"Aye sweet thaaaang!" Mason greeted with a cheeky smile as I entered the shop. I let out a quiet laugh, typical Mason.

"Hey Mase. Um, did I miss Georgia?" I ask, hoping for a no as an answer.

"Yeah, she left about half hour ago, you know, you could just text her. I mean, she's a super cool boss so I don't see why she won't grant you permission for a week's leave." He replies. I sighed. I knew I could do just that, but I guess I just wanted to ask her face to face, to show courtesy.

"You know why I don't wanna do that." I pointed out.

"Yeah yeah, you and your politeness." He snorted. "Well anyway, I'm gonna head home now, but we're closing down early today, so pack up by 8."

"Right, yeah, Georgia told me over the phone earlier but thanks for the reminder." I replied, going into the employees' room to change into my work attire which basically consists of a navy blue cap, a tee of the same shade and also a forest green apron. By the time I was done, Mason was already gone. I looked at the clock to see I have about 5 hours to go. Well, here we go.. I thought with a sigh.

"Hey everyone, I'm home!" I shouted out, kicking the door close. Yep, you could say I'm very polite to inanimate objects. No reply. I sighed, my parents were probably still at work and my sister's probably at her boyfriend's.

I went up to my room, but not before grabbing some chips and a soda. It's still a mystery how I'm not the size of a whale, I mean this is my daily routine when I come back from my job. I placed them on my desk, next to my laptop before taking a quick shower and changing into my pajamas. I wrapped a towel around my wet hair and switched on my laptop. I typed in the URL for Twitter and logged into my account. I scrolled through my feed. Meh, nothing interesting.. I thought to myself.

Just as I thought that, a ding resounded through my room. Wow, would you look at that, someone actually sent me a dm.

Alex Sawyer: Hey female me! :P

I smiled and shook my head at his greeting, only Alex..

Alexa Rose: I don't know if you've heard, but apparently there's this gadget called a handphone and - here's the exciting part - you can actually text someone with it.

Alex Sawyer: What! No way, really? Man, I really should get one of those soon.

I rolled my eyes at this.

Alex Sawyer: My phone's in the other room and I'm just soooooooooooo lazy to take it, plus I knew u were gonna be on Twitter

Alexa Rose: You're always super lazy so that doesn't come as a surprise. *rolls eyes* Why are you talking to me anyway?

Alex Sawyer: Firstly, I'm not talking, I'm typing so.. And secondly, can't a guy talk to his best friend?

Alexa Rose: Ha ha... you're so funny, someone help me off the floor, I think I might be dying of laughter. Please, you don't actually think I'm dumb enough to believe that, do you? What do you really want, Alex?

Alex Sawyer: Thanks, I knew comedy was my thing. Fine, you caught me. Are you free tomorrow, say around noon?

Alexa Rose: Ah, I see.. You want to talk to me about Sophie over brunch amirite

Alex Sawyer: Heh. You caught me again :P

Alexa Rose: Yeah whatever. See you tomorrow, usual place?

Alex Sawyer: Yup. I'll text you if there's anything else.

Alexa Rose: K bye.

Alex Sawyer: Love youuuuuuuuuu

With that, I exited the little lovely chat we just had. I stretched, feeling a little tired all of a sudden. As I was yawning, my phone vibrated for about a second. Oh yay, someone finally texted me. I picked the little thing up and saw it was only Alex. Man, I should really get me some new friends.

Alex the dumbass: yo I just grabbed my phone. just wanted to say there's no change in plans

I rolled my eyes for the billionth time, why must he be so dumb and text me this?

I replied with an 'Ok' just because I was too lazy to entertain his dumb ass. I glanced at the time on my phone to find it's only 8.45 pm. What to do, what to do... I asked myself. Ah, whatever, I'm just going to watch a movie on my laptop. I went downstairs to grab some more chips. Just as I was about to enter the kitchen, the doorbell rang. Who could possibly be here at 8.50 pm, what the heck?

I went to the door, tiptoeing to peek through the peephole, only to find no one. My eyes widened as I came to a realisation. This could be the day I get kidnapped. I'm not taking any risks, I've seen too many horror films to know how the vulnerable girls always end up falling for their killer's little trap. I grabbed an umbrella nearby and held it behind me, out of vision of the potential killer that could be hiding outside. It then occurred to me that maybe it could be a tiny human outside that I couldn't see. You know what, screw this, I'm just going to grow a pair and open the door. With a turn of the lock, I opened the door slowly, with only my head in view for whoever's outside.

"Who's there?" I asked, bravely might I add.

No reply. I looked around and sure enough, there was nobody found anywhere. I then looked down and there it was, a little yellow envelope. Silly me, getting worked up for no reason. I let out a little chuckle as I picked it up and closed the door.

"Is this for me?" I asked no one in particular. Look at me, talking to myself. With a 'screw it, there's no one home anyway', I opened it. In it, was an A4 paper with a messy scrawl on it.

Dear Alexa Beatrice Rose,

I am writing this to tell you HEY!

By,

The one and only Alex

What the actual fuck? Does he actually not have a life? His house is just a 10 minute walk from mine, but still. Why did he have to send me this? What is wrong with this child? I took my phone and texted him.

"Get a life, you dumb shit." Ah, that'll do. Seconds later, I got back a reply.

Alex the dumbass: but u r my life

I laughed a little, look at him trying to act sweet.

"Yeah k whatevs. C u 2morrow." I typed back, he deserves getting short-formed anyway.

I didn't wait for a reply, instead I just switched off my laptop, threw the empty bag and soda can away and headed to bed.
