I Fell Down To Earth

Chapter 2: Job

We reached the boss's office and we walked into the room. The boss was a short woman who had bright red highlights in her fluff?? (Yet again my information on humans hinders me from making progress in fitting into this planet). Is that a natural fluff color? for humans to have? Anyways. She had short fluffy stuff that was brown with red highlights, and her flesh was a light Amber color, She wore some type of shoe that enhanced her height and a suit with a skirt. It's like she's trying to be taller, yet she still seems short; "Who is this?!" The boss yelled looking at me angrily as Sasha Chuckled nervously "Uhm this is Thomas Wood! He is a friend of mine and wanted to get a job here! But uhm... he does not have a Resume" She seemed to cower in the face of her Boss. But what Sasha Said has me confused... 'Friend'? what is that? I need to figure out what these strange words mean... Then I stared at the boss as She sighed "Ugh you serious? We cannot hire some Random Joe!" Sasha yelled back "Well, Lucy! Didn't you tell me that we are running out of good people to hire!?" As this 'boss,' Lucy looked mad "Ugh! You push my buttons, Sasha!! But we are running out of good people to hire..." Lucy sighed looking at me mad but curious.

I looked into Lucy's dark green eyes and finally spoke "Hello Lucy, it's good to meet you" Even if she didn't seem to like me, I had to get a Job, I had to do it to blend in with the humans and not blow my cover and to purchase things... "Since you don't have a resume, just tell me what you are good at because this real estate company needs to be top-notch notch" Lucy sighed sounding irritated almost annoyed that I was talking to her; These humans and their 'emotions' are so complicated but why does it need to be like that? Why do they have this ability to have emotions? While my species was born without emotions... It's very odd "I'm very efficient, punctual, I can lift most heavy things, I can do the most tedious tasks-" I got interrupted as Lucy spoke "Stop right there, I have one question, are you good with computers or printers? Or sorting for that matter? And Doing errands?" as I looked at her "I'm not good at computers or printers." I looked away From Lucy to look at Sasha, I could almost read her mind... she seemed stressed.

"Well, you could make a good errand boy... which I desperately need.... You're hired Thomas" Lucy smiled but it did not seem like a friendly smile on her face.

"Now as the first order as an Errand boy, I want you to grab me a coffee with two creams and two sugars and make sure it's medium-sized!" Lucy looked at me then suddenly turned to Sasha "Why are YOU still here?! Get to work!" Lucy yelled as Sasha nodded and ran off Then Lucy gave me about ten dollars to get her coffee "Get to it, Errand boy! I'm a busy woman and I don't have all day!!" She walked off as I finally sped and walked away... I've been in harsher working conditions... I looked at the money... hmm it's odd Why does it have a human's face on it? The currency on my planet had no such thing, it just had the number of what it's worth... how odd...

I went outside of the office building and went to a nearby coffee shop... it was an extensive line... I looked around smelled the air a bit and found another coffee shop just across the street As I ran across suddenly one person in a car yelled "WATCH WHERE YOU ARE GOING!" and then drove off.... I was crossing the street... You should have looked before driving...I walked further down passing by these coffee shops with long lines until I saw one that had no line I walked in and there were a few people inside but no one in line... I walked to the cashier as he looked up at me "One Medium coffee... two cream and two sugars..." I finally spoke as he looked at me up and down "Uhm all right Sir... Can I get a name for the Order?" I stare at him "Thomas." I finally said after a few seconds.

"Alright," said the cashier writing the order down and handing it to someone else as I sat down at one of the tables. Coffee... I have something like that on my planet... it would keep you awake for hours on end... I wonder if this planet's coffee is almost as strong as mine... then suddenly I heard them yell "Tomꞻs??" What? Then everyone was silent then they called that strange name once again "Tomꞻs?!" Everyone then looked at one another then the guy who was yelling pointed at me "Hey you did you order a medium coffee with two creams and two sugars?!" I looked at him finally saying "Yes but. How did you misspell Thomas??" Everyone kind of laughed at that then some random girl said a strange remark "I bet he didn't graduate kindergarten with that kind of spelling!!" Everyone burst out laughing then the man who misspelled 'Thomas' responded "Oh how funny, we are taking your crazy orders!! I don't have time to learn how to spell your names!!" he seemed mad as everyone laughed, I grabbed the coffee then I Left quickly... why did those humans laugh at him?
