Riiiiiiing
I jolted upright, looking to my left and slammed the snooze button on my alarm. I didn't want to go to work today. Facing my new assistant was not on my top ten list right now. I'd face him tomorrow. Slowly, I pushed my covers back and went to the bathroom to shower. The water was way too cold, so I cranked it up, only met by my skin getting burned. This shower is ridiculous some mornings. Finally I settled with cold water and cleaned myself off as fast as I could, wrapping a warm towel around me once I was out.
I ran my comb through my hair, untangling strands of hair one at a time. I then put on a little bit of cologne and left the bathroom, bumping into my father.
"Almost ready for work?" He said, following me into the kitchen. The jug of water was out, so I poured myself some.
"Oh, I-uh, I don't think I should go, I don't feel good." I said, lying. Faking a cough, his facial expression got serious.
"I know you're faking it Vic. You just don't want to meet your new assistant. Don't worry, he's very nice and won't bug you too much. It's only a few months and then he'll be out of your life forever." I groaned, stomping my foot like a three year old would.
"Can't I just go in tomorrow? Please?" I begged.
"The answer is no, now get dressed." With another groan, I stormed off to my room, throwing on a nice top and pants, topping it off with a tie. Still highly pissed off, I went back to the kitchen and put on my shoes, wasting no time getting in my car and heading to the office. Even though I didn't want to meet this Kellin guy, I even more so didn't want to see my dad.
Rolling up to my familiar parking spot, I stopped, grabbed my keys, and headed inside. I was greeted by small hello's, which I exchanged, but no new people were here. Maybe they cancelled? My last hope was broken when I heard a car door shut, and when I turned around, there stood a unfamiliar girl, walking towards the door. I quickly headed upstairs to my office. Once inside, I shut my door quietly and got to work. If I finished quick, this would be over faster, right? No, that's a stupid thought Vic, you gotta work until four. I was so lost in my thoughts for ages that I barely heard the small knock on my door. It was either my dad or Kellin. I got up after a few discouraging thoughts, and opened the door. It was my dad.
"Listen Vic, Kellin will be up here in a few minutes and I need you to promise me you won't be mean to him or that you won't ignore him. I will not hesistate to drop your pay if you disobey, got it?" He said strictly. I was actually a little intimidated, so I just nodded.
"Okay, got it." He patted my shoulder, then headed back downstairs.
My hand ran through my semi-wet hair as I made my way to my desk. I had all my papers in order and I had nothing for Kellin to do. Shit, this will be fun. As I was thinking about what he could do, there was yet another knock on my door. So, I got up, trudged across the room and opened it. I looked down, well up actually, to meet a boy who didn't look a day older than me. He had swayed, medium length black hair and big green eyes. If I couldn't say it any better, he was attractive.
"Hi," He said with a sly smile. "I'm Kellin," His hand reached out to meet mine.
"Vic...so you're my new assistant?" I said awkwardly. I'm not a very good socializer.
"Uh, yeah."
"Come in," I stated, opening the door more and pointed to some chairs. He took a seat, which I did as well, across from him. "Before we start work, I just wanna know some stuff about you." I probably sounded creepy, but I didn't want to know nothing about my assistant.
