Chapter 6: Working

I leave school.
I get home.
I become Cupid.
This was all expected.
What I did not expect was to be interrupted today.

My bedroom door opens. Caleb is standing there.
"Hi, Tris." He says casually. I quickly move to block the screen.
"Why are you here?" I ask. I admit I could be a bit more polite to him but he just barged into my room without knocking.
"Tori's here and she says she wants to see you. What on the screen?" Caleb asks, being his nosy, annoying self.
"None of your business!" I shout. I then get up and slam the door in his face.

I wait until I hear his footsteps leaving my room. I then leave my room and walk into the kitchen downstairs to find Tori.
"Hey." She says. "Okay, Tris, please don't be mad a t me but I got you a job." Tori says without waiting for my response. Wait, what? A job?! Oh no!
"Tori! Why?!" I scream.
"Look Tris, you need to do something besides you-know-what. You can't just sit in your room and do that forever. You're going to have to get a job at some point." Tori says matter-of-factly.
"But I don't wanna!" I whine like a five year gives me one of those "Don't you dare!" looks. I groan. "Fine."

"Where am I even being forced to work?" I ask. I know I must seem really annoying with all this whining but I really don't want to work.
"The frozen yogurt place." I groan again. Off all the places to work at! Like, seriously!
"Why there?! That's where all the kids in my grade hang out!" I scream. Tori gives me her eye. Tori's eye is a sort of "Yeah, so?" eye. At this point I want to smash her head with a baseball bat.
"Oh no! Tris hanging out with people her age! This is unacceptable!" Tori says. I wish she wasn't being sarcastic.
"All the people in my grade, besides Christina, Will, and me, are stupid, annoying... TEENAGERS!" I scream the last word at the top of my lungs.
"Yeah, well, they all worship you so get moving!" Tori yells. She then does shoo-shoo hands and pushes me outside and into her car.

I scowl all the way to the fro-yo place.

-One Car a Ride Later-

When we get out of the car I am met with annoyingly bright colors. Oh wait, that's just the building where my new job is located.
"Hi! You must be Tris! Tori here told me all about you! She said that you were perfect for the new job at "Fun Fro for Yo"! My name's Joe Fro!" Says a middle-aged looking man. He's bald and plump. He's Also annoyingly perky.
"Hi. I am indeed Tris." I say while shaking his hand.
"Follow me!" He says.

I wave goodbye to Tori and follow Joe inside. He takes me to a room behind the counter and hands me a neon shirt, a name tag, and a neon visor. Wow. Tacky uniform bonus. He then shows me a a training room and says one of the staff members will be waiting to train me when I get out.

I walk into the changing room and change into my uniform.
"You don't say, Tris?" My conscience says.
"Shut up." I respond.

I walk out of the changing room and am met with someone's back. Luckily, I don't collide with said back.
"Hey! You must be the new girl!" The man says. He turns around. I almost groan for the third time that hour.
"Hi, Uriah." I say dryly.
"Hi! You must be the girl that Fo-" he quickly covers his mouth like he's giving some important information away. I let that one slide.

"So, explain how things work here." I say.
"Wow, you're really a cut-to-the-chase type of person, aren't you?" He asks. I roll my eyes.
"No, I just want to spend as little of time as possible with you." I shoot back. He looks offended.
"Why? What did I ever do to you?" He asks. He doesn't say it in a vicious way, though. He says it like he actually cares why I'm being rude to him. I wave my hand.
"Don't take it personally, I just hate everyone who is friends with my brother. It's not your fault you have bad taste. In fact, that taste earned you your nickname, Captain
Stupid." I say matter-of-factly.
"My nickname?" I forgot that he doesn't know what Christina, Will and I call him. Oops.
"Never mind." I say, ending the conversation.

Uriah looks at me like I'm crazy for a while longer and then shows me how the cash register works. It's not really a cash register but a computer. I shouldn't have any problems with it then. My few years of being Cupid have made me advanced with computers.
"Alright, I'm going to let you try to work for a little on your own. If you need any help just call my real name or my 'nickname'. I'll be in the back." Uriah says. I salute him and he turns away.

I start working the cash register and find it to be an easy task. The only hard thing is not punching all the girls in the face, who look disappointed because their eye candy isn't working at the moment.
"Excuse me? When will Uriah come back and replace you." A snotty looking blonde says.
"When my shift is over. I'm sorry that I'm not the 'hot' guy you like to stalk in your free time. Why don't you try dating someone else? Like Jack Klerk? He seems good for you." At first when I started talking I was trying to be rude and snarky but then somehow my inner matchmaker shone through and gave her advice.
"Who are you to tell me that? Sorry Hon, but you're no Cupid!" The blonde says before flipping her hair and walking off. If only she knew.

Suddenly my relative peace is disturbed by something. Who thinks they know what disturbed me? You! Yes, you! In the front row! With the pink sweatshirt! Exactly! The moron who disturbed is the same one who ruined the woods for me. Four.
"Tris! I didn't know you worked here!" He says like we're old friends. Gross.
"First off, why would you know? Do you stalk me or something? Second, I just got this job today so I wouldn't expect you to know about it." I say. I then check the time. It's almost Uriah's shift. Five more minutes. Only five more minutes of this torture.

"Ah, well. How are you?" He asks. Is he trying to drive me insane?
"Annoyed."
"Why?"
"Because my peace is always disturbed by people I despise. Including you. And Caleb. And Captain Stupid and Idiot." I say. He raises his eyebrows. If he thinks I'm going to explain who they are-
"Zeke and Uriah have names, ya know." How?!
"Because I can read your thoughts. Like Christina." Grr. I hate you, Four.
"Right back at you, Trissy."

My watch beeps. Yes! My shift is over!
"See ya, Suckers!" I shout. I then run into the back.
"Uriah! It's your shift!" I yell before changing out of my hideous uniform and into my normal clothes.

I then go outside, hop into Tori's waiting car, and drive off back to my house.

Okay first off, sorry that I disappeared off the face of the planet for a little while, I was on spring break. Second, I noticed that I got a review from a hater. I would just like to ask the guest "you're an idiot", if you don't like a story, why review? I don't. I will also please ask "you're an idiot" not to leave curse words in reviews on my stories. Thank you for you're oh-so-valuable time "you're an idiot" (btw just for future reference, you should probably capitalize "you're" :) )

I also saw the Divergent movie, and (I know this will make a lot of people mad, but) I thought Theo James and Shailene Woodley sucked. Please don't leave too many hate reviews, and please don't stop reading the story! I just thought that Shailene Woodley a) did not look like Tris at all, b) could not act, and c) had an even worse crying face than Jennifer Lawrence. Shailene Woodley had DIMPLES! I kid you not.

I also couldn't get over the fact that Theo James resembles a pixie. Most people don't see it but I do, and I can't un-see it. He looks nothing like how I pictured Four. Everyone else in the movie was good, though.

Bye! Please don't hunt me down and kill me because I shared my opinions with you guys!
