17th June 1985

Okay the clock is currently 9:16 I am making coffee in the kitchen and I did actually sleep not half bad. I mean yeah sure I did lose what page I was on in my book but still, Mom is getting ready right now, I don't know what for but I don't really feel like asking about it either so a mystery it will stay "I'm going to the grocery store today do you need anything specific?" Or not "can you pick up some tampons?" We're very open about stuff like that, maybe it's cause we're both girls? Or women? I don't know what to call us but yeah "okay, are you still planning on going out?" I look up, I totally forgot that was my plan for today but quickly resume the conversation with a simple "yep" I take a sip at my coffee before looking down at myself, I'm still wearing pyjamas and I haven't even brushed my hair yet.

I make my way to the bathroom after drinking my coffee and I can hear the radio from the kitchen it's playing the song 'Material girl' by Madonna, I like the song enough so that I can hum along but I also feel like the radio is squeezing out every last drop that the song gives, so some may have grown tired of it if that makes any sense. Anyways I just put on some jeans and a T-shirt with blondie then I brush my hair and put it up in a messy ponytail. I don't look half bad, I then put on the slightest makeup which consists of mascara, eyeliner in my waterline & tinted cherry lip balm. After all that I pack my bag and put on my very beat up converse. As I walk out the door I see a figure wearing blue biking their way somewhere. I don't have much time to think about it as I need to catch the bus.

-10:48am-

I have just reached the mall and there's a lot more people than I would've expected. Though it makes sense, I take a deep breath and enter the mall to hear sounds of muffled music and so much talking, it's bigger than I thought(that's what she said) I begin walking around and notice a few stores like the gap and Kaufman's shoes before I notice the fact they have a food court which I'll probably return to later. Right now I'm buying some flared jeans they make my butt look nice so that's great and I have some star patches I'm thinking about sewing on. I still have 24 bucks left as I leave the store I notice a Claire's and I make my way over to it, I just wanna have a look. I see a group of girl's laughing and having fun, it's nice to know some people can make friends

-12:31-

I've been shopping for the past hour and a half before making a stop over by the food court, I said yesterday that I'd be looking for a job and so what if they're hiring here. I see two people bickering and the place reads 'scoops ahoy' with an anchor. I look back at them again and- wait what. I double check, holy shit that's sailor girl. She's still very pretty but she's talking to some dude, he's not half bad looking but far out of my type seeing as I'm playing for the other team. I make my way inside and tap on the bell "No Robin I'm just saying I shouldn't be here" the guy says while the girl looks at him unamused before looking at me "welcome to scoops aho- oh- Hi" she looks nervous "Hey" I answered back giving a small smile "uh I was just gonna ask if you guys were hiring" I question the both of them without getting any answers "Hello?" I wave my hand in front of their faces "oh right- hi, yes, yes we are" sailor girl says "that's great! How can I get hired or an interview? Something like that?" I fire back "I think Steve here" she points to the guy, I guess his name is Steve "will take over while I, I can interview you. If you'd just come with me" she walks through a door and I follow after sitting down by a small table in what I think is like a break room or storage room. She sits down as well with a paper and pen that she slides over to me. It has questions like 'what do you bring to the workplace ' and 'why do you want this job' after answering I slide it back to her and she gives me a quick smile before she opens her mouth "I'm Robin by the way, Robin Buckley" "Y/n L/n" I smile at her, so far so good. "So if I begin working here do I have to wear that ridiculous uniform?" I question to try and make some conversation "company policy, so yes sadly you'll be the third sailor on this ship" she answered giggling a little at my remark about the uniform

-13:02-

Me and Robin have been talking for the past god knows how long and it's amazing, she's amazing. We've been laughing and talking and turns out we both have interests in common like we're both band nerds or 'geeks' as Robin says she plays French horn and trumpet while I play guitar and Trombone. We also like some of the same music which is great, Robin is great. "Wait okay I have one last thing to say, why are you always rushing out the door every morning" I slide in the fact that we live on the same road "Okay okay, I always set my alarm correctly then I wake up and think I have a few minutes to sleep before I have to seriously get up so I keep sleeping in and then run out the door last minute" she fires back her very grand excuse which I can only chuckle at

-14:53-

So now I have just said goodbye to my new coworkers and begin making my way home, while saying bye Robin seemed kind of sad that I couldn't stay around longer but I promised to come back tomorrow for my first day of working. They also sent me home with a sailor uniform which I very highly thought about burning. I didn't however(self control on point) I just got off the bus and my house is a close

-15:01-

I put my key in the door and open the door to the sound of faint music from the radio and my mom is on the couch reading something "I'm home!!" I yell out and I hear footsteps coming closer "hey sweetheart, how was it?" My mom leans in the doorframe of our living room "it went better than expected, I actually found a job" I say while taking off my shoes "oh really? Where?" "Scoops ahoy, it's an ice cream shop in the mall" "that's great y/n" I smile at my mom showing her the uniform I got "oh my little sailor! It's really great, so who are you working with?" My mom has many questions "this guy named Steve an-" I get cut off by my mom "oh! a guy? Is he cute? How old is he?" I look at her before continuing "as I was saying and a girl named Robin. And to answer your questions he's not my type and I think one or two years older than me" I begin making my way to my room "we'll see how long the 'not my type' will hold!" I close the door before my mom can continue any longer. Though she'll probably continue at dinner and everyday.
