(Y/N) POV
It was my first full day on the base after being picked up by a group who call themselves The WLF. I was given a list of tasks to complete through out the day, which was fine by me. Anything to keep busy in such a packed area like this is helpful.. The base had a pretty legit schedule system going, something I definitely wasn't used to after being alone for so long. Breakfast for the morning crew was at 8am, so I headed down to the cafeteria. My boots lightly squeaked against the shiny floor of the stadium halls while the sound of little kids voices going to class echoed.
I gave quiet hellos to the teachers gathering their students and entered the cafeteria. I kept away from the crowd and went straight for the line, I stood there patiently and squinting my eyes trying to see the menu.
"It's burritos amiga.. burritos every day. We eat them so much here you'll be having nightmares about them soon." A man with a full beard says behind me. I look at him and smile, while shrugging.
"If I'm dreaming about food then it must mean I'm eating good right?" I shoot back and he laughs nodding.
"Yeah if that's how you want to think about it. I'm Manny, I've never seen you around you must be one of the new people that got picked up yeah?" He says while joining me in moving up the line. Talking to someone already wasn't exactly on my list of things to do on my first day but he seemed really nice.
"I am, it's my first actual full day here, it's amazing how many people live here. It's different having a schedule relative to a normal life. I'm (Y/N) by the way." I hold out my hand to which he gladly shakes. Before I knew it we were next in line and grabbing our trays of food. "Well Manny it was really nice meeting you, hopefully we bump into each other again later in the day."
"Sí, sí you'll be seeing me again for sure I'm always around. If you ever need anything I'm your guy." He says and we part ways. I sat at the wall end of a pretty empty table, the other people sitting there were reading or just lost in their own world. I quietly ate my breakfast and went over my list. My first task after breakfast was bringing baskets of food up to the cafe for the chefs. Simple enough I suppose, I hope.
12:00 noon
I was pouring sweat after carrying so many boxes up and down the stairs. As I was about to bring up the last box of the day for my shift I hear a familiar voice calling out for me. I looked down the hall to see Manny approaching me. I smile putting the box down on a cart that was keeping the double doors open. "Ahh amiga, it looks like your first day is going.. sweaty. Here I'll take this for you, catch your breath." He says grabbing the box of vegetables.
