BAS - LIVE FOR: THEY OUT HERE SELLING PEACE SIGNS, YOU BELIEVED IT. I DON'T

Michael's alarm rang for at least two minutes straight before the annoying sound finally made him get up and even after that the angel boy sat on his bed and stared at nothing for a good forty seconds. His hand curled up into a fist and he proceeded to rub his eyes asif it would wake him up, he had to be at the coffee shop in two hours for a job interview but his whole body ached.

Ashton had texted him the location and even offered to drive him, Michael politely declined saying he would just take the bus which would give him a bit more time to prepare. Barista wasn't really Michael's ideal job but it was an opportunity and he would take all he could get after all he just wanted to get this over with as quick as possible.

After taking a quick shower Michael put his clothes on as fast as he could and grabbed money for the bus before leaving the house not without putting his phone inside his pocket first. 

During the twenty minutes inside the bus Michael tried his best to rehearse his every word carefully, it was hard enough for him to attempt a job interview he didn't want to fail just so he had to do it again. His heart seemed to beat faster and faster as his feet dragged him to the door of the coffee shop, it was small and it didn't seem to have much clients maybe a few regular ones everyday.

When he opened the door a strong scent of coffee beans surrounded him making him feel cosy and warm, a little bell that stood above the door rang which made the girl behind the counter look up. 

"Uh, I'm here for the job interview?"

"Oh, Michael? Ashton said you'd come around today. The boss is not around so I'll show you around and teach you stuff." She had long light brown hair that was tied up and kind brown eyes that ironically reminded him of coffee beans. 

"Don't I have to try out or anything?" Michael asked quietly not sure if he was using the correct term.

"No, not really. Normally, you would have to be interview by the boss and all but this is a bit of a family business and we were needing someone however we didn't want to just put an add out there or anything and then Ash mentioned you and boom, here you are!" 

"Oh-what if I'm like not good enough?"

She pondered it for a second before answering. "Then you'll get fired." Michael's eyes widen and she giggled. "But don't worry, it's not hard since we don't have many fancy drinks around here. You'll get the hang of it." She patted his shoulder gently as she led him to the other side of the counter. "I'm Teresa by the way."

"I'm Michael, oh-but you already knew that." Michael wanted to slap himself, already being cringe worthy on his first day if this could even be considered his first day. 

Teresa cracked some jokes to make Michael comfortable and even made him some iced tea while teaching him and showing him all the machines, it was much more simple than he originally had in mind and he would get the hang of it fast. 

He also hoped he could befriend Teresa since his only friend was Ashton and he seemed to never be available, always busy working on computer stuff, what was that even supposed to mean? Oh and there was also Calum but Michael didn't consider him a friend but his heart was still heavy with guilt for slamming the door on his face, the angels were probably judging him and agreeing Michael had given in to his darker side. He felt the need to find Calum and apologize but he had no idea how since all he knew about the intimidating male was that he dealt with guns and showed up at his door unexpectedly.
