Chapter 3- First Day

‘Nova, here I come’ Carter thought to himself, walking into the building in his work clothes.
You could tell he was nervous just by the way he was walking, sure he got the job but he could mess all that up easily.
‘I wonder if that Lizzie girl got the job, then I’d already have a friend.” He chuckles to himself and walks down to the garage where he’ll be working on cars for most of the day. Carter immediately starts working once he gets there, not wanting to her in trouble on his first day.

/Lunch/

Carter walks into the cafeteria and buys lunch before sitting down at a table for two, alone. He begins eating while looking at his phone, this being the only chance he has to. Suddenly he looks up to see Lizzie smiling at him.
“You got the job!” Carter says excitedly while setting his phone down on the table. “So did you!” Lizzie says softly and chuckles happily.
“This is great, now I actually have someone to talk to.” Carter continues eating while watching her. “Yah, I’m glad I got it too, also because I need the money” Lizzie laughs and also eats.
The two talk for a while, of course flirting back and forth with each the entire time as well.
“Well, I better hurry and get back to work. It was great talking with you Carter. Maybe this time you’ll actually call me.” She smirks and playfully winks, before leaving the cafeteria to go back to work.
Carter smiles and soon follows after, soon going back to working on cars.

/Later/

Carter changes out of his work clothes and into his somewhat nicer clothes. Carter walks out to his motorcycle and sets his work clothes on the seat and notices a tall man struggling with the bus.
“Agh...Dammit” The mysterious man mumbles while messing with the wheel of his bus.
Carter clears his throat and walks over, then kneels before the wheel “Here.” He begins fixing the wheel so he can drive again.
“This’ll hold it over for a while, I think you should come in tomorrow to get it looked at.” Carter stands and looks at his nice clothes now covered in grease.
“Thank you so much, and I will get it looked at as soon as I can.” The stranger gives him a warm smile before starting to go to the front of the bus. Carter notices something fall from his pocket and immediately picks it up, seeing it his keys.
“Oh- wait you dropped these” He kneels down to grab them then looks up, and hands them to him with a smile, something sparking within....
“Thank you” The stranger take the keys and leaves, leaving Carter wondering...

/Home/

Carter gets home and falls on the couch with a sigh, trying to figure out what it was with that man that made him different when someone interrupted his thoughts.
“Yo Yo bitch, whatchu up to?” a man called from behind Carter.
Lucas.
“Hey man, what time do we have to be at the club tonight?” Carter asks while standing up. Lucas and Carter both work at the club, in fact, that’s where they met. Now, Lucas has a bit of a crush on Carter, and by a bit I mean Lucas would kill someone for Carter. Lucas has never admitted this to Carter because he doesn’t want to ruin the friendship they have. Oh also, Carter’s straight. So that doesn’t exactly help either.
“Uh..I think boss said around 11:30 Cart.” Lucas says while walking to the fridge to grab a beer. “Oh great, I can get 5 and a half hours of sleep!” Carter says sarcastically and sets down his beer. “Yah, why’d you get a day job anyways? Does the club not pay enough for you?” Lucas asks while passing Carter to sit on the couch. “Well no, it does. I’m just being safe, ya know? I want to make sure I can support Ava.” Carter sits next to Lucas with a sigh. “Have you told Sierra you work at a gay club yet?” Lucas smirks and takes another sip of his beer, looking to the exhausted Carter in front of him. “Are you crazy? She’d chop my dick off, grind it up, then put it on my casket at my funeral!” Carter lays across the couch and yawns, clearing not well rested.
“I’m just gonna go practice for the big show tonight, you should get some rest.” Lucas stands up and pulls the blanket over Carter, “Bye bitch! Love ya!” Lucas says jokingly before leaving Carter to sleep
