Mika waited at The Big Squeeze she's suppose too meet everyone to get pizza for dinner. She looked at the mall clock it was 6:30. Mika was relieved that today was Friday thank god for the weekend. She was really exhausted she had to hide from Coach Halder from being a human paintball target. Which wasn't easy but she pulled it off and succeeded.
Luckily she wasn't covered in paint from head to toe she wasn't wearing her uniform she was wearing her regular clothes. Mika was waiting for her friends to get off from work. "They should be here soon. I wish I had a cellphone to call everyone and see what's up". Mika said.
Mika then felt someone watching her she turned around to see if someone was there. "That's weird I thought someone was right there". I must be imaging things". Mika said to herself.
Mika then felt someone grab her shoulder which startled her. "Boo"! A familiar voice said. That familiar voice was none other than Logan.
"Hey Logan". Mika said.
"Did I scare you"? He grinned.
"You surprised me. Were you hoping I'd get scared"? Mika asked.
"Maybe but surprised is good enough for me". Logan said.
"Have you seen the others yet"? Mika asked.
"Nope not yet but they'll show up". Logan said.
Mika and Logan sat there in silence it was really awkward. Mika didn't want to sit in silence anymore so she decided to spark up a conversation.
"Um….so do you like your new job"? She asked awkwardly.
"It's okay I'm really not doing much expect for telling people what's the best DVD to get". Logan said.
"That sounds better than having to deal with a crazy manager using you for paintball practice". She said.
"That's true but the down side is that Wayne is always breathing down people's necks about what DVD to buy. He constantly whines over the movies the customers get and hand's them quote on quote a better choice. It's like he's always on his monthly cycle". Logan joked.
Mika giggled at Logan's little joke.
"Seriously it seems like he's always having his time of the month". Logan joked. Mika couldn't contain herself she was laughing like a hyena. Logan grinned at her, someone must be really tickled. Mika finally got a hold of herself and finally calmed down.
"You have a really cute laugh". Logan said.
"Thanks". Mika blushed. They both looked at each other for a second until they were interrupted by Sam.
"Hey guys sorry we're late". Sam said.
"That's okay". Mika said.
"Yeah we were just talking". Logan said.
"Ready to go"? Hayley asked.
"Yeah let's go this kitty needs some pizza fuel". Logan said.
"Alrighty then let's go get some delicious pizza". Sam said.
All of them turned to leave until Ron-Rent-A-Cop spotted them.
"Holt! Where do you maggots think you're going"? He glared.
"No where we were just get pizza that's all". Michelle said.
Ron eyed Michelle he thought she was lying to get out of trouble.
"Are you telling me the truth missy"? He glared.
Michelle got scared and felt like crying. Michelle was terrible under pressure. When she's under pressure she cries.
"Hey leave her alone! She's telling the truth"! Hayley glared.
"We were just getting pizza sir nothing else. Now can you let us pass"? Aaron asked.
Ron-Rent-A-Cop did the 'I'm watching you' finger gesture to them and left.
"What a creep". Mika said.
"You can say that again". Sam said.
"Come on let's go and eat we shouldn't let him get us down". Arianna said.
"You're right let's go". Hayley said.
At dinner they all stuffed themselves with delicious cheese pizza. They talked about what was going and how there day was. They were happy that it was Friday the weekend was right around the corner.
"Hey Hayley weird question what's the difference between Goth and Emo"? Logan asked.
"Why do you ask"? Hayley asked.
"Logan asked me at the movies if I was Goth because of my appearance". Mika said.
"So what's the difference"? Logan asked.
Hayley thought it over and said.
"Emo is more of a style. The word Emo comes from the word emotional and it centers on sad depressing rock music, the hair in front of the face thing came from the lead singers who wanna hide their face from the crowd to show how mysterious they are.
Emo's aren't depressed weirdo's who cut themselves for no reason. Emo's are usually into skateboarding or playing the guitar". Hayley said.
"What about being Goth"? Logan asked.
"Goth is more about art and creativity. The word Goth comes from Gothic churches that have been around for centuries which have a dark and mysterious architecture. Goths center more on poverty, art, singing and writing.
It doesn't mean we walk around hating everything perky and worship the devil". Hayley said.
"Who would think that"? Mika asked.
"People who hate Goths". Hayley said.
"Don't let those people get to you there probably just jealous". Sam said taking a sip of her soda.
"Yeah those people suck". Arianna said taking a bite of her cheese pizza.
Mika felt happy right now. Everyone was relaxed and comfortable. It was because they all needed a break from these past three days from the craziness that was work.
"Guys I'm pretty proud of us". Mika said.
"Why"? Aaron asked.
"Most of us had a rough first three days of our new job but it was all worth it right"? Mika asked.
"Yeah it was". Arianna smiled.
"I'd say so". Michelle agreed.
"It's worth it being with my girls". Aaron said.
"What about you Logan"? Sam asked.
"If having a crabby boss who hounds on people on what movie to buy and hardly doing anything else then I'd yeah I'd think so". Logan agreed.
"The best thing about working at mall is that we all get to hang out together". Michelle said.
"Yeah that's an upside". Aaron said.
"So it doesn't have to be all bad". Sam said.
"And plus we have the weekend to relax and catch our breaths". Mika said.
"That's true thank God it's Friday". Logan said.
"Yeah thank God". Aaron agreed.
"Guys"? Mika asked.
"Yeah"? They all asked.
"Thank you for being my friends when I had none to begin with". Mika said.
"Anytime". Sam smiled.
"We've got your back". Hayley smiled putting her arm around her.
After they ate and talked for a while they headed home. It was late and they shouldn't be out later than it already was. It was 10:00 if it was later it'd be like they went to a party not getting pizza.
Tomorrow was Saturday and they had two days to chill and catch a break. But Monday will soon come again and they'll have to face it all over again but in the end it's worth it.
End of chapter 4 the next one will be the last. Nothing really exciting's going on it's a lot of character development but I hope you still like it anyway.
