Somewhere only we know

Chapter 3: New job!

Author Note
Hi hi! It's me agin! I know I said I would update every Monday and Friday but this chapter took a little longer because of my writers block. I just wanted to tell you that in the story the type of cafe they work at is called a cosplay cafe. Pretty much the waitresses dress in different costumes like maids, princesses, Warriors, brigade leaders, anime characters, etc. Also in this chapter I would like to recognize my best friend Tessa cause I based Skyler off her and you finally get to see some of her dark side! Well any ways see you guys this Friday!

Ambers P.O.V
"What?!?" I yelled "I just met him!" "I was just asking a question Amber, no need to yell." Skyler sighed and pulled out her lunch. A big bento box with lots of rice balls and meat!!! There's a big omelet in the middle and she has several different sauces! I stared at it with wide eyes and drool seeped out of my mouth. "Wow....." She anime sweat dropped and spilt the box in half. "Here I made a little too much last night." She pushed the box in the middle of the table and handed me chopsticks. 'Wow I didn't know you could make Japanese cuisine!' I tried to say but with my mouth full it ended up coming out like "whaw ize diurnt nouw yory colfd malk wapanzzes custine!" She lightly chuckled and offered to make me lunch from now on and of corse I gratefully accepted.
After lunch I thought we were supposed to have class but the teacher just came in grabbed something and said that the class representatives were in charge. Skylar came up to me and sat down by my desk. "So Amber where do you live now?" She questioned curiously. "Oh I rented and apartment just a few blocks away from school." I inwardly sighed thanking God she didn't ask me why I disappeared a few years ago. I looked up at her and I guess I was to far into my thoughts to notice she had a small frown on her face. "Is that place called olden hills?" She asked and I recognized the name. "Yeah that's where I live!" I stated and secretly hoped that she lived there as well. Suddenly she looked a little worried and hesitantly spoke. "Just remember to stay away from apartment 1822.... That's were Asher lives." Wait did she just say Asher?! No way that annoying tomato head lives next door! "But I live in apartment 1821!" I whined. "Ok how about this, if he sees you, you run!" I nodded still a little confused as to why she was so worried about me hanging out with him. "Oh yeah I forgot to ask, Amber do you know your way around town?" I was snapped out of my thoughts when she asked that. I mean I didn't really know where anything was except my apartment and the school. I suddenly realized how long I had taken to answer and I slowly shook my head for no. "Ooooo this means little Amber-chan does not know about the cosplay cafe and she doesn't have a job does she~..." She said in a song-song voice she only uses when she has a devious plan. And as soon as the bell rung I found myself being dragged to some unknown location as she probably put said plan into action.
Skyler's P.O.V
I entered the cafe as my manger welcomed me and Amber looked around curiously. "Welcome! Are you a new costumer or are you here for a job?" Sarah, my manger, questioned Amber with a wide smile. "um.. I..I...ummm..." Was her intelligent answer. "She's with me." I said. As soon as she herd my voice she looked over at me and dropped her smile. "Oh skyler,......Your late!" She scolded. "Is this girl here for a job." She sighed and looked back over to Amber. "If you approve her she is." She looked Amber up and down then circled around her. "Yep she'll do nicely!" As soon those words escaped her mouth we both smirked evilly and grabbed Amber by her writs.
Amber's P.O.V
They looked at me and smirked evilly before grabbing my wrists and dragging me to a room. I saw a glint in their eyes as they striped me down and forced me into a maid uniform(pic). They put my hair in pigtails and made me wear heels. "Alright! Now I want you to go take that guys order." Skyler said pointing to a table and pushing me forward. I soon stumbled over there and the guy looked up. He was a 18ish looking guy with black hair and blue eyes. He smirked at me and I subconsciously pulled my dress skirt down as to cover me more.
"I think I'll take a strawberry parfait and your number please." He said as if it was the most causal thing in the world. "Ok sir I'll be right back" I said with a smile as I thought about all of the horrible things I could do to his food. "Well done Amber!" Skyler called with a happy yet surprised tone. "That guy was a real creep!" Her boss called. "Well here is his parfait and the number of my dad." Skyler giggled as I remembered the bulky man with tattoos from my childhood. I walked over to the man and handed him his food and the number then walked off and returned to the boss. "Alright Amber now I will explain how this cafe works. You will report here everyday after school. Once you get here you will go to the back and a rack of costumes will be hung up for you to choose. After you change into it you will wait in front of the door until a new costumer walks in. When they do you will need to use the greeting card inside the costume. They each say different things, like the maids card will tell you to say 'welcome master' or the brigade leader's card will tell you to say 'your late!'. Occasionally There will be another waitress waiting with you, when that happens the costumer will choose between you. Get it?" I nodded slowly still taking in how much she had said. Man she can talk fast! "Now go wait for another costumer to come in. Today you will say 'welcome master and bow." Those were her last words before she pushed me to the front of the door. I waited about 2 minutes or so before a certain red head came in. "AMBER?!?!" Asher yelled. I wanted to run and hide from embarrassment but Skyler shot me a 'don't-screw-this-up' glare and I hesitantly bowed. "W-we-welcome M-ma-mas-master." I managed to say with a blush in my face. At this he smirked and I showed him to his table...
