It's about 9 AM in the morning, with Cheri still sleeping in bed. Her phone begins to buzz multiple times receiving text messages. Cheri groans being woken up by it and she reaches for her phone without lifting the blanket from over her head. She takes her other hand to pull the charger cord out of the phone and drags the phone underneath the covers.

When opening up her phone the blinding glare of the screen hurts her eyes, she quickly goes into the settings to dim the brightness. While rubbing her eyes she opens the messenger app and sees there are a few messages from Jil.

Let's go get food

What time do you work today?

Cheri giggles at the message, still a bit groggy she types out her message.

I work 3PM-11:15PM

As soon as she replied she saw Jil typing. She must be up and ready to go.

BET!!! Let's go get food. I work from 3PM-11:15PM too today we can carpool to work.

Alright give me a sec to get ready come in like 30min. I'll bring my work clothes with me.

Same be there in a bit.

Cheri keeping mind of the time gets out of bed. She lets out a long yawn as she heads to the bathroom in her apartment. She walks past her roommate, Kia's, door as she gets to the bathroom, wondering when Kia will get up for the day.

She turns on some music from her phone and sets it down. She grabs her toothbrush and toothpaste and thoroughly brushes her teeth. Then it's time to wash the face and lastly puts her hair up into a bun. Grabbing her phone and walking back to her room she closes the door and heads to her closet, getting out her uniform and some casual clothes to wear.

Removing her pajamas, she puts on a loose long sleeve shirt and some long pants. Grabbing the tote bag hanging from her chair shoulder she places her uniform into it.

Her phone buzzes on the desk with the messenger notification ring.

Get yo fine self out here

Coming

Quickly replying and grabbing her things she flicks out the lights in her room and heads to the foyer. She picks up her work shoes and places them into her tote bag as well. Putting on her sneakers, and rushes out the door.

A clear and chilly day, Jil drove Cheri to Chicken Pot, a fast food restaurant they frequent from time to time for lunch. It's pretty empty in the restaurant as Jil and Cheri take their time in line staring at the menu. They're glad about the vacancy since they can't decide what they want.

"Do it, Cheri."

"I really shouldn't, I don't need that much food." Looking at the number 9 meal, where you can either get 8 chicken nuggets combo for $5.39 or a 12 piece for $8.65.

"You know you hungry."

Cheri looks at Jil like she's right, Jil gives a satisfying smile back.

Cheri begins to order. "Can I have a number 9 meal 8 piece combo only."

Jill palms her face, disappointed.

Jil orders after and then they go to grab their drinks. Cheri picks a cherry coke flavor, and Jil laughs at the irony with her name. Cheri laughs it off and goes to pick a table while Jil picks out an orange fruit soda flavor.

They sit down sipping at their drinks to relax while they wait for their food. It doesn't take long before the employees call them up to grab their food trays. They grab them and sit back down to eat.

Jil's box of nuggets is bigger because she got the 12 piece while Cheri got the 8 piece. Jil hums happily while munching on a nugget and playfully pokes Cheri's nugget box. Cheri laughs and brushes away Jil's hand.

"So, I have a date with this guy downtown this Friday."

"Oh, another online guy?" Cheri smiles as she replies.

Jil having just popped some fries into her mouth struggles to answer clearly, just letting out an affirmative groan. "Mhmm."

Jil chews enough of her food to be able to talk again, but just gives Cheri a blank stare. Cheri grabs a nugget and takes a bite staring back at Jil with a confused expression. Jil grabs more fries, ready to eat.

"If you could date anyone including me in our crew, who would it be?" Jil asks still with the blank look on her face.

"..." Cheri goes wide-eyed and starts to choke on her food.

Jil confusingly stares at Cheri while stuffing the fries she's been holding into her mouth.
