Changed the name back to Mai and is now an OC. figured this was better for me, sorry!

During the next course of the day, and realizing that Mai had the day off, she went and checked out some of the stuff at a nearby mall, deciding to buy herself her first cell phone—she was probably going to need it. At least she knew it wouldn’t break so easily on her. She bought the cheapest one she could find and tested it out a bit by calling the restaurant and using the ‘what time do I work next?’ excuse. She bought a few necessary things and then headed off into a clothing store, wanting to see what designs they had back in the city.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvIRBfKYLH
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaJL8dBsbT
She found it odd how there were mixtures of modern and old looking clothes, but figured that this store was showcasing both trends and keeping original designs. She shrugged her shoulders and continued to look around, noticing a couple of stares from the cashiers. She wondered why on earth they would be staring, until one of them asked if she was from out of town. This made Mai a bit flustered—was it obvious to them? She told them that she was, and they welcomed her to the city, hoping that she would get adjusted soon enough. She proceeded to walk out of the store, feeling a bit awkward shopping there while they kept staring. She kept walking around until her eye caught a billboard with pictures of five children who went missing, and upon closer inspection, found that they went missing around the old Fazbear location.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESYbAi7oAF
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sXlXl1SCY
“Kids vanish at local pizzeria - bodies not found,” she read. It stated that five children gradually went missing, and although a suspect was found, police still suspected that the children were missing. Mai raised her eyebrow at this, and remembered when she read the article at the library, stating how the author described them as being murdered, but they also wrote that it was just speculation, so no one really knew. This particular article stated how the diner was threatened to close down because of the foul odor coming from the animatronics. “Police were contacted when parents reportedly noticed what appeared to be blood and mucus around the eyes and mouths of the mascots. One parents a likened them to reanimated carcasses.”335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqmGAmPQqg
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqaRUUyk6s
That sounded as awful as it did gross, and Mai read a bit further, stating that this all happened in the year 1987. That was six years ago, and she raised her eyebrow to this—the diner, supposedly, was created in 1973 but the article in the library stated that the murders/disappearances happened at that location. She was getting beyond confused now and started scratching her head.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VSK1RacFu
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBfO2m6FYi
“Don’t you have anything better to do than to stare at a wall?” her eyes widened as she quickly whipped her head around, staring at the ultimate prick named Mike Schmidt. She scoffed as she glared at him, and continued to keep reading the articles posted on the billboard. Mike walked a bit to her side as he glanced down at the article, and when he saw the year 1987, he gave a small sigh. “You probably wanna quit after seeing this, huh?”335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHxDfcAwnu
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxUfVaq8xX
“What? No, I don’t. It’s just…” she started, trying to string her words properly so it didn’t seem like she was purposely trying to find out about these murders or disappearances. “I was at the library one day to kill time, when I found an article that stated that these kids were killed at Fredbear’s Diner, not Freddy Fazbear’s pizza.”335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCZacAAaFE
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjcgdxvNMY
“That article in the library is bullshit, the author just wanted to make some money off of rumors,” Mike told her, and she looked up at him as he subconsciously continued. “There was Fredbear’s Family Diner, until some corporate drones bought it out, making it into Freddy Fazbear’s pizza.”335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GKU91autD
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83qEWP1Cbu
“So is the boss’ name not Fazbear?” she asked, surprised that she was keeping a conversation with the man that made her angry almost every time. Mike shook his head, telling her that it was just what he wanted people to call him to keep up appearance’s sake. He told her that when the whole incident happened they closed down, and six years later the boss opened up another location dubbed Freddy Fazbear’s pizzeria, but most people just knew it as Freddy’s pizzeria. She eyed him. “How the hell do you know all of this?”335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI9rp9p2Uh
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOXPRXAnAj
