She pushed a strand of light blue hair out of her eyes and ran across the water. Splashes with each step she ran across the bay of the city. It was night and no one was in sight. She hadn't run away, it was more like running to somewhere. She didn't know where yet. But now that she was in the city she could probably get a job somewhere. Running through the citys beach and into the city streets she slowed to a walk and began to look for help wanted signs.
Ever since she was thirteen she had kept up the same routine. Skipping from town to town looking for a steady job. Now that she was fourteen she was more likely to get a better job. Looking up the end of the street she saw what she needed. A pizza shop with a help wanted sign in the window. The light was still on inside. So she headed in.
Five teens were sitting at a table. One had green skin and hair and another appeared half robot. Keeping her head low and avoiding anyones gaze she headed toward the counter. She already stuck out like a sore thumb with her light blue hair and purple eyes.
"Um. Hi. You had a help wanted sign in the window?" She began uncertainly.
"Who's that?" Beastboy asked Robin over a vegetarian pizza. "I haven't seen her here before."
"Beastboy, if you had been listening, you would have heard her ask about the help wanted sign." Robin took a bite of pizza "Go ask her yourself."
"No way dude! You know what happened last time!" Beastboy said.
"What?" asked Raven looking up from her book. "Did you get slapped again?" she said as she raised her eyebrows mockingly.
"Yes are you here for the job?" said the cashier. "I'll have to get the Boss out here to talk to you. Can you wait a sec?"
She nodded. And took a took a stool at the counter and presently a bulky man wearing an apron walked out with the cashier.
"So your here for a the job? We really need a part time waitress if your interested."
"Yea. When can I start?"
"Hold on a second. You have to tell me your name and age first. Restraunt rules."
"Um. I'm 14." after deciding upon a proper name she said "My names Addy."
"Can you start tomorrow?" He asked.
"Sure. What time should I be here to start?"
"We open up at seven in the morning. So can you be here at six thirty?"
"Yeah."
"Ok then. Start work tomorrow then. See you then."
"Bye." Addy said as he walked back into the kitchen. She began to walk toward the door. The five were ahead of her leaving, as she walked out the one with black hair held the door open for her. "Thanks." She said as she ran as quickly as she could toward the bay.
Walking across the Bay at night was peaceful. The stars and the moonlight reflected off of it and the waves lapped gently around her ankles. She stopped and stood on the water near the island with the tower on it.
"How do you do that?" called a voice just yards behind her.
