Lost in time G.D E.D

Part 23

The next day I get to Pizzajacks and Grayson immediately hugs me.

Ethan stands behind him and watches us. 

"Olivia this is my brother Ethan," Grayson introduces us.

I wave to him and Bob walks over. 

"Chris called off so Ethan will train you in the kitchen today," Bob tells us. I sigh to myself but nod. 

"Duty calls," Grayson tells me giggling and Ethan leads me into the kitchen.

He shows me how to stock and what to clean while they have no orders. 

I cringe seeing Ethan do a finger gun at Phil and he does the same. Grayson gets an order and we start cooking. 

"I wonder what would happen if this thing blew up," Ethan jokes looking at the pizza oven. 

"Thats a weird question," I shrug. 

"Whatever," he gets an attitude. I glare at him and look over at Grayson at the register
He smiles and waves at me excitedly. 

At 6 Bob pulls me into the office to sign paperwork. 

"Grayson really recommended you to stay. You probably will be up front more often than not but you'll be needed for any position," he explains as I write out my info. 

"Thats fine, anything you need," I nod.   

"I have this weeks schedule, you'll work mondays since Ethan and Grayson are both off, but since tomorrow is your first day of school I'll let you have it off until next week," he explains and I thank him reading it over. 

I'm hoping I have the 30th off however. I need to stop the boys from breaking into that van and getting arrested.

Yes I'm involving the cops later but the cops literally did nothing good after the van incident. All it did was make them angrier. 

Ethan is already showing signs that he likes explosions and its just the very beginning. 

"I'll see you Tuesday Miss.Arch," Bob takes the papers and dismisses me after he pays me the money for the passed two days. 

Phil sees me leaving and runs over. 

"Hey Liv, I'm getting off work, you want a ride home?" He offers. Holy shit, that kinda works out. 

"Sure Phil, thanks," I smile and he leads me to his car. I recognize it from Rampart Range.

I give him directions to my apartment.  We drive to my place and I offer him gas money but he refuses,

"I'll see you on Tuesday," 

"Later Phil," I get out and watch him pull away.

-------------------------

"Look at the new freak," Jake laughs with his friends as usual. Wow, he couldn't figure out a new thing to say in three days? I just flip him off and walk by. 

I walk to the theatre like usual and sit with James, meeting him for the 4th time in my life.

I meet Tori and Sammy again. Of course Patrick and Grayson will be my mission during lunch.

Weird that they skip today too, they never skipped monday in my previous timelines. 

I sit bored and annoyed as I sit in the same class for the third time in years now.

I grab a piece of paper and decide to check out what my true age is now.  Since I died the day before my 18th birthday Ill count January 1st, the day I woke up, as the day I turned 18. I died 6 months later at 18 and a half. So I turned 19 6 months later. 

When I died the other day I would have been at 19 years, 10 months, and 20 days. So today is 24 days. I'll offically be 20 years old in March sometime. 

But supposedly once I win I'll wake up the day of my real 18th birthday and everytime I wake up in an alternate timeline I wake up as a 16 year old.  No matter how old my physical age gets to be I'll always stay in a teenaged loop unless I break this cycle. 

"This isn't math class Miss.Arch," Mrs. C snatches the paper from me. Luckily theres only numbers on the paper so no labels or any wording to specify what it is. 

"Sorry," I look down and she walks off. The bell rings and I gather my stuff to head to lunch. Unlike Senior year we have Drama for both of the first classes. 

Of course I meet and get shrugged off by Patrick at lunch before ultimately having James sit beside me.

And as always we end up with Patrick at the smokers pit. Although I deviate from my usual path. 

This time I take up smoking with Patrick Ironically, growing up with him as a father figure he always told me to never start smoking yet now I'm taking drags from his. 

Grayson meets us outside and he hugs me despite seeing me yesterday at work. Patrick and James whistle at us.

We both flip them off and I share a cigarette with Grayson. 

"I'll be with Ethan in my next class, I'll miss you dudes," I smile. 

"Miss you too," they wave and I head off to see Ethan.
