Your Not So Typical Love Story

Chapter One - How It All Started

Chapter One

How It All Started

I watched as the guy leaves slowly towards the exit,if he thinks I would pity him,he is sadly mistaken.This is the fifth time some idiot came up to me with a handful of expired vouchers.What the hell was I thinking applying for a job in a supermarket,I should've worked at McDonalds.

Today was not my day.I still did'nt receive my paycheck and my car has got a flat tire on the way from work.Today is one of those days where I question my life.

"Lizzy"

I heard a voice call my name.I already can tell who called,Ivory is the only person who calls me "Lizzy" even though she knows well enough that I am called "Leslie".It's ridiculous and she knows it.

Ivory taps my shoulder."New stocks came in,and Maria wants you to sort them out."

"Do I have to?" I groaned like a five year old when told to go to bed.

She nodded slowly with a smug grin on her face.I groaned again throwing my head back lazily.Ivory pointed to the boxes of dog food in the corner.

There was quite a lot in the boxes.I doubt I would sort them all out in time for my break,not to mention I procrastinate like crazy.I would probably find the Discovery Channel more entertaining than organizing a bunch of dog food.

Tiptoeing, I hopelessly tried to reach the top shelf. "I'm not even that goddamn short" I muttered under my breath.

I grab a stool from the supply closet and placed it on the floor.I start stacking cans on top of the shelf with no care,I just wanted to get this done.I can't believe I have been doing this for the last hour and a half.I could be at home by now,watching tv while devouring a tub of Ben and Jerry's.

I always wondered what dog food tastes like............should I taste it? No quit it,Leslie.You have to stop procrastinating....Plus I'd get fired. Yes,Leslie Quinn, The girl who got fired for tasting dog food.

It's one of those moments again where I completely start losing my mind and start drifting away to lala land.I'm really not that surprised that I am having one of those moments again.

While still thinking deeply in my thoughts into hell knows what, I dropped the can.I got a mini heart attack as I hear a loud thud then followed by another.

I shut my eyes hoping there wasn't a huge mess on the floor, but instead to my horror I found a boy lying on the floor,knocked out cold.Also to make it worse,he doesn't appear to be breathing.
