The loud, shrill bleeping of a mobile phone alarm pierced the air for a couple of minutes before there was a ruckass of fumbling as Candice tried to turn it off.
"OKAY!!! shut UP!" She screamed as she hit the 'cancel' button on her iPhone.
She groaned loudly and rubbed her eyes. It was 7:45am and she had her shift at Chipotle at 9am.
Candice was 19 years old and she worked two jobs. Chipotle and Walmart. She was just a regular teen trying to get by in life as she had left school when she was 16. She lived in Los Angeles and life was different.
She checked her phone for twitter updates, she wasn't in any fandoms but she knew a little bit about some big ones. She had recieved a text from her colleague and best friend Alyssa.
It read "Hey Candy, meet me round back at 8:50am xx" Candice sighed and dragged herself out of bed. She dragged her feet across the faded carpet, scratching her butt cheek as she made her way to the bathroom to freshen up. She applied some eyeliner and mascara and lipgloss before fixing her hair in a high bun and putting on her usual Chipotle waitress uniform which consisted of a brown t-shirt, black skinny slacks, and black flats or pumps.
She peered out of her window to see the weather for the day, pumps it was. The day was bright but cloudy and dry.
"SHIT! Oh Shit" Candice cursed as she checked the time, it was 8:40am and she lived 3 blocks from Chipotle. She fumbled with her keys to lock her apartment door.
Candice's parents had helped her find her independence and had bought her a flat when she was 18. It was small and had bright white walls. Just enough for Candice to stand on her own feet, yet she still had to run two jobs to afford to live.
Candice had run for 1 block, fast-paced walked for the 2nd block and just about made it for 8:55am round the back.
Alyssa's face was unimpressed but tired when Candice arrived flustered and out of breath.
"Ally, i'm s-s-so sorry oh my gosh i am so late!" She stammered, catching her breath back.
"hahaha it's alright Candy, come on, we better get ready for our 9 til 5" Alyssa said, her tone cheerful then dull as they made their way through the kitchens.
They both straightened their aprons with their notepads and pens, adjusted their caps and waited in the lobby ready to welcome customers.

I checked my watch, it was 10am and I was hungry for Chipotle. I called Lucy from the bathroom as I fixed my hair and brushed my teeth.
"Lucy babe, I want to eat!!" My voice echoed.
There was a short silence before I heard a muffled "Let's go to your fave babe, Chipotle".
My face broke into a huge grin and I skipped to get changed. I pulled on some skinny jeans and my fave t-shirt that says 'I'm here now so what are your other wishes?' and then I had to wait for Lucy to get ready.
I didn't know why she always wore so much makeup, she was beautiful without it. She came downstairs in those skinny jeans that hug her ass so nicely and the top I haf bought her for her birthday.
"I'm ready, let's go!" Lucy announced, putting on some heeled boots.
We arrived at Chipotle for 11am and when I opened the door, there were two waitresses waiting to serve customers. One was cute and slim, she had her hair in a high bun and smiled at me. Her eyes were a pretty blue and her smile was cute.
"Table for two please" I heard Lucy ask the girl I was staring at as she came to serve us.
"Hi guys, My name is Candice and I'll be your waitress today" she said as she picked up two menus and led the way. Wow her ass was cute- wait what am I doing I'm with Lucy.

(Candice's POV)
Two customers came in, they looked like a couple but the guy (who was pretty hot) kept eyeing me and I felt a little nervous as I introduced myself as their waitress.
"Right this way guys" I said cheerfully, leading the way to a secluded booth table.
The girl was pretty and had luscious brunette hair and designer fashion. I was very impressed and I wondered whether they were famous. The guy stumbled a little as he got into his seat and fell into me.
"I'm so sorry sir, are you-you okay!?" I asked, alarmed I gripped his arm. His arms were muscular and he smelled really good. He steadied himself and laughed and said to his, I assumed girlfriend:
"Why didn't you save me babe?!" in a joking tone and plonked himself on the chair.
"I'll come back in a few minutes to take your order" I said, worried and shaken from the awkward situation.
I quickly walked back to Alyssa and her eyes were wide with shock, she stifled her laughing.
"What was THAT?!" She blurted, I guessed she'd seen the accident over there.
I looked away, then looked back at her facial expression. My eyebrows raised and I dragged her into the back.
"I don't KNOW, when he came in he kept looking at me!? His arms are so big, oh my gosh, is he famous??" I spilled frantically to Alyssa
"W-w-what do you mean 'IS HE FAMOUS?!' He's a Janoskian!!!!" Alyssa almost screamed in my face.
"That youtube group all over twitter?!- no waaayyy!!" I gasped and shook with excitement. I had to breathe to calm myself before I took their order. I now felt even more attracted to the guy because I don't know how I didn't recognise him. He'd always been my fave from that group.
As I made my way to their table with my pad and pen out my stomach was in my throat.
