Malia POV
Sunday came faster than I anticipated. It was like wow how did i get here? Well might as well just be a day called its barely even part of the weekend. I mean weekend is the day with out school and no worries. Plus you get to sleep until like 1 p.m. which is pretty amazing. Well the only exciting thing I did this weekend was go on that date with Mason, which was probably the best date I've ever been on. But, no stupid Sunday comes and just steps on my face like I'm a bug. But at least I'm not at home being a lousy potato just sitting on the couch and watching Netflix like the cave dweller I am. So basically i'm working.
You know just filling up the yogurt containers and restocking the paper cups. So not much. I'll be learning how to use the cash register soon. Because like my manager said, their is like only 3 of us or something.
"Hey Malia!" I turn around and notice everyone standing there.
"Hey guys, what are you doing here?" I ask and put the mop back in the wheely bucket thing.
"Well we just thought we'd visit you on your first day of work. And get some frozen yogurt." Mason says smiling with his hands in his pockets. I notice he has his target uniform on. (A/N I think the part in one of the chapters got erased were I said he worked at target on Sunday's Monday's and Wednesday, I don't know but I'm pretty sure it did so please just go along with it.)
"So are you going to work or coming to work?" I ask and lean on my mop.
"I'm going, I just thought I'd stop by. I can't get yogurt but they can. And speaking of work, I got to go." He he sighs and walks out the store waving and he mutters bye. Which everyone responds with a bye.
"Well I guess we'll just get our yogurt and let you get back to work." Cameron says and Issac rushes over to the cups and starts to fill up his cup with the assortment of flavors that I recently filled.
I pick up my mop and swipe it all over the floor. Soon i get bored and just draw pictures with the water. I put the wet floor sign down and wheel the cart back to the janitors closet. I look at the time, 3:50. I guess I could take my break now. I untie my apron and hand it on the hook with my name on it. I re fix my pony tail and walk back out to the main room. I take a seat next to Issac and he smiles at me before going back to his frozen yogurt.
"So Malia, how did your date with Mason go?" Payton asks smiling at me. I smile and look at the table remembering the events of Friday.

"It was great I couldn't have ever asked for a better night. Mason was so nice, and ah it was just perfect." I answer her question and everyone at the table smiles and looks at each other.
"And I hear you to are going to home coming together." Parker says raising his eye brows.
"Uh yeah, and he also said that i could probably go dress shopping with you too. BUt i can just go by myself If-"
"No no no no no, your coming with us. I mean your basically part of the gang." Cameron stops me and then slurps her smoothie.
'Really? are you sure?" I ask unsure.
"Yeah totally. we wouldn't tell you it if it wasn't true." Payton assures me and I let out a sigh of relief. and mutter an okay.
" I better get back to work." I smile and get up from my seat and go back to cleaning leaving my friends. I cant stop my lips from curling into a smile. My friends.

Mason POV
My shift at target was a bust. The didn't even need me. But I still had to say for the the like 4 hours they needed. At least I'm getting paid for doing little to nothing.
"Excuse me sir, can you point me in the direction of the kitchen supplies?" a younger looking girl asks. Maybe in her mid to late 20's
'Well that kinda depends on the type of kitchen supplies your looking for. Plates, bowls, and silver wear. Or like electronic mixers, blenders, toasters..." I say trailing off.
"Um... well kind of everything." she laughs. I smile kindly at here..
"Here let me show you." i make a hand gesture for her to follow me. i lead her down to the kitchen section of the store.
"So here are the utensils and plates and stuff. Here is a bunch of cool nick knacks to keep in the kitchen, like mason jar themed stuffed that people seem to like so much. Finally, here is the the electronic stuff. I tell her pointing to the 3 isles. She nods her head.
"Thank you uh..." She says looking over my chest probably for my name tag.
"Mason." I tell her and pull my name tag out of my pocket. I don't clip it to my shirt because i don't need people from other packs pestering me about being one of the youngest werewolves running for king. Actually the youngest. You'd be surprised to see how often it happens.
"Your the Mason." She says her eyes basically popping out of her head.
"Yep." I say popping the p.
"I hope you win." She winks and then pushes her cart down one of the isles.
"Yep," I murmur to no one in particular and walk back to the cafeteria area.
"Hey smalls, can I get a soft pretzel." I tell him and put a 5 on the counter.

