*Tris Pov*

I. Hate. School.

I've always hated school since I was little, I was never the type of kid to be happy to go to school for the first time in elementary school.

It was more like, I'll go only for lunch and recess but now it's like ten times worse with half of my homework overdue, go straight to class and I have to take care of a child.

These are the times when I regret skipping nap time in Kindergarten or the breaks but it's too late now.

It has been two weeks since our date and the first week I was in a state of full tranquility and the second week once I came back to work was hell.

Swaders is closing right now due to the weather getting colder only the go karts but everything else is still fine.

Things at Dicks Sporting Goods is running smoothly, everything except Eric my boss. He is really pissing me off.

Classes are ending up now after exams and we will finish our next semester after winter break.

Once I finish my exams I will be able to qualify for a level one job dealing in financial services.

Turn up.

I finish up my last little bit of notes in class and shut my notebook and start packing up, if I don't leave now I will officially be late to work.

I skim my way through the class and nod at the professor and he nods and I leave the room walking to my car.

I place my things in the backseat and get in the driver side placing my keys in the engine and I plug in my phone from my AUX cord and the first song that comes on from my iTunes Radio is Fantasy.

I pull out of my parking spot and head my way to work.

Once I get there and clock in I barely made it by a minute. I place my things in the locker and I pull my hair into a messy bun and I put on my vest.

I walk out and I start pricing items.

"Excuse me?" A voice says and I look up and I see a group of guys smirking. Half of them are looking at my butt and the others at my chest.

"Yes," I say fighting the urge to roll my eyes and slap them all are.

"Do you sell baseballs and bats?" He asks looking into my eyes smiling, just as he finished looking at my chest.

"It is a sporting place so I sure hope so. Second aisle on the left side." I say and they nod and thank me walking past me to go get their items.

"Be nicer to the customers Tris." Eric says grabbing my shoulders.

"Fine." I say snatching my shoulders back making his large, rough hands fall to his side.

I walk away going to the back and start pricing and tagging the North Face Jackets.

Once I am finished I work on the cashier and then I start organizing items and then it's my break.

I go to the car and call Tobias.

"Hello?" He says and theirs giggling in the background.

"Who is that?" I ask hoping it's not some girl he invited over.

"Brooke she just realized the she likes smashed strawberries." Tobias says laughing once there's more laughter.

"Aw, please record it. It's a shorter shift I get off at eight instead of nine or ten." I say
