    ... He grinned before quickly peeling off his apron and heading to the back through the swinging doors. He walked to the lockers before grabbing his bag and jacket from inside. He quickly put the jacket on and tossed the tote over his shoulders before looking into the mirror one last time.
    
    His bright green eyes stared back at him, his pouty lips, thick eyebrows and messy bed hair. He took note of the bags under his eyes, a sign that he was tired.