"Sorry we are all out of soft pretzels." Smalls shakes his head.
"Your killing me smalls." I say and look back up at the menu."Just give me a icee." I say
"Small, medium, or large. Cherry, blue raspberry, or Pepsi?"
"Medium, and uh... surprise me." I tell him.
Few few seconds later he brings me a medium with a bright red slush. Ah he knows me so well. I thank him and walk over to the food section. If your wondering Smalls is like 15 and he is Connors kid. Conner's moms last name is Smalls and she did change it but people kept calling him smalls because when he was 13 he was only like 5'' but now hes like 5'' 5 which is pretty tall for the way hes been growing.
After I get half way through my drink some one calls me on the walky talky.
"Hey mason could you come over to the DVD section their are two girls fighting over the last One Direction movie." My co worker Ashley says.
"I'll be right over." I sigh and clip the device to my pocket and slurp down the rest of my drink and throw it in the trash. I jog to the movie section where two teenage girls from my pack are fighting over the movie.
I walk up closer and stand in between them and cross my arms. But they continue to scream at each other. I clear my throat as if to get their attention. They yell even louder. I try one more time but it doesn't work.
"Enough!" I say using alpha command. Even though that I found out yesterday i can't be alpha until I'm like 23 or something. Finally they shut their mouths and look at me with a scared expression.
"Here Taylor take this one, And Elsa just let me get one from the back." I tell them and shove the movie in Taylor's hands and run to the back and grab a stack of them. I hand Elsa one and she scurry's away. I put the rest of the stack on the rack and walk back to the front of the store.
I look around and see that the sky has turned dark indicating that my shift only has 2 more hours. I let out a groan and walk into the staff room where my Manager sits behind a desk.
"Hey Hannah." I tell her and grab a sandwich out of the fridge.
"Hey Mason can you do me a favor?" She says looking up from the computer.
"Sure I'm not doing anything." I shrug and rip off another piece of sandwich and chew it.
"Can you go work the electronic appliance section for the rest of your sift. Many has to go to his daughters soft ball game or something." She says. Many probably just wanted out of work.
"sure." I finish my sandwich and throw the wrapper away. I wave my hand good bye and walk to the back of the store. I hop over the glass counter and stand behind the register for what seems like an eternity before some one comes by some one I meant Issac, Cameron, Payton, Parker and surprisingly Malia.
"What are you guys doing here?" I say and grab a rag and squirt bottle and squirt off the glass and wipe off the stuff. People and their kids just like to put their grimy on everything.
"Well Malia got done with her shift and said she had to get some stuff for her room so we just came here." Cameron shrugs. She stands next to Malia. I guess my assumptions were correct because Malia wears a Teen wolf shirt that just says Teen wolf in black lettering and Cameron's shirt has a picture of Stiles that says. I'm always the little spoon. Always. (A/N i saw this shirt and really wanted but my grandma hated it and refused to by it because she didn't exactly know what spooning is and assumed it was something that god fronds upon when in reality it's just cuddling.)
"What do you need?" I ask her.
"Um... A book shelf, Guitar stand, and head phones." she says tapping her fingers together as she names everything.
"Well, book shelves are in the right corner of the store, a guitar stand and head phones can be found 5 isles to the right of where we stand right now.
she mutters a thanks before the girls go in the direction of the desk. The guys come closer to the counter.
"So did anything exciting happen today at the famous target?" Parker asks and slurps a Pepsi.
"Two girls got in a fight-"
"Ahhh meow." Issac jokes and i chuckle and shake my head as he swipes his hand like he has a paw.
"Over a One Direction movie. And it wasn't even anything physical they just yelled at each other." I shrug.
"Way to ruin the picture in my head." Issac pouts crossing his arms.
"Yeah well my shift ends in half hour so do want to go to the diner." And by diner i mean the diner in the pack house. Which my mom is the founder and head chef of.
"Sure." They both shrug and.
I turn the lights off in the show cases and lock everything. This closes early on Sundays thank the moon goddess. I hop back over the counter and we walk to the front of the store joking around on the way.
I spot Hannah closing the cafeteria area. i mind link her that I'm gonna head home early and she replies back okay.
Parker texts Payton to meet us at home after taking Malia home and they agree.
Finally away from work.

Noble
"Then, let joyous news be delivered to those who pass their lives in peace, For it takes only one twist of fate to throw their lives upside down And for those who unfortunate enough to encounter the whims of fate, Let it be reminded to them, that even their lives repeat a hundred times..." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lys Ravenlicht was no hero, nor was he a brave man. He was someone who had the better things in life and figured that he'd tread upon the path his late father had prepared for him as an appointed noble and a politician in his home country and he had no business whatsoever of being a hero. And yet, it took only one twist, one twist of fate, before all plans he had laid out for the rest of his life went down the tubes. Join him as he traverse the lands of Fymia, where the arcane had faded into the annals of time and yet persist in the most mundane of things. And as he found himself dragged deeper into a catastrophic series of events that would change his perception of the world, and the course of history for the world itself... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author's comments: The story was meant to be a satire of the Japanese animanga tropes.... until it got out of hand to the point I'm not sure it's a satire anymore. I hope you can find enjoyment in it nonetheless.
