Prologue
Summer job possibilities… decisions, decisions.
Work at Nando's
Pros: Weekly paycheck; Nick, my new boyfriend, works there; chance to kiss in the cooler in between serving customers?
Cons: Aching feet; aching jaw from continually smiling to get better tips; living at home while Mum and older sister, Gemma, go through the insanity of planning Gemma's summer wedding(They can't agree on anything! Mum? HELLO? Gemma is turning twenty three, she's old enough to plan her own wedding. Note to self: Stay out of it!)
Work at local movie theater
Pros: Weekly paycheck; watch the newest films for free; eat complimentary no-limit-on-the-butter popcorn until I pop
Cons: Aching feet from standing behind the concession counter; sweeping up spilled popcorn; sticky floors; less of Nick; living at home while Mum and Gemma…
Work at amusement park near lake far, far away
Pros: Weekly paycheck; get on all the rides for free; gone all summer; dorms are available; being totally absent from home while Mum and Gemma…
Cons: Share a dorm with someone I've never met, never seeing Nick, and okay, I have rollercoaster issues. I don't get what is so great about the whole queasy-stomach, heart-in-throat, up and down, faster, faster, higher, higher experience.
Decision: No brainer! Living with a stranger has got to be better than living with Mum and Gemma while The Wedding is being planned. I don't have to ride the big roller coasters. It's only three months. True love can survive that, can't it?
