Just A Waitress. A Dino Charge Fanfic

Chapter 1: Past, Present and Fusion

Maddi's POV

Lunchtime. Some people say it's one of the best times of the day. Me. I hate it. Especially since the museum. Sometimes working in that cafe is a nightmare. Two of the boys leave a lot of the work for myself and Shelby to do. I feel like I haven't introduced myself. Hi, my name is Madison but let me start from the beginning. 

It all started 14 billion years ago. Okay, maybe that was a little too far. I was born 16 years ago on Christmas eve. We were a very happy family. Just me, my Mom and my Dad but when I was just 2 years old my Mom passed away and that completely changed my Dad. He became an alcoholic it became so bad that when I was 4 years old the child protective services had to step in. 

I stayed in a group home and was never adopted or anything. That is until I met Shelby in the first grade and when her father found out I was still in a group home he decided to take me in as one of his own. Shelby and I grew up together and we have never been apart. We are both obsessed with archaeology. So when the chance to work at a museum came our way we jumped at the opportunity. Although working in the cafe was not what we had in mind. That and our boss, Kendall Morgan, absolutely hates us. I think if she could she would fire us for breathing. I don't care if she hates me I hate her too. I hate how she talks about really important and exciting Diggs in front of my sister knowing she has always wanted to go on a dig. 

Then there is Koda and Chase. Chase is so annoying: he's constantly late, he flirts with every girl who walks in and he is rude and obnoxious. He doesn't even know my name after working with me and Miss Morgan lets him get away with it. If I was late I would get publicly shamed. But Koda is an absolute sweetheart. He's kind, caring and even though he doesn't understand somethings he tries really hard to do his best.

Speak of the devil Chase is here. How wonderful, you should take note on sarcasm. Looks like they're going on a dig. Shelby's going up to them, here we go again. I better help her to the best of my abilities. We walk over to Chase as he is wheeling his wagon of tools for the dig. He gives us that smirk that I absolutely hate "Hey Sherry. Hey, Maggie got something for me." Well, it's still an improvement from last time when he called me Layla which isn't even close "first of all our name's Shelby and Maddi." Chase just laughs under his breath "why don't we cut to the Chase and catch a movie late?" Ugh, could he be more annoying? Like seriously no girl would fall for that awful one-liner. "Did that line work on girls in New Zealand? Cause they would have to be crazy to even consider going out with you."

Chase gives me a fake offended look as we walk down the corridor of hell. Sorry, I mean the museum. "Or you could let me and Maddi come along with you on a dig?" Chase turns gives us a sincere look and replies "sorry but museum policy." I don't know why we don't get to go with them. Actually, I do, it's because Miss Morgan doesn't want people smarter than her. After all, she knows that myself and Shelby are one million times smarter then she will ever be.

That's when I hear the she-devil herself "and no neither of you can come. Museum policy." I hate her. She's the worst person ever. She turns to me and says "don't you have tables to serve Maddison. I mean you are just a waitress." How the hell does she get away with talking to people like that. Shouldn't you be crushing souls? You are the devil incarnate. I turn to see Chase, Koda and Shelby laughing and Miss Morgan looking offended. "I said that out loud." She just rolls her eyes as she, Koda and Chase get in the car. Shelby turns and whispers "I'm gonna sneak off with them" she the jumps on to the back and hides under the big cloth. Well, that's not gonna end well. I hope she doesn't get fired for this. I better get back to that dumb lunch shift I have.

5 hours later...

It has been five hours and Shelby still hasn't returned. I'm starting to get worried. There are so many possibilities of what could have happened. What if she got crushed by those boxes? What if Miss Morgan found out and fired her? What if she fell off the car? I should go look for her. She could be in trouble. Just as I grab my coat to go and leave I see her, Chase, Koda and two other boys I have never met walking through the door "Shelby. Oh my god, I was so worried about you. Are you okay? What happened? Did she fire you? I swear if anything had happened to you I would have killed Chase and Miss Morgan." Everyone looks at me weirdly "kidding. Anyway who are these two?" I say pointing at the newbies. "That's Riley and that's Tyler. They just started working here." I can guarantee they fell for the same advert Shebly and I did. I turn to the pair and say "welcome to hell where the boss is a nightmare and a certain worker doesn't know your name. Now can you help me tidy up I had to work a shift on my own?" We all make our way over to the bar where I bring over food for everyone.

We sit in silence until Shelby speaks up "hey sis, I get to go on another dig. I am so excited and Tyler and Riley get to come to." I'm so happy for her. What? I really am, I just wish I could get to go with her instead of being stuck here on lunch duty. "Hey, are you okay? You kind of look disappointed." Riley asks. I must have zoned out I don't want my sister to think I'm not happy for her. "What? Oh, I sometimes zone out when I'm in deep thought but if anyone gets to go, Shelby, I'm glad it's you." It wasn't a complete lie I am happy for her but not the boys they just arrived and they already get to go. It's so not fair.

Just as we pull up home Shelby turns to me and says "I'm sorry that you can't come too." She is the best sister ever I don't know what I would do without her by my side. "It's fine. It's not your fault, just promise me not to get your hopes up with it. I don't think I could deal with you getting you heartbroken." She turns to me and says I promise.
