workplace, you slipped your shoes off and placed them on the shoe rack that you had conveniently placed next to the door when you moved in. You then moved along to your bathroom, throwing your bag to the couch before entering. After closing the door, you peeled off your clothes and lazily walked into the shower, turning on the water which was cold and stung at your skin. Once it warmed up, you went on with washing up as usual. 

After cleaning up, doing your skincare routine (if u don't have one ignore this), and getting over with basic hygiene, you went to the kitchen, grabbed some (f/f) (f/f = favorite food), then went to your room. You grabbed your laptop and plopped yourself on the bed, opening a tab on the internet in pursuit of a new job.

Finding a job that didn't have absolute dogshit pay wasn't super easy, but you did happen across this one site for  'Circus Baby's Pizza & Rentals' you remember going there once it twice for birthdays as a kid, so it would be familiar, and seemed to have good pay and flexible hours. You scrolled down the page and found the number, called it, and let it ring for a bit while waiting for an answer.

You were about to give up when someone answered; a man's voice, hoarse with a British accent.

"Hello! Thank you for calling Circus Baby's Entertainment & Rentals! How can I help you today?" the voice said tiredly. He sounded like he hadn't gotten a good rest in days, though he tried to keep the cheer in his voice.

"Hi! Yes, I'm calling about the hire ad on the company website. I was wondering if I could apply for the job?" You said, trying your best to sound as professional as possible.

"Oh! Yes!" He said as a faint clicking could be heard on the other side of the line, presumably a pen so he could take the interview over the phone? Unusual, but you didn't question it. "Could I get your name?"

"Of course! It's (Y/N) (L/N)." You said. You could hear him write it down. Did he have the phone right next to the paper or something??? Or did he just write super loudly???

"Alrighty! To be honest with you, we are severely understaffed, so I expect you'll definitely have the job... Which position were you applying for?" The man said.

"Oh, uh, I'll apply for the after-hour-mechanic position." You said after scrolling around the page looking at the different jobs. He wasn't kidding; they were understaffed. There were at least 15 positions open according to the page.

"Lemme put that in real quick... Alright!You're hired! You should get some rest. You start tonight at 12, but you should get here about 15-20 minutes early to get used to the place, get the uniform and equipment, all that good stuff." He said. He seemed excited to have someone sign up for a job.

"Wait, theres not gonna be an interview or anything?"

"No, I have your name, so I can just run a background check. Also, as I previously mentioned; we are severely understaffed." He paused for a bit. "Oh yeah! Speaking of names, I'm Micheal. You can just call me Mike though. I'll be your coworker."

"Nice to meet you, Mike! I'll look forward to being your coworker!"

"Alrighty! I believe that's the end of the whole 'official interview' stuff, I'll see you tonight! Remember to get some rest, drink some water, and get something to eat. Can't having you pass out on the first night from dehydration or starvation or anything." He chuckled a bit, as if he was speaking from personal experience. With how tired the man sounded, he probably was.

"Alright, I will. Thanks for the advice. See you later!" You both exchanged awkward goodbyes before hanging up.

You set your phone down, closed your laptop, and got up, heading to the bathroom to brush your teeth. The current time was 5:27 P.M. You figured you could get around 5 and a half hours of sleep before you had to work. Taking the advice Mike gave, you drank some water, ate a grilled cheese sandwich, then went to bed. Of course you brushed your teeth first though.

You plopped down in the cool, soft sheets, which openly welcomed you. Soon it went from cool to warm, and you snuggled up in the blankets, which wrapped you tightly and comfortably. You very quickly fell asleep. Tomorrow is another day.

A/N: Hello everybody!!!! I just wanna make it clear that this is my first time writing a story on here, but i'm trying my best. Also, no, Micheal is not a love interest, just a friendly guy. I didn't want any confusion. :) But do enjoy the story!
