Susan sighed as she walked home to her home. She was lonely ever since she moved away from her parents. Susan never liked the heat. So her first adult decision was to move to a little town in the Antarctic. Her parents were a little concerned but she had already made up her mind. Susan was a little lonely now though. Of the 50 days Susan was here she had been to a party, made some friends, and even found a little crush.
Susan turned the key to her door. Her older friends never hung around her any more. When she entered her house she saw one of her older friends inside talking on a small blue flip phone. He jumped at her presence and hung up. "H-h-hey Susan." He said nervously. Susan crossed her arms and looked at him. "Jake, why are you in my house? And I thought your phone was black." Jake smiled nervously. "What phone? Hey do you want to go to the sport shop?" Jake said suddenly. Susan raised her eyebrow. "Uh sorry but I don't have any money." Jake's expression turned from nervous to worried. "Come on we can window shop." Susan sighed as she looked down then at him. "Okay, but-" "Come on. Let's go!" Jake grabbed Susan's arm and dragged her outside. "Wait Jake I can walk on my own!"
Jake and Susan stopped outside the sport shop and Susan punched Jake in the arm. Jake held up his hands defensively. "Come on lets go inside." Susan walked in to find a man in his mid 30's at the counter. He looked at Jake and smiled. Jake took Susan over to him. "Susan," Jake explained, "this is Gary the Gadget Guy." Susan smiled and shook his hand. "Nice to meet you, Gary. My name's Susan." He had brunette hair that was thinning and brown eyes. Very different from Susan's dirty blonde hair and silvery blue eyes. Gary smiled and shook back. "Nice to meet you too, Susan." Susan stepped back and looked at Jake. "So why am I here?" Jake looked towards Gary. "Well we know how much you get paid for working at the coffee shop so I thought to give you a job!" Jake hugged her. Susan didn't hug back. "Wait, we? As in you discussed about my personal life with a strange man I don't know?" "Now you know him!" "That's not the point!" "I know. The point is I got you a good job!" "Ugh!" Susan smiled nervously at Gary trying to show she wasn't trying to be rude. "How much does this job pay?" "250 coins a month." Gary answered still smiling. "That's twice as much as I make working at the Coffee Shop." Jake beamed happily. "So will you work here?" Jake exclaimed giddily. Susan looked back and forth between Gary and Jake. "Okay." "Yay!" "I thought you were one of my mature friends!"
