Sam let out a soft yawn into his hand as he flipped the page of the textbook in front of him. The library had already announced that they were going to be closing in an hour, but he needed to finish this last chapter before heading back to his dorms. While he understood that anatomy was important when majoring in Health Fitness Specialist, but he doubted the spleen would ever come to be of use when he was training people. Nonetheless, he read the paragraph and wrote in his notes the function of the organ.
This was the last thing Sam had to do before he could finally collapse onto his bed. His roommate would probably grumble because it was late, but Sam needed to finish that last chapter before sleeping. Closing the textbook, Sam stood up and stretched his arms above, stretching out his back. He let out a sigh as he relaxed.
Without a second thought, Sam put his stuff away and headed towards the exit. Finally, after two hours of studying, he was ready for his soft pillow and a warm blanket. Just the thought of it made him smile.
"Hey, Sam, wait up!"
And the smile was gone.
Sam put on a smile even as he internally threw a fit.
"Hey, Ruby. What's up?
"Well, I heard that you were looking for summer job for the break." She smiled, holding her hands behind her back. "And I think I have the perfect job for you."
Sam squinted suspiciously, crossing his arms.
"Where at?"
Ruby's glee was visible on her face and he could feel apprehension bleeding into his bones. She held up a rolled paper that opened as she held it in front of his face.
Disney is looking for new character actors! Could you be the next Prince Charming?
It took a second for Sam to process what she was showing him and he rubbed the bridge of his nose in frustration. Normally he wouldn't mind her playfulness, but right now, he was really tired, and did not want to do this at all.
"Ruby... I don't have time for this and I'm tired."
"No, hear me out!" Ruby put a hand on his chest.
"I know that you took some acting classes, and you obviously work out so this is literally the best job for you. Last year's Hercules isn't coming back, and you would be perfect." Ruby begged. "Look, I'm Meg, and I don't want some macho creep flirting with me every day, and if you did it, I wouldn't have to worry about that. It's a win win, Sammy. You get money; I get peace and a friend." She smiled, wiggling her eyebrows.
Sam gave her an unimpressed look, but he begrudgingly took the paper and looked at it.
"The pay isn't that bad." His voice tinged with surprise.
"It's not a bad part time job, but warning, Disney doesn't really do raises." Ruby shrugged.
Sam folded the paper and put it in his back pocket.
"I'll look into it. Good night, Ruby." Sam turned and headed towards the exit.
"I better see your application within the next week, because I'm putting in a good word for you!"
Sammy gave her a sarcastic wave as the librarian shushed Ruby.
Yeah, so forewarning, chapters 1-14 where written like two years ago and lack experience, I don't actually start writing in present time until chapter 15, so I hope you enjoy the ride.
