"And you're applying for this job because. . .?"
Kiyoko leaned forward in her seat, tail thumping the brown leather, "I need money." Did she look desperate? Hopefully not.
The man seemed satisfied. "Your job at Aroma starts today. You do know how to take orders and serve food?"
"Yes." She nodded.
"Uniforms are in the back. Since you're young and inexperienced, we'll have you trail one of the older waitresses around first. 'Kay?"
Kiyoko smiled and gave him a thumbs up. "Sounds good."
“Geez, what was up with her?” Aster mumbled to himself. He started walking away.
The man folded his hands. "You're 15. You understand that you'll have to like, bus plates? Wash dishes?"
"As long as I'm getting paid, sir."
"Weredogs don't usually bus plates. They're usually bodyguards."
Kiyoko laughed. "I was a bodyguard for a while, but I sort of. . . caused more trouble than bodyguards are supposed to."
“Hey, are you okay?” Jasper asked the person who he determined was the victim. (Aster)
“Yeah, I’m fine,” Aster nodded, “Thanks,” he smiled and looked at the boy, “Hey, don’t I know you from school?” Aster asked.
“You might,” Jasper shrugged, then he added jokingly, “I’m quite popular.”
“Ah, right! I am, myself, one of the most popular students,” Aster joked back.
Jasper laughed, “I see. I’m Jasper.”
“Aster,” Aster smiled and held out a hand for a handshake.
Jasper took his hand and shook it firmly.
“So, are you up to anything?” Aster asked, trying to strike a conversation.
(And that’s ironic cause I gtg)
(Nuu, cya later my friend.)
“Not much, I was walking to the grocery store till I watched a crazy person shove you on the floor.”
(Just gonna stalk, bc I wanted to join but was too slow. Don't mind me)
“Yeah, hasn’t been the best day,” Aster admitted.
Jasper chuckled, “I can tell, where were you heading?”
“I don’t know, I was just walking around,” Aster shrugged.
“You don’t have homework or anything?”
“I do, I’m trying to find a place to finish it.”
"I would suggest the library."
“Yeah, but I go there all the time. Thought a change in scenery might be nice.”
“I’m not allowed back there after an…. incident.”
(*an, one sec i gotta change it now)
Jasper blinked, "Do I want to know..?"
