A/N this is my first ever attempt at writing something like this, my grammar might be bad but I tried my best, please let me know what you think

The suns bright rays shone through my clear window, painting the room with brightness. I groan as I arise from my ever so comfortable, I dreaded today, my first day at a new town. We moved into a small town, not many things to do, it's pretty much a dead beat town. Only good thing about this place is that it has an animal shelter, which starting today I work at. "Layla if you don't hurry, you're going to be late!" I heard my mother shout from downstairs. Forcing myself out of best I made my way slowly over to the closet, searching for clothes I can get dirty if needed. Taking out a pair of black skinny jeans with holes in them, "perfect" I hum, sliding them on, followed by a large, breathable shirt. I took off quickly downstairs, running into the kitchen, grabbing an apple, planting a quick kiss on my father's check before grabbing my bag, putting on my shoes, slamming the door behind me.

The town wasn't hard to navigate through, it was rather simple to get to the shelter, 'go down past Dreyar Electric Company then turn right pass up the McGarden Café the take a left and the shelter will be on the right hand side' is what I was told over the phone. The first place, Dreyar Electric Company was quite close to my house, only about a block away, once I reached it a tall man was walking out of the doors, he had stunning blonde hair and piercing blue almost grayish eyes, you could hear the classic rock music blaring from his headphones. I was almost hoping he wouldn't notice me and I could just slip away but of course that didn't happen. I noticed that the towering man was glancing down at me, it kind of made me uncomfortable, and giving him a small smile I continued on my way, wanting to get out of there as soon as possible. Next place to pass is the McGarden Café, it was a cute little building with a little garden out back it seemed like a great place to hang out at on days off. Not wanting to waste time I continued on taking a left at the corner and there it was a large blue and white building with the words 'Fullbuster Cait Shelter' plastered on top.

After taking a moment to gather myself and make sure everything was in place, I pushed opened the doors taking my first steps inside the building. The inside of the building was very nice, everything looked organized, there were glass holes in one wall to see the smaller animals like cats, and rabbits, and a door that read 'Please keep door shut. Dogs inside'. Sitting at the front desk was a little girl no older than 12 or 13 with blue hair pulled back into pigtails, "um hello I'm looking for the owners…" I say quietly, not quite sure what to do. "Oh Hi I'm Wendy, my parents aren't the owners and they aren't here right now but I can go get my older brother." Wendy said, not waiting for me to reply she took off behind the door leading to the dog area. Moments later the little blue haired girl returned skipping up in front of me, following behind her was a tall raven haired male with deep dark blue eyes. He was wearing a black shirt with dark blue jeans around his neck was a silver chain necklace with a charm that seems to resemble a sword with some sort of blue stone in it He's kind of handsome... Wendy grabbed his arms and smile, "This is Gray, be big brother he can help you with anything you need." And with those words the little girl left us. Gray took a heavy sigh before walking behind the desk and sitting down, opening up the laptop that was sitting there, "How may I help you?" He asked, a kind, gentle smile on his face. "I'm Layla today I was supposed to start working here." I replied, fiddling with my fingers, "Welcome Layla I heard about you, you're new in town right? I look forward to working with you" the next thing I knew he was already by my side holding out his hand, smiling I take it, "Yes that's right, thank you." Maybe this place isn't too bad.
