Liz's POV:

8/2/85

My alarm blared in my ears again but this morning Eddie was actually awake before me this morning. He had already made me breakfast and it was laying on the fold out table when i came out of my room with a note attached to it that said 'Early morning thing I had to do I made this for you :) -Eddie'

An early morning drug deal is that really a thing that happens in real life? Oh well i have the trailer to myself again. Now all i have to do is  get ready for work and go . Oh and Dustin gets back today! I hope he stops by the mall to say hello to me and Steve I've missed him recently he always makes me smile, he's a good friend to have around when you're feeling as shit as i am today. I quickly eat my breakfast that Eddie had made me it was a delicious bacon bread roll. Afterwards i slip on my uniform which consisted of a sailor hat a sailor top and this tiny mini skirt which i hated but apparently i looked good in however i didn't feel good in it. Anyway i rush out of the house making sure to lock up as i rush onto my bike and throw on my zip up hoodie, walkman in hand getting ready to put my 'Queen ultimate hits' in it.

When i walked into StarCourt Mall it was empty as far as I could see so i headed straight over to Scoops and surprise surprise I was the first one there great, ugh now i have to open up shop all by myself I hate working by myself first thing in the morning it's so boring and lonely. The second person to arrive was Robin I was happy to see her and she looked like her cheeks had a darkened red to them, did i do that? when i smiled at her? no it must have been a mistake maybe she was cold or something. When she walked in i told her to sit with me in the backroom and we both just chatted for a bit about randoms stuff.

" So what sort of things do you like to do in your spare time, Buckley?"I said starting off the conversation.
" Well I like to learn foreign languages like i know French Spanish and Italian" she said
" Oh my god i also know french and a little Russian I'm still learning though." I told her it was true I did like languages I thought they were just really beautiful and interesting.

"Oh my god!"she said in shock.
"who knew we had so much in common"i said stating the obvious.

"anyway, are you not warm with your jacket still on its like 100 degrees in here?"she said a soft tone to her voice.

The reason i had my jacket on still was because of all my scars on my left arm I didn't want anyone seeing them and thinking the worst of me or even worse Eddie seeing them and freaking out about it so i was trying to cover them up as much as possible except it was really warm in that room and i could definitely tell Robin was suspicious of why i still had it on i mean i took off yesterday. 

"Yeah...Im just a bit cold" i say quietly Robin barely hearing what i had said.
"Okay well it looks like Steve is here so I'm gonna go help him serve ice cream seeing as he is actually here now."she said leaving the room with a reassuring smile on her face.
The atmosphere in the room really changed when Robin asked about my jacket it suddenly went darker and much colder as if i were stuck in my own broken mind.

Robins POV:

When i walked into StarCourt today I didn't think i would have someone with me this morning and when i walked into Scoops Liz was there waiting for someone it was perfect i didn't have to be alone in the morning I wonder if she's okay cause it was really hot in the break room and she still had her jacket on?Maybe she was hiding something? Anyway we hung out in the break room together learning a bit more about each other which was a nice quality time spent with her until Steve walked into Scoops. I used that as my opportunity to leave and let her have some time to herself cause when i asked her about her jacket she seemed to have changed how she was talking to me she seemed more closed like she didn't wan to talk.I now know she knows French and a bit of Russian too. When she laughed though she laughed for real not a fake shitty one like everyone does in school no a proper real laugh like when someone says a joke that is genuinely funny.