“Because I’m not a stupid waitress,” he spat, making her angry beyond words. Who was he to call her a stupid waitress? She probably made more money than he did in a day. He noticed her glare and just returned it with a smug look, like he was enjoying getting her all riled up. She puffed her cheeks and turned away from him. Despite the fact that he was somewhat helpful, he was still an arrogant asshole that she would rather not see. She was about to leave, until she heard his voice again. “Listen, I’d stay away from Vincent if I were you. That guy’s a dick.”335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh91KGAeOsW
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4giDyWpzC
“Who?—Oh, him.” She said, confused for a bit. He looked down towards her and raised an eyebrow, a lot of the girls at the pizzeria were all over Vincent whenever they got the chance, but maybe Mai was a bit different. Or partially blind. She just shrugged her shoulders. “He threw me off that night, plus I have a boyfriend.”335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFjckZiOIz
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrtqJRTBDm
Something in him told him that she’d have a boyfriend. It could’ve been the way she carried herself at work—calm, confident and reserved. Or maybe because she was pretty, but he wouldn’t admit that. “Also, the only dick I see around there is you. So, I have no clue what you’re talking about there,” she said before she gave a smug look of her own. She left the scene right after that, not wanting to hear what Mike had to say, who was fuming at the insult. He decided to let it go, seeing as he would see her at work and would be able to pass an insult there.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALOt2TTGxU
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOYt6tbzF8
He looked down towards his watch and noticed it was close to work, and so headed towards his truck as he drove to the dreaded place. Mai was heading towards her car as well when a screeching noise was made, and looked towards a truck that was coming dangerously close to her being. She walked closer to the other cars in the parking lot and when the truck passed she saw Mike in the driver’s seat. She rolled her eyes and sighed as she continued to look for her own car.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSIzdI6FYt

Mai came into work to do a short day shift, and while she didn’t make as much money as she was hoping, it was a nice day. The weather was starting to die down since they were now entering October, and fall was hitting them extremely late. She had to remind herself to buy a fall jacket, but for the most part she was doing okay with just a hoodie. One thing she noticed was that a lot of the other waitresses were getting pretty jealous at how much money Mai was making in tips, and some of them wouldn’t really look her way. She didn’t really put much thought into them though, since she wasn’t there to make friends. Lea, on the other hand, was still very sweet to her, along with Mackie and Joanna. She figured as long as she hung around them she’d be okay. 335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiFQZJxWnJ
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0FdaEfSO2
She was probably on her 4th day working here, and everything seemed pretty smooth—what more could she ask for? She trekked towards the staff room to grab a bite to eat, and while flipping through some of the magazines that were severely outdated, came two people that she never would have expected to be such good buddies.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsExixishck

Mike and Jeremy were walking through the door while exchanging a couple of words, and for once the prick didn’t have a scowl or glare on his face. He was laughing and cracking god awful jokes with Jeremy, who didn’t seem to enjoy the jokes that much, but still enjoyed the older male’s company. He caught sight of Mai, who was still staring at the two, and a massive blush grew on the poor guy’s face. Mike noticed this and turned to face her, and when their eyes met she glared at him. He just scoffed.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLinEUKyjfK
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRCUYeKKqm
“Smells like stupid waitress in here.”335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5RT2E4cby
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIqZpLZLDx
“At least I make more money than you, you arrogant asshole!” she shouted back. He had that scowl back on his face and stalked up towards her. She was close to her last nerve with him.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ve7zkKyUK
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg3kMZs1sq
“At least my job requires work,” he spat.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbZTWDk140
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlov8nyS7fS
“My job requires just as much work, if not more! And patience! Something you clearly lack,” she crossed her arms at this point, and the two stared at each other like they were having a contest at who had the best glare. Jeremy stood awkwardly in between them and tried the best he could to put an end to their battle. Luckily Mai was able to notice, and something in her couldn’t stay mad with Jeremy around, who was so shy that it was unbearably cute. She decided to ignore Mike as she stared at Jeremy. “Anyways… how are you doing, Jeremy?”335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1Bo1xN8ts
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGuLRLV3N4
