What was your…

Last Google Search:porn. Jk, I was reading a tv recap for AHS.

Last person you told you loved:I can’t think that far back.

Last time you felt jealous:not computable at this time.

After Lily Calloway said that Superheroes & Scones needed a couple more staff members, Maya hired a new employee during the Halloween weekend. One of which goes to Dalton Academy.Ace Davenport.Never seen him in my life—though he said he heard of me.

I couldn’t really tell if he hated or liked me. Maybe he’s just indifferent, but the moment he saw Willow fumbling with a rack of comics, he crouched next to her and helped re-shelve them.

They exchanged smiles.

I had a flashback.

Of me doing something kind of similar. Helping Willow pick up fallen cash from the register. It was the beginning of our friendship.

My stomach roiled at the thought of the beginning oftheirs.I stewed silently, and Maya must’ve seen my irritation. She gave me a look like,don’t do anything bad.“He’sveryvaluable to our team.”

Valuable.“How?”

“He’s a walking Marvel encyclopedia. He knows every character, every comic line, unlike other employees.”Unlike me.I probably won’t ever be Maya’s favorite, not after making her job as store manager harder, but I won’t stop trying to make it up to her.

I didn’t even complain when she gave me toilet duty this week. And the bathrooms were so shitty. Pun intended.

I push Ace to the back of my brain and focus on the questionnaire again.

Last time you screwed up something important:probably yesterday. Every day. Story of my life.
