[Sat.u.r.day, Evening]This evening was uneventful like any other, boring would be how I"d describe it. Today"s regularly scheduled broadcast isn"t brought to you by your usual host, but instead by me, Ethan! I bet were expecting Owen, but he isn"t here.
I am at my job today, recently I"ve been forced to get a job and today is my first day, it"s a simple job in a little warehouse-like shop in the small city where we live. I"ve only been here for a few minutes and I was told to wait around for the other employee who will apparently show me the ropes. I"m not ecstatic but at least I"m getting paid. Maybe this will end up being good for me.
"Sorry, for the wait. What was your name again? Ah! Ethan!"
This was a voice I was all too familiar with, hearing it forced anxiety down my throat, I wanted to run away the second I heard her voice but instead, I froze.
"I-i d-didn"t know you worked here? K-Kaylee?"
NO ONE TOLD ME KAYLEE WORKED HERE! IF I"D HAVE KNOWN I WOULDN"T HAVE COME!
"OH! It"s you, Ethan, I thought the surname sounded familiar. I"m glad it"s you, since we already get along this shouldn"t be too hard, right?"
Don"t look at me with that cutesy smile, I"ve been through enough.
"Shall we get going?"
"ah, sure."
It took around half an hour for Kaylee to show me around the place and to get me familiar with the systems and how it all worked. As we were working late into the night business was slow and all we had to do was wait around.
"I"m surprised you got it that quickly, most people give up and never come back. cause our system sucks, that"s the smartest in the cla.s.s for you."
The people that ran were lucky.
"Yeah. I guess so."
"Hmmm. You know. I was just thinking. We kinda stopped talking after the first week, we don"t talk that much anymore."
What am I supposed to say? "Sorry I stopped talking to you, didn"t know you had a boyfriend and when I found out I got really depressed."
She even gave me her number but we never used it. I guess Owen and Sean were right, maybe it was a fake...
"I"ve b-been busy lately, studying."
"Ah. I should probably start studying. I suck at maths! I bet you"re top of the cla.s.s in that one. Hehe."
Her cuteness was killing me, she always has a smile on her face and handles everything as positive as possible. I wanted to have nothing to do with her, but I now find myself looking at her more.
"Ha, only just. Owen is just as good as me but fails cause of exam pressure." I can feel how awkward I"m being.

"Oh really? He does have gla.s.ses, kinda gives off that Mathematician vibe! Hmpf Hmpf Yes."
Kaylee pretended to push gla.s.ses up on her face as if a stereotypical scientist.
Just what am I doing?
This is too painful.
I wanna go home…
"Maybe you guys can help me study sometime, I"ll invite Ruby and It"ll be like a double date."
Please don"t say that.
"Maybe one day." I replied
I don"t want to deal with this anymore.
Why is it always me.
-DING DONG-
"OH! A customer, I"ll go sort them out, don"t worry, it"s your first day so you take it easy! Okay?"
Kaylee skipped off to help the customer whilst I watched her leave again, my mind circling and spiralling out of control.
I don"t know how much longer I can last.
I want to leave here.
