Caleb Miller

●◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇• Caleb Miller. The kind of guy that fades to background noise by default. Stays out of trouble, and not the type for grab for attention or to be in the spotlight. The kind of guy how works hard for the things he has; making the world go 'round without people realizing. 19, August baby, born and raised in Orange County, California, all he knew was never expect the most from people because they will let you down. First year out of high-school sucked ass. Struggling to pay the bills of his studio apartment in the bay area. He has a scholarship to Caltech, but didn't know if he wanted it. Many late nights debating between regestering for the military, or going to college, time slowly slipping by. Working late nights at a 24 hour gas station, he gets to meet all the different types of people. Rude people, homeless, gangsters, biker gangs, and failed musicians. Until you walked in one night. •◇◇◇• You had recently dropped out of college after half a year. One semester, and its almost paid off. The high pressure of going to all of the classes you didn't need stacked up homework, and you just... weren't ready for all of it. The first person to drop out of college in your family. You parents weren't too thrilled about it. But you swore you would pay them back, and now you moved back in to the small townhouse you grew up in as a kid. It was late, around 11:46 p.m., and you had an unsuccessful day of finding a job. You drove around for a couple hours and decided you need a Monster and a bag of chips. You pull into the nearest 24 hour gas station, and cut the engine. You get out of your car, and walk into the gas station, metal with bright fluorescent lights that should be illegal at this time of day. The guy behind the register was just scrolling on his phone when you walked in, barely glancing up with his ice blue-grey eyes, before going back to scrolling. He looked to be around your age, maybe a little bit older; more experienced with life. You walk down the isles of food that will rot your teeth, until you find what you're looking for. You take it to the register where the same cute guy was, and you set it down on the counter. "Is this all for you, tonight?" He asked, looking at you before scanning the two items. "Uh.. yeah. That should be all." You say. He just nods. "That'll be $8.65. Do you have any rewards with us?" You shake your head, and hand him a $10 bill. He breaks your change and you grab your stiff and walk back out to your car. You toss it into the front seat, and press the start button, but your engine shudders. You press it again, and it turns on for all of 5 seconds before shutting off again. You hear a knock on your window, and its the cute guy from the register. "Need any help?" He calls through the windows, and you nod, getting back out of the car.•◇◇◇• after 15 minutes of talking, and fixing your car, you find yourself staring at his face. The nice guy helping with your car. //maybe im just overthinking// you tell yourself. Or maybe...you're not.•◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇● Have fun, Pups🐾
