The Gather

Guy pov:

I heard the clock go off. I wanted to continue sleeping so I tried to turn it off without moving much. My arm couldn't reach the nightstand so I had to get up completely to turn it off. It's already Saturday, so it was for the best that I didn't sleep more because I needed to clean my flat for tonight.

Yesterday in orientation we met the teachers, they told us about their way of working, how they like to have our jobs delivered and some other things. It was much shorter than the day before, so after that we went with the guys I met on Thursday to a nearby fast food place and ate.

After turning off the alarm, I brushed my teeth and cooked “breakfast lunch" because it was 2 o’clock. I turned the radio on, when suddenly, one of my favorite songs came out, Sir duke by Stevie Wonder. I love how energetic it is. While I finished cooking the scrambled eggs, I boiled some sausages and saved the leftovers for Alex.

When I finished eating and cleaning the dishes, I saw that it was a quarter past 3. I need to buy stuff for tonight, so I put on a dark green knitted sweater, picked my reusable bag and headed to the grocery store.

Once there, I headed to the junk section and grabbed a big bag of chips, some peanuts and 3 bags of nachos, because I love them. Then, I walked to the cash register and there she was. Joan, the cashier that I have a small crush on. I’ll finally ask her out.

“Hi Joan, how are you doing?” I said, as I put the things I picked for her to scan. She had a small smile and was lightly blushed, did I cause that? What are you saying Rupert.

“Fine, a little busy, but nothing out of ordinary,” She answered scanning everything “the total will be 12£”
I grabbed a 20£ bill and handed it to her. This is my opportunity.“By any chance are you free tomorrow afternoon?” I said with a slightly shaken voice
“Yes I am, why are you asking?” she replied, giving me the change, with an arched eyebrow.

“Maybe we can go to the cafe and have some coffee or whatever you want, what do you say?” There is no way back now
“Of course, why not?” She accepted!I can't believe it! “Come pick me up tomorrow around 5pm here”
“Perfect, see you tomorrow” I said while grabbing my things and then exited the grocery store.

I went to my flat and I put everything in the cabinets and proceeded to clean the house. I started with the living room, I threw away some packages of food that were on the table, put in their place the books and magazines that were lying everywhere and organized the sofa pillows. The bathroom was already cleaned, my roommate did it, so I jumped to the kitchen, I just needed to clean the dishes Alex left.

Suddenly my phone started to vibrate, I checked it, it was Phil calling me.

“Hello Guy, what are you doing?” He said

“Hi Phil, I just finished cleaning my flat for tonight. What happened?” I asked intrigued on why'd he called

“Oh, I was calling to see if me and Chris could arrive a little before to your house to help you organize, because I “made” the plan” he said

I didn't care about Phil but Chris is kind of weird, he has really long hair, and is always talking about music, but he's a really nice person, so that kind of counteracts it.

“Yeah, no problem, when are you coming?” I asked a little bit annoyed for the change of plans

“We will be there at a quarter to 8” he replied

“Perfect, see you then” I said and then ended the call

“Alex, Phil and Chris are coming at 7:45” I shouted to tell him
