Chapter 5: The First Day

I woke up in the morning at about sevenish. I really couldn't get much sleep. I got up and got ready. I went go to the book office to get some books for my new classes. I get back to my room and drop off the books I don't need. Then I head to room 310.I leave my room and start to Latin. As I'm walking I see Alex.

"Hey Alex!"

"Hey Karen! You know after yesterday I thought I would never see you again, Except for maybe in the Hall. This school is just so big.

"Same here."

"Where you headed?"

"Latin. You?"

"Ha. Latin."

"What's the teacher like?"

"Well she is one of the best and nicest there is at Lanyard and that's not saying a lot."

"Oh, well. It's not like I am going to be here that long anyways."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Well my mom and dad only sent me here because they had some issues they needed to sort out with out me present. They said that it was in my best intentions to leave and then come back when everything blew over."

"Yeah that's what they told me too. I'm still here, though. I haven't talked to them in along time. Maybe I should call them or something. See if it's blown over yet."

"Well I guess this is the class. Am I right?"

"Yep, you would be right. Get ready to be bored."

Latin wasn't as bad as he made it sound. Yeah it was a class so of course it's going to be boring, but it wasn't all that bad. I only have Latin and golf today. For golf I have to go to the physical training gym. That was a work out, but it's over now. I go drop off my stuff in my room, get my map, and head to work. I get there and who would have guessed behind the counter was Alex.

"And how did you find out I worked here. Stalking isn't a very good way to get started in a new place. Ha. Ha."

"Very funny. No, I am supposed to be working here, under the animal center."

"Oh, really, I don't see your name here."

"But I know I don't have the wrong place this is the only animal care center in this city."

"Now that you are right about. Hold on one second; let me go get the boss, maybe she'll know about this."

I wait for like an hour. What could be taking him so long to get just one person?

"Hello, I'm Sharon. You will be working under me, that's why you aren't on his list. Ha. Ha. Come on, let me show you were you will be working. You will be working mainly as my secretary, but you will also help me as a nurse, if need be. Is that alright?"

"Yes."

"O.K. This will be your office right in front of mine. Here are the animal homes; cats, dogs, birds, etc. all have their own rooms. We have a field in the back were we send the animals run and play at least once a day. Here is the operating room, the test lab, and the uhm, well the sleep room."

"Oh, I understand. O.K What will be my first assignment?"

"Well right now I need a lot of papers filed and sorted by patient and owner."

Sharon was a really nice person. She walked me step by step through the procedure until I got it right. After work was over I met up with Alex again.

"Hey, how was your first day on the job? Was it hard and torturous?"

"Why do you always perceive things as bad? Are you a pessimist?"

"No dear I'm a realist. Ha. Ha."

"It was really good actually."

"Good. I'm glad you felt that way."

"I really like Sharon. I find that she is really nice."

"Yep everyone does. Hey what you doing for supper?"

"I'm probably just going to pick up some fast food and go back to the Hall. Why?"

"Well if that's all your doing why don't we go and eat somewhere else?"

"O.K. Sounds good."

Wow. I wonder if this could turn into something serious. I mean I really wouldn't mind if it did. We had a great time tonight. I even got a good night kiss. After that, maybe it wouldn't be so bad here.

See now wasn't that a little bit longer. It isn't the really devastating part, but it's starting to heat up. Please review.
