**Also, I've never skateboarded before in my life, I have no balance at all, so I probably wont name anything specific! Also, if I get something wrong, go easy on me, I'm not sure what everything is. **
"So what are we going to do today?" asked Scotty as he stopped in front of his friends.
"Don't know. You seem to be having fun," chuckled Kaci.
Scotty scoffed and jumped back on his skateboard and rolled away. Kaci shook her head as she watched her brother do a few tricks in the plaza. The college they attended was out for break but there were still people all over the place. A few of Scotty's friends rolled over and started skating with him. Andrew, Dee to most of his friends, rolled over and sat down next to Kaci.
"What?" she asked not looking away from her book.
"Scotty said he wants to head to the skate park. Wanted to see if you wanted to come," said D.
"Maybe another time. Tell Scotty that I am heading to work," said Kaci.
Kaci stood up and walked away from her brother's friend. She heard Dee roll back over to where her brother was standing and tell him she was going to work. Scotty and Kaci had an understanding; if Kaci said she was heading to work it meant that she wanted to get away from Andrew. It wasn't that she didn't like him, he was fun to hang around, but she could only take him in small doses.
Kaci really did have to go to work, but she didn't have to be there for another two and a half hours. She reached her car and tossed her bag in the backseat. She climbed in the driver's seat and started the car. She pulled out her cell phone and called her boss, Jay.
"Big Jay's," he said answering the phone.
"Hey, it's Kaci," she said. "You go a problem with me coming in early?"
"Never. We could always use the extra help," he chuckled.
"Funny," said Kaci. "I will be there in a few minutes. I'm at campus."
"See you when you get here," he said hanging up the phone.
"Who was that?" asked Michael walking into the shop.
"Kaci. She is coming in early," said Jay.
"You have got to stop doing that," said Michael.
"What?" asked Jay.
"Letting her come in early. We can't pay her overtime," said Michael.
"I just said she was coming in early. I didn't say she was working," said Jay.
"Jayson, you have got to get over your obsession with the girl," said Michael. "Because that's what she is, a girl!"
"Who has an obsession?" asked Kaci walking in the front door.
"No one," said Jay.
"Right. So ya'll weren't just talking about me coming in early and how Jay is absolutely in love with me. But I don't reciprocate his feelings and that you don't have the money to pay me extra for coming in early?" asked Kaci placing her bag behind the counter.
Both men stood there completely awestruck. Kaci started laughing as she pulled a magazine out of the rack and sat down in the chair.
"You really need a bell or something for the door," said Kaci.
"That's not funny," said jay.
"And FYI Michael, I'm not going to be working for another two hours. I just had to get away from Andrew," said Kaci.
Michael nodded his head as he sat down in his own chair. They sat there for another twenty minutes before someone came in wanting to get something down. Kaci sat in her piercing chair and talked to Jay while he tattooed.
"So are you going to travel this summer like you planned?" asked Jay.
"Haven't decided yet. It all depends on Scotty," said Kaci.
"Why?" asked Michael.
"He has been talking with this guy from Element about going Pro," said Kaci shrugging her shoulders.
"Not your thing?" asked Jay.
"Never was," said Kaci. "I've stuck with a hobby that wont get me hurt."
"No, the worst that could happen is that you get carpel tunnel," chuckled Michael.
"Shut up," chuckled Kaci.
That had been the running joke at the shop since Kaci drew a lot in her free time. Kaci jumped down from her chair and walked over to the flash hanging on the wall. She flipped through the wall charts to see if anything had been added. She sighed and picked up one of the books. As she went to grab one off the table and saw a book with her name on it. She picked it up and flipped through it: it had copies of some of her drawings she had done for the shop when she first started there.
"OH MY GOD! I have a book!" shouted Kaci.
"It's just a book," chuckled Michael. "But we were running out of room to hang the stuff in the office, so we decided that we had enough for a book."
"Yay!" chuckled Kaci.
Kaci laid the book down and looked up at the clock. She had ten minutes before she was supposed to clock in. She walked into the office and signed in for the day and walked back over to her chair.
"Why do you do that?" asked Michael.
"What?" asked Kaci.
"Clock in early and leave early?" asked Michael.
"Because ya'll let me," chuckled Kaci.
"She's got a point," laughed Jay.
"You open?" asked someone walking into the shop.
"Yeah. What can I do for ya?" asked Jay shaking the man's hand.
"My friend wants to get a piercing," he chuckled.
"What kind of piercing?" asked Jay.
"A nipple ring," said the man.
