BOXER

She was wearing the same outfit as Calum, so it was evident that she was a fellow co-worker. Brielle couldn't help but notice how she was brutally tapping on her phone with a frown plastered on her face.

Calum noticed Brie staring at the girl and decided to introduce them once Brielle didn't say anything. "Oh, this is Savannah. Sav, this is Brielle; the girl I was telling you about," he said, walking closer to the girl with Brielle closely following behind.

Brielle gave Calum a confused look that he didn't see, hoping that whatever he told her were positive things. Savannah looked up at the two workers and her irate face suddenly lit up.

"Oh, so you're Brielle! God, I'm so excited to have someone new work here. I couldn't stand the last girl," She confessed as she jumped down, holding her hand out and smiling; just as Calum did.

"Yep, that's me."

Brielle couldn't help but chuckle at how quickly Savannah's vibe changed. She took her hand and shook it as she returned the smile. Brielle noticed that Savannah's hands were a bit sweaty, probably from how hard she was gripping her phone.

"Let me know if you need anything. This dweeb," Savannah glared over at Calum. "Is probably the worst teacher. They should've let me train you, but oh well," She remarked, shrugging.

Brielle grinned as she glanced over at Calum to see his reaction to Savannah's insult. He looked at her with squinted eyes, although he was slightly smiling so Brie could tell he didn't take it too personally. It made Brielle feel more comfortable, knowing that they joked around with each other.

"Anyways..." Calum started, although he made sure to quickly stick his tongue out at Savannah (in which she returned) before continuing. "I'm gonna go get your apron and shirt, I'll be right back," he announced before sauntering away, leaving Savannah and Brielle alone.

Savannah waited until Calum was completely out of the room before speaking up. "He's a great guy. I think you'll really like him."

Brielle looked back over at her co-worker, who had jumped back onto the kitchen counter. She was kicking her legs against the counter underneath her as a small smile remained on her face.

"He seems nice," Brielle replied, as she sat down in a chair that wasn't too far from Savannah. And he did seem like a really nice guy. Except for the two times that he accused her of stealing a Chanel bag.

"Yeah." Savannah nodded, agreeing. It was silent for a minute and Brielle started to feel extremely uncomfortable. It seemed that the silence made Savannah uncomfortable too, as she spoke up once again. "So, what made you decide to work here?"

"Um.. money," Brielle admitted as a grin appeared on her lips.

Savannah chuckled at Brielle's response as she had the same reason. But then again, who would really work at a smoothie shop for any other reason then to get paid? "Same."

Calum walked back into the room, interrupting their attempted conversation. He had a black apron and shirt in hand, and gestured them towards Brielle with a smile. "Here. Put them on quickly because we still haven't gotten to the actual smoothie part, and we only have like 20 minutes til the shop opens."

Brielle took the clothing and quickly stood up once Calum notified her that there was only 20 minutes. She needed to make sure that she had enough time to learn how everything worked here, as the last thing she needed was to screw up on her first day. She started to walk to go get changed, although she realized that she had no clue where she was supposed to go. She opened her mouth to ask, but Savannah interrupted her and it was like she read her mind.
