Blinking blankly down at the messy numbers on my skin, my face slowly heats up, covering my face out of embarrassment, "Why did I have get involved with someone like him.. Out of all the people in school. IT JUST HAD TO BE THE FUCKING PLAYBOY!!", memories of him kissing a new person in the hallway every day floats into my head. Groaning loudly, I slowly drag my hands down and off of my face. Sliding one of my hands into my pocket, I pull out my phone, gently pressing on one of the buttons while my screen lights up, displaying the time and a few unread messages, "F-FUCK IM GONNA BE LATE FOR WORK!!", tightening my grip on the strap of my bookbag, I hurriedly run out of the room and down the hall. Finally reaching outside, I dig in my pocket for my keys, quickly unlocking my car as I swing the door open and slides into the driver's seat, putting my seatbelt on securely and turns the key in the ignition, before speeding off.

After 15 minutes, I finally reach my destination. Stepping out, a small puddle from last nights rainfall engulfs my foot. Hurriedly closing and locking the car doors I turn towards the old yet charming building with a large sign hanging above the door displaying, "D-Bar". Unsurprisingly it was
a well-known gay pub downtown. I worked there part-time as a waiter. Striding through the doors, the small bells above the entrance jingle, as a few people turn towards me but quickly dismiss my appearance.
Quickly walking to the back of the pub, I wave slightly at a few coworker, entering a small changing room located in a restricted area of the pub, while I swiftly pull my work clothes out of my locker, changing into a white button up with the bottom of it tucked into black pants and a black apron tied tightly around my hips.
Hurrying out of the changing room, I enter the main dining area, leaning against the bar while a cheerful and bubbly voice soaks into my ears, "Hi Kai!!~", one of the bartenders known as Jace turns toward me, his short dark brown curly hair was as neat as ever, though his hazel eyes automatically slide down to my hand, "Woah..~ Did someone get hit on today? That's pretty rare. I thought I could keep you to myself for longer.~", sitting down on one of the seats, I roll my eyes dramatically at his usual flirting, glancing around the dining area briefly before returning my eyes to him, "Dont ask.. Plus it seems extra dead today. It's a Friday, shouldn't it be a bit more--", I take a brief glance around again, "--Alive?~", Jace cuts in, while he smiles gently and adds, "Its still early.. All the pervs come out at night.~".
Coughing out a laugh, I shake my head slightly and smile in amusement, "Well I guess you would know.. since you're one yourself.", smirking wider Jaces eyes scan slowly down my body and back up, mischief flicking in his eyes, "You wouldnt know.. but I'd be happy to show you how much of a pervert I can be.~".
Sighing loudly, I reach over flicking Jaces forehead, "I've been working here for what?.. half a year now. Yet you constantly want to use me as a test flirt dummy so you can rack in more tips. Shame on you Jace. Shame on you.", smirking in amusement I slide off of the chair, walking toward the entrance as soon as I hear the bell on the door ring.

Watching me walk towards the door, Jace softly whispers out, "It's sad how oblivious you are Kai..~".
