2. 5th April (Second day - yet the most stressful.)
5th April (second day)
As the sound of my irritating alarm commenced, I slipped out of bed and sighed knowing I had to get ready for another day of work.
Luckily, I wasn’t running late this time as no one had… interrupted me this morning. I said bye to Wick and checked my watch; 9:24am. I start work at 10am and since I live quite close to McDonalds (hence why I walk to work) I decided to head to Starbucks and ordered a latte to start off the upcoming stressful day.
By the time I arrived to Mcdonalds, it was 9:54am. I entered the building and proceeded to head to the back to put my belongings down and get ready to work. As i walked to my station, i felt a thud on my arm.
“Ah! Shit!” a sudden voice was heard beside me. I looked over and saw a brunette with what seems like a black eye. What is it with Mcdonalds workers being injured?
“Oh god, im so sorry. I wasn’t looking where I was going!” I apologised and the former male laughed and smiled, is that a fang hanging out of his mouth…?
“It’s alright! Oh, hey- you’re the new co-worker, right? Im Luca, Luca Balsa!” Luca extended his hand for me to shake, which I had done and then i realised something.
Was this the same person who Andrew spoke of? Do i even ask? But before I could even speak, a familiar British accent once again appeared.
“Balsa! I know you CLEARLY have a ridiculous memory, but go back to work!”
Valden was standing behind us, with his arms crossed and with what looks like a stern face.
“Cmon Edgar, we’re literally childhood friends. No need to address me as Balsa.” Luca rolled his eyes which caused Edgar to scoff.
“We’re at work, be respectful.” Edgar then glanced at me, and smiled. I felt a feeling of warmth creep onto my face. As the manager walked away, Luca looked at him, and then me… and back to edgar again before gasping.
“OH MY GOD. THE MANAGER DEFINITELY LIKES YOU.”
I look at him with wide eyes, literally stunned… what??
What do i say?? Do i laugh it off? Stare into his soul until it gets awkward and he leaves?
“Hahaaaaa… I doubt it…!” I awkwardly laugh, hoping he has to leave.

…
It’s silent.
Oh wait, shit! I gotta get to work!
“uhm so- i gotta actually uhm- get to work. it was nice meeting you!” I smile and start stepping away,
“ah shoot! same! cya!” he waves and runs off.
Throughout the day the same phrase was in my mind:
“He likes you!” over… and over.
That’s ridiculous! I’ve known him, what, 2 days? Love at first sight, i guess.
I was working peacefully until I was told to go on break, which i happily did.
As I was talking to other workers about stuff in general, I heard someone call my name.
I look over to where the voice was heard, which was the tills, and saw someone I REALLY didn’t wanna see.
