Ch 2- Diggs' Diner

*John's POV*

The morning was quiet and dark. The birds outside chirped their morning song in a soothing and quiet tone. John almost fell back to sleep before he realized that he had work today.

'Aw shit!' John thought hurrying out of bed. 'I've got around half an hour to get to the diner, i hope it doesn't take long!' John thought looking at a clock and then turning to the closet.

John put on a light pink shirt, and white pants with thin black stripes going down. He put on an apron that only went from the waist down and picked up his bag.

He tried to be as quiet as possible while dressing and hurrying out of the room. 'I have 25 minutes to get to the other side of town, I can't get there on time like this!' John panicked looking at his watch.

He started to take a sort-of short cut and ran as fast as he could. 'I wish I could just transform, but I can't do that in front of all these humans!' John thought finally seeing the diner. He quickly got to the back door and unlocked it, setting down his back and checking himself in.

'Whew.... 3 minutes to spare...' John thought as he sat on a chair to catch his breath. He stared up at the ceiling remembering he forgot to leave Alex a note that he wouldn't be around all day.

'Well maybe he can just find Laf and Herc.' Laurens thought.

About a minute later someone else came through a door, but it wasn't the back door, they were probably leaving a shift or already on it. Lauren's took a quick glance and saw the infamous Thomas Jefferson walking his way across the room.

'Shit I forgot he works here....' Laurens thought nearly hitting himself in the forehead. He heard grumbling from Jefferson as he walked by, paying him no mind.

'Strange.... He'd usually try to beat me until I gave him all my pocket money.' Laurens thought. But Laurens quickly noticed the bags under Jefferson's eyes and the fact that he looked he was nearly going to fall on his face, right into deep sleep.

"I'm dealing with you at another time, Laurens..." Jefferson spoke checking out and heading out the back door.

John sat there a moment longer, but soon got up and got to work. He picked up a notepad and pen, ready to start writing down peoples' orders at the diner.

The day seemed to not be very eventful, except for five people who were a group of friends all together to celebrate winning a game. John felt glad it wasn't anything crazy that day, but he did expect Laf and Herc to show up and one point.

And as if fate had heard him, Laf and Herc came through the doors, but this time with someone else. He saw it was Alex and he went to the break room immediately.

'Why the hell does the cute boy have to come here during work? If i make one tiny mistake my face is gonna be red the entire time!' John thought in slight panic. He took a quick peek out the door and saw the three sit down. Laf and Herc had a smirk on their faces, and it looked like Herc was looking at him, as if noticing he had basically ran into the break room.

John quickly closed the door again and took a deep breath to regain his composure.

'It's ok John. Just act like you always do at work. Whew.......' John thought.

He walked out of the break room and pulled up a new page on his notepad. He walked over to the table with Laf, Herc, and Alex sitting at it. He pulled out the pen from his shirt pocket and looked at the three. He gave a quick glare toward Herc and Laf before asking what they wanted.

"Hello, welcome to Diggs' Diner. So what would you like?" John asked.

Laf was the first to answer. "I'll have the spicy cheeseburger and a vanilla milkshake, mon ami." He said, giving me a wink and darting his eyes to Alex.
