The Job Offers

Going To See The Job Openings

I check the clock to see its 2:30 p.m. Papas with a customer at the moment so I wait till hes done to walk up to him, "I have to get going if I'm still going to have to pick Julian up from school." He nods, "I suppose that true, don't forget to text your mom." I nod, walking up to him. I hug him as he kisses my forehead. "I'll see you soon, grandchild." He states. I smile and nod.  "Bye Papa, have a good day. I love you." I say grabbing my stuff and walking towards the door, "And I you, grandchild. Good luck." I open the door, heading to my truck. I hop in and put the keys in the ignintion and start my truck. I turn up my radio and hear Shake It Off by Taylor Swift is on, I start humming along with it, tapping my fingers on the wheel. Yes, I'm Lukas today, but I still know songs that are considered girly. I drive to where the job offers interviews are, and thers a massive line, its literally blocks long...... "How the hell am I ever going to get a interview with all these people wanting the spots?" I think out loud, I keep driving by when I park on the other side of the street, next to a park. I turn off my truck and hop out, pulling down the tail gate and hoping onto it. People are talking to each other as they wait in line, and I'm just sitting over here looking awkward. I then get a text from my mom saying how shes going on a business trip and that shes sorry that she couldn't say bye to me face to face, and that she'll be home in a month or so. I reply back saying ok, and be safe and I love her. She texts back the same.  I text Julian saying how I'll be picking him up from school today again. He replies with yay and I laugh. I then hear the sound of a car, like a really expensive car. I look up to see a damn nice black car. "Damn, man." I say out loud, and thats what everyone basically thinking at the moment. The car parks on the side of the street I am, along with 5 other cars. Thats when I realize something...... The only people with enough money to afford expensive cars like that are- "Werewolves!" Some chick yells in the line, everyone gasps. Shes right, and the bad thing about her being right is that it means that theres an alpha looking for their mate and thats why they're holding interviews. Thats what every alpha does, how could I have been so stupid? I hop off the tail gate and close it. I start walking to the front of my truck when everyone gets really quiet, I turn to look at the other side of the street to see that their staring at the Supernaturals.. Some of them start glancing at me and back at the Supernaturals. I turn around to see that all the Supernaturals that were here were looking at me.... Oh fuck... I keep glancing at different ones until my eyes land on one thats not looking at me, but hes stiff as fuck and in a hood. He slowly turns to look at me.... His eyes are ruby red, meaning hes the alpha... He growls and says one word, hes a good 12 meters away by the way, so I can't understand him...... "Move." Is what I saw him say. I look behind me looking for someone else...... He says something else, and another guy nods and smirks, then I hear a whistle. I look in front of my truck along with everyone else to see a guy smiling, "Ye shall not take thy!" He yells, and that my dears, is my other best friend, Frank. I burst out laughing, "Frank! Lets get going!" I yell hoppong into my truck, he jumps in to. I then hear a bunch of howling and growls. I don't think much of it and turn on my truck. "Man, what the fuck were you doing?" I said laughing my ass off, "I wanted to be a hero!" Frank says, grinning like the Chesire Cat. "Man, I think you were just found by your mate." He says, smirking now. "You are fully aware that I don't believe in mates. So therefore I don't have one." I roll my eyes taking another turn, "That guy thought other wise." "He told me to move." I say shrugging my shoulders, "I gotta pick up Julian, aight?" Frank just nodded in response. I pulled up to see Julian walking out of the high school, "Come on, bosoe! Lets go!" Julian perked up at the sound of my voice. He ran and hopped into the passenger side. Frank and Julian hugged, then Julian hugged me. "Lukas might've been found by his mate." Frank said, smirking. Julian looked like he was about explode with happiness, "Really?!" I shook my head, laughing. "No, I don't have mate." "Bullshit, hes a alpha too." "Frank?" "Yes?" "Shut the fuck up." We all laughed. "Hey, warlock." I said, "Yes, non-believer?" Frank asked, "Do you want me to drop you and your mate off at your place?" I asked, laughing. "I'd very much appriecate that, child." He said, nodding as if thinking it was a big decision. "Do not call me a child." I mumbled rolling my eyes. Julian and Frank just laughed. I pulled up to Franks place a couple minutes later, they both gave me a hug. "Quit running from him, Lukas. Hes going to find you, and you'll finally be happy when you accept him." Julian said, wrapping his arm around Franks waist. "Yeah, sure. I'm not good enough for a mate, man. I'll see you later." I said, smiling. They waved while looking at me with pity. I drove off, going to Papas place. I pull up to the skatepark and I feel like theres something off..... something bad is off........ I hop out of my truck, walking to the little store. The bell rings, announcing my entrance again, "Papa?" I say, as I walk fully into the store. Something is defenitly wrong. I walk behind the counter to see a cup of tea dropped on the ground, broken. I freeze and the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. "Papa?! Papa, whre are you?!" I then hear shuffling in the bathroom, I slowly walk towards it slowly opening the door. And there, I see Papa....... plunging a toilet. His head whips toward me, "Ah, hello grandchild. I'm sorry if I started you." I stare at him blankly, not saying anything... Then I burst out laughing, "W-why are y-you p-plunging a toilet?" I asked, laughing really hard. "Well, to unclog it obviously, grandchild." He says in a duh tone. I roll my eyes, "Got that much, Papa. Do you mind if I sleep here for a little while? My mom is on a business trip again." I ask, already knowing the answer. "Of course you can, grandchild." He replies, smiling and setting the plunger behind the toilet and flushing the toilet. "Works like its brand new, Papa." I stated, chuckling. He smiles in pride and washes his hands off. "So tell me what happned." He said, walking past me to the counter. "Huh?" "Something happened, you're different." He stated, cleaning up the broken tea cup. "Nothing, nothing happened." I replyed, shrugging. "Mature people don't lie." He said, putting a tea pot on the stove. "Well a friend of mine is saying that I might've been found by my mate, but I don't think I'm worthy of a mate." I stated, Papa just sighed. "Of course you're worthy of a mate. You're the most worthy person I know." He said, grabbing my hand and holding it. "Papa, you already know that I don't believe in true love and mates." I said, looking down sadly. "Just because you don't believe it, doesn't mean its fake." He said, wrapping his arms around me.  I wrapped my arms around him as well, closing my eyes. Then we heard the bell ring, and a bunch of feet walking into the store. "Thank you, Papa." I said, pulling away, smiling. He nodded, "Now, go help those customers while I make the tea." I just laugh and nod, walking out to the counter. I see 7 guys, "Is there anything you need help finding?" I ask them. "Um, yes. Do you perhaps have anything for removing dye? My friend was accidently dyed pink..." A guy asked, turning around. I bit my lip to try and not laugh, "Ahem, yeah. Dye remover is over by the stain remover on the back wall, second shelf to the right." I directed, trying to not laugh still. He went over to the spot and grabbed the box bringing to the counter. "Is that all?" I ask, "Do you mind if we look around for a little?" He asks, looking around. "Not at all, take as long as you need." I say, smiling. The boys go look at all the stuff, then the only one I haven't got to see the face of turns around and- my phone starts going off, startling me. I grab my phone and see its Julian so I answer the phone, "Yoohoo, summer blow out!" I say enthusitcally, Julian laughs. "Have you seen him?" He asked, "Seen who?" "Your mate."He says in his most duh tone. "Ha, nice joke. I don't have a mate, just like I don't have a father." I state, laughing. "You have a dark sense of humor." He mumbles, "Oh believe me, I know." I reply, "Alright, well just call me when you do see him." He tells me, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. I gotta go, bye!" I hang up the phone, laughing cause I know he hates when I do that. I look back to where the guy was to see him gone, only to see him again but with his friends this time, hood back up. They start walking up to me again with a lot of stuff in their arms... "Is all of this ok for animals as well?" The guy from earlier, who asked about the dye remover, asked looking very interested. I couldn't hold in my laughing anymore, and I burst out laughing. "Ahem, y-yeah, their safe for animals." I say, trying to calm down. "Oh thank goodness!" He said, enthused. "Oh I'm-" He was interupted by a growl. I froze, and looked to where the growl came from. The guy who was in the back and wearing a hoodie, was growling. I was frozen in fear, my eyes were wide and my mouth was opened in surprise. "Oh, um, don't mind him. Hes just having anger issues right now." The other guy said, I looked back at him and back at the other guy. "Yeah, okay. Anways, will this be all?" I asked trying to ignore what just happened. "Uh yeah." He replyed, looking nervous. I add the price for all the items together and putting them in a bag, "Well that'll be $56.78." I told him. "Wow, you did that math really quick." He stated, amazed. "Yeah." He pulled out a fifty and a ten, "Keep the change." He said, smiling. "Oh, thanks." I smiled back, "No problem, so what's your name?" He asked, taking his items. "Lukas, how about you guys?" Nodding to the group. "I'm Lan, Hyker, Damien, Louis, Brandon, Kyle, and the one who growled is Robin." He said, pointing to every person. I nodded to every person, "So Lukas, are you going to the mating ball? Oh wait, everyone has to go. Sorry stupid question." He said, rambling a bit. "Actaully I'm not going." I stated laughing a bit at him. He looked at me in surprise, "Oh shit, are you already mated?" He said, starting to seem even more nervous. I bursted out laughing again, "No, I just don't go to those when I know I'm not going to get mated. And I don't believe in mates." I stated, shrugging. "You don't believe in mates?" He asked, confused as fuck. "Yeah, never have, never will." I shrugged once again. "Oh, well come this year. You can just come hang out with me and my friends." He said, smiling. "You are aware of the fact that I'm 14, correct?" I said, smirking. "Shit, no I meant as friends, I'm not trying to hit on you. You aren't my type, not that you're not attractive but you know." He said, rambling again. "Yo, chill man. Its all good. Just pick me up when ever it is, cause I don't know when it is. And I'm not dressing up." I said, smiling. "Oh thats cool, I'll see you then." He said, walking towards the door. "See you then." I head to the back, "Papa, I'm going to sleep, ok? Just wake me up if you need anything." I told him, "Ok, grandchild. Sweet dreams." He kisses my forhead, and  goes back to his tea and stocking. I go to 'my' room and lay down on the bed, thinking about having a mate. Slowly I slip into unconsious, thinking that myabe I'd be lucky enough to get one.
