[ Chloe ]
I woke up Monday morning to the sun blaring in my eyes. When am I gonna get curtains? I checked the time, and it read 8:24. I lazily got out of bed and did the usual morning routine, but chose a cute donut top and jean capris this time.
I can't believe I have to go to work with Paige today. I simply cannot imagine how awkward it's going to be.
But I made a commitment. I had to go. I need to stop letting feelings get in the way of everything.
No matter how hard it's going to be, I'm going.
I just have to.

I arrived at the donut shop at exactly 9:30, when they open. I said bye to my mom and walked through the door.
"Ready to begin?" the counter lady asked.
I gave her a nervous smile. My stomach was turning in knots. At least Paige isn't here yet.
Just as I thought that, she walked in. And boy, did she look miserable.
She had on the most boring black clothes, her hair was all straight, and she was wearing a frown.
The worst part of it all was that I did this to her.
She looked at me with a death look, then walked up to the cashier, trying to be as joyful as possible.
"We're ready to begin," Paige informed half-heartedly.
"Great!" the woman said as she handed us two brooms. I looked at mine in disgust. This is our job? Wiping up donut scraps?
I decided to make the most of it, and just thought of the wonderful prize after my 4 hour shift; 2 delicious donuts!
I swept the floor for another half an hour, wiping my hands on my apron every now and then. Don't wanna spread germs!
I heard the bell ring on the shop door and turned my head to see my special someone.
Braeden.
