"Wow," is the first thing I say when I watch Tyler make the ice-cream. I've never actually made ice-cream before, but hey, you gotta start somewhere, right? He smiles and hands me the cone.

"It's as simple as that," he grins as I take the cone. I lick the creamy treat. "Wow," I repeat again like a broken robot. He laughs and leans against the counter. I stare at him, so relaxed compared to whenever the boss is around. Sure, boss man is funny, but he can still fire us. Take everything away. I catch his eye and he pulls out his phone. "I just realized, I don't have your number!" He hands me the phone. I quickly type in my number.

"Now, come on. We should start working before the boss fires us," he clears his throat and pats my back. He walks out the door and greets a customer. He then walks back in. Instead of walking to the machines, he just hands me the list. He winks and leaves the room. I freeze for a second before turning to the machines.

"Finally," he flops onto a chair dramatically sighs. I walk over to the Open sign and flip it over. I sit next to him and lay my head on the table. He turns my chair around so my back is facing him. He starts rubbing my shoulders. "The first few days will be difficult, but aren't you lucky? You have me to give you endless shoulder massages!"

I let out a soft laugh. "Ty?" I ask. "Why do you work here?"

He stops and lets me turn around. "My- uh- parents want me to learn about life and all of its wonders," he avoids eye-contact and clears his throat.

"I know what you feel, my parents are strict like that too. I guess you just have to... Push through it," I mumble. 

"Uh, we should really lock up. It's pretty late already," he mutters and stands up. "I'll see you tomorrow at school, I guess," he says before grabbing his jacket and backpack, I do the same. He glances at me for a second before letting me walk through the door. He locks the door behind us. "See you later?" He asks. I nod and watch him walk the other direction.
