"Yeah me too." Kyla chimmed in.

"Oh come on, so what if I can make a decent pie, who cares." Ashley said looking down at her hands. Carmen spoke.

"Look at this Ashley," Carmen said opening her jean jacket and looking down at her work uniform.

"As you can clearly see, my right boob is much higher than my left boob," She said, gesturing to her chest. She then received a ‘what the hell’ look from Ashley.

"And Kyla here, has oily, oily skin. I’m stuck in a marriage to raving, hormonal, bitch and Kyla eats T.V. dinners alone but," she paused for effect, "we still wouldn’t rather be you." She finished and Ashley frowned.

"I do have oily, oily skin." Kyla said like she was discovering a new found revelation. Then all three of them heard a car pull up, honking its horn rather loudly. It was Aiden. Ashley sighed.

"Well here he is." She said somewhat dreadfully, rising from her spot on the bench.

"See you tomorrow honey." Kyla said.

"Good luck, and if you do tell him your…" Ashley quickly shut her up.

"Shhh." She exclaimed. Aiden then rolled down the car window.

"Hey." He said to Ashley.

"Hey." she said back while Kyla and Carmen sat there, fake smiles plastered to their faces. Ashley walked over to the car and as she did Carmen greeted Aiden.

"Hiya there Aiden, we all just agreed your hair is super attractive," said, "Hooray for you." Both her and Kyla exclaimed and Aiden idly nodded towards them, not really paying any attention. He then rolled up the window and sped off, not even giving Ashley time enough to fully get into the car. As they drove away Kyla and Carmen watched.

"I don’t care if she is an amazing pie genius, I wouldn’t trade places with her."
 Kyla said aloud and shook her head. Carmen mirrored her actions.

"No, me neither," Carmen added, "Me neither."

As Ashley sat next to Aiden in the passenger seat with the radio blasting, she didn’t say a word. She had too many thoughts swimming around in her head.

"You don’t look happy to see me." Aiden said, glancing over at her. Because I’m not, you asshole, she thought, but would never dare say it out loud. Ashley looked over at him and he at her.
