“Oh… then who do I sign in with?” I asked.

“Who knows?” Trent shrugged. “If you don’t sign in then this day doesn’t count… tough.”

I gritted my teeth. “Come on, guys,” I said. “Can you help me out here?”

“Uh, let us think about that,” Benjamin said.

He looked at Trent and then the two of them turned to me and said “No!” together. Then they burst out laughing like idiot fifteen-year-olds, and I sighed and headed into the station, trying to ignore them. I was heading towards the chief’s office, hoping that I could sign in with him when I ran into Samuel on the way.

“Samuel,” I said. “Trent and Benjamin said you had the day off today?”

Samuel rolled his eyes. “Idiots,” he said. “Consider yourself signed in. I need you to clean the rigging on engines three and seventeen.”

I spent the next several hours going through one backbreaking task after the other. I was so exhausted at the end of it that I almost forgot that I had something to be excited about: Gabby was my new roommate. Reminding myself of that helped and I decided to throw her a welcome party tonight. It would be a nice gesture for her, and at the same time, I could relieve some of my stress.

I picked up my phone and started making some calls.
