"Have a nice day sir." I say to the middle aged man. He scans my body and gives me a smirk that makes me slightly uncomfortable before he leaves the empty supermarket. I look down at my shirt and button an extra button before turning to my co-corker.

"Trish, remind me again why I work here?" Trish is my work friend, actually my only friend. We met while working but we've actually grown quite close since then. I'm not sure if she feels that way but considering I have no one else, she's the best I've got.

She looks up from a magazine she took from one of the stands. "Because you love me and don't want to leave me all alone to defend myself against all the assholes who come in here." She points out, I smile and shake my head.

This place is a 24-hour supermarket but the place is so small that you could honestly consider it a gas station.

I hate working here, I've honestly considered dropping out and becoming a stripper but I know I wouldn't make the cut. I might have the body, I mean I don't have a big chest or anything but I have the confidence and that's what matters right?

I consider my body to be pleasant though, it took a long time for me to accept and love myself but I did it. Of course sometimes I struggle but who doesn't. I've just always wanted a skinny body but I have trouble losing weight and trust me I've tried.

I rolled my eyes and steal a glance at the clock, 12:00 am. Fuck yes. I turn off my register and get ready to leave.

"Hey hey hey where are you going?" She puts her magazine down with wide eyes.
"Leaving, my shift is over."

"But you just said you wouldn't leave me all alone." She pouts and I roll my eyes.
"No, you said that, not me." I reply while gathering my things.

"Bitch." She mumbled under her breath.
"I heard that!" I shout as I walk away.
"You were meant to!" I shake my head and smile as I enter the break room to clock out, then leave the store waving goodbye to Trish on the way out.

I walk on the edge of the sidewalk trying to balance on the small inclined side of it. I'm walking to the park to unwind a bit before going home.

I've always loved this park, it isn't usually full of people which gives it that calm, peaceful vibe. It's 12:30 am already so the few people that were usually lingering around during the day aren't here. All alone, just how I like it.
