Convenient Stop

Fayetteville, North Carolina. 6:30am. The telephone rings, no one picks up. The answering machine takes over.
“Amy, pick up,” the voice says, “Pick up, it’s your boss. I need you to come in today.”
“If you don’t show up it’s your job on the line. So you better get over there, Amy.”
The message is over and the boss hangs up. Well, looks like I better get the hell out of bed. I get up and begin getting dressed. As I pull up my pants, I take a look over at the calendar. Calander shows that it’s Wednesday. The slowest day of the week.
“Aw, man,” I groan, “This sucks.”
Just for the fun of it, I glanced over at the clock. And just as I suspected, that only made things worse.
“Oh, come on,” I groaned some more, “It’s 6:30 in the morning.”
I took off into the bathroom to do my morning routine. Brush my teeth, check my face and sometimes if I feel up to it, I even try to fix my hair. Which today seems like a good day for it. Seriously, you never know, someone might not notice it. Well, if you haven’t already figured it out, my name’s Amy. Amy Lynn Fae. Sometimes Amy Lynn and sometimes just Amy. But for my frequent and sometimes creative customers, princess. Or, you guessed it, Princess Amy.
I work in the most boring place on the planet. A place the industry likes to call, the Convenient Stop. I take one long stretch and walk out the door. And by the way, the store’s across the street from my apartment.

More to come.. Feedback appreciated..

What a small world Amy lives in. lol

For a narrative, it's not too bad. I'd like to see how big her world can get. :)

Eventually, Amy's world will get bigger. This story is a make up and go. The whole idea was inspired by Clerks 2.

I'm glad you like the name. Amy is a character I've been using since middle school. Over the years she's gotten her full name and has become known by all my friends. Half the time people think she's actually real..

Hard not to think she's real.







Either way, she amazing, though.

Here's a bit more to the story..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few times, I've actually sat there and thought about how boring my town is. I mean really, my best friend works down the sidewalk at a skate shop. And his apartment is right above mine. Sometimes it feels like we don't move.
I began counting down, "Three, two, one. And out the door comes Jack."
This is how lazy we both are, I drive to work and he rides his skateboard. But hey, it beats walking during summer time. Which can kill you if you're not careful. I took a sip of my coffee and Jack walked in.
"Have you ever thought about how lazy you look driving to work?" he asked, "I mean really, you live over there."
"I don't care how I look," I answered, "At least I don't skate to work. It's sort of the same thing, they both have wheels."
He stared at me, "True, but, I at least get some fresh air."
I picked up my magazine and rolled it up, "Go to work, Jack."
He cowered like a dog and walked away slowly, "Alright, alright. I'm going."
I've known the guy at least ten years and he still cowers at the sight of my magazine. Now that I look at it, I can understand why. It's very thick. I've finally come to realize that I have no life beyond this stupid store. I am so boring.

This is starting after the "I am so boring." part.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

But, I've come to accept this fact. Why? Because everyone is boring. Except this one girl I went to high school with. Her name's Stephenie. It was the after party of graduation night. We decided to have a party on the roof of a hotel. And she was making out with this guy from the football team. And Stephenie was so drunk, she had to run to end of the building. She puked from the roof into someone's car. They had left their sunroof open and they also happened to be in it. We still torment her about it to this day. Last Jack and I heard she married the guy in the car. Which the guy turned out to be a girl because he/she had just gotten to the hotel from the hospital after the sex change. It was a weird night. But hey, we were drunk. I snapped back to reality as the chime from the door went off. It was Jack, it looked like he'd run over.
"Somethin' wrong?" I asked.
He gasped for air, "Can.. I.. Use your.. Microwave?"
I stared at him for a long moment and finally spoke, "You ran over for that?"
He nodded and walked towards the microwave.
"Dude, you are such a loser!" I shouted, throwing a Twinkie at him.

Honestly, I don't really like Twinkies. But the idea of throwing one at someone is funny. I've done it before. Anyway, unlike most of my stories I feel like I may finish this one. So yeah, there will be more stuff coming..

Theres a scary thought: Only twinkies and cockroaches can survive a nuclear holocaust. And we EAT those?! XD

EDIT: Well, we eat twinkies, not cockroaches. Unless you're really starving...eww...XD I think you all knew what I meant. XD

Jack looked at me and stuck his tongue out.
"What do you need it for anyway?" I asked.
"Charlie killed ours," he answered, "So now I can't make my soup!"
"So, no pun intended, you conveniently happen to be down the sidewalk."
I looked at him and shook my head. The joke was just too stupid. I couldn't laugh, I couldn't even comment.
"You ran all way here for soup?" I asked, dumbfounded.
He nodded and opened up the microwave door, "By the way, I saw Stephenie coming from your apartment door. I think she's looking for you."
I rolled my eyes and pretended to puke.
"And you say I'm a loser," he said, trying not to laugh.
