Robyn POV
1246pm

"Is it always this packed?",I asked sarcastically. "Ha ha ha very funny, you know..maybe I don't need a knew employee", Future said. "Oh Future calm down, I was only joking", I said.

"I know", he replied. "So now that I kind of know what to do, you don't have to come down tomorrow, I can handle it",I said.

"Are you sure?", he asked. "Yeah I'll be fine if not I'll text you", I said. "Yeah for sure", he said.

"So what are you doing for the rest of the afternoon?", I asked. "Nothing really, just chill out with the guys", he said. "Oh will Jimmy be there?", I said.

"Ooo I see you", he said in a very annoying way. "Stop it was only a question", I said clearly blushing. "Sure, a question that singles out one single guy which happens to be B", He said.

"Whatever", I said. "I think you guys would be great together to be honest", He said. "Maybe, but it wouldn't matter. Anyways, if you do hang with him just tell him I say hi", I said.

"Oh, I'll tell him more than that. I'll tell him how red your face got when I mentioned him", he said while mimicking my face. "Stooop", I said as I playfully tugged onto his arm.

"Alright, alright I will for now but, ONCE you two get together. Your gonna wish I bugged you about it before so I would have bottled it up inside", he said smirking. "Yeah yeah, that's If", I said.

"Hm, we'll see about that. Aye it's past one already so you can go now. I'm just gonna clean up the ticket or cashier area and then bounce", he said.

"Oh okay, I'll go now then. See you later", I said as I grabbed my things. "Late", he said as I walked out.

I decided to take a walk around town  making sure I  stayed close to my trailer. I noticed many of the stores where closed and full of street art.

I liked street art that wasn't just a bunch of gang related words and more of the colorful art or murals. As I continued walking I thought about the tv I hadn't set up yet.

I knew I had the tools to program it, I just didn't feel like it. I kept going back and forth with myself in my head until I finally decided that was my goal for the day.

I will set up that tv.

Later that day........

457pm

It turns out setting up a tv was easy once you had the instructions. I thought I kept them in the box but they weren't there.
I finally found them on the floor in my bedroom. Why? I don't know.

After finally getting it set up I tried scrolling through the channels. No luck, I hadn't programmed the cable service yet.

The only thing I got was a very blurry Cartoon Network. It was good and I actually watched it for about twenty minutes before realizing what I was doing.

I then got up and decided I'd make myself some dinner. I grabbed some things out of the fridge and made a grilled cheese.

Then I chopped up some fruit for a fruit salad. I grabbed myself some water and sat back down and watched my blurry, staticky Cartoon Network.

After I finished eating, I put the dishes in the sink. Thank god I didn't dirty so many dishes today.
I didn't feel like doing the dishes and decided to put them to soak which is a great excuse for leaving them there until the morning.

I then went to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. I grabbed a make up wipe first to wipe off the makeup. After that I washed my face. Finally I brushed my teeth and headed to my room.

I changed into my pajamas and got into bed. It was a little past eight which was early for me. I didn't know what to do in order to pass time.

I got up and decided to sit outside just for a little to catch some air. I took my book with me and a cup of water.

I set the glass of water down beside the top step of the trailer and sat down on the middle step as I leaned against the rail.

I opened my book and began reading. It was kind of chilly but my fuzzy pajamas were warm enough for me.

I took a sip of water as I continued to read. After a while of constantly reading the same line over and over I closed the book.

I kept thinking about jimmy and future. I kept thinking about everything that happened yesterday. I just wanted to remember everything.

I was glad I had made friends so soon. I was also glad I got a job with one of them. Future was a great co-worker.

As my thoughts kept flooding my mind I kept looking at the sky. Occasionally sipping water from my cup. The starts where do beautiful.

One day I'd wanna get some tattoos on me. Maybe even some starts on my back or my arm.

I remember my momma always saying how tattoos are bad and no one would want to hire me with them. I always told her I'd find a job that would accept me and my tattoos.

I never knew what I wanted to be. I still don't know. I know I love music which is why I'm happy working at The Shelter. There's plenty of music that goes on there.

I kept thinking about Future's words. How he said I had a good voice. I thought about how I
could be a singer.

There are many artist out there with tattoos that Hollywood accepts.
That could be my career someday.

Someday, I'll have a good full time job. Until then, I'm happy working at The Shelter.

With that final thought I went back inside and got into bed. My mind finally drifted into sleep with my last thought on washing the dishes tomorrow morning.
