"Get to work." He said.

King groaned then walked back to the stove. I giggled and went to the drive thru window.

I had no idea what I was doing.

"Press the button on your head set. Then say hello may I take your order." A short girl said coming up to me.

"Umm. What?"

"It's not that hard. Press the button then say hello."

I did as told and held down a button.

"Uh, hello? May I take your order."

"I need 4 Big Macs with 4 large fries."

I laughed and typed in her order on the screen.

"What's funny?" She asked.

"All that food. Even though I can't see your face. I'm pretty sure your fat." I said while laughing.

This is your first day on the job Mo. Cool down. Don't pull her ass through the window and hurt her.

I cleared my throat. "Would you like anything else?"

"Already? I like it here." She pouted.

I pulled my keys out my pocket.

"You two did good for your first time being here. See y'all tomorrow at 4." Mr. Mac waved us goodbye.

We got into my car. I started it up and pulled out of the parking lot.

My phone buzzed in my back pocket. I slowly pressed on the brakes as I came to a red light. I pulled my phone out and looked at it.

Pops: make those runs tonight boy.
10:07 pm

"Green light." Mo said.

I looked up and the light was green. I stepped on the gas. While looking at the road and then at my phone I texted my dad back.
