Monday Morning
3:00 A.M
Ethan’s eyes flicked open, Monday morning… He glanced over at his alarm, Eh, I got time for one last shift before school. A slow smile spread across his face as he dashed to the shower. Hmm, Ocean breeze or… He picked up a new body wash he hadn’t seen before Smoke scented? Ah, Dad thinks he’s funny. Ethan rolled his eyes with a soft laugh and choose to go with the Ocean Breeze scent.

Ethan dried off and checked his watch, 3:15. 30 minute workout before my shift, yea that works. He quickly but neatly packed his uniform into his duffel bag and changed into a workout t-shirt and running shorts. After a good 30 minute workout of chest, cardio and arms, Ethan put on his uniform and drove over to the firehouse. The first two hours passed by without any trouble, He mostly played ping pong with the other guys that was until an ambulance call came over the radio requesting a welfare check on an old woman. Ethan and the senior paramedic raced to the ambulance beating out the other paramedics, “Ha, snooze you lose.” The others laughed, “Bring us back some of her cookies then!” Ethan chuckled, “Will do!” After ensuring Ms. Holcomb was ok, they ate some cookies and listened to a few of her stories before He looked at his watch. "We have to go, Ms. Holcomb, It was nice seeing you, as always but I have to get back so I can go to school. After saying their goodbyes, they headed back to the firehouse where Ethan dashed to his car, “Wait aren’t you going to change?” "No time, I need those extra few minutes if I’m not going to be late, I’ll change when I get there. “We could give you a lift?” But Ethan was already backing out and headed towards the school.
Once he arrived he stepped out and breathed, Made it! He grabbed his radio, “Switching to channel 4, let me know if I’m needed, over and out.” He turned to channel 4 and sighed, St. Andrews…been a while. He looked up towards the entrance and there she was. Kendrie Reynolds, beautiful as the last time I saw her. She wore a brown short sleeve shirt and lighter brown mini skirt all of which seemed to compliment her brunette hair. He slowly made his way to the school doors, carrying two duffel bags. When he finally got there he smiled and first words out of his mouth would’ve shocked anyone new here,“Wicked Witch of the East! How was your summer? Shame you didn’t melt in the pool. Love your first-day-of-school haircut by the way, split-ends really bring out those pretty eyes of yours.”
