The bus doors opened and I could finally get out, I jumped out and now I could see the whole panorama; colorful attractions, roller coasters, graceful buildings with cute drawings, except for one that looked very dark – that has to be the famous haunted house- , all of that behind the park entrance which had a big sign that said "Eight n' seven park". There was also another sign below that said "Tickets" with the written letters in different colors giving it a childish style.
I will be working in this lovely establishment for the next three months of summer. I have made myself a promise and it is that I am not going to use any kind of magic to do my duties ; no spells , tricks , incantations or evocations , anything involved with witchcraft . I am trying to leave the magic , that is why I got a job , with the extra money I would become completely independent from my family of wizards , so I could live like a normal person . Like a simple normal mortal. At least that is the goal.
As I was walking to the entrance I could see various cabins that are meant to collect the tickets, but they were all empty, that doesn't surprise me. The park opens at 8 am, I take a look at the rising sun and it should be like 6:30 am. Who needs a watch when you have the sun?
I sense the presence of another person. I search with my eyes until I found her, she saw me too and came closer; she was at the other side of the cabins, inside the park. She peered between the bars and said:
"I'm sorry but the park is not open yet..."
"Oh I know! I'm here because I got a job in here" I told her with a nice smile and she responded with a even nicer smile.
"Well, that's another thing" She start walking at the right " Follow me."She made me a sign with her hands and I start walking.
She seems to be the kind of girl who takes everything easy , her aura tell me that she like the sea and the animals that you can find in there , I can tell that she had a lot of friends. She drives me to a room that saids "Staff only" at the end of the line of cabins, I wait until she open the door from the other side and with a gently smile "Hello again".
"So what's your name? huh ?"
"I am known as Dawn" I put my hand in my chest.
"Dawn, that a nice name!" She said and I smile back "My name is Bridgette, I work as a life guard on the lake area .Where do you work?"
"Well I don't know yet" I said.
"You should talk to the Chef then , I'm sure he's waiting for us, he said that this year we have more teen employees than ever . He also said that that was disgusting but I'm sure that he didn't mean it"
"The Chef? " I asked "Is that a nickname ?"
"I don't know!" She shrugs and starts walking so I start following her "They have been calling him like that since I remember."
"They? They who?"
"The other employees , we are like 20 or 25 in total , at least the last year" She said as we were walking to I don't know where " But you don't have to feel intimidated or anything , they are all pretty nice people , well the majority . Hey! can I give you an advice? " I nodded in response; she took me by the shoulders so we were face to face "Stay away from the drama! I'm serious ! I know it might seemed impossible because of the amount of teens full of crazy hormones and as well crazy feelings but you look like a nice girl , you really wouldn't like to see your two best friends fighting for a stupid punk guy or your boyfriend becoming a jerk because he thinks that he is so cool on he's job as an entertainer and that everybody loves him which is not true . "She stopped when she saw my confused face .
"Just ... be carful with that ok?" She ends with that, I nodded and we both start walking again.
"I'm not going to be so tolerant this year so you toddles would listen to me, or I would immediately fire you!" An immense man with dark skin was yelling to a group of teenagers from the same age as me, I suppose "It's now official; pranks are strictly prohibited on this establishment! So if I see someone making or planning a prank like last year "He yells this and turn to see a boy with crest-like-hairstyle, he start laughing but stops when he put his finger on his chest and start yelling higher "I fire him or her or whatever it is!" The guy just started laughing again .
Bridgette, that was right beside me, whispered to me "That's chef, our boss and the guy with the Mohawk is Duncan, he did a prank to chef last year and he's still holding rage over him … "In a split second Chef interrupt Bridgette with his shouting "WHO THE HELL IS TALKING! I THOUGHT I ASK YOU TO HOLD YOUR STUPIDS WORDS!" Everyone stayed rigid, even Duncan which was irritated, I can see it on his aura.
"So do anyone of you living garbage have a question that you want to ask me ?"First time that I see him so appeased … And I have only knew him for five minutes !
"I have a question. A very important one actually "A brunette short hair peeked out from the crowd, her voice was confident and firm but with flashes of irritation all over it. Bridgette whispered me her name "Courtney" it fits her – Could you tell me why do I appear as part of the cleaning crew?! I know that is a mistake but seriously could at least you check the things that you write? I'm offended."
"Is not a mistake Courtney, you are part of the cleaning crew" Said the chef. I could hear various persons on the back whispering as Courtney put a face of repudiation "I have made sure that you had a job when none of your duties involved talking with our visitors. We are not going to retake last year experience."
"For the love of God! I have already explanted that to you!" She moves her arms to express her unconformity. Her aura is red; the color of the fighters, it fits her as well "That woman was bugging me on my break you would have done the same! All of us would have done the same! Come on! I'm not the type of person who likes to clean trash from other!"
Chef just ignored Courtney's naggings but Duncan didn't "Well at least he's not making you take care of other people's babies. This jerk thinks that making me the guide of the babies' area is some kind of punishment but is not, not at all! I'm not afraid of a bunch of toddles !"He said laughing.
"Great Duncan, but nobody ask you" Courtney replied rolling his eyes with and her arms crossed.
