I woke up from a loud ass thud that came from my window. I shot up and started breathing heavily since I could sense a bad presence. Something came crashing into my window. I saw Tiger get scared to. There was a man with a bat and he swing it to my window so hard that the whole window broke and shattered into my room. I tried to scream but I couldn't nothing came out of my thought not a single noise. Next thing I knew I felt water on my face.

It was a nightmare and someone heard my screaming and splashed water on me to wake up. It was.... Alan ?!? He splashed water on me. "Sorry it's just tht you were having a nightmare and you were screaming and I didn't know what else to do I'm so so sorry if you want ill get you a towel" he was panicking I could tell he felt bad. But was that a nightmare holy shit that scared me. "Alan it's fine alright" "Yeah-yeah sorry Sof" he said and got me a towel and tried drying me and my bed. He failed miserably but it's the thought that count right?

Anyways skip to 10:00 am and me doing my morning routine. But apparently Yeah-Yeah spent the night last night and earlier he was walking to the restroom and heard me screaming and having a nightmare. So he helped me and explained everything. Currently we are all eating breakfast. "So what was all that earlier?" Benny asked curiously while gulping orange juice. "What do you mean" I asked and took a bite of my toast. "What's going on with you and yeah-yeah?" He said straight up. I heard Alan stop and choked on his orange juice at the question. "Uh nothing Benny man I would never and you know that" he said honestly. But I guess they were talking with their eyes ?! Idk but they could communicate without actually saying anything and they were going back and fourth. "Ohhkkk we'll i have to get to work I'll see you guys later" I said and excused myself. "WORK!?" Benny said practically yelling. "Woah chill Ben damn. And yes I have a job" I said and walked outside and grabbed my skateboard.

It was 10:48 am and I still had less that 15 minutes to spare so I went to the liquor to find some gum. I walked inside and went straight to the counter where they kept all the gums. I picked out a bubblegum and a mint one then went to pay. "Good mornin'" the guy said in an accent. Huh cool. "Morning" I said with a small smile. I didn't really like interacting with strangers that much-especially in the mornings. "This all?" He asked while scanning the first gum. Well no fucking shit it's all i legit just put all my items on the fucking counter dumbass. "Uh yes" I said nicely. I don't what has gotten into me this morning. Probably cuz I got woken up by getting soaked. " uh hello you there little miss?" He asked I guess I was daydreaming. "Uh sorry" I said snapping back to reality. "Anyways your total is 3.27 dollars please" he said. I nodded and handed him a $5 bill. He was gonna give me the rest but I refused. "Oh just give that to the donations for the uhh" I was reading the bucket for donations for st. Judes children's hospital. "St. Judes children Hospital" I said kindly and grabbed my stuff and walked out.

Ugh today I'm just out of it honestly.

I finally made it to the store. I checked the time and I was 3 minutes early. I walked in and saw Jordan this time at the counter. He looked cute just sitting there feeding the bird that's always at the counter side. I think his name was Spike since it said on his cage.

"Good morning" I said and walked next to him. He looked at me and smiled. "Good morning sof" he closed the cage and put the food away. "So what first boss man" i said. He laughed a bit. "Well first I have to show u how to change the water in the fish tanks" he said and started walking to the back. I followed behind him quickly.

"So i have to actually empty it out?" I asked confused l. "The fish wouldn't be able to breath without water" I said concerned. He smacked his head and giggled. Did I miss something? "Sofia u put them in there for now thennnn you empty the dirty water thennn you clean the tank and lastly you put them back in with new water. See not that bad right?" He explained. I'm a fucking idiot.

—time skippppppp—

"Good job" Jordan said as I fed the dogs in the back. I smiled and nodded. Next was the part I dreaded the most. Cleaning up shit. Can't be that bad right. Was the last thought I thought to myself before smelling the stench of shit while walking to the dog pooping place. Oh shit.

I was gagging so much and I saw from the corner of my eye Jordan trying not laugh. "Ugh stop laughing it stinksss" I said and threw away some poop. "Yeah you'll get used to it princess" he said and let out his laugh. I rolled my eyes playfully. But the thought that he called me princess was in my mind even though he didn't even mean it like that. Finally I finished cleaning up the poop and added some more pads and chew toys.

—time skippp—

I walked back inside and saw Gerald talking to Jordan. I didn't want to interfere so I just started stocking the shelves. I was stocking the dog food on the other side of the shop when I heard Gerald call out for me. "Sofia can you come here for a moment please" I stopped in my tacks and was confused. Did I do something. No. Did I say something. No you haven't even talked to him all day. Did I forget something. Hmm maybe I don't know. I was arguing with myself but then just stopped thing and walked over to them .

"Yes?" I said and smiled politely. "Good morning first of all. But I just wanted to thank you for doing such a great job. How long have you been here?" He asked curiously. Uhhh I checked my phone and it was 2pm . Woah time went by really fast. "Uhh exactly 3 hours sir" I said and put my phone away. "Woah that's-that's good and you haven't token a break yet?" He asked concerned. "Well yes and no. I took like a 5 minute break for water but thts it. And it's ok I don't really need breaks" I said . He looked shocked. Idk why cuz honestly it's better to wait because if I take a break then I'll get distracted by my phone or somthing. "Oh alright then we'll uh seems like everything's great. Here you go as promised" he handed me 30 bucks. "Thanks you si-Gerald." I said and corrected myself. He nodded and smiled.

—time skipppp—

"So you really spend all day just playing baseball?!?" I said shocked. "Mhm wouldn't want to do anything else." He said and threw the ball at me. We were playing catch. "Wow and I thought my brother was obsessed-no offense" I said quickly. "None taken its fine" i said and caught the ball. "So I'm guessing you don't play what's so ever" he said and threw it. "Yeah noo I'd weather spend my time painting or hanging out with Tiger or even baking. I don't really do sports that much. But I do have to play a sport for school well at least my old school" I said and threw the ball again. "What sport" he asked and caught it. "Softball" I said and caught the ball. "Nice that's kinda like baseball." He said at this time we were already bored.

"I'm boreddd" I said to Jordan as we sat down on the bench. "Well what do you wanna do ?" I asked while swing my feet. He shrugged his shoulders. "Wait do you watch OBX?" He asked me. do i watch OBX. DO I WATCH OBX?!???!! "Tess of course I do. Do you?!" I said excitedly. "Is Ward Cameron a dickhead?" He asked and smiled. "YESSS" I was so excited someone finally watches something I watch. "Oh my god didn't they come out with a new season like today or somthing" I asked even more excited."ohh yeah your righttt they did. Hey wanna watch it at my house?" He asked me.

I said yes and we started walking to his house well I was skating there.

A/n to be continued.
