The red-headed 18-year old was panting, obviously out of breath when she arrived at work on Monday afternoon. She'd ran from the bus station to the store to avoid being late for the first time ever. Though to be fair, she had a perfectly good reason for being late, but it wasn't one that anyone would believe. While messing around at a friend's house with a book of 'magic', Laura became the recipient of a certain power. That power was the ability to swap people's traits, either physical or mental ones. She's discovered her ability by accidentally swapping breast size with her friend, Melissa, and to her amazement... Melissa didn't even notice her C-cups shrinking to Laura's B-cup size. She swapped them back of course, and then her head was filled with all the knowledge about her power. So... it had been a very itneresting day so far. And now, Laura had arrived at Wilko for her six hour shift, 3:00pm - 9:00pm along with every other employee.
"Cutting it fine aren't you luv?" Liz addressed an out of breath Laura as she almost 'fell' in the front doors.
"Er... yeah, uh... sorry Liz." Laura gasped, waving her hand in front of her face as she tried to get her breath back a little. She wondered why she didn't exercise more, then maybe she'd be in better shape physically.
"Well, you're not actually late, so why don't you run upstairs and put your things in your locker before you are." Liz said, glancing at her watch.
"Okay, be back down in a minute." Laura nodded, disappearing upstairs. Laura thought, like many others, that Liz was a little strict, but then again... she understood it came with being a supervisor. It was partly to impress Elizabeth of course, but Liz also did it for herself. She liked being a taskmaster, but she did try to be a fair one, unless she was in a bad mood, which was rare.
Laura slipped her coat and bag into her locker then turned around, immediately bumping into Charlotte... who had her trademark toothy grin on her face.
"You late?" Charlotte pried, hands on hips.
"No, nearly though." came Laura's response, sweat still visible on her brow.
"Well you don't want to spoil your perfect record do you, better run along to Liz." Charlotte sneered.
Laura watched as Charlotte disappeared into the ladies room, and she shook her head. Charlotte could be okay some days, but they were few and far between, today she was obviously being a bitch, and she didn't like the fact that Laura was never in trouble with management like herself. Laura looked at her watch and scurried downstairs to get her first job off Liz.
For a moment, she'd forgotten about her power, but then she remembered. From now on... work didn't have to be boring.
