Jason woke up feeling all determined and ready to conquer the world. He was awake long before his usual time. He took his time having his shower and went to his wardrobe.He rummaged through it and then pulled out a dress shirt that he had worn during his first year of school.He put it on and a pair of pants before he wore his best shoes.He looked at his phone for the time. He still had an hour left to get to work.He came out to find that his grandmother had already left for her morning shift.That would change soon, he thought in his head.His grandfather was having his breakfast in the kitchen and he joined him."Good morning, grandpa." Jason looked at his grandfather when he didn't respond to his greetings. He made himself toast and coffee before he sat down beside him."Good morning grandpa." Jason repeated."Oh… I'm so sorry Jason. I didn't see you there." His grandfather replied with a smile that quickly slipped off his face. "Where… where are you going to?" He asked.Ja
The cup flipped in the air and the cover fell off, all the coffee going splash— on the executives three piece designer suit. Shock left Jason and everyone else temporarily dumbfounded.A curse left Jason's lips as he looked up with horrified eyes and met the angry eyes of the man Jerry was with.“Who is this incompetent fool who…who…” the big man looked like he was about to experience a heart attack.“You spilled hot coffee on me!” Thankfully, the coffee hadn't touched the man's face or any patch of bare skin. If it had, Jason would be dragged behind bars for not only mentally but physically scarring a person.Jerry was snapped out of his shock, but be looked lost on what to do as the drenched man continued to bark and rave.“You ruined my suit?!"The big man who was one of the executives from the very top asked, his face red with fury. Everyone could see that the man was beyond angry and Jason immediately knew that he had fucked up.He had spilt hot coffee on one of the top executi
Jason watched Jerry's back disappear from his view. He really needed to get him to forgive him for his earlier fuck up. He could only hope that first impressions didn't last in this case. Jason grabbed the money from his desk and went to Lydia's desk. “Uh… hey Linda. Can I ask you something?” “Sure, what's up?” Jason bristled on his feet. He hated being sent around on his first day. He had expected to be welcomed and to be given actual work.“Jerry asked me to get him Chinese for lunch. Do you know where I can get him some?” He inquired.Linda paused for a minute.“There's two actually. But one is bit far but he likes the food there best. Here let me write you the address.” She replied scribbling on a note.“Thanks.” Jason muttered accepting the note from her.He turned to walk to the elevator when Linda called him back.“Jason, if you wouldn't mind, could you please get me a burger and fries.” She said taking out some money from her purse and giving it to Jason. Jason nodded a
Jason dragged himself home. He looked like someone that had run a marathon.He got home and dragged himself into the shower.After a quick shower he changed into a t-shirt and shorts. Since he skipped his lunch he went to the kitchen to fix himself a sandwich. He opened the fridge and grabbed what he needed for his sandwich and made two.Just as he was done, his grandparents walked in.“Hey, you guys.” Jason said in a way of greeting.“Jason!” His grandmother shouted and walked over and peppered his face with kisses.He groaned in the way you'd expect a grown man being peppered with kisses like a baby would, but fully embraced her back.“”When did you get back?” His grandfather asked him, hanging his coat on the hanger.“Not too long ago.” He replied.“How was your first day?” His grandmother asked when she finally let him go. Jason looked at her and was glad that her bruises were almost fully healed.“It was alright.” Jason replied, looking away as he told the lie.It was most def
Jason walked out of Jerry's office, his face burning, literally.He hurried to the restroom and splashed some water on his face.He looked down at his shirt and saw the coffee stains on it.There was no saving the shirt and it was half his nice clothes.He cleaned the shirt as best as he could before he left to get Jerry his second cup of coffee. He walked out of the restroom with the wet shirt clinging onto him. He avoided looking at the others as he walked to the elevator. As the elevator went down, he debated if he should report what happened to Robert but he knew he should not.This was part of the reason why his identity was kept a secret.He made Jerry his coffee with less cream this time around.“You took your sweet ass time.” Jerry commented when he came back.Jason bit his lip to stop words from coming out of his mouth.Jerry took the coffee from him and took a sip.“Slightly better. Could do with a lot more cream, though.” He said waving Jason away.Jason's eyelids twitched
Jason wasn't sure if he heard right. “What do you mean I can't come back?” He asked Jerry when he saw that the other man wouldn't clarify.“It's simple, honestly. If you leave without permission then you're automatically fired.” Jerry replied, going through some files on his desk.He hadn't even bothered sugarcoating it. “Be sure to take all your properties on your way out. Maybe they'll send us someone with actual brain cells after you've gone.” He murmured harshly under his breath but Jason had heard him loud and clear. Jason stood stock still. He didn't know what to do.“Are you still here?” Jerry asked him when he didn't move.“But, isn't there a way around it?” Jason asked.He couldn't miss this. He had to get to the school and fix his classes.“Get this Jackson, there's no way around it and even if there was I still wouldn't tell you. Now get your wretched self out of my office.” Jason walked robotically out of the office.He slumped down in his chair and supported his face
Jason stepped down from the bus he took to school.It was easier for him to save some cash from using the bus instead of taking a cab all the time.The bus had stopped some distance away from the school but it was still walkable.He hooked his thumb in the strap of his backpack and began his walk the rest of the way to his new school. Jason was very much eager to start at a new school, maybe even make some while he was at it. The only friend he had made in his previous school was Raymond and unfortunately he didn't transfer with him.He walked the short path to the school and a short while later he was approaching the school premises. He didn't see anyone else walking, He was the only one walking along the path. Cars sped past him towards the school's main entrance.Jason got to the school entrance and was amazed at what he was seeing. The school parking lot was bursting with cars of different types. Expensive types. It was plain obvious that this was a school for the rich kids.
The girl giggled which made Jason realize that he'd said that out loud. He raised himself up with little difficulty and stood in front of the girl, heat creeping up to his face.“Are you ok?” The girl asked a bit tentatively.It was as if Jason wasn't paying attention to anything she was saying. He was busy taking in her beautiful, long, curly blonde hair. She had the prettiest hazel eyes and was considerably average.“Hey!” She screamed in face trying to get his attention.“Yeah, thanks for helping me out.” Jason replied, shaking his head. “No problem. I don't even know what's wrong with them, I mean why would they just beat you?” She said, adding that last part with annoyance. Jason smiled a little.The girl smiled at him “I need to get going now or else I'll be late for my first class. I guess I'll see you around.” She waved and walked away. Jason stood a bit in shock. That happened so fast, he was still thinking about how he'd ask for her name.Jason brushed away the dust on
