Your alarm clock wakes you up at 9 o'clock. You slowly get out of bed miserably and walk to your wardrobe to get ready. You're extremely nervous at this point because today is the first day of your transfer to the Scranton branch. You begin tidying yourself up and starting to head out the door to your car. You pull up to the nice looking building and park your car.

You walk into the building and go to the elevator. While you're in the elevator you slowly feel sick with anxiety. You were so used to your old branch and now you're transferred and you have to meet new people. The elevator dings and you slowly step out. You open the door to Dunder Mifflin and give a half hearted smile.

"Hi, I'm Erin you must be our transfer y/n" she gave you a cute little smile and called Michael in.

Michael walked into the room and shook your hand. "Woah, since when did models work here" he said in a silly Italian accent.

You giggle at his little comment. "This is our new transfer y/n everybody try and make her feel comfortable. Any questions?"

A blonde petit woman named Angela raised her hand "Since when did we allow skanks in this office?"

You felt a little self conscious at her comment and pulled your shirt up in embarrassment. You looked down as Michael was calling out Angela and everything went to a mumble.

"Y/n? Hello? Earth to y/n" you bop your head up in surprise not realizing what's going on. You then follow Michael to the Annex where he shows you your desk.

You sit down in relief and start doing your work when you notice the reflection in your computer screen. There's somebody peeking their head staring at you. You turn around and catch a tall man walk up to your desk.

"Hi, uhm I'm Gabe." he says in a cute little nervous voice. he sticks out his pale hand and shakes your hand. He looks very nervous, and his hand is sweaty and shaky.

"I'm y/n. Is there any reason why you were staring at me." You say in a curios voice.

"Uhm I uh uh wanted to see how everything was uh going" he smiles and looks at you nervously with a little twinkle in his bright blue eyes.

You laugh "I'm doing good, just getting used to everyone and everything."

"Yeah I heard about Angela's comment, she had no right to say that I mean like your cute. He smiled at you and then looked down at the ground.

"Awe thank you." You giggled and looked at Gabe, he was staring right back. "I have to get back to work but I could see you later at lunch"

"I would love that" he said quietly and then he walked away back to his desk.

Wow did he really call me cute, does he mean it though, I'm not sure but he was pretty nervous around me so maybe that's a sign. I think he likes me you think to yourself, I mean he's kind of cute.