"Bam, man, come on. I was joking," said his friend.
"Kaci? You on the clock," asked Jayson.
"Yup," said Kaci from the backroom.
"Good. You've got a customer," laughed Jay.
"What's so funny?" asked Kaci walking into the lobby.
Everyone's eyes went immediately to Kaci. She had changed into one of her "Big Jay's Tattoo's" shirts, which fit tight on her.
"Okay, it can't be that bad," said one of the guys.
"He wants a nipple ring," said Bam, not taking his eyes off the girl.
"Okay. Come on back," said Kaci.
The guys followed Kaci into the next room. She grabbed a few things from one of the cabinets and set them out on the table.
"Okay. Jump up in the chair for me and take your shirt off," said Kaci. "These are new needles, everything will be opened when I am ready to do the piercing, and everything will be disposed of afterwards. Any questions?"
"How bad is it going to hurt?" he asked.
"Well, it all depends on your pain threshold," said Kaci.
"I do okay with pain," he said.
"You cry like a bitch, Dunn," said Bam.
Kaci chuckled as she readied everything. Jay walked in and eyed her, making her laugh even more.
"Go away Jay, or I'm gonna fuck it up," said Kaci.
"Yeah, go away. I don't want her fucking it up!" said Dunn.
Kaci chuckled as she pulled out her sharpie marker, "Which one?"
"Both," said Bam.
"What! No, pick one," said Dunn.
"I'm paying for it. He is getting both of them," said Bam. "I'll pay extra if I have to."
"I am going to put the standard barbell in, and you can decided if you want different rings," said Kaci.
"What are the perks in this?" asked Dunn as Kaci marked the spots.
Kaci grabbed her clamp and stepped in front of Dunn and put it in place. She grabbed the needle and positioned it on the dot.
"Perks? So far, I've found that it's really great during sex," said Kaci as she pushed the needle through.
"What!" said Dunn "SHIT!"
Kaci chuckled as she finished off the piercing.
"You've got yours done?" asked Dunn.
"Yeah. And you are doing better than I did. My friends had to hold me to the chair," said Kaci.
Kaci got the other nipple pierced and started to clean up her station. She cleaned Dunn up and went through the steps of taking care of the piercing if he was going to keep them. They all walked out into the front lobby followed by Kaci a few minutes later.
"You didn't tell him you're 'Don't knock it 'til you try it' rule?" asked Michael.
"Didn't need to. Told him mine were done when I did the first one," chuckled Kaci sitting down on one of the tattoo chairs.
"What?" asked Dunn.
"I have a rule when I pierce. I don't do anything below the belt because I don't have it pierced. With everything else, with the exception of a Monroe, I have or have had," said Kaci.
"What do you have pierced?" asked Dunn.
"Two industrial bars, eyebrow, lip, tongue, nose, belly button, and my nipples," said Kaci.
"Damn," said Dunn.
"We are going out partying tonight. You defiantly have to come!" said Bam.
"Can't. I've got finals tomorrow morning," said Kaci.
"When are you out for summer anyway?" asked Jay.
"After this week," said Kaci.
"Travel, yea or nay?" asked Michael.
"Got to talk to Scotty first," said Kaci.
Michael was fixing to say something with Scotty burst through he door.
"I got it!" shouted Scotty.
"Sweet!" said Bam high fiveing Scotty.
Kaci rolled her eyes and picked up a magazine.
"Did you hear me Kace? I got it! I'm part of the Element family! I'm Pro!" shouted Scotty.
"Not deaf, bro," said Kaci. "I heard you the first time."
"Aren't you happy for me?" asked Scotty.
"Yeah, I just get to travel by myself now," said Kaci.
"Damn. We were going to do that this summer weren't we," said Scotty.
"Yeah, but your Pro tryout got in the way. It's okay. I can push it off for another four years until I can find someone willing to go with me," said Kaci.
Kaci stood up and walked back into the office where she knew Scotty couldn't follow her. Scotty cursed under his breath as his sister walked away. Bam's hand on his shoulder brought him back to the conversation.
"What was that about?" asked Dunn.
"We have been planning a trip overseas for a few years and we were going to go this summer," said Scotty. "But I can't now and she wont go alone. She can take care of her self, no doubt about it, but she doesn't like traveling alone."
"Damn. Maybe you can still make the trip. All depends on the schedule. But for now, you need to get your shit ready to leave end of next week," said Bam.
Scotty nodded and collapsed on the couch. He was going to wait on Kaci to come back out so he could reason with her.
