Misfit Geniuses

First Day of Work and a New Friend

Ally's P.O.V.

I wake up earlier then normal, I'm not sure if it's due to the time change or the excitement I feel for my first day of work. When I was younger I thought about opening a cafe, and I've decided if the whole musician thing doesn't work out, I'll figure out a way to open a cafe. Who knows maybe I'll do both. These thoughts fill my head as I follow through my morning of showering, brushing my teeth, drying my hair and finding my shoes. I kinda tend to lose things easily. Soon I'm all dressed and ready.

I Check the clock on my phone, 7:15. I have forty-five minuets till I have to be at work. I make coffee and grab a Quakers Chewy Chocolate Chip Granola Bar. I eat it as the coffee brews. I write a quick note saying I start work today because I'm sure my friends forgot already.I hurridly drink my coffee, grab my skateboard, and head to work. The cafe is only a few blocks away so I see it pointless to drive.

I Smile as I reach my destination. I put my board in my back and walk in the door. Its a small cute homey place. It has indoor and outdoor seating, cute plants by the window, and a small stage on the inside.  The owner smiles when she sees me, "Hello dear, you can put your bag under the cash register and grab an apron, pen, and notepad too." I nod and do as I'm told. The Manager is a sweet old lady named Miss Jennifer. She's the kind of old lady who always smells like vanilla and you want to hug, she's a little bit on the plump side, but she's not fat.

Soon people start coming in and talking like they've known me forever. It's the kind of place I always wanted to run. After a little while Sam and Liam walk in and sit at a table. I quickly walk over to see what they want. "This is a cute little shop," Sam says leaning on the table. "I'll have a bagel, because I have to go," Liam adds in. I nod and write down his order, "Sam do you know or do you need more time?"

"You know me Ally Cat." I nod, "I'll be right back." I go and get Liam his bagel. Miss Jennifer stops me while I'm getting his Bagel,"Are those your friends?" I nod and in an instant she makes her way over to them. They soon start laughing and I take Liam the bagel. "She looked like a lost little puppy, her dad and her both," Miss Jennifer says. I blush,"Here's your bagel."

"You didn't tell us you found this place because you were lost, "I wasn't lost...my Dad was." This causes the three of them to laugh. Liam soon stands and we walk to the cash register and he pays for his food. It feels like Sam orders half the menu when I take her order. "Hungry are we?" I smirk. She replies,"What else is new." I smile, I think I'm gonna like it here.

Liam's P.O.V.

I smile and drive to work, I'm excited to meet the kids today.Apperantly I have an assistant coach today. One Direction is on their 2 year break and Louis wanted to help with soccer so he chose Winter Park because it 'seems like a nice place.' So I'll secretly be co-coaching with Lou. The boys are trying to stay 'low-key' while on break.

I pull up and see Lou getting along with the kids. I walk over just in time to get hit with another soccer ball. "Oh, mate I'm so sorry are you alright?" I nod. I stand and address the kids, "Hi everyone." Some wave, some say 'hi,' and some just stare. I see a large variety of ages in the kids. Lou and I start them all on drills to see what we have, skill wise, and we're quite impressed. This is going to be a fabulous soccer season.

Sammi's P.O.V.

After I eat and pay for my food I walk home.Soon I find myself in the coolness of our home.  I've never really liked the heat all that much, yet here I am...In Florida. I decide to call that place Ally told me about. After a Fourty-Five minuet phone call with a girl there named Marcy. She's nice, but really shy...How is she a receptionist? I go and get changed for my interview.

I Drive Gage, my truck, to the building that's forty minuets away. I start to feel a little nervous as I pull up. I walk in and Marcy is everything I thought she would look like. Natural redhead, freckles, petite. She smiles, "You must be Sammi." I nod. Miss Veronica will be with you in a moment." She says as she leads me to a room down the hallway. She leaves me and the door opens revealing a woman about my height with perfect, wavy auburn hair. "Miss Baxter I presume." I nod. "Please come in."

We both sit down. "Tell me a little bit about yourself." I nod. "I'm 18, I love food, I just moved to Florida 3 days ago-"

"Wait," she says," Three days ago, where from"

"A small town in Iowa that no one has ever heard of and no one ever will." She nods slowly, "Why do you want to work here?"

"Ever since the 8th Grade I realized what was important to me, something that I really felt compelled to stand up for...to stand up against...Physical and mental illness stigma. It's somethng that really hits home with me, you might say. And When my friend told me about this place I knew this is where I was supposted to be...I knew it wasn't a chance happening. Things like that don't happen on accident..." There's a long silence.

"You're right, but I'm afraid we won't have an opening for three weeks, but in three weeks you will have a position here." She smiles. "I think we'll have the perfect place for you in our publicity department."

I don't think I've ever smiled as widely as I have in that moment, "Thank you so much, I'll see you in three weeks."

I walk out to see Marcy smiling widely, "YAY! I'm so happy for you!" I smile, "Thank you, You should come over for dinner and meet my friends sometime."

"Really?!? I would love that." She reminds me of Ally. "Of course. I'll let you know times that work for us and we'll plan it all out." With that I went home, My what a crazy few days it's been.
