Wes's POV
"Oooh girl, you're shinin'. Like a Fifth Avenue diamond. And they don't make 'em like they used to. You're never goin' outta style!"
My alarm blared promptly at 11:00 p.m. Time to go to work. I grabbed my keys and walked the short distance to the ShopNFill, where I worked odd hours to make money.
"Hey Mr. Joe," I called as I clocked in.
"Oh, hey there, Wesley! How ya doin?" he yelled from behind the counter.
"Good. "
"How's Ga Tech?"
"Hard. "
"How's your girlfriend?"
"Nonexistent. " This was how our conversation went each time I came in to work. I was a Freshman at Georgia Tech. I didn't have the patience for a steady girlfriend. and honestly, I didn't want one. I had flings; keep the girl around while she was entertaining, then let her go. That was the rule I lived by. Between school and work, I didn't have time for a girlfriend. Mr. Joe's loud voice pulled me out of my reverie.
"Allright Wesley. Zachary will be here by 5 to relieve you. And you know the rule: no girls in the back room. I'll see you later, boy. "
I nodded seriously and took my position behind the cash register. It's going to be another long night.

"'Sup Wes!?" my bestfriend Zac nearly screamed as he walked into the gas station.
"Hey Zac," I replied before yawning. It was 5 o'clock on a gorgeous Saturday morning. Unfortunately, I wouldn't get to enjoy the temporarily nice weather. I was too tired to even keep my eyes open.
Zac seemed to notice because he said, "Dude. Go home. Get some sleep before your shift tonight. And maybe we can study for Chem after I get off of work?" I zoned out as he rambled on until the tone of his voice caught me off guard. "--Cynthia's neice, and dayyyum, she's hot!"
"Wait, who? Your brother's girlfriend Cynthia? She has a neice?" I questioned. I should have been paying attention.
"Dude. We went over this. You should have been paying attention." Called it. "Yes, Will's girlfriend Cynthia has a neice. She's 17 and hot. And she's moving in with Cynthia. Got it?" Zac finished, sounding peeved at my lack attention.
A new girl, huh? Sounds fun. And then I asked the most important question, "What's her name?" Zac replied with a knowing grin.
"Lorraine Lautner. "
Yay! So now we've met Wes! They haven't met each other, but that's coming soon.
