I slammed the door and dropped my backpack with a loud thud on the floor. The regulars stared at me before taking another sip of their beers. I hated working at the bar mostly because of my crappy boss. And my boss just isn't anyone-

"Hayleigh!"

She's my aunt.

Well she isn't really my aunt. She is my mom's step sister so that really makes her my step-aunt. Her name was Gwendolyn or just Gwen.

"Hayleigh!" Aunt Gwen shouted again. I rolled my eyes before hurrying into the back room.

"Yes Aunt Gwen", I had to try really hard to not growl or snap the words at her. If I did that would mean I would get a beer bottle thrown at my head. The backroom was dark and musty. There was only one window. The sunlight ran through the glass. If you looked into the light you could see all of the dust spinning and twirling in the air. In the middle of the room was an old desk that Aunt Gwen sat behind. Her wrinkly fingers wrapped tightly around her chair's armrests. And her pale brown eyes narrowed when she saw me.

"Where were you?" She asked in her crackly voice. Whenever I heard her speak an old ugly witch popped into my mind. I bit my lip hard to keep from laughing.

"School", I answered.

Aunt Gwen gave me an annoyed look. She didn't like that I was getting an education. She thought I didn't deserve to go to college among many other things. After my high school graduation I told her that I wanted to go to college. At first her answer was a flat out "No". But after a lot of pleading and a few tears here and there I was able to conceive her. Aunt Gwen was paying my tuition. So to pay off my debt I had to work at this rat hole.

"You're late", She hissed.

I glanced at my feet and mumbled. "Sorry"

"Just get to work. There are customers waiting"

I nodded my head and again bit my tongue. I turned and walked out of the small room. I kicked my backpack until it was underneath the bar. I squirted the tabletop with Windex and wiped it down until it was squeaky clean. There wasn't really anyone in the bar. Maybe a couple of the regulars who stayed here all day.

It was a really slow day as usually. I sat on a old ratty bar stool, the leather seat was full of holes and the stuffing was being pulled out. I opened my backpack and pulled out my homework. It was getting late by the time I was almost done. That's what I get for not paying attention in class. It was almost midnight when I heard the front door open. I looked up and my face turned red. The guy with the bright red hair walked in followed by a hot guy with black hair and blue eyes. I threw my books back into my bad and grabbed to beers. As I walked closer to the men my heart started beating faster and faster.

"Hi", I smiled.

The redhead looked at me and smiled. "Oh hey. We meet again"

My face got hotter as I handed them the beers.

"Here you go. These are on the house"

Both of the guys grinned and took the beers.

"So sweetie what's your name?' the black haired guy smiled.

I loved his eyes. They were a deep rich blue, like a pair of sapphires. His hair was jet black and messy. But personally I'm more into the redheads. When I was younger I had a crush on the actor who played Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter series.

I smiled back. "Hayleigh. What's yours?"

The black haired guy took my hand and kissed it.

"Kent. Conner Kent"

Very James Bond.

I blushed and pulled my hand away. The redhead chuckled and shook his head.

"It's nice to meet you, Conner"

A door banged open and Aunt Gwen screamed, "Hayleigh! Get back to work!"

I flinched and smiled at the redhead and Conner.

"Enjoy your drinks"

They smiled and nodded back at me. I turned and headed back to the bar. I ignored Aunt Gwen's glare and wondered how I would survived the rest of the day at this stupid bar.
