365 Days

Chapter 3- Bucket List

"There are two great days in a person's life- the day we were born and the day we discover why." -William Barclay

I want to sleep in. Ugh. I get up out of bed and head to the restroom to brush my teeth, dress, and brush my nappy brown hair.
Red, brown, black, green, blue? Ugh! So many beanies, so less time! I grunt and snatch my dark red beanie and head outside. I walk to my part time job and sigh. When I get to the end of the side walk, my legs begin to shake furiously and my heart rate picks up. My mind automatically goes to the night of the accident.

Bam!
"Ouch." I say and stand up and rub my butt. I hear a laugh and a man say,
"Sorry!"
I look up and see a boy with messy blonde hair and blue eyes. I know this guy.

"Andy?!" I say.
"Quinn!"
"I knew we would meet again!" We both say at the same time. We laugh and he kicks his skate board to his side and holds it by his hand.
"Sorry for bumping into you. I was practicing some new hot skills to show off to some girls at the park." He says and winks.
"It's ok." I say.
"Well, I have to go! Time to show off my skills!" He says and flips the skateboard down and lands on it. I laugh and continue walking to my part time job.

Ding! Ding!

"I'm here!" I say and get my clothes. I head back in the changing room and change. Before I could close my locker, a hand slams it shut and it makes a loud noise.

Veronica!? What is she doing here?!
She leans closer and hisses (well to me she does) and says,
"I hope you had fun with Parker last night. Thanks to you I got ditched by him." She says and glares at me.
I mumbke under my breath,
"It's not my fault he finds you annoying."
Her eyes widen and she raises her hand.
Thwack!
My head jerks back by the sudden smack and my right cheek begins to sting. I glare at her and say,
"What are you doing here Veronica? Are you just here to bully me like highschool?" I spout out, now frustrated.
"Actually, yes and no. From today onwards I work here. I hope we become good friends, co-worker." She says. Great. Just, great.

My day at my job consisted of Veronica slinging flour in my face, spilling things on me, and spouting insults in my face. She turned my most favorite work place into a nightmare. Thanks a lot, Veronica.

I head into my room and sling myself on my bed. Sooo soft. I missed you my baby. I say to my bed and rub the side of it with my hand. I roll off the bed slowly and land on my feet and head into the restroom to get ready for bed. I wish Parker was at work today. Maybe then he'd be able to control his girlfriend.

I finish brushing my teeth and hop on my bed and hear a ding on my phone. I check it and see a message from Parker.

Parker: Heard Veronica started her job there at the bakery. I wish I were there to help you out and keep her form pestering you but I caught a cold :'( I'll try being there tommorrow! Btw I broke up with Veronica but she just doesn't understand and won't stop pestering me and I'll get her to stop. Swear. Anyways, goodnight! :)

I sigh and hop on my bed once again. My eyes slide over to my desk in my room and and I begin walking to it and open the drawer and get out my bucket list from it. I have an idea!

*Next day*
Today is my day off, which is every Saturday and Sunday, and I decide to go to the park to see if Andy is there skating. I spot him doing some cool tricks on his skate board and whistle.

"Looking good, wheels!" I shout and he looks in my direction. I hear nearby girls giggling and looking at Andy as they walk by. I smile at him as he walks over and I say,

"How would you like to help this girl fulfill her bucket list?"
