Anything italicized is someone's thought bubble

I woke up to the morning light of the sun entering my bed room window. I blinked away the sleepiness from my eyes as I sat up and threw on my shoes before grabbing my name tag for the Ol' Picaxe. I had gotten a job there after a year, and to be honest, I actually like working. I feel like an official adult now.

After I got ready, I checked my laptop and all the messages I know my friends sent me in that morning. I look at them all and smile at Bea's.

'Hey, don't be late again. My dad will have your head if you run even a second late.' I laughed as I went to close my laptop, when I looked over at the bottom icon, under Angus' icon.

"Oh...Casey." I said under my breath as I closed my laptop.

It's been a year since we found out that he was murdered just to keep order in Possum Springs. That's basically what they were saying. The murder cult people to be specific.

After a while I wiped a way a stray tear before running downstairs with my nameplate on my chest, and grabbed a banana from the table before running out the front door.

I started eating my banana as I walked down the sidewalk with a smile painted on my face. I found it nice as I looked around, seeing everything for what it was...not just shapes.

"Hey Mae!" A voice spoke up as I looked to see Selmers sitting on some steps.

"Hey Selmers! Can't stay for a poem today. Have work." I said in return as I walked down the street some more as I could see the Ol' Picaxe sign out in the distance.

As I walked up to the door, I noticed a pair of red eyes like mine looking at me from the statue in between Picaxe and the old Party Barn. I looked over and could have sworn I saw him looking right back. I wiped my eyes from anymore sleepy sand and looked back, only to see no one was there.

"Geez...that was weird. I could have sworn I saw..." I began before the front door opened up and I was pulled in by Bea.

"You are lucky I saw you out there. Any longer, and you would have been..." Bea began as she looked at my face. I must have looked like I've seen a ghost. Maybe I had...again. "What's wrong?"

"Uh..." I began to say as I looked at the time. It was almost time for me to clock in and work. But part of me didn't really want to work on this day, seeing Casey's icon on my computer and thinking I saw...someone, looking at me, I kind of felt creeped out. "...Bea, I...I don't really feel up to working today. Is it okay if I take today off?"

"You okay, Mayday?" Bea asked worried.

"I...just don't feel up to it today. But I'll be in tomorrow to make it up." I answered as I stared at her with hope.

She sighed as she looked at the time. "You're late anyway now. Go home and I'll see you tomorrow." Bea said smiling before lighting a cigarette and heading back to work.

I grinned as I took off my name tag and ran down to Snack Falcon. I needed to talk to Gregg. I needed to tell him what just happened to me. And I was glad he and Angus stayed in Possum Springs for at least 1 more year before heading out to Bright Harbor. God knows I needed them around at the moment in time for me.

I kept running until I made it to Snack Falcon up ahead and ran in, seeing Gregg stoking a shelf full of chips and cookies.

"Gregg!" I yelled, making him look at me with a surprised look on his face when he saw me.

"Mae!? What's wrong!? I thought...!"

"I'm off now! Listen..." I began to say. "...I think I just saw Casey."
