Chapter Twenty – William
The sun gleamed off of Connor's blue Nissan Frontier, as he and Lyn climbed out fighting about something. "No. Connor you've gotta come into the light. It's not going to happen."
"Lyn, believe me I've done it." Connor rebutted.
"Oh. Okay. That makes it true then."
"Well yea, because that means it's possible."
"Exactly why it's not." Lyn said sitting on top of the desk in the office.
"You are the most hard headed woman I have ever met." Connor threw his backpack across the office.
"So what are you gonna do about it?" Lyn asked getting right up in his face. I thought this was a best time as any to interrupt.
"Hey guys. How was school?" I asked walking into the office and sitting down.
"It was actually really good. You know as first days go." Lyn said surprisingly upbeat as she turned to face me.
"Meet any new friends?"
"Well this girl, Grace, in my health class."
"Um well I'll leave you two to talk. I've got to go get to work any way. See you later Lyn." Connor said as he picked up his bag and left. Lyn waved goodbye and turned toward me with a strange expression on her face.
"What?" I asked.
"Connor works here?" She said sitting back on the desk.
"Yes." I answered shifting through papers.
"What does he do?" She turned sitting Indian style.
"He works at the front desk, answering phones and making appointments but mostly he plays his game boy or does homework. Didn't you have a job back in New York?" I looked up at her and she was playing with my stress ball.
"Not really. I worked for a pizza parlor once but the boss kind of hit on me, so I quit."
"I see." I didn't like that. "What do you know about cars?"
"Uh... Nothing really except for how to hot wire it." She said shrugging her shoulders.
"Do you want to work at the front desk with Connor?"
"How much does it pay?"
"About eight dollars."
"Alright you got yourself a new employee." She said sitting up and sticking out her hand for me to shake. I did and smiled at her. "When do I start?"
"Now if you want."
"Okay." She jumped off the desk and picked up her bag.
"Connor will show you what to do." I yelled to her as she walked out. She just waved her hand up in the air to acknowledge me.
