Jade's POV (SET AT HER DORM ON CAMPUS)
After work last night, I made my way home and went to bed. I counted up my tips this morning.
"Damn girl, you workin' that pole?" Alexis said to me, coming out of the bathroom.
"It's only $450, you know I need at least $700 for the tattoo. And then don't get me started on my car." I say shaking my head. This isn't near as much as I wanted to make last night.
"Jade, honey. Sweetie. How can I say shut the fuck up nicely? You are doing just fine. My paycheck will be in by 2 o'clock today. We're set on rent. Don't sweat it so much." She says, patting my head. I don't know what she really does for work, but she gets like $2,000 each check.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'm sorry. You know how I am with finances and such." I say looking down. My parents were shit with finances when I was younger. We barley had food, I wore the same 4 shirts everyday. I told myself when I started working that I would manage everything, put needs first and wants second. And so far it's working, but it doesn't stop me from worrying.
"I know doll. Don't apologize." She says.
"What time is your first class today?" I ask her, throwing on my work shoes.
"In about an hour. Why, what's up?" Alexis said confused.
"Well, you wanna stop by my work when you get out? I'll give you my employee meal. You know I don't eat there." I say giving her a smirk.
"Oh my god you're the best! I love pancakes! Do you want me to bring you anything?" Alexis asks. "Actually scratch that. I know what you want."
"What? No you don't!" I say shocked.
"You want sushi. Preferably the California roll, but if I can't find that then you want a shrimp tempura. Don't test me girl." I looked at her wide eyed.
"Ho-how'd you know? Do I get it that often?" I look at her. She just winks and nods her head. Alexis heads to the door just in time for someone to knock. I hear Kyle at the door. They exchange a few words and head to class. Something else to know about Alexis, her and Kyle are dating. They have been together for about 3 years I'm pretty sure. I get a text from Alexis.
Alexis: hey I forgot to tell you ky and i are going to breakfast. Have a good morning at work girlie. Love ya<3
Jade: oh alright! Have fun! Don't do anything I would. And thanks. Love you too <3
Well, that explains that. I start my make up for work. I have to look good for work, considering my face and attitude are my money maker. I finish my makeup and start curling my hair to pin up in a bun. Thank god I don't have to wear a hat or anything, I wouldn't ever be able to do anything cool with my hair.
I finish getting ready and go downstairs. I get in my car and grab the aux cord. Hm, let's choose a specific album. I decide to go with "Sounds Good Feels Good" and a song named Jet Black Heart came on. This has a good beat, they kinda sound hot. I don't have time to google them right now. I'll do it on my break.

I get to work and groan. I'm over this job. It's good money, in hand, every night.
As I'm clocking in, I get a text from Jamie.
Jamie: hey! So i have a question and i need to know ASAP!!!
Jade: what's up ? I'm at work
Jamie: you wanna go to a 5 Sauce concert in like 3 days? I know Alexis won't go with out Kyle, and Kyle won't go. Plzzzz plzplzplz!!!
Jade: yea for sure I work that morning so I should be off by the time of the concert. What time?
Jamie: doors open at 4pm but I wanna be there by like 3 to 3:30 so we're close to the front
Jade: forsure no problem
Jamie: AHHHHHYOURE THE BEST OMGOMGOMG I LOVE YOUUUUU HAVE A GOOD SHIFT <33333333
Well, shit. I have to make atleast $500 today and tomorrow to even have near enough spending money for the concert. I walk over to a corner table with some young looking boys probably about 18-19. I grab their drink orders and go over the make them. My manager tells me that I have the store to myself for about 30 minutes, she has to get her daughter from day care. I'm excited to see Sid's kid. She's a complete sweetie.
I take the drinks to the boys, amazing the 3 of them with how I carry them. I get their food orders and go put them in the computer. I walk around the store and clean what needs cleaning, and stock what needs stocking. The boys keep looking at me but it doesn't bother me. I send winks and smirks their way.
I see another boy walk in and sit with them. He's really tall, well I say that. I'm only 5'6, so everyone is really tall to me. Anyway, he's blonde and has a lip ring. I walk over to him and the boys and ask him what he wants to drink.
"I'll just have a water, thanks love." He says. His voice is rough, like he's a sings all the time almost. I walk away and grab his drink.
"So are you just having water today or do you want something to eat too?" I ask walking back over.
"Well, you have anything that's soft for the throat. Mines raw too much singing in the car I guess." He says. I smile, I knew he was a singer. I tell him chicken broth soup is probably the best thing to eat.
"That'll be fine love, thanks." He smiles. That smile is to die for, oh my god. I put the order in the computer. I ask my cook, Taylor, if he could take the food out to the boys when it's ready, and of course he tell me yes. I walk back over to the table.
"Hey guys if you need anything, I'll be out on the side. The cook said he would bring out your food when it's done." I say and they all nod. I go back around the waitress stand and grab my phone, ear buds, and my cigarettes. I put in my headphones and turn on my shuffle. I walk outside, light my cig, and take a deep inhale. I'm so close to being done with classes. "What I Like About You" cover comes on and i turn it up. All the sudden, a hand taps my shoulder and I jump.
"What are you listening to?" The blonde boy asks. I laugh.
"It's a band called 5 Seconds of Summer. They're really good. You look like you'd be into them." I say, taking a drag after.
"I've heard of them before. They're not too bad. The blonde one could be better though." He laughs and asks for a cigarette. I give him one and hand him the lighter.
"Oh, I don't know what they look like. I've only been listening to them for about two days." I say shyly. He laughs and takes a drag.
"They're not too good looking in my opinion." The boy says. "I'm Luke by the way."
