"Hey Amethyst?" Ethan tapped me on my shoulder as we stood in line for ice cream.
"Yeah?"
"I just realized... You've been in your pajama's all day." Ethan pointed at my outfit. I had in fact been in pajama's the entire day. I must've been too distracted while trying to find Ethan to notice I wasn't dressed properly.

"What would you two like?" A voice asked. The voice came from a girl, who looked about 16, with long light blonde hair, which complimented her bright yellow eyes. She had a cute smirk on her face.
"Um, I'll take one scoop of chocolate ice cream in a cone, and... Amethyst what would you like?" Ethan responded.
"Um, I'll have the strawberry ice cream in a cone please." I told the girl as I admired her eyes flicker through the different flavours of ice cream.
"Here you are. I hope to see you again~." The girl told me as she handed me my ice cream. I walked over to where Ethan was sitting and joined him at the table.

"I see why you wanted to come here again, hehehe." Ethan smirked as he licked his ice cream.
"Yeah, cause this ice cream is really good!" I said as I licked my own ice cream.
"No no no. Don't think I didn't catch you staring at the girl who served us."
"Wh-What!? N-No! It's not like that! This is the first time I saw her. She wasn't here before." I explained.
"Whatever weirdo, finish up your ice cream then let's head back okay?" Ethan joked. I nodded and had some more of my ice cream.

The next few days I had more training with Ethan. He taught me simple tricks and tips about fighting. At the end of the week we did the same thing we did the first day of training. As I was walking around looking for Ethan, I passed the ice cream shop. Just as I was about to fully pass by it, I was stopped by the girl I was "staring at" earlier in the week, as Ethan put it.
"Um... H-Hi...?" I attempted to say as I turned around to face the girl. She didn't seem like she would hurt me.

"Hey, I was wondering if you wanted to work here with me. A new position popped up since the other girl... quit... So I was wondering if you wanted the job?" She asked.
"Oh, really? What would I do?" I asked quietly.
"Um, scoop ice cream. What else do you think silly~? You would work whenever you please. We aren't that busy all week, so as long as you come at least 3 days a week for at least 3 hours per day, you wil, get paid accordingly!" She said enthusiastically. The offer nearly seemed too good.
"I'll think about it." I told her.
"Okay! Here's my number, text me your decision. Bye~!" She handed me a piece of paper then walked off.
"O-Okay..." I then continued my "training", by continuing to look for Ethan.

Once the training was done, I decided to help Ethan make dinner.
"Anything interesting happen while you were looking for me?" Ethan asked me.
"Yes actually, I got offered a job at the ice cream shop." I told him.
"Wow, really!? Did you take it?"
"The girl gave me her number and said to text her my answer... I'm just not sure if I should or not, I've never had a job and what if I screw up?"

"I think it would be good. And Amethyst, if you screw up, nobody will care that you screwed up except you. It doesn't matter if you mess up. Also you are literally scooping ice cream." Ethan told me. I nodded.
"Alright. If it's okay with you, I will take the job." He nodded.
"Well what are you waiting for?"
"Um... I don't have a phone to text her on..."
"Oh... Wait! I wasn't going to give this to you yet, but I think it would be good now. Let me go grab it."

Ethan came back with a box wrapped in wrapping paper. He handed it to me.
"Open it." He instructed. I ripped off the wrapping paper and opened the box. Inside was a brand new phone. I gave Ethan a giant hug.
"Thank you Ethan. You really didn't need to though." I thanked him as I pulled away.
"Your welcome. You can set that up while I finish making dinner. How about that." I nodded and left to go set up my new phone.

Once it was all set up I typed in the girl's number and texted her.

Me: I decided to take the job
??: Great, you can call me Himi btw  :)
Me: Ok
Me: Thanks Himi, when do I start?

I saved her contact as "Himi"

Himi: Whenever you want  :)
Me: ok
Me: How does Monday at 3pm sound?
Himi: Great
Himi: I'll see ya then  ;)

I quickly put my new phone in my inventory as Ethan called me for dinner.
"When do you start your job?" Ethan asked.
"Monday at 3:00pm" I answered as we sat down at the table.
"That seems reasonable."
"Can we still train though? I really wanna get into UA and if I'm not very good right now and I still need to improve-..."

"Woah, where did all that come from? Calm down, we can still train. And I know you will do great on the exam okay?" Ethan told me.
"Okay, sorry. I'm just really worried I won't be good enough. I haven't had a quirk until like a week or two ago, and I still don't know my full potential. And everyone else has years of experience over me." I explained.
"Well I guess you'll have to just work extra hard then."
"I guess..."
"Now let's eat, I'm starving."

Later on that night when I was in bed I got a text from Himi.

Himi: We're gonna be such great friends Amy :)
Me: Amy?
Himi: Yep, that's your nickname now
Me: Cool
Me: I have to sleep now, I'm training my quirk so I can get into UA
Himi: UA, huh?
Me: yeah, what about it?
Himi: Nothing, That school just... fascinates me
Me: Alright
Me: Night Himi
Himi: Goodnight ;)
