Umm...RUN!
Late Sleeper
Knock. Knock. Knock.
I continue to weave in and out through the trees, twigs snapping under my feet. I continue to giggle wildly as I run through the thick wilderness.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
I look back behind me to see him chasing after me, smiles plastered on both our faces.I finally stop in defeat, as he moments later is by my side. Everything was foggy, I didn't quite see the boy standing next to me, but I knew he was present. I look forward to the trees ahead and take off running again, smiling back to see if he would still follow.
Pound! Pound! Pound!
I suddenly feel my eyes flutter open at loud noise being produced. I blink continuously, trying to remove the blurriness of my vision. I allow my eyes to adjust as I squint at the screen of my phone. Fuck! Its 10:30!
"Crystal! Answer the freaking door!" I continue to hear a girl yelling and kicking the door. I jump off the couch that I must have fallen asleep on. I wince slightly at a pain in my neck from my previous sleeping position.
I swing open the door still rubbing my neck, and instantly being met with a crazed blonde girl.
" What the fudge, Chrys?" I hear her speak as she fumbles in, shutting the door behind her.(A/N: Pronounce Chris) I sigh and make my way up the stairs to dressed. I hear her following behind me.
" Sorry Brie, I fell asleep on the couch and forgot to set my alarm," I grumble, scuffing my feet to the closet. I had to chose my clothes quickly and get dressed, as I was already extremely late for work.
After throwing random pieces with also no time to shower, I run down the stairs once more and rush around grabbing a box of cheese crackers for my breakfast. I shove a handful in my mouth as I struggle to put on my jacket and shoes. Brie watches me the whole time with an amused look on her face.
"Woooooot?" I ask with bits of cracker falling from my mouth. I look up as she walks out the door laughing. I groan in annoyance before running to catch up with her.
We walk along the beaten sidewalk to work, laughing at each others stories that we tell. Brie was right in the middle of explaining what had happened to her yesterday.
"- and just as I was stepping into the shower, I tripped over the plastic piece sticking up and fell
in! The floor in the shower was so slick that when my bare bottom hit the ground, I started spinning around!" I let out a loud laugh at her story. I feel my face start to burn red from laughing and also a six pack forming. Brie laughs along with me, turning pink herself.
" The worst part was that my mom had heard the whole thing, so she came running up the stairs to see if I was alright. She walked in to see me naked spinning around on my butt," She concludes.
I stop in front of the stores doors and double over in laughter. Clutching my stomach and loud noises escaping my mouth, I try to open the door.Sadly,failing miserably as the door came back and hit me straight in the face. This just made the both of our laughter worse.
A few minutes later, we finally calm down enough to enter the small shop. As we walk in, we are met by a rushing Linda, who appeared to be quite flustered herself.
" You girls are alright. Thank goodness, I was getting worried as you are really late," She raises an eyebrow after her words obviously expecting for some sort of explanation for this. Brie gladly steps forward and answers.
" Crystal forgot to set her alarm so I had to come wake her up," I mumble in reluctant agreement as the old woman gives a soft chuckle.
" Oh alright, well, just get your name tags on. Brie, you can work in the back on our new shipment as Crystal can take over the register," She speaks, pointing a finger to our necklaces that hold a card that says our name. I snatch up mine in my hands, sliding it over my hair. I walk back behind the counter and watch Linda walk away to help Brie.
Not many people today. It's one o'clock now and we have had only about twenty people walk into our small shop. I sigh tapping a pencil against my head,watching a man in his thirty's looking at different CD's we had. He would pick one up, look at the cover, then put it back. Ugh, could this get any more boring?
I am, however, snapped from my thoughts when I see a boy run and stopping in front of the large window that covers the front wall. I stood up curiously, as the boy seemed to be lost. I should probably ask if he needs directions.
I walk down one of the isle lined with different disks, my eyes trained on the lost person. Before
opening the door, I reach over and grab at the map by the front door. Will probably need this as well.
I open the door as the bell goes off signalling the doors movement. I step at the boy and stand next to him.
" Hey, are you lost? I could give you directions?" The boy jumps as soon as I speak as if he wasn't aware I had come out of the shop. He seemed quite distracted by something as he looked around frantically.
" Uh.....um.....," he scratches the back of his neck nervously, with his eyes still darting everywhere. Is this guy on drugs? He doesn't smell like he has been using any, but his actions suggest that he has. I furrow my eyebrows up at him.
" Are you on drugs?" I ask, clearly disapproving his actions. He whips his head around again, finally meeting my eyes. He looks down a little shocked. I hear him start to speak, but before he gets out a word, he turns around with fear written all over his features. I look with him and notice a hoard of people making their way towards us. The group was overwhelmingly large, and very noisy. I gulp in fear as they continue running to us.
" WHO IS THAT?!" I yell scared, turning to the boy. He latches onto my arm before answering.
" Umm...RUN!" He shouts back, puling me into a full speed run.
I continue to weave in and out through the trees, twigs snapping under my feet. I continue to giggle wildly as I run through the thick wilderness.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
