Hola mi lectores! (Did I say that right? I sure hope so!) Well, this is my second story! I hope it's good! :) Love you guys so much! To the story!
"Jonesy! Get back here!" Nikki yells.
"No! Not until you agree to go on a date tonight!" he yells back.
"Okay, fine! Just give me my wallet back!"
He tosses it to her. She catches it and starts walking to Caitlin's workplace, the Big Squeeze. He follows her. When they get there, they sit in their usual spots at the table in front of the small lemonaide shack.
"Hey, Cait? Can I have one regular lemonaide, please?" Jen asks, obviously exhausted from her job at the sports store, the Penalty Box.
"Uh, sure Jen. What's wrong?" Caitlin asks as she squeezes the lemons.
"Oh, just Coach. He's got me running around the store stocking items, taking inventory, and all the pushups! My arms are so sore!" Caitlin nods as her friend vents.
"Well, at least you're not with the clones." Nikki says, shuddering. "They are so annoying!"
"They even annoy me!" Caitlin says. "I have to be careful when I shop there!"
"The Tacky Barn really bugs me. I can't wait until I find I new job." Nikki sighs. "That'll be relaxing."
"Well, I got a new job today! At Candy's candies." Jonesy smiles.
"Yum!" Caitlin says.
A young blonde woman wearing a pink and white striped shirt and white jeans walks up.
"Hey Candy! What's up?" Jonesy says.
"You owe me $130 worth of candy that wasn't for you! You're fired! And I'd like to see that money on my desk tomorrow morning, along with you're uniform and you're complementary gift basket! That is, if you haven't already scarfed it down." she rolls her eyes.
"Yes ma'am." Jonesy says.
She walks away.
"Oh man! How am I supposed to come up with that much money by tomorrow?" Jonesy hangs his head. "I screwed up big time."
"When don't you screw up, dude?" Wyatt asks, walking up with a coffee in hand, as usual.
"Haha. This isn't the time for joking dude. I got to have $130 by tomorrow!"
"Oooh. Sucks to be you!" Wyatt says, sitting down.
"Thanks for the sympathy, dude." Jonesy rolls his eyes.
"You're welcome. I'm just not in a good mood."
"Why?" Jen asks.
"My mom says she's going to try and save money by not buying coffee anymore. So I'm going to have to use my money to help my-"
"addiction?" Caitlin finishes.
"Yes. I've been on coffee withdrawl all morning." he sips his coffee.
"Dudes, how can I raise that money?" Jonesy asks while banging his head on the table.
"Well, why don't you have a garage sale?" Cailtin asks.
"You know, that isn't such a bad idea." Jen smiles.
"Who would want his old stuff?" Jude said, rolling up on his skateboard.
"A lot of people. My stuff is valueable. I touched it!" Jonesy smiled. "I'm going to have one! Can you guys come over today after your off of work?"
"I can."
"Sure."
"Why not?"
"Anything to stay out of our date." Nikki teased.
"Okay."
"Okay, I'll be at home picking out things I want to give away. See you guys later!" Jonesy runs off.
"What has he gotten himself into?" Jen sighs.
"Why doesn't he just ask his parent's for some cash?" Caitlin asks.
"Because we aren't all loaded like you, Cait." Nikki says.
"Oh yeah. Right." Caitlin smiles.
"Well, back to work for me." Wyatt slinks off.
"To the Tacky Barn! Yay!" Nikki says sarcastically. She rolls her eyes, stands up, and walks away.
"Masterson! Where are you?"
"Crap, Coach is calling. Gotta go." Jen waves and runs off.
"So Cait, when do you get off of work?" Jude asks.
"Umm... In about three minutes.. why?" Caitlin asks suspiciously.
"'Cause I was wondering if you wanted to go catch a flick with me..." Jude scratches the back of his neck.
"Oh. Sure! Let's go!" Caitlin takes off her hat, unties her apron, and shuts the Squeeze down. "What movie do you want to go see?"
"It doesn't matter to me." Jude smiles. Yes! I got a date with her!
"Okay. Let's watch Valentine's Day!" she holds his hand and pulls him towards the theater.
"Sure." They walk there.
"Two tickets to see Valentine's Day, my good man." Jude smiles to the ticket guy.
"That'll be.. $13.50."
"Okay. Here we go." Jude hands him the cash.
"Oooh! I want some popcorn!" Caitlin smiles.
"Okay. One popcorn and two large sodas."
He trades the snack counter assisstant money for snacks. They walk into the theater and sit down.
