"Mia, can you hand me the coffee?"
"Oh my gawd Aaron, just walk ten feet." I rolled my eyes. Jesus, it's not that hard! Aaron is our new intern, hoping to find a real job. Yesterday was his first day, and now he's meeting everybody in the work place.
"Mia go easy on him!" Ariana said. Ariana is the nicest one, always trying to find a way to make everyone happy. She was assigned to help Aaron with his tasks. She was only chosen because of her kindness. Of course, she has limits to her stuff. This crossed the line, since she hates meeting people. When she's friendly to guys, they usually think she's flirting. Only person who didn't think this is Jason. That was the only time she was flirting through. Funny enough, they're dating. Anyway, this crossed the line until they offered a bonus if she agreed. Dolla dolla bills y'all.
"Come on, he needs to get used to us!" I said. My names Mia Hart. Not like Maya Hart from that stupid show Girl Meets World. People call me mean, I say sarcastic. From the front, I look friendly, with a nice smile. But really I'm more the opposite. It's normal for me to respond with a snarky comment. But today wasn't normal. Aaron was here. Ariana sighed.
"I'm sorry, Mia's always like this." Ariana tried apologizing.
"Actually I agree with Mia." Jason said, walking in. "Sorry, I overheard from the break room."
Ariana shot a look at him. "Well, we should still try to be nice."
"Escu' me, can y'all take your argument somewhere else? Thanks." I said. The bell rang, signaling all workers to come back from their break. Alyssa, my best friend, would be coming in to talk about what some person said. To be honest, I don't really care about what she says, but I still listen. I pushed my long hair away from my face. Alyssa walked in, clearly frustrated.
"Mia! Just....just guess what?!" She said as she sat down in her desk across from me. I sighed.
"Brandon didn't want to leave his job?" I guess.
"Yes! And it was his break!" She cried. "And it was such a waste walking!" We work on the 8th floor. For the last month, the elevator broke. Now, you might be like 'Mia, you just have to walk 8 flights'. Well, you have to walk 4 flights to the 4th floor, walk to the other side, walk up 2 flights, then walk to the other side, and finish. The 1st floor people look normal, but if you look at the last 3 floors (8th, 9th and 10th) they have incredible legs. In fact, we even got praised for our fab. 8th floor consists of Aaron, Alyssa, Ariana, Erin, Evan, Jason, Jack, Jackie, me, and Mason. Secretly, we think we got hired because of our names. Jack's our boss, and we're part of a technology company. Our company has 4 floors. We call them A B C D floors. A has 1st floor, B is 3rd floor, C is 5th floor, and you guessed it, D is 8th floor. Because of our current elevator situation, no one come up here. Also, D floor (Or as we call it, the AJE Floor) doesn't have that much important work. Where is the rest of our team you say? They went to go get us smoothies. The kitchen is used for cooking brownies and cupcakes, and currently Ariana is showing the bean bag section.
"Mia? Mia!" Alyssa waved her hand in front of me.
"When are you and Brandon going out?" I asked.
"Well, actually...." Good, I have 10 more minutes to think. I looked out the window to see Jack trying to parallel park.
"Yo! Jacks parking!" I yelled. Suddenly, all of us grabbed our phones to record this. Jack can't park. Not even park regularly.
"Um... What happened?" Aaron asked.
"Bro, Jack's parking. This is a rare thing." Jason answered. I giggled. This is going online. When he finally did it, we all waited. I swear, you can hear them panting. As always, we went to the door to hear Jack panting. As he got to the last floor, we quickly went back to our stations. I went to an eBay page for purses. The door opened.
"Aaron!" Jack cried when he saw him. "I bestow upon you...." He took a drink from the box Erin was holding. "From Erin, a protein workout berry smoothie." He hand it to him cautiously. When he grabbed it we all clapped. This was a special moment. Your first smoothie. I wiped a tear. Erin grinned.
"Alyssa.." He looked around for her. When he finally spotted her, he took an aloha pineapple smoothie.
"Thanks!" She smiled big. Gosh, it was obvious. They clearly had the hots for each other. I still remember her first smoothie initiation. She dropped it on him.
"Ariana! You got all the caffeine! Your gonna die from all it!" Jack handed her LA Vida Mocha. A very caffeinated drink.
"I know Jack!" She laughed and rolled her eyes.
He went all the way to Jason, holding some weird PB & Banana.
"Just gross Jason." He shook his head disappointed.
"I know something that won't make you disappointed!" He smiled. Then they made out. Just kidding. Jason turned the bluetooth speaker on to play Rihanna. Or as Jack calls her, Ri-Ri. Then they made out. Jk. I'm weird.
"Mia! Mia..." He started before I glared at him. "Omg, your hair looks nice, wad'ya do? Gurl..." He said. I raised an eyebrow and smiled. He handed me my Mega Mango.
"Gurlllll!" I said, with finger guns. Humor. Suddenly, his smiled faded.
"I need to talk to you after this." He said. "Gurrllll." He walked away.
"Oh no." I bit my lip. Maybe getting my jeans sent here was too much. Or my purses. Or even my frappes. The unicorns my fave. Or the buckets of cupcakes.
...
I sat down in his office. I didn't pay attention much to it. Jack was serious. Something that didn't happen a lot.
"It'll be a lot, so I brought in frappes." He said, handing me one. "The head of this company called. He's seen your past work." My eyes widened. No one had ever seen it. It was a messy project, doomed with failure.
"He wants you to work with him."
I sprayed frappe all over him.
"Ugh.... I knew this would happen."
"Excuse me?? First of all, sorry. Second of all, what??" I said.
"He wants you to make a cleaner version of this world you made. How did you do it?" Jack asked.
"Just programming." Crap, I'm blushing. I never blush. I made sure that my project wouldn't surface. Deleted everything of it. I started a new life. Jack slammed his desk.
"You can see dreams!" He said. Yes, my invention allow people go see other's dreams. But not only that, it allowed people to dream together.
"I can't do it." I looked at Jack square in the eye.
"You can save lives!"
"No, I can end them."
"You can help people."
"More like ruin them." I said.
"You can save your mom..." He said. Currently, my mom was in a coma from an accident. "You could talk to her. Be a normal family." Only Jack knew about this.
"What if.."
"Stop the what ifs. You always told me to follow my stupid Dreams." He said.
"What dreams?" I asked. "Seemed like you stayed a boss."
"I'm already a boss. Now it's your turn." He said. I grinned.
"Go get them princess." He said.
"Thanks." I smiled. I walked out of there with confidence. I opened the door to leave the work space. Then I realized something.
"WHERE AM I SUPPOSED TO GO YOU SH-"
