We finally made it to the DX. "Steve, Imma show Rose what she's gonna be doing. It will be five minutes." Soda said to the invisible Steve. "Sure." I herd a voice. I looked around and found Steve under a car that he was fixing. Two-bit kick the skateboard Steve was using and Steve was rolling till he hit the dumpster. "Screw you Two-bit!" Steve yelled as getting. "Why do you think it was me? It was toots!" Two-bit said while pointing at me.
"Hey! I don't want to be involved with this." I said raising my hands up in the air.
"C'mon Rose! Let me show you what you'll be doing!" Soda yelled from the inside of the store. I walked in to find him behind the counter. I went to stand by him and listen to him giving me instructions.
"Soda bottles are .50 cents and cans are .25 cent. Its one dollar more for beers if they're single. Everything else has a bar code on it. Just scan. Once you're done with the scan, hit enter, the "mini bank" will open. If they're paying for gas, I write down the price and send them in for you to pay. There is a blade and a heater under here. The black heater is a water gun, don't tell anyone who doesn't work here that. There's a phone in the back and lunch is at 12. Understand?" Soda said. I nodded my head with my mouth open a little. I don't think he took a breathe when he told all of that. I understand but holy shit, that boy talks 60 mph! Soda went outside and two-bit came in. He grabbed a magazine and a Cola. He planted his butt on the counter. "I know for sure you're paying for that bottle. That will be 2 quarters." I said while I reached my hand out. He dropped .50 cents in my hands and I put it the quarter space.
"Do you think you look like Unne Terjesen when you're naked?" Two-bit asked.
"Who's that and probably not?"
"She's Miss July 1962. She's a bunny." Two-bit said handing me the magazine. There was a picture of a beautiful women who was naked. She was holding a see-thru scarf in front of her "trying" to cover her body.
"Is this what you do when you come here?" I asked Two-bit. He nodded and focused on the magazine. It wasn't busy before lunch. At least 6 people came in and bought stuff. Me, Steve, Soda and Two-bit went outside and ate lunch.
"How's your first day, toots?" Steve asked while food fell from his mouth.
"It seems pretty good" Two-bit answered before I could.
'I said toots. Not two-bit or drunk ass." Steve said while giving him a stare.
"Two is right. It seems pretty good so far. Thanks for asking." I spoke up. "Is there anything I should know about?" I asked,
"If you ever work the night shift, make sure one of us are there. The socs tend to get drunk out of their minds and head over here. They can be dangerous. In fact, if you have any shifts, make sure we're here. Me, Soda, or Two-bit. Understand?" Steve said. I nodded. I understood what Steve was trying to get at. We already lost two members in the gang and we don't need to loose anymore. Also, the socs are dangerous. Most of the time, they don't have weapons but they're jocks. They're pretty strong. I can honestly say that I was scared, just from hearing that. Now I could understand why there was weapons under the counter.
