I am glad I don't have to wear a uniform to work. I brought some clothes for work so I would not ruin my good clothes. I know Carl said I wouldn't have to work out in the yard but better safe than sorry. I'm in route to the junk yard having my first shift with Kenny and I am really glad.

Things between Stan and I have been strained and fucking weird. I actually haven't talked to him in a few days because I didn't feel like dealing with his bullshit attitude. I pull into the parking lot parking where Carl told me too. The team, we have to park off to the side of the building to ensure we leave the parking spaces up front for the customers. I get out with my lunch in hand heading towards the building. I have a closing shift and I'm praying to god it is a slow day for my first day.

I head into the entrance Stan and Kenny showed me the time I came with Ike and locked the door behind me. I headed straight to Carl's office in the corner of the building. He is sitting at his desk looking at something on the computer. He looks up noticing me.

"Hi Kyle, how are you today?"

"I'm good," I replied handing him the papers. "Where would you like me to go?"

"You can meet Kenny up front. Since you are closing with him he will be showing you the ropes. I will be here until 6pm and then you two will be on your own." Okay then. "Don't worry I will come to check on you before I leave." I let out a nervously laugh.

"Okay, thank you." I head out towards the back of the building. I see Kenny is at the opening for the door that leads outside. It has a little window for us to talk to customers but we can also walk out of it as well by opening the bottom half.

"Hey," smiled Kenny. "This is so awesome. Get to work with my best friends!"

"Yeah okay," I replied laughing. "What do I need to know?"

"Only you would want to jump right into things," said Kenny. "We don't have any people here right now. Although since you will be working this area. You can actually sit over here at the desk if no one is up at the window. One of the reasons sometimes I like working up here." Kenny walks over to the register. "This is pretty easy to use. It's kind of old school. We have to type in the dollar amount and hit the plus sign if they are buying more than one. Here is the credit card machine to the right. If you are taking cash you hit the dollar sign. It will be easier to explain when you are checking someone out."

I nod because I hear and see what he talking about but I would need to work through it when I have an actual customer. I look out the window and spot Stan. He is sweaty as fuck. I can see the sweat shining off his forehead and arms. You have got to be working hard to have your arms sweating like that. He is also covered in dirt in certain spots.

"Yeah, Stan had to put out the new stuff we got in," explained Kenny. "We have to rearrange things when that happens sometimes. I am glad it was him today and not me. I would hate to go that dirty for the rest of the shift."

"You already know how I feel about that," I stated folding my arms. Kenny walks through the door and motions for me to follow him. He shows me all the parts of the junk yard just so I will know in case I ever need to find him, Stan or Carl. I would also be able to let the customer know where to go depending on what they are looking for. As we head back to the front Stan sees us. He walks off to the side of the lot with the cars. "Is it just me or is he running from you?"

I sighed. He probably is, Stan doesn't like confrontation. "We kind of had this falling out last week."

"Last week?" questioned Kenny. "You guys never fight, what the hell happened?"

"I don't know!" I exclaimed. "Like seriously. He got mad because I slept with Red."

"Oh shit, you fucked Red. How am I just hearing about this?" Kenny leans in close "How was it?"

"Kenny, that is not important right now?"

"It's Red!" droned Kenny. "I haven't had the chance to take her for a ride. Like most of the guys at school say she has skills. It's only natural I would be curious." He laughs at his own joke. I shake my head. "You guys hook up again?" I push Kenny blushing slightly. I did hook up with Red half way through the week. This time around I was much better and more prepared than before. "Let me find out Kyle." I start laughing.

After horsing around for a bit we got a customer. I just watched as Kenny helped him locate whatever it was he was looking for. I'm standing in the window glad that I'm not out in the yard. It's hot as fuck out there today. I continue hanging back until I'm needed to ring up a customer which Kenny helped me with. Sometime around 4 I see Stan making his way over.

"Bye Stan," I said knowing he was off for the day. I know he was still not in the mood to chat but I don't care about that. He waves at me before heading out. The rest of my day was uneventful. Closing up is pretty simple. Kenny has the keys to lock everything up and we let the dog out into the yard to patrol. We walk over to our cars to head home for the night.

"How is Ike's project coming along?" asked Kenny.

"I guess it is coming along fine," I said unlocking the car door. "He has been working on it outside but he will not let us see it until it's done."

"What do you think of the job so far?"

"I like it. It's simple and not complicated. I could do without the smell but it's fine. I'm making pretty good money."

"Yup, just sit back and enjoy everything. Hope you and Stan patch things up soon. It's kind of weird not seeing you guys talk. Although his focus on work has been incredible." Stan does his best work under pressure or stress, sad to say.

"I'm sure we will, I just don't know when. I'll see you tomorrow." I climb into the car thinking I'm not sure how to patch things up with Stan. I honestly don't even know why we're really not talking to be honest. It has to be more to it than me having sex with Red. I head towards home ready for a nice long shower knowing I am not going to figure out the answers to my questions tonight.
