She sharply looks straight at Shane, who’s on her phone like usual

Jenny: I’m going for a fag, would anyone like to join me

Shane quickly snaps her phone shut

Shane: after you queen

Shanes glances up and follows jenny out the room giving Carmen a warm smile.

Carmen feels a lump in her throat and thinks to herself wow she’s an amazing girl

Carmen: Paul how long has Shane worked here for?

Paul: she started about 2 weeks before, she is as cool as fuck

Carmen: thanks Paul, I think I’m gona go and grab a quick fag.

Carmen walks to her bag in her locker and takes her phone out, knowing she doesn’t smoke but wants to fit in with the girls outside.

Shane: urm what u off?

Jenny: I’m off at 6, the same time as u, I looked on the wage sheet before, and we are on the next 4 shifts 2geva with that new kid Carmen

Shane: ahhh the Latino, she’s cool, haven’t really spoke to her much

Jenny: Shane I wouldn’t bother, I don’t think she’s gona fit in around her… it’s not her style and plus I don’t like her attitude

Carmen walks over to the smokers hut

Carmen: hey guys, can I pinch a fag, I forgot mine 2day and I’m dying for one

Jenny: aww I’m sorry Carmen I only have enough to last me all day

Jenny opens her packet and shows Carmen that’s she has about 15 cigarettes

Shane: hey have one of mine, I can easily go the shop and get some more

Shane passes one to Carmen who smiles from ear to ear

Carmen: why thank you Shane you’re a star

Shane: so you’re new hey

Carmen: well 2 weeks behind you I hear

Jenny: but your new Carmen, Shane knows everyone as her brother is the manager.

Carmen: really wow, I never knew that… come to think of it you guys do look the spit of each other

Shane: don’t say that it gives me a complex, ha ha but then again he’s my big bro and I wouldn’t swap him for the world.
