At Night

Chapter Two: Just Another Day... Or Maybe Not?

Author's Note: I don't have an editor as of now, so bare the many mistakes with me, please!  Also, I just wanted to say that I'm sixteen with a job, a sophomore in high school and I'm going to technical school so I don't know when I'll be able to update but I'll try!!!

Sometimes I hate being an early riser.. It's about five in the morning and I'm getting ready for work. I'm cashier today. Boo!! Not only do I work the cash register but I also have to stock the condiment stand, clean chairs and tables, sweep the floors and clean the rest rooms. Oh well, nothing lasts forever and I hope this day doesn't either.

I get up, walk to my kitchen and open my fridge with the broken freezer. I don't feel like cooking today so I pull out my milk then walk over to my cupboards, grab a bowl and a spoon and pull out my cereal. It's an Apple Jacks kind of day. I take my breakfast into the living room an turn on the tv. "Good morning everyone, today the Channel 11 New Team has some bad news..." the head newsman starts but I zone out. The news channel is a way for people to tell you good morning then tell you why it's not a good morning. I quickly change the channel to a cartoon station. I always picture this is what my little brother would watch if he were here...

Before I let the tears come, I realize I finished my cereal so I go and put my bowl in the kitchen sink, walk to my room and grab my red Wendy's shirt, my black dickies pants, underwear, a matching bra, socks and my Wendy's apron and hat. Then I take a shower, get dressed, pull my hair up and put natural coloured make up on. It only being a quarter after six, I decide to leave early to get gas and be at work at seven.

I walk outside to my dark blue 2007, Chevy Cavalier then head out to the gas station. I get twenty dollars worth of gas and head into the store to pay. I get a powerade drink and as I make it to the register, a black Chevy 2011 truck pulls up on the other side of the pump. A man who looks like he is in his early twenties climbs out of the truck and pumps his gas.

He looked cute from behind so I couldn't help but stare. He was wearing a grey wife beater and jeans, he had tan skin, he was 6'2, he had a slightly muscular build and black hair.. Yummy. He turned around and had the darkest brown eyes you would ever see... And they were looking straight into mine.

The cashier cleared her throat and said in a harsh tone, "$21.57." I paid her and rushed to my car, passing Mr. Yummy on the way. He smiled and winked at me which cause me to blush and walk faster. He was really cute but I unfortunately don't think it would be reasonable to date anyone, with my foster parents just passing away.

I took a deep breath, calmed myself down then started my car and sped off to work. I pull into Wendy's, go inside and clock in. I greet my coworkers including my boss and start working right away. I get a break at 12:20 p.m so I order a Junior Bacon Cheese burger combo with a large coke and a chocolate frosty shake. I take my food outside and watch the cars pass by.

Suddenly, I see a familiar black Chevy truck pull into the parking lot and out pops Mr. Yummy. I watch him go into the restaurant. He orders from Shirley, the other cashier, then looks around like he's searching for someone. He lifts his head and it looks like he's looking at the ceiling. Then he looks right at me, square in the eyes. Oh my gosh, is he following me?! I frantically try to think of how to get away as I watch him walk towards me. He randomly stops and pulls out his cell phone.

I take this as my cue to get away so I get up and jump over the fence surrounding the outdoor patio. I quickly run around the store to the other side of the restaurant. I hop into my car, call my boss from my cell phone and tell him I didn't feel good and he said to go home and come back tomorrow. I pull out of the parking lot as fast as I can and speed home. When I get there, I lock the doors, check the windows and then headed to bed. What a long day, I thought and sighed. I quickly fall asleep.
