Jonah's POV

I applied for a job at The Spoon. Hopefully they hire me. As I lie in Andi's bed with her, I thought about the future. I wonder what our future would look like. Maybe someday we would get married. We're only 16 years old, so who knows what's to come in the future.

   Andi started moving and finally woke up. She looked at me, smiled, then sat up straight facing me.

    I sat up, kissed her forehead, and said, "Good morning beautiful."

  Andi said, "Good morning."

  I got out of the bed and my phone started ringing.

I answered the phone and said, "hello?"

"Hi Jonah beck, this is the manager of the Spoon. I wanted to call and tell you that you are hired. You start tomorrow at 8 a.m. I am looking forward to seeing you." He said.

"Ok, thank you." I said, then hung up the phone. 

  I looked at Andi, who sat on the bed looking confused.

  "I got the job" I said.

   She smiled, stood up, and hugged me. Andi said, "When do you start?"

   I replied, "Tomorrow."

   "Cool" she said.

The Next Day

  I have to be at The Spoon by 8 a.m. It's 7 right now, which gives me enough time to shower and walk there. I got out of the bed slowly so I wouldn't wake up Andi. I went into the he bathroom, took at shower, and put on jeans and a nice shirt. I went downstairs; no one was up yet. I ate a little something and walked to The Spoon.

   When I walked in the manage said, "Welcome, you must be Jonah Beck."

   "Yes, and your name is?"

   "Oh sorry, guess I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Mr. Wore, but you can call me Dan."

   "Ok, Dan, nice to meet you. What should I do?" I said.

  "Well first you need to put this hat and uniform apron thing on. I know, I know, it's super ugly, but it's a requirement. Then we'll sign you up and I'll take a look at your working papers. Oh and you'll be working at the front counter taking people's orders from there." Mr. Dan Wore said.

   After we did all of that, I started working at the front counter. Since it was now only 10 a.m., no one has been here yet.

  Update. It is now 12 o'clock and no one is here. I'm getting really bored. My shift ends at 7, that's when The Spoon closes. Thank gosh it's the Summer time and we don't have to go to school. Although, that reminds me, I have to do my summer work. Ugh!

   Oh look someone just walked in! He walked up to the counter and he said, "Hi, could I order fries and a burger."

   "Sure" I replied and wrote his order on the little note pad that we're supposed to write the orders on. Then I hung it in front of the window connecting to the kitchen for the cooks to see. That didn't go so bad, I thought.

   Never mind! This place has gotten so busy. It's 5:30 and so many people are here. They already got served, so hopefully everyone leaves soon.

   I had to get more napkins for one of the waiters to put more on a table. They were under the counter, so I kneeled down and started looking for them.

   As I was searching, I heard someone with the voice of a female say, "Hey cutie under the counter, you got a girlfriend?"