“O-oh! I’m doing g-good,” he replied. Whenever he spoke to anyone who wasn’t Mike he couldn’t help but stutter or be extremely flustered. It was reason enough why he didn’t really like talking to the prettier looking waitresses around. The only reason he talked comfortably around Mike was because the two grew a bond that resembled that of a brotherly bond—and Jeremy often looked up to him because of his confidence despite him working there longer. Mai just smiled and asked if he did anything exciting during the past week, but he just shook his head a bit nervously. “H-how about you?”335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hdobyj5yb
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v99La9iCi
“Oh, I had the day off so I didn’t do much—just a little shopping. I stayed in most of the day,” she replied. Jeremy’s face grew ten times darker when he dared ask about her boyfriend, and Mai eyed him wondering how he found out.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5ILFmyCxW
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXaI6xb0cg
“I o-overheard you and V-Vincent the other d-day,” he stuttered. Both Mike and Mai looked at him and didn’t realize he was anywhere near the staff room, but then Mike remembered that he was doing the night shift. He cringed at the night shift—only he and Jeremy had those shifts, since he guessed they were the freshest meat around, but he hadn’t gotten scheduled a night in a while and was thankful for it.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoHSzIHqdE
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58A0vCZ728
“Oh.” Was all Mai could say. It took a lot for Jeremy to even mention something as personal as that, and was glad the woman didn’t claw him out for eavesdropping. Mike just scoffed and made some offhand comment about her boyfriend not wanting to hang around a stupid waitress, and that was the last nerve to make her snap. She took her bag, and with one huge swing, slapped Mike with the object. He cursed at the woman but she hit him again her bag, and the process kept repeating for a while. Jeremy couldn’t help but find the scene before him a bit comical—Mai wasn’t the tallest waitress around yet she was hitting a man who clearly towered over her.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEgLDzjAN0
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyLrmfac6T
“Stop fucking hitting me!” Mike cursed as he tried to grab the bag. Once he did he held it firm, yet Mai wasn’t letting it go either. They both stared at each other again with those intense glares that they didn’t even notice Scott walking through the door. He wondered what was going on, and when he saw Jeremy standing by he raised an eyebrow.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpFGPdjFFh
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteMPb4ZZex
“Jeremy? I thought you were doing the nightshift,” he asked. All eyes were on Scott, who, felt the stares of all three of them and suddenly grew nervous. Jeremy explained that he wanted to see if he could get a new shirt, seeing as the other one got ripped, and Mai perked her head out of curiosity.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqm3AjIZVh
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdAlP6tR8k
“How’d you rip your shirt?” she asked. Jeremy stuttered on his words and couldn’t give a proper answer, clearly perturbed about remembering how he got it ripped in the first place. Mai wondered what was going on until Mike jumped in.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoC4PtWfSC
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTH9mVWkrm
“Don’t bother explaining, a waitress like her can’t understand,” he said. She eyed and hit him one good time with her bag, and when he was about to say something Scott decided to interrupt.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IEmd8NHiN
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R0rqvsBXC
“Uh, don’t mind Jeremy, he probably got it ripped by the door hinges or something,” he said, trying to cover up Jeremy’s stuttering and potential spillage of what actually went on during a night shift. “This building has a couple of, uh, safety hazards… but, uh, just slight ones. You know, like every restaurant has.”335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhgfMabHJe
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusmBXRDinI
Mai decided not to push it any farther than that, but she felt like something wasn’t right. These security guards seemed pretty tight lipped about something as small as a ripped shirt, and she most likely knew they were hiding something. When she thought about it, she remembered Joanna talking about how Scott and Vincent were employed here the longest, and she decided to make it a mental note to talk to the young teen again. For the meantime, she walked away, deciding to carry on like normal for the rest of the day. 335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQxc843jgl
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM1MKWKONd
Once she finished her work for the day, she was cashing out and counting her tips like usual, but from earshot she was able to hear a couple of other waitresses talk about her.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqybIM5Dl9K
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IvkmcN7q8
