"Katherine! get up you're gonna be late for work!" my mom yelled from the kitchen. I yawned and rolled onto my side mumbling gibberish falling back asleep instantly. I finally woke up, it was 10:26.

"oh shit!"

I was thirty minutes late for work. I hopped out of bed and gathered my things rushing to my car... my boss is going to kill me.

I drove as fast as I could, pulling into the Walmart parking lot. I ran across the road as fast as I could desperate to keep my job. I immediately turned to my left at the sound of screeching tires. My body froze letting out a small scream.

A black SUV stood an inch away from me, all I could do is look it up and down questioning how I got there, stunned.

Soon the window to the SUV began to go down revealing the face of a girl with deep blue eyes and shiny hair who seemed to be judging me.

She was really intimidating.

Was she going to yell at me?

What should I say?

She peered her head out of the window squinting her eyes at me without a word escaping her lips. The girl stepped out of the car beginning to approach me. She seemed mad as I just stood there in front of her car.

I couldn't help but notice her strange style, such baggy clothes on such a small girl but it looked good. Really good. I was taken by her looks, she is stunning. "HE-hey are you okay?" she said snapping me out of my thoughts. She no longer looked mad as she did before...she looked concerned but she had a wit to her. she started to giggle at my facial expression as I hadn't said anything since her car almost hit me.

"bro? are you good?"she says raising her eyebrows at me.

I try to speak but all I get out are a few stutters before I realise I'm still late for work. I dodge past her and run inside hoping I'll never see her again.

-----

my boss didn't even notice my absence. I was there for only 15 minutes and I wanted to go home and sleep. But I need money. so I stayed there at my cash register waiting for the parade of old ladies doing their shopping to leave me be. finally, the line was gone and I could just close my eyes for a couple seconds.

I am surprised I haven't lost my job yet.

all I could think about was my stupidity around that girl and how I just ran away. that was totally not like me.

then bang went a cart right into the side of my station, waking me up immediately. It was the same girl from before.

she had a cart full of avacado's and taki's. I looked up from her cart to see her smiling at me, blushing letting out this childish laugh.

"you again, are you trying to kill me" I said with a small smirk on my face

" sorry about that it was an accident" she said as she looked down and rubbed the back of her neck nervously

" it's okay I should've been paying closer attention" I said trying to ease the tension

"which time" she said letting out a laugh," didn't mean to wake you, that nap seemed pretty important"

" trust me, it was." I said," I should introduce myself, I'm Kat-"

"Katherine.. yeah I can see that" she smirked pointing at my name tag

"well aren't you going to tell me your name? You did almost hit me... twice" I said jokingly

" my name's Billie." she said flipping her hair over her shoulder
