E.T.

Chapter 1

I walked back and forth checking the clock each time I turned towards the chimney. Today was my first day at my job as a vet and my friend was late to pick me up. Where is Jason? I thought to myself as I saw it was 5:34. I was supposed to be there by 6 and it was a 10-minute ride to get there. Finally, I heard a car honk outside my small house. I quickly grabbed everything I needed and rushed out into the car and nearly screamed go. My friend Jason was one of those stereotypical jocks who have blonde hair and bright blue eye but bats for the other team. As for me, I have light brown hair and brown chocolate eyes. Once I got comfortable in the car with my seat belt on I asked Jason why he was late. "Well sweet Mindy, I was on a hot date last night and..." He stated smiling mischievously.

Before he could finish I yelled out, covering my ears, "Nevermind! I don't think I want to know."

"Thought so," he said laughing while looking at me for a second and then looking back at the road. Knowing him he probably woke up next to the guy and hearing him say they had sex was grossing her out. Especially since my love life is nonexistent. I rolled my eyes. The rest of the ride we listened to music.

He stopped the car at Friends Vet. My heart started racing. What if I mess up and I get fired on my first day? I guessed Jason saw the anxiety in my eyes because he grabbed my hand and squeezed it reassuringly. "You're gonna do great, Mindy, so don't worry." I smiled thanking him.

"I'll see you at 3 pm." I said opening the door and taking a deep breath and letting it go slowly. Excitement surged throughout my body as I walked through the doors.

Thanks guys for starting to read my book. I will try to update late Fridays or early Saturdays and if I can't I'll just tell you guys. Word count 371. And I'll be sure to make it longer but, for right now please vote, comment and follow.
