The atmosphere seemed to be happier than usual between the six sixteen year olds. Even Caitlin decided the conversation was more interesting then the new issue of her favorite fashion magazine and was sitting at the table with everyone. Jen wasn't uptight, Wyatt wasn't on the fritz, Jonesy didn't even notice the girls walk by, and Jude didn't reach for his skateboard once. This was an amazing feat but the miracle was the purple haired, baggy clothes wearing girl sitting in her own chair beaming a thousand watt smile. She laughed her heart out and she didn't complain once about anything, not even the clones, as unbelievable as it may sound. More surprising, when her break was over and it was time for her to go her smile still didn't falter instead with a playful wink she said her good bye and left. Her friends watched as she walked away with a slight pep in her step that wasn't there before.
"Now that was just beyond creepy," Jonesy said when she was out of sight.
"I thought it was nice seeing this side of Nikki," Wyatt disagreed.
"Do you hear yourself? This is Nikki we're talking about! When is she ever nice like this?"
"He has a point," Caitlin said bowing her head in shame at the fact that she actually agreed with Jonesy.
"Maybe she had a change of heart," Jen tried to stick up for her friend.
"True dude sometimes people see the errors of their ways and changes for the better."
" That's it! You guys can sit here and gossip like old lady's if you want but count me out! I'm going to get to the bottom of this," a very dramatic Jonesy announced as he got up from the table and marched in the direction of the Khaki Barn with a look of pure determination.
"You know he's probably using this as an excuse to go see Nikki?" Caitlin pointed out to her remaining friends who nodded knowing Caitlin was right but was still incredibly eager to see what drama would unfold due to Jonesy's prying.
"Later bruh gotta get back to Stick It before my boss comes," Jude said after a long moment of silence.
"Oh so you finally figured out who your boss was?" Jen asked.
"Not yet dudette but if he does show up I'll be there," and with that he grabbed his skateboard, Sally, and took off. After another agonizing silence Jen glanced at her phone for the time.
"Well unlike Jude who's living every workers dream, I have a boss. So see ya."
"Wait up Jen. I'll come with you. Bye Cait."
"Bye Jen. Bye Wyatt," Caitlin waved until they were out of sight and when she was completely positive that they were gone she closed the lemon and pulled out the new issue of Seventeen magazines. She flipped it opened and began reading it with new enthusiasm.
"I love my job."
