I push the door to Jo Kobe's open. "Hey I got donuts and bagels. Cain what do ya want?" I shout as I walk into the shop.

"- you must be Tris," someone says.

I look up to see an unfamiliar boy who looks around Cain's age.

He has dark brown curls and emerald green eyes. His shiny white pearls show when he flashes me a smile.

I step towards him slowly, "Heeey. Yeah I'm Tris, who are you?"

"Liam," He holds out his hand. "It's nice to meet you."

I shake his hand, "It's nice to meet you too."

Cain reaches for the paper bag in my hands. "I'll take the bagels."

He opens the bag and lets out a gasp.

"You don't have cream cheese?" he asks holding his hand to his hand.

I roll my eyes, "I'm sorry your majesty. Next time I buy bagels I'll fetch your cream cheese."

Cain and Liam share a look while Cain grins, Liam raises his eyebrows. 

Liam raises his eyebrow, "I like her already."

Cain smirks, "Back off she's mine."

I look at a the ground feeling the pink creep onto my cheeks. 

A new voice resounds around the shop. "Who's yours?"

In steps a girl around their age. She has tanned skin and long dyed brown hair that have been curled delicately and tucked into a high ponytail. Her soft brown eyes examine me intensely as she walks closer.She's wearing a white and black striped blouse paired with black ripped jeans. On her feet lie a pair of lace up boots. She has multiple piercings in her ears and she also had a nose ring. 

I look down at what I'm wearing and I suddenly feel uncomfortable. I'm wearing a plain black t – shirt, faded grey jeans and a pair of dirty white converse. This girl was also tall, around 5'9". I felt awkward in my little twelve-year-old-like-body. 

Cain slings his arm around my shoulders, "This lovely lady."

I let out a small laugh before pushing him away.

The girl smiles, "You must be Tris."

"Yeah, I am. I'm sorry, who are you?"

She smiles before pulling me into a hug, "I'm Zoe. It's nice to finally meet you."

I return her hug, "You too."

"So how long have you worked here?" Liam asks.

"Two days," I mutter.

Zoe laughs, "Being the newbie sucks."

I nod, "Agreed."

"What have you learnt, ya know, about the job and all," Zoe asks.

"Hmm, I need to have a knife and or pepper spray with me at work because all these guys try to hit on me and oh my gosh."

Zoe grins, "I know right, I keep saying 'I have a boyfriend' but something is wired into these guys brains that can't talk no for an answer."

At the mention of something wired into their brains, Liam and Cain begin to protest.

"Not all guys, I'm actually really reasonable when a girl tells me to go away or that she has a boyfriend," Liam says.
