Do you have the time
to listen to me whine
About nothing and everything
all at once
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone
No doubt about it

Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?

-Basket Case by Green Day

"Ari! Go take the orders at table nine!" screamed my best friend, Rhianna. I took my note pad and went over to a group of three boys. One had brown eyes and brown hair slicked back, which really bugged me. One had bright orange hair and was quite unattractive. The last one had shoulder-length red hair and emerald green eyes; I might be able to tolerate him for more than five minutes.

"Good morning! What would you like to order?" I said with a fake smile. I hate this job…I thought with utter loathing.

"We'd like two donuts and a muffin please." 'Slick' answered.

"Anything else?" I asked as I wrote the order down. 'Slick shook his head and went back to talking with his comrades. I went to the back and handed the order to Rhianna. She looked at it and looked back at me.

"Your penmanship sucks like a straw, you know that right?" she laughed. I glared at her and demanded the order.

"Training to be a doctor, right?" she laughed even harder. If looks would kill, she would have died a thousand deaths. I finally snapped and slammed the tray on the counter.

"SHUT UP!" I screamed at her. I gasped as I felt my aura spark a bit. She grabbed me and pulled to the back room. She went to go to the counter when the three boys confronted her.

"May we speak with you and your friend for a moment?" the redhead asked. Rhia cast me a reluctant glance as I came out of the backroom.

"What do you want?" I demanded. I really hope they didn't sense my aura slip. Rhia and I were a pair of fox demons with human forms, hence the group didn't notice our auras until Rhia ticked me off. In my demon form, I had waist length black hair and red fox ears and tail. Tails are overrated I always said. Rhia's demon form consisted of shoulder length purple hair with silver ears and tail. She loves tails, like I said: overrated.

While I had a depressing nature, Rhia was an optimist. My mother died when I was little, then my father…we won't get into that yet. Rhia was a little spoiled because her father was this huge business figure and earned a lot of money. Why Rhia was working, I have no idea.

"You're under arrest for being unregistered demons in the Human World." 'Red' told us.
