Is This How It's Going To Be

CONRI'S POV:

Star did wake me up and I'm a bit angry, but I will not show her that I am. I can't do that to her, it's really not her fault, it's because she must get used to her new schedule. I know it will take some time for her, but I hope this is not how it's going to be. I feel that if it is, then we must change something around to accomodate the both of us. I stand in the kitchen with Star and I think to myself, "I wish I would have gotten a little bit more sleep, but she had to go and run the vacum and wake me up. She knows I am a light sleeper."

I almost started shaking my head back and forth, but I held myself back since it's not her fault. But then I realize she hasn't gotten any sleep, she's been up since 7pm yesterday evening, so I ask her why she didn't sleep yet? The only response she said was that she could not fall asleep, but she is very tired. I'm not sure what's going on with her because I'd be sleeping if I was in her position.

I must go out into the field, I have much to get accomplished today. I informed Star that I have so much to get done today and I will be out in the field all day. I mentioned to her that she must get some rest then I went outside. I'm just not sure about this night shift for her, I hated that she was not with me last night. I wanted her laying next to me, not as stupid work!

I feel that this is going to be a serious mistake. I feel that this is not going to work out for either of us, but I guess we must grasp that this is how it is for now, at least. She need to be home with me, she's needed more here than at work!

I'm done thinking about this, I must get my stuff done today, I'm gonna release all my frustration out in the field before the rest of my pack arrives! I do not want any of them to see me like this, I will not let them see me frustrated especially Nick and Justice. The fact that Justice works at the same place as Star makes it even tougher because I know how women can be when they are together. They talk about everything and who knows what Star will tell Justice or vice versa. If Justice finds out that I am frustrated with Star's hours then she will make sure that she informs her that I am upset about it.

I'm just going to give this more time. Maybe I'm overthinking or overreacting, I don't know. I did agree with this decision so I can't complain about it, well, at least not yet. I'm over this, so I'm going out into the field and gonna start practicing.

I grabbed my sword from inside of one of the tents and started practicing my moves with it. I remember as a little kid my dad would show me how to use a sword, he even gave me one, it was a small one since I was little at the time. I remember watching him practice and thought, "I'm going to be just like him when I grow up. He's so strong and confident." Now that I'm older, my sword is as big as his was. I keep his sword locked away, only I know where it is at. His sword is very powerful and I never know when I will need to use it.

Nick is the first one to arrive. When he nears me, he looks at me and asks why I'm inhaling and exhaling profusely. I had to catch my breath and wipe the sweat from my face before I could say a word. When I finally caught my breath I said, "Oh, hey. I've been out here practicing with my sword. I've been practicing vigorously and that's why I'm out of breath. I could use a break though."

Nick and I walked inside one of the tents and sat down. At first we talked about just things in general, then he asks if I had mapped out our plan of attack, and of course, I told him that I did. I showed him the map and what is set up so far, and the distance our our area that we must cover incase of an attack. We must take every precaustion that there is to take. As we went over the details and waited for the rest of the pack to arrive, he asks me where Star is, I mentioned to him that she's probably sleeping because she works the night shift now. He looks at me like I'm crazy for letting work those hours. So I ask him why he is looking at me in this way?

"Dude, you better keep your eye on that boss of hers," He said.
"A-Ahhh, why?" I asked.
"I don't care for him. I don't knw him personally, I've just heard things about him," He replied.
"Hmmm. Well, what have you heard about him?" I asked.
"Just that he's a conniving person. But like I said, I don't know him personally," He said.
"Well, I don't know him either, Star hasn't said anything bad about him and you would think she would if he is treating her badly," I replied.
"That's true. I feel like Justice would have mentioned it to me ask well, so I guess I heard wrong," He said as he shrugged his shoulders.
"I will keep an eye out though," I said.

Now I'm wondering if there is something suspicious with this boss of hers. I mean, I have not even met him yet and now she's working night turn so now I will not get to meet him since he won't be there at those hours. I'm thining that I'm going to mention it to Star when she wakes that I want to meet her boss.

Yes. That's what I am going to do when she wakes. I'm going to meet her boss.
