Chapter 1: ☆
*Reader's Pov*
A game store. Most people probably think it's a dream job, but in reality it's far from that sometimes. I've been working here, at Fantasy Games, every summer since my second year of middle school, and since I'm in my second year of high that's about three years. Why I stay here at this job, I don't know, but I do. I'm actually saving up for a game, a game that everyone knows called Euphoria. It's new, really popular, and really expensive. We've barely been able to keep it on the shelves since it came out, so I'm really hoping that once I save up the money to buy it I'll be able to. Anyways back to what's happening now. I look around the store from my spot behind the counter and notice there's quite a few people here. A mother and here child walk up to the counter. "The sign said you have the game 'Euphoria', but-" "But it's not here!" The child interrupts. "I'm terribly sorry. We'll get another shipment Tuesday." I reply calmly. I mean it happens a lot so I'm used to it. "Bit it is Tuesday!" the child shouts angrily. "Another shipment will be in next Tuesday." I say again. "The ones we got today have already been sold." The mother gives me an apologetic look and begins dragging the child out of the store. "Hey! It's your turn to stock the shelves," Thalia calls from the other side of the counter. I nod and come out from behind the counter as she goes behind it. Thalia has long blond hair and bright green eyes that always look as if their staring into your soul. She started working here a month after I did. I'm restocking shelves when suddenly I'm tapped on the shoulder. I turn around to find a girl with pink hair and pale blue wonder-filled eyes. She had a black ribbon tied around her head into what looked like bunny ears. "Hi! Do you have 'Euphoria'?" she questioned speaking quickly. The bell to the shop rings just as she finishes speaking and a man in a postal service uniform walks in. He hands me a box and sets another on the floor. "I don't think we ordered these, sir," I say. "Yeah we did! Boss just didn't tell you," Thalia replies taking the box that was on the floor to the back room. I look in the box I'm holding and see that it's filled with the game 'Euphoria'. I look back up the girl who is staring intently at the game, and then I look back down at the game. "Here," I say, handing her a copy of the game. She smiles, thanks me, and then goes to pay for the game.
After my shift is over I say good-bye to Thalia and head out towards my house. Pulling my jacket closer to myself as I walk home in the cold temperature. I can't help but notice how my (h/c) hair looks almost green under the light of the lamp posts. I put on my cat-ear headphones as I listen to (f/s) pouring from the speakers. When I finally make it home I fix some hot cocoa and sit down on the couch. My cat, Cocoa, jumps up and lays next to my legs. Eventually I drift into a dreamless sleep, unaware of what was to come.
