~~~Chapter 2~~~
Johnny couldn't get Zak out of his head, no matter how he tried. He figured he'd be fine in the morning, but he felt different. Johnny, what's wrong? You seem troubled by something. Tell me. "Nothing's wrong, Nailbunny, leave me alone." Johnny, don't think I can't tell something's wrong. Could it possibly be, a girl? Johnny's eyes widened. Johnny? Thinking about a girl? Impossible! He hates everyone! Sneered D-boy. Our boy has a girlfriend? Good for him! He should be happy, he doesn't get chances like these often. "I DON'T HAVE A GIRLFRIEND! I barely even know Zak! She just happened to bump into me on the street!" So, her name is Zak. What does she look like? "Like any normal person would, tall, skinny, solemn…lonely…" I guess you've found the perfect match then, Johnny. "I already told you, I don't have a girlfriend, but SHE'S DRIVING ME CRAZY! I can't stop thinking about her!" Then go talk to her, it's already morning. Do you know where she lives, or works? "Well, she was wearing a 24/7 uniform, so I guess that's where she'd be." Don't forget your jacket, Johnny. "I KNOW, Nailbunny. Sheesh. Johnny walked out the door into the crisp white morning in search of Zak.
Zak put on her uniform and stuck her keys in her back pocket, which also contained twenty bucks and a pack of gum. She made a mental list of everything and then set off for work. On the way, she met a little kid holding a ball of fluff on his way to school. "He's pretty nice, considering all the jerks of today's jacked up society." She arrived at work about five minutes later, and discovered her co-worker already stocking the shelves. "Hey Mike, I'll man the counter today, if you want." He looked up and smiled. "That'd be great Zak, thanks." He resumed stacking boxes. No sooner had Zak sat behind the counter, a person entered the store. She looked up and froze. Hey, isn't he that guy from yesterday?
