Ashton

So far my job has been great!

Of course, I hate waking up early and dealing with grouchy people, but I've made friends with Michael. Luke and Calum both seem to have chips on their shoulders, but I'm okay with them. I sort of have to be, since we all work the same shifts all the time.

As of right now, I was walking to the break room. I passed Michael with his new green hair and gave a small wave which he returned. By returned, I mean he raised his hand and dropped the five video games he was holding. He's such a dork. I chuckled to myself.

I entered the break room and saw another person seated at the table, a woman to be exact. She had long brown hair, and green eyes, which I noticed when she turned around to stare at me.

"Hi," she said. "I'm Nicole."

"I'm Ashton," I told her. We shook hands.

I took a seat at the table across from her, and took a sip from the coffee I was holding. It's eleven o'clock in the morning, but I felt as if I had just woken up.

"You're probably not used to having someone else in here, are you?" Nicole asked.

"Nah," I smiled.

She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and I noticed that she had gauges. Small ones, at that. They were about a 14g. Kinda cute.

"I switched shifts so I can pick my daughter up from school," she explained.

I couldn't help but avert my gaze to her left hand to find her wedding ring. She must've noticed because she said "Divorced."

"Sorry to hear that," I frowned.

"It's okay," she assured. "I was stupid to get married so early."

Eventually, we got the topic of the conversation to go away from this serious depressing stuff to more light-hearted things. I found out that she loved the same music as me. We had a lovely and deep conversation about The Killers. I was smiling the entire time.

Before we knew it, it was eleven thirty. Breaks over.

"Well, I'll see you around?" She said, more in a question form.

"You will," I nodded.

This job might have been the greatest thing to happen to me yet!