“I wonder what she does to get that much.”335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHk2cx72wy
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRST7f6Dwr
“Do you notice how it’s just the men who talk to her?”335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeZg8alBha
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhAoEgdZXi
“Yeah, the wives never talk. Huh, now it makes sense.”335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVpEukj55k

“That’s so degrading…”335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb8a1CqmYG
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqyurqCtrn
She bit her lip—did they assume that she was trying to lower herself to get her tips? True, some of the time the men just talk to her, but she made it a point to look and talk to every single member of the table before heading into the kitchen. She never knew women here could be so catty. She sighed, all this work was making people dislike her and she only started working here. She grabbed her things and silently left the restaurant, only Mackie being the one she said her farewells to. Scott was nowhere in sight and she didn’t want to see Mike around either.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR9ysV80rx

When she was out of the parking lot she quickly noticed Vincent walking out of his purple sedan, and she quirked her eyes at it—either he was incredibly dedicated to the theme of this restaurant by dressing in purple, or he had an extreme affinity for the color. She looked down at her own uniform and wondered why she picked the red one again, because almost all of the waitress either had brown, yellow or purple to represent the animatronics. She was finally able to find out about what was behind the purple curtain, and to her surprise it was the animatronic named Foxy, who was broken and could no longer work. She was a little disappointed, seeing as she was kind of curious about the fox and what he did.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa885mqV6Mo
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhqe5KQHDF
“What a wonderful sight.” She heard the voice say as she looked up. She saw Vincent looking down at her with that flirtatious smirk of his, and she shivered at the compliment. She needed a way out of this before it got out of hand again.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEQkKUrNKM
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjEVNSAabN
“…How are you?” she asked. He shrugged his shoulders and told her he had work in a bit, but would’ve happily let Mike do all the work if they wanted to go and hang out elsewhere. She gave him a strained smile. “Sorry. I have the next two days off and… I’m driving out of town. To visit family.”335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUTWrPjE0l
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbPLKkuTMd
They both knew it was an outright lie, but Mai had to think of a way to leave. She didn’t really think of him as a bad guy, but his lack of personal space and flirtatious manner made her feel cautious around him. He clearly didn’t care about the fact that she had a boyfriend and that bothered her to no end. Maybe she could visit her family, but she didn’t want it to seem like she was needy even though she missed them. Thinking of them started making her a bit sad, but soon enough she felt two strong hands grasp her shoulders, and she looked up to see Vincent smirking down at her.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35LnCnUM1g
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEJiHfvaQ6
“C’mon, you can see them some other time,” he said as he got closer. Mai’s breath hitched as his lips came close to hers—she pushed away.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfxRAOThNF
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m0OApvYCm
“I have a boyfriend!” she sternly told him. She heard footsteps slowly making their way towards the two, and when she looked behind Vincent she saw Mike staring them with such a glare.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxDCWzfUAQ
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYMbNXm0OL
“She’s not even that pretty. I don’t know why you’re bothering,” he said flatly, which caused Vincent to turn around. The man in purple just chuckled, placing a hand on his hip as he glared at Mike.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeKECafG8f
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdiPLoAZ4A
“Too bad you’re always too angry to know,” he shot back. Mike glared and shook his fist, but Vincent grew bored with the situation and walked inside the restaurant before body checking Mike. He tried his best to let it go—he didn’t want to get fired from hitting some scumbag who wasn’t worth it. Instead, he turned and looked towards Mai, who was a bit surprised at the outcome.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m3CUaTEzy
335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgdlK8SxDC
“You’re always fucking trouble,” he spat. She gasped and furrowed her eyebrows together at him. She had enough of this and decided to walk to her car instead. Mike just watched as she did and wondered why he was bothering with her so much. He was just disgusted with how Vincent liked to have his way with any of the females around, he thought. Either way, he didn’t like his attitude.335Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl0cUKiYWg
