Haunted (Under Construction)

           I got of the bus and walked into the book store. When I walked in the bell rang and Charlotte smiled at me. 

           "Hey, Avery. I thought you called in sick today." She said. 

           "I changed my mind." I told her. Her smiled widened as she said,

           "Did something good happen today?" She asked me. I smiled at her and said,

           "You could say that." I said as I walked into the locker room. I opened my locker and took out my dark green shirt. I took my shirt off and slipped my dark green polo over my head. I then tied the khaki apron around my waist. I put my bag in my locker and shut it. I slammed my locker door shut, and was startled when I saw Angela leaning against the locker next to me. 

           "You know for a psychic you suck at seeing the future." She scoffed at me. I rolled my eyes and walked past her. I stopped at the door and turned to look at her. 

           "Angela..." I said. 

           "Yes?" 

           "Why are you letting me get close to Jericho? I thought you wanted me to stay away from him." I asked her. 

           "Avery, I know I said that, but I can see the things you can't ,and very soon you are going to need him." she said seriously. I mouthed thanks and walked out of the locker room. When I walked out Charlotte's head snapped up and looked up at me. I walked over to the other cash register. 

           Charlotte was 29 years old, and was half native american. She was very beautiful, despite her constant disagreeing. She had tanned skin, honey brown eyes, and dark hair. She was about 5'9 and very thin. 

           She smiled at me and leaned on the counter in front of me. 

           "So how have you been?" She asked me. Charlotte has been nothing but a saint to me. 

           "Good. You?" I asked as I pulled the hem of my shirt down. I didn't want her to see the bruise. 

           "I've been fine." she said.

           "So you want to tell me why why you were having a good day." She said. I smirked at her and said,

           "And why would I tell you?" I told her. 

           "Fine then, You can just get your paycheck a week late." She grinned evilly. My eyes widened. 

           "Okay I'll tell you!" I told her. 

           "you remember that guy Jericho I told you about along time ago." 

           "The super hot, short tempered, part-time asshole, and mega jock?" She asked me. 

           "Yeah that's the one." I laughed. 

           "Anyway. I guess he decided that he wants to be in my life now..." I stopped when I heard her snort in disbelief. 

           "Oh just wait... and then-" I began but I was cut off.

           "There's more?" she laughed at me. 

           "And then he showed up at my door step. In the middle of the day, and we some how are now friends and he's picking me up today." I finished explaining to her. She put her hand over her mouth trying to hide her smile, and then snorted again. I couldn't help but to laugh. Once we calmed down she inhaled deeply, trying to compose her self.