"Hey! Shut up Courtney you are just a dumb peevish" As he said this a redneck jump to his side and joining in the fight "Do not tell Courtney to shut up! She's better than you in any imaginable way"He gives a smile which she just ignored and turns around.
"Shut up Scott she's not your girlfriend anymore. You orange Dalmatian."
Duncan raises a smile and Scott an eyebrow "Is that so? I can play that game too green crested chicken" I heard an amount of people laughing at this childish conflict, Chef was just standing there giving kicks to the ground with one foot and constantly revising his watch, he's probably waiting for something or someone, maybe that is the reason why he is so quiet while two boys in here just started a fight. I turn my head and saw the two boy on the grown; one on top of the other knocking the other one. I dont understand where so much aggressiveness came from.I heard Bridgette sigh and the guy around me yelling and screaming excited about the conflict "This is the kind of drama that warned you about, Dawn, sometimes they are so senseless "She put her hands in her pockets and just lost her eyes on the ground.
"Okey this is more than enough, quit it!" A pale girl with hair of various colors; black and different tones of green, separated the two men. After that she didn't say anything more, she just gave them a cold reproachful look. A bright green and violet aura with touches of silver .I'm surprised that they obey her, she must be a very tenacious person.
A blonde girl with pink sunglasses entered the group carrying a box whose contents seemed heavy, was whispering loudly swearing. Once she came close to the Chef, she threw the box down, with great intensity and then I could see the content; T-shirts with the logo of the amusement park "8 n'7".
"Here they are! Thanks for not help me" She shouted.
"Dakota? What are you doing here?" Asked a curly brown hair guy.
"Ugh. I work in here now Sam. Daddy and Chris think is a good idea so I could get to know the park better and how everything work since you know … I will inherit it ."
"Really?! That's wonderful! I… mean that is terrible ! But look at the bright side I... " Sam said but Chef interrupt him "SHUT UP! GET YOUR UNIFORM AND GET TO WORK!"
Dakota growling started handing the shirts to everyone.
"But they are all M size, aren't there small size?" I asked when Dakota hanged me a shirt .
Dakota gave me a blank stare "Some weight wouldn't fit you bad "She said. Now I wish I wouldn't have said that . "And as for you a little less weight wouldn't hurt ya neither " She said and throw a shirt on the face of a blonde big guy who had the leave of Canada on his shirt .He smiled and responded :
"Thanks ! I appreciate when I get beauty tips" He shouted with a grim and put his shirt on over his first shirt . The shirt scarcely get to his stomach and it seems pressed . - It isn't so bad , is it ?- It took me a few seconds to realize that he was talking to me . I put a grin but nooded eventually. Then I notice that everyone was taking different roads and I ask him . " Where are they going ? Is it time to work already ? I don't even know where I would work yet ." He pointed a wall that had a blackboard on it and then he turn around and start walking towards a direccion . The shirt was so pressed that force him to walk like penguin . It is kinda of funny but I'm not going to laugh on his face even if he doesn't mind I swallow my laugh and walked to the wall .
I search my name in the blackboard but it was difficult , the handwriting is really neglected . I finally did it , I put my finger down my name and slide up to see what was supposed to be my job. Squeezing my eyes to try to understand.
"Sunday gatory?"I shouted to nobody in particular , thought I knew there was someone there and that someone didn't took to long to respond me .
"Sundae galaxy "Courtney said and put here hand on her hips "It looks like you are going to be my replacement . Stupid Chef ..."
"Oh , I'm sorry that people do not understand that although you act bossy and selfishly that does not mean that you don't care about them ."
"What ? What are you even talking about ? You can't just say random things out of nowhere ! What are you even implying that I'm weak or something ? " She shouted and look at me in the eyes with a frown .
"No no no I'm just saying that you shouldn't force people to think like you because that way they are going to think you do not care about what they think or that you do not care about them at all when in reality you do care about people but you do it your own way ." I said .
She look at me for a few seconds , then she turn around and walk away from me. I could barely heard what she said before leaving me but I am glad to have heard it " Good luck , Dawn " . A grim came on my face .
I started walking towards my new job, to a new opportunity and to an incredible summer.
Okey I was going to make it longer but when I wrote the "Good luck , Dawn" part I just felt that it was enough for a introduction jeje.
So this is my first fic and I have a lot of ideas but I would love to see yours too!
Dawn is a witch who is trying to leave the magic and become a normal person , if you wachted the movie "Bewitch " you may have notice the similarities so you can say that it was my inspiration ,but apart from that the rest came out of my head .I would like to make sure you guys understand the conflict between Scott and Duncan ; you see since Duncan in Tdas ( aka worst season ever) seemed to still have feelings for courtney and he mention that she was only close to Scott to make her jelly . I wanted to give more attention to that . Basically Duncan and Scott are fighted over Courtney who is both guys exes but they seems to want her back even thought she isn't interested at all . Also Duncan is still Gwen's boyfriend .-. so is pretty much of a mess . But this fic would not only center on the principals ! Those ones got attention enough , I would eventually add plots for more characters like Dakota - Sam , Lightning , Tyler , Zoey, Geoff - Bridgette , Cody, Chris, Blainley etc...
I hope you had enjoying it !
