Fuck.
Fuck this.
Fuck you.
Fuck a duck.
Cause fuck.....it's Monday.
I'm currently on my to work right now and I could feel myself drifting behind the wheel. My body was moving, but my head was not functioning. This was not the safest thing in the world.
Today, I had to talk to my boss which was something I wasn't mentally prepared for. If only Jason informed me ahead of time rather than telling Ashley to meet him. I can't bare to lose this job. All the money I'm earning has to go straight to my rent.
I entered the back door of the restaurant and immediately bumped into my boss. "Uh hey Jason," I greeted him with a fake smile. "Office now." he demanded without greeting me. He walked away waitron for me to trail behind him. Why does he have to be such a bitch.
He didn't have to be all grumpy. Jason was pretty enthusiastic when I first joined, but I guess he's slowly disintegrating with boredom for spending years here.
Also, his office wasn't even an office for crying out loud. It was a closet full of with supplies with a small desk placed in the middle that took up practically the whole space.
I walked into his "office" and squeezed myself in, walking past a few boxes in order to fully be inside and visible for him to see me.
"So-" He stacked some papers together before clasping his hands together, looking at me dead in the eye.
"Next week we have a trainee. The new person will be joining our staff and I want you to train her." I could feel myself become less tense. I really thought I was gonna be fired. But this was obviously much better, I mean, we barely get new people. If we do, they end up leaving fast from how Jason acts. It was hard to tolerate him.
"Why me?" I questioned. I personally didn't mind training someone, but I've never done it. Hopefully it doesn't feel like babysitting someone. I'm too impatient for that."Because out of everyone in here, you're the best. Hate to admit it, but you're great at your job."
I wanted to smile at the compliment since I don't get that often. But I knew if I let a smile slip, he'd tell me to knock it off.
"Thank you sir." He rolled his eyes. Douchebag.
"Yeah, yeah. Don't let that get over your head." He combed his slick back gelled hair with his hand. He better be grateful for his hair, because i'm sure it'll go away soon from how mad he always is.
"Okay, so, starting next week I want you to teach her."
"But do I still have to work?" It was a good question to ask. A main priority.
"No, because I want you to teach her and really focus on her. I don't want her tearing this place to shreds. You'll be off for next week. Jack will take over your shift." I once again tried hiding my smile. I bit my lip to prevent myself on making a face. It was extremely hard, especially since Jason was staring at me.
I couldn't wait until I told Ashley the news. I just know she would be beyond jealous about me being chosen.
I was never the cocky type or show off, but Ashley made it hard for me not to do so when it came to her.
"That means a lot sir. Thank you again." I was genuinely touched for such a responsible position.
"Ahh, don't thank me. Thank you for agreeing," He spoke with a small smile, but quickly gave me a stern look as he realized what he did. He cleared his throat breaking the awkward tension. "Well go ahead and get back to work." He immediately got up from his seat and gestured me to get out.
"Okay by-" Before I could finish, he pushed me out and closed the door behind me.
Lunch break came along which I've been waiting for. Two hours of fast walking back and forth with trays and serving food for awhile was tiring. I definitely needed this break more than anything. I was now eating a sandwich that the chef, my friend, belle made for me.
Before taking another bite my phone vibrated. I groaned out loud. I placed my beautiful sandwich down on my plate and took my phone out of my pocket.
Unknown number: Are you a Cop?

Something: ok i want you to put me as "queen" as my contact name. i wanna feel superior

Something: yeah,why?
Me: oh nothing nothing
I quickly changed her contact to "queen" . How odd of a pet name. Personally never used it and seemed to like it.
Queen👨🏻: Done?

Queen👨🏻: ahaha i feel so powerful and unstoppable
Me: woah woah don't get ahead of yourself cowgirl
Queen👨🏻: Make me a sandwich bitch!

Queen👨🏻: We're gonna have beautiful kids together! ;)

Queen👨🏻: you know the dealio. anyways back to skateboarding
Me: okay what about it
Queen👨🏻: Can you teach me how to ride one
Me: sure if we ever meet in person
Queen👨🏻: omg YAYY!!
"Hey Y/N get back to work. Your break is over. Stop slacking." I looked up from my phone to see Jason now staring down at me. I stared back at him, having this awkward staring contest. Out of nowhere, he unexpectedly banged on the table causing me to flinch.
"Yes sir." I mumbled. I could feel my heart fasten it's pace from when he banged the table in front of me. Luckily, someone called him over which made him break our stare. He walked away without a word.
Me: i have to go now unfortunately. cya bud
Queen👨🏻: aww bye! xxx
"Who were you texting?" I heard causing me to jump again, almost dropping my phone in the process. First the table banging and now a jump scare? Not a great combination.
"What the hell? Don't do that. " I said with a slight annoyance in my tone. I got up from my seat to collect my trash and throw it away. "Couldn't help it. You look so invested. Was it the girl?" Ashely felt like she was getting ready to bombard me with questions. She can be very nosy sometimes, but I learned over time to deal with it.
"Maybe, maybe not." I said in a playful tone, shrugging my shoulders. I dumped my trash right into the trash can. "So mysterious." She wiggled her eyebrows as she followed me.
"Ashley get your ass back to work!" Jason shouted from the other side of the store. I'm surprised the customers haven't sent out a compliant yet. They probably enjoyed the show that came from our boss. "Sorry boss." Before leaving Ashley moved closer to me.
"Tell me all about it after work," she whispered in my ear then walked away.
