Amber: I rush in almost forgetting to lock my car. I burst through the doors crashing into the boxes of new books. I stand up and quickly stack the boxes before Tyrone came out and saw I was late again. I run and flip the sign to open and turn on the cash register. Taking off my jacket and my backpack I see Tyrone come out from the back with another box of books. He stops in front of the beat up boxes and turns to me. Placing down the box he walks out the door and yells
"going to get some coffee!"
"Can you get me some?" I say poking my head out the door.
"I thought you would have gotten some in the ten minutes you weren't at your job." He yells back
I roll my eyes and rip open the box of new books. I grab the first five books and throw them on the new shelf and continue the same thing till all the books are out of the boxes.I place the empty boxes by the coat rack.
I start straightening out the books and hear the bell on the door ring and a loud smack. I turn around and see Tyrone face down on the floor with his to go cup of coffee crushed spilled on the olive-green carpet. I burst out in laughter. Tyrone stands up and grabs a napkin and straitened out his hair while brushing off his sweater-vest. He throws a pile of napkins at me and walks into the back and yells
"Clean up the carpet!"
"But I didn't spill it!" I whined.
"That's what you get for laughing" he snickers.
I groan and blot up the ugly carpet.
