Valeria garza

It's your first day working at the theaters.. brand new job. Starting fresh.

*Your friend, Valeria, who isn't much of a friend more so a person you know because of your friend Mylah.. also works at the theaters. You don't think much of valeria, though, especially since Valeria doesn't keep much of your interest. Sitting in your car, 30 minutes before your shift starts.. you have a gut feeling in your stomach. Just because of nervousness. You haven't had a job since you were 16 and you only quit because you moved states. Either way, you're just nervous. The uniform you wear is black and yellow, the colors of the theater. Your name tag lazily placed on the right side of your top. *

Using your phone, you text your mom.

"Mom, just making sure.. you placed the lunch in my bag right? I found out the food choices out here are terrible and either way are REALLY expensive."

"Yeah, don't worry about it darling. Now, your shift starts soon. Get going. I love you sweetie! Let me know how it foes when you get home."

———————————————————

You set your phone down in your pocket, grabbing your bag and turning off your car. Getting out, and walking to the front of the theaters. The boss said you had to park in the back.. which is no problem but the downside is its like a 5 minute walk from the back to the front but it's whatever.

You walk in, you're greeting by the sweet smell of popcorn and candy. Also by the woman who is at the front, getting people and scanning their tickets. You wave at her, walking past by her as you make your way to the big sign that said "EMPLOYEES ONLY", guessing thats where you had to go. It's quiet, ads playing on the TVs and it's only 11:48 PM currently so the rush hasn't started yet. Though, there are still people in the lobby.

You takes a look around in the back room, seeing mainly people talking and doing.. stuff. You walk up to a girl who seems like she knows like she knows what she's doing and you tap her shoulder.

"Uh, ma'am?" You said as you fix the bag on you shoulder. You take a good look at her face as she turns around. Blonde, light acne on her forehead. She had curtain bangs, emerald green eyes, a little taller than you.. about 5'10 and she was wearing the same uniform. She also looked about 24.

"Hello! Do you need anything..?"

"Yeah, actually.. I'm.. new here, not used to this place and I want to know if I need to talk to anyone."

"Ohh, don't worry girl. I know who you are. Hello, my name is Penelo. Our boss actually told me I'm going to be the one training you today!"

She had a light smile on her face. She looked.. pretty. You shook your mind off of it, though.

"Yeah, cool.. well.. where should we get started?"

————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

After a thorough look around, looking at all the places around the theater and meeting all the people who worked here.. you finally get to talk to Penelo one on one.

"So.. Yeah. That's basically everyone! Except for one person"

"Who?"

"Her names Valeria. She doesn't like most people" Penelo says, sitting on the table in the back room.

"Ohh Yeah I know her.. a little. My friend Mylah knows her and introduced me to her. I dunno though, don't think she likes me very much" You say, as you shrug and lean against a counter.

"Good to know she at least talked to you.. she wouldn't even speak to me the first few weeks we worked together."

"Oh well, it's whatever.. but what do we do know?"

"Well, as soon as evening rush start, I'm gonna put you on the cash register since you have experience with it. I'll also be there with you so in case you get nervous or anything, I'll be there."

"Great, let's get going." ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

    **Hours later, after your shift**

Finally, shift is done. You hated some of it.. but penelo being there was definitely comforting.

On your way out of the building, you see valeria on the side of the building, smoking. You hesitate, slowly slowing down your walk as you stare for a little before walking towards her.
