Problems already
Work wasn't so bad. I watched a couple of videos, signed some papers and learnt the basics of working at the supermarket. Tomorrow was when I started and I could so wait. I worked on Monday's, Thursday's and Friday's which I so hoped would provide the family with enough money.
THE NEXT DAY
I woke up as the alarm went off and found the house eerily quiet. That was when I remembered Mum and Dad would be sleeping in since they didn't have work. Mum didn't start until tomorrow, but Dad was just too lazy to look for one. I crept around the house, trying not to wake them. I was glad to be out of the house and able to make as much noise as I wanted. I was halfway to school when I heard my name called out.
"Celestial! Wait I'll be one second!" Candy called from her house. She popped back inside and soon emerged with her bag.
"Hey. Never knew you lived anywhere near my house"
"Well now you do! Hey, I usually walk with Pony to school so hope you don't mind" I turned red remembering yesterday.
"Maybe I should just keep on going when you reach Pony's house"
"You have to face him one day, Celestial! Might as well be today" I sighed, she was right. When we got to Pony's house, I kept my eyes on the ground. Pony walked out and said hello to both of us, kind of awkwardly. The walk to school was very awkward, until Candy decided she had had enough.
"God damn you two snap out of it! Do you know how awkward and boring this is? Ok Celestial likes you Pony and Celestial you like Pony! Just talk to me at least!" I grinned at Candy,
"Now I know your weak point, silence" Candy grinned and so did Pony, that was the icebreaker. It wasn't AS awkward but I still didn't feel very comfortable. When we finally reached school the bell rang.
"And we all have form period in the same room, funny that!" Candy said as we walked into our form room. I sat on one side of Candy and Pony on the other.
"Are you really a greaser?" Chris asked. Chris was a super soc and I did go on one date with him, but then I realised how much I hated him.
"Sure am," I said as if it were the proudest thing in the world. To me, I would rather be a greaser than a Soc any day!
"I wouldn't be proud of it you dirty greaser" I glared at him,
"Well you aren't me now are you? You're a stuck up, snobby soc who needs to get a life rather than jumping greasers all the time"
"You're going to regret saying that" Chris said before stalking away.
"Go Celestial! You're a proud greaser like the rest of us" I grinned, I was starting to like this! Mr. Simon walked in, and of course the day started, I just never realised how bad life could turn.
It all started when I got back from school. I walked into the house and the house was still dark! I opened the curtains and called out Mum's name. No one replied. I walked into Mum's bedroom and saw her and Dad still in bed. Man, she was going to have a hard time getting up for work tomorrow, I thought as I quietly shut the door again. I went into my room and quickly changed into my work uniform. I was supposed to be at work in twenty minutes and it took me ten to walk there. I went into the kitchen and raided the kitchen some food. The best I could have was a piece of bread with vegemite on it. Once I had finished the sandwich, I walked out the door being careful to make as less noise as possible.
"I thought you weren't going to come today you're so late!" Was what I heard as soon as I stepped into the store. I checked the clock,
"You said to come at quarter to four!"
"No I didn't, that's Thursday and Friday, on Monday's you come at three thirty!"
"Oh. Sorry"
"Just don't let it happen again" The supervisor, Jeff, said with a slight sneer. He took me over to a little box and thrusted a till into my arms, knocking me back slightly.
"Go onto number five and put up the training sign and get started! Quickly!" I nodded and walked away from him. Man, he was grumpy! I put up the training sign and got ready to serve the customers.
It was all going alright up until the end of my shift. The gang came in. Well actually it was Two-Bit, Dally, Ponyboy and some slutty broad hanging off his arm.
"Hey Celestial! You working here now?"
"Yeah and I have only told you about ten times"
"Oh yes that's right!" I smiled slightly but then looked at Pony and saw how awkward he looked with that broad.
"Who's she?" I asked Two-Bit as I packed their groceries.
"Oh. That's Pony's new girlfriend, actually his first one! Congratulations right?"
"Uh.yeah congratulations" I said, smiling even though I was anything but smiling inside.
"Hey when do you get off?"
"In five more minutes" I replied
"Ok then, I'll wait outside for you, I'm not sure if the others will" He grinned and then left the store. Pony had a girlfriend. Of course, like he would ever want a stuck up soc like me?
"You can sign off Celestial!" Jeff called to me and for once I was very grateful! I quickly signed off and did a cash up before practically running out of the store. As soon as I was out, I started crying.
"Hey Celestial, what's wrong?" Two-Bit asked. God damn it, I forgot about him!
"Nothing" I said, wiping away my tears, even though more came tumbling down.
"Well if you can't stop crying then there must be something wrong! Come on, you can tell me" I couldn't. He would think I was so petty, so instead I hugged him and cried on his chest.
"Life just keeps on getting worse, Two-Bit" I finally managed to say.
"Oh I think I just worked it out" I couldn't help but smile a little.
"Took you long enough!"
"Hey, don't hate me because I'm beautiful" I cocked an eyebrow and he did straight back at me.
"Come on, there must be other guys out there! Pony isn't worth your time if he doesn't realise how great you are" I sighed, like I could find anyone as good as Ponyboy.
"Come on, you need some ice cream! And I've still got a bit of change!" I smiled, he was a good friend to me.
"I would love to, but I really have to get home. Sorry"
"So you should be!" He grinned, "What about I come to your place and we hang out there"
"Oh. Well I'm not sure if Mum and Dad will let you"
"Well we'll see then!" He grinned and started walking me home. I shivered slightly,
"Man it's cold. Next time I am so taking my jumper"
"Well, it is nine o'clock at night so I think it might be just a little cold. Here, have my jacket" He took it off his shoulders and put it across mine. Mmmm nice warmth!
"Aren't you cold?"
"Me, cold? I wish!" He grinned. I was glad I could depend on Two-Bit if something went wrong in my life, and a lot of things did.
A/N: Ok that's the ending of whatever chapter it is.lol.like or not?
