Chapter 1

I'm Not Ready

Bob wakes up. He had another stupid dream where he lived in the ocean. This always happens. He probably shouldn't have watched Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy when he was kid.

BEEP. BEEP.

Or maybe his job was just too stressing. He should of gone to college. Being a fry cook sucks.

BEEP. BEEP.

He finished high school. He was a wimp as a teenager. He was called gay day after day. Just because his always hung around his best friend, Patrick. So he felt that college would be too much for him to handle.

BEEP. BEEP.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!" Bob yelled. He looked over to his bedside table.

"Oh yeah," he muttered, "It's a work day." He swung his legs over the side of the bed. He put his hands to his face.

He let out a big sigh, "I'm not ready."

Meow.

He looked down to see Gary, his tabby cat. He gave a small chuckle.

"Good morning, Gary," he said, "Time for me to go to work."

Bob went to his morning routine. He got dressed in his khaki slacks and dress shirt. He fed Gary and grabbed his hat and tie as he left out the door.

He walked down his driveway on to his sidewalk. He started off toward the direction of his job but was cut off by Edward on his bike.

Edward laughed and rode to work.

Bob hated Edward. He was such a douche. He secretly dreams him as a squid. Bob passed Patrick's place on his way to work. He walks to work because he never passes his driver's test.

When he got to the Krusty Krab, he clocked in. He's late, again. But why should he work so hard for a cheapskate. He dreams of being a good worker but he just can't bring himself to do it.

He grabs his spatula and waits by the grill. He waits for awhile actually. No one eats here until lunch. He here's the front door open. He looks out the kitchen window to see Langston walk in. He owns the Chum Bucket across the street.

He comes in everyday and buys a burger. He takes it with him and tries to make a burger to taste like but only Bob and Eugene know the formula.

Edward asks, "What do you want, shorty?"

"Shut up!" Langston retorts. "Give me a Krabby Patty."

Edward laughs and puts up the order. Bob makes the order but without the secret ingredient.

Edward hands the take out bag to Langston.

"One day," Langston says, "One day this place will be bankrupt."

"I don't care. It's not my money," Edward says.

Bob goes to back to the frying station. He pretty bored now. He wish he could go catch some butterflies. The day goes on. It goes pretty slow. Nothing exciting happens. Until a CRASH! Comes from the front. Bob runs out the kitchen and sees Edward on the ground. Mandy has her foot on his chest.

Bob sees a car speed off outside. He knows exactly what happened...
