I woke up today surrounded by blackness, the small morning sun devoured the process. Being me I have this struggle everyday. Feeling empty wasting away in my room alone watching youtube videos and downloading stupid songs illegally onto my phone. Even though I still have a band, a job and somewhat of a life, I would rather stay inside my room and sleep all day. Unfortunately I have to make money so you see my problem. Thinking my dumb thoughts I walk to the shower and do my daily routine such as brushing my teeth, hair and washing my face. After dancing in the shower and nearly slipping 12 times I finally get out to put my long dark hair into a towel on top of my head. Slowly and carefully I put makeup on. Finishing my hair after doing my makeup I change and quickly leave my apartment to go to hell, I mean work.

 I dreadfully make my legs walk down the stairs on this cool Monday morning in Colorado down to my car. Finally getting to work  I start the day with hate like every other day, It’s not my job that is the problem, it’s the people. If you couldn’t tell I am not a very big people person, I just hate douche bag people (more than half the world.) Walking inside the movie theater to get my nametag I bump into someone. 

“Sorry” I mutter softly. 

“Hey it’s totally fine, it was my fault running into a beautiful lady like you.” I hear a voice I know too well .

“If I saw it was you I wouldn’t have even bothered say sorry, William.” I say with a disgust in my tone.

“We all know you want me Ashley.”  William says with a smirk.

“In your dreams.” I spat 

“Asshole” I mutter to myself so that he couldn’t hear 

See this is what I mean, people like him make me want to just ignore the world. Even just flirting makes me want to puke let alone talking to guys. Now you’re probably wondering ’why the heck would you want to work somewhere where you have to talk to people.’ Well you see my parents didn’t have any money to start me with so I started on my own with this lousy job. So I really can’t afford to loose this.

Getting into the ticket booth I wait, and wait, and wait.

When the sun goes down that’s when the people actually come out.

 *A Couple of Hours Later*

“ Two tickets for ‘Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’” A boy asked with a girl attached around the poor kid.

“Sure” I say with my fakest voice I give every time I go here. I quickly give the tickets to the couple and see them head off into the theater walking cutely together. I’m guessing cute is what they aim for.

I hear a bunch of yelling from my left. Being nosey I look over a see a couple of guys yelling at each other, one with a red hat, another with really long blonde hair, three others that I can’t really see from my booth. I have no clue why but I want them to come to my booth out of the others. Luckily my wish came true surprisingly as I see them walk to my booth. As they come closer I can fully look at all of there faces.

The one with the red hat has brown hair and is laughing at one of the others. The one that is making the red hat dude laugh is in a beanie and has glasses, also dark hair. The three others seem to be annoyed with the two guys. One of them has that long blonde hair and is pretty cute, but little did I know I haven’t seen cutest yet out of the group. Looking that the guy next to Fabio, he has brown hair and a tattoo with many colors that goes up his arm. 

Right when I was about to look at the last dude the hat guy says “hello” breaking my thoughts 

“Hi what movie would you guys like to see?” I ask very nicely. Wow I didn’t even know I could be nice to strangers.

“Yes can we have five tickets to ‘The Purge: Anarchy’?” red hat guy says

“Yes you can” I give the guy the tickets after he paid. I couldn’t help but glance that the last guy.

I look over and see him looking at me awkwardly we both make eye contact and look away.

I only got a glimpse of his face before he walked away to catch up with his friends, but he has dark hair and very cute rounded eyes. 

Ew what am I saying.

This is gross.

I just met the guy, wait I just saw the guy and there is no chance in the world that I will ever see him in my life. Get this kid out of your head.
