Snippet #1852434

Adrian walked out of his house and yelled a hurried goodbye to his mother. He set out the door and caught the elevator moments before it closed, he looked at his watch. He was going to be late for class. He knew he was, he just knew. He tapped his feet quickly until the elevator stopped. He basically ran out of the apartment complex, he had money for the bus but he had missed that, the next one wouldn't come for a long time.The rain from the night before was still going and the wind was blowing all the water into his face. He started walking towards school, at least walking was faster than taking a car at this time of the day, not really but Adrian told himself that.
He arrived at school late and walked into a restroom instantly. He looked in the mirror, his brown hair had being messed up and his school uniform was soaked. He tidied up his hair slightly, before holding out his hands by his side and closing his eyes. 'come on...' He thought. He felt the water disappearing slowly and he suddenly stopped, because he started feeling the moisture from his skin disappearing also. He opened his eyes. He was as dry as a summer's day.
After class was finished Adrian caught the bus to his after school job in Horizon. He arrived right on time, for once. His boss looked up as he came in "Ah, so he arrives and blesses us with his presence." He says sarcastically. "There is new stock to be put out and then you can mind the front desk while I run errands, so do hurry up and get changed." His boss says and gets back to work. 'Yes sir...' Adrian thought.
After three hours of work it was time to walk to his mother's restaurant that was just two blocks away, he grabbed his bag and waved goodbye to his boss.
He arrived at the always busy restaurant to find his mother at the bar, serving drinks. "Hey, ma. What are you doing?" Adrian asked confused.
"Well, Kayla is away today so I had to fill in for her," she said, as she poured him a cold coke, with a splash of raspberry syrup. "There you go Murph," she said.
Adrian drank his favourite drink happily then got behind the counter, "I'll take over here and grab a taxi home," He said, "you were meant to finish now anyway, you work too hard." Annabelle kissed her son on the cheek, "that's what you do when you're the boss, you work hard." She says, "but you're right I could use the time," she went into the back room and grabbed her handbag, "okay don't forget 10 o'clock on the dot, I want you home." She says and walks out the door.
