“I have a bad feeling about this job” I said to Roxy as we entered the arena.

“Oh come on, it’s only a season and we’ll be out of here”

“This place gives me the shivers, being a Flames fan and all”

“You’ll get used to it” she said.

“Interns!” we turned around to see a large intimidating man, quite scary looking to be honest. Roxy looked a bit nervous, but I stood my ground.

“Yes?”

“I’m Bruce, and you’re Amanda and Roxanne, am I right?”

We both just nodded.

“Okay, first camp practice should be over in a few minutes. I’m going to need you guys to get Gatorade and things ready for them in the locker room, okay?”

“Yes sir” Roxanne replied as we turned and saw everything ready to go.

“Like I said, bad feeling Roxy” I sighed.

“Yah, I’m starting to think the same thing” she smirked.

Some of the guys started piling in, grabbing drinks and towels.

“Hey Mandy, you want to go grab some ice, this is starting to get warm” Roxy asked.

“Oh yah, sure thing”

I walked down the hall towards the back room, and into the freezer. As I came out I ran into a tall blonde. Dark eyes, deadly glare. You could tell how rich she was from the designer bag hanging from her arm and by the way she walked.

“Hi?”

“New intern?” a small smirk appeared on her lips, and you could just see the wheels turning in her head.

“Yah, Mandy” I replied, holding out my hand.

“I don’t care” she said swatting it away.

I took a step back and nodded, “Fine then”

I tried to walk around her but she followed me, all the way back to the locker room. I just sighed and handed Roxy the bag of ice.

“Who’s this?” she asked.

“I don’t even know”

“I’m going to let you know straight up” she started, “You have no say around here, got it? My daddy’s the owner, and if any one of you screw up, I can have your little butts fired, alright?”

“Hon, we’re just here to do our jobs, alright, we don’t want any trouble” I replied. Roxy just stood there, a bit taken aback, she was never much of a talker. I was always the outspoken one.

“You take one wrong look at these boys…” she whispered.

“We don’t want any of them” I snapped, “That’s not why we’re here, okay?”

“Bruce, this Gatorade is warm, you better talk to your interns” she said as she turned on her heel and walked away.

“Amanda! What did I tell you?”

“I’m on it” I replied, “Damn I hate when people call me Amanda”

“It’s your birth name” Roxy replied.

“Doesn’t mean I like being called it!”

She just laughed and I looked over as there were three more guys coming around, and I swear I took a second look. Long, shaggy dark hair, cute grin, he was almost perfect.

“That’s Petra” he said, “Don’t let her get to you”

“Oh” I smirked, “Yah, okay”

“You going to grab me a drink, or…?”

“Yah, sure” I said grabbing him a drink.

He ran his fingers through his hair as he left me with a smile. I just looked at Roxy and she tried to keep from laughing.

“What!?”

“You were flirting with him” she smirked.

“Was not!” I replied folding my arms across my chest.

She just shook her head and continued tossing sweaty towels into the basket beside her. I just sighed as two guys showed up in front of us. I looked at them for a minute and then looked at Roxy. She just stood up and sighed, “You live in our building!” she said pointing at one.

“Wait, you’re Taylor Hall” I replied.

“I am…”

“You broke our elevator!” Roxy said pointing at him again.

“That thing was bound to break sooner or later”

“Yes, but I just found out when I had to bring ten bags of groceries…up stairs!”

He just smirked and shrugged, “Sorry”

The other guy seemed really quiet, I directed my attention to him, “And you are?”

He was stunned for a minute and then Taylor elbowed him in the side, “I’m Jordan”

“Okay, well I’m Mandy, and this is Roxy, we’re interns”

“Wait…you’re the girl that almost threw up on us!” Jordan said, “Hey Lander! Remember that?”

He just laughed, “Oh yah! She was playing knicky nine doors on our floor, drunk”

“I told you to stay in the apartment” I mumbled to her.

“It seemed fun, at the time, and it was, from what I remember” she smirked.

“Girls! Stop talking and get working!” I heard Bruce from down the hall. Petra was standing in front of him, smirking at me.

“You guys better go” I said, “Don’t need to get fired on the first day…”

“We’ll see you around, we’ll carpool” Jordan joked.

I just smirked, “See ya’s”

They left and it looked like Taylor was scolding him for the stupid joke at the end. I just laughed and looked back at Roxy, who had her eye on something, or rather someone. That kid they called Lander, I think.

“Roxy?”

“Hey, dare me to throw this bottle at that guy’s ass?” she laughed.

“Obviously” I chuckled.

She tossed it and she hit her target, but then we couldn’t stop laughing, while we tried to work. He turned around and immediately walked over. Her face got red, and I just kept giggling.

“You throw this?” he asked.

“Uh…nope” I replied, “She did”

“Mandy!” she said smacking my arm.

“It’s okay” he laughed, “You have good aim”

I just smirked as he kept his eye on her, “Oh…well uh, we were just…”

“Girls, if I have to tell you again!” Bruce yelled again.

“I’ll see you girls around, I’m Anton by the way”

“Mandy and Roxy” I replied, since Roxy’s voice got hitched into her throat.

“See ya” he left and Roxy’s eyes never looked away.

“You like him”

“He is very beautiful”

We both just started laughing at her comment as we finished cleaning up.

“Remember Roxy, we’re here to make money so we can get out of here asap”

“I know, I’m just saying he’s hot” she shrugged.

I just smirked and sighed as we watched the last few guys leave the locker room. Petra’s glared at me, as if I was a threat. She was like a dog, this was her territory and no one was going to invade it, myself and Roxy especially.
