CASSANDRA POV
“Augh can today move any slower, “ I whine while staring at the ceiling of the cafe. Today was a very empty day no customers no two old ladies
spilling tea to each other nothing.
"you're saying that like yesterday was any better" Grace
chuckled while drying the dishes.
“ I really hate my job I want something exciting something not
this," I say waving my hand around reassuring the café. "Look who's talking you're the one who didn't go to three job interviews," she says placing the cup down. “it’s not my fault the first one I didn't go because it was raining and the second I had an extra shift in the café and the third one…….uhh I don’t remember
but it has to be something very responsible," I say trying to remember the reason ”no it wasn’t it was because you broke your favorite mug and you said that's a bad sign," she says rolling her eyes "well it is I really liked that mug and it is a bad sign," I say defending my weak excuse. I didn’t go because I am too scared to get declined. ”then will you
please go to that job interview that is happening next week you're
not working right away you're just going to train for a couple days and
even if you get declined it will benefit your SV" she says while
drying her hands with a towel " fine" I say huff
"Enough about me how is your business going "I ask. Grace is working on a small business it's that kind of custom acrylic paints that is going so well on the internet and her page is doing really but she still works here so I am not alone in that café and that is very nice of her. “umm it's good someone just ordered a harry potter quote thingy like "always" or something so I am just thinking of something creative you know," she says sitting on one of the stools "that's so cool you know all this sma-…" the phone rang interrupting what I was about to say.
I look down on the screen and see the name….well the nickname “fucker?” grace questioning I put my finger on my lips shushing her I pick “sup Alex” “ohh," she says knowing who is that. “hi peach I just came out of the office early want me to pick you up in the way," Alex says in his normally calm voice. “ yeah sure," I
say "Okay give me ten minutes," he says.
"kay see ya," I say hanging up. "you really need to change the contacts name he is your best friend you know him for over three years," she says. I named him that when we met in a job interview three years ago
because he was rude, that’s what I thought it turns out that is just him with new people we started hanging out and I introduced him to grace and became the clown trio. If you ask me why I didn’t change the contact name because it's a funny memory and I don't mean he is a fucker of course.
"Nah I like this way it's funny," I say going to the back of the café
changing my pink uniform into my clothes
After I am done I heard someone comes in “and where do you
think you’re going” I hear a very familiar voice I whine while
turning around “home, miss Jinkins“ yup my wicked annoying boss
who really like to piss me with tasks. “why is that it’s not time for leaving yet “she says glancing at the clock on the wall it says 2:20 pm “I have half a shift in Wednesday and Saturdays miss Jinkins “ I say “I see well hurry on and leave so the customers
won’t see you in these clothes " she says while turning around
and leaving "yes, miss Jinkins" I say huffing.
Why does she hate me? and what is wrong with my clothes?
I look at the long mirror on the wall. I am wearing a Paige sweater
and a black skirt and white and black converse with white long
socks
"augh whatever, “ I say rolling my eyes and placing my work
clothes in my locker
I get out I see grace serving a customer
Achoo!
A sneezing sound came from my phone. yes. that’s my notifications
sound. I quickly reach to my phone muting it both the customer and
grace turn I stand there like a deer in headlights “bless you ?" "oh
yeah thanks," I say while I quickly try to get out of the café I wave
at grace and open the door
I stand outside cursing at my stupidness. I grab my phone to see
who texted me and it’s Alex saying he is almost there I sigh I look
around watching people walking going to places thinking maybe
their life is better than mine maybe it’s more exciting
My phone rings. wow second phone call of the day who will it be I
think.
I look at the contact number name and it’s my mom why did I thought it was going to be someone else I don’t even know anyone. "Hi mom," I say bringing the phone to my ear “Hey honey how are you?" she says " I am good mom I am just leaving work and heading home” “and you call working in a café in the middle of
nowhere a job” “mom please I am tired from work I don’t wanna
do this and it’s not in the middle of nowhere it’s in California”
“what do you mean by that you have a goddamn college degree that can get you a better job," she says sounding pissed " I know mom," I say and I notice Alex's black jeep.
Huh he got here fast.
"Cassandra Chapman, are you listening to me "my mom's voice
ring in my ear “ huh oh yeah yeah mom I am," I say while crossing
the street heading to Alex “you know what mom I am looking for
a better job” “you are?” “yup and I have an interview next week, happy?” I say.
I stop at the door of the jeep and I think it's the wrong car did he
deep clean it or something it’s very clean I think but then I notice
the arctic monkey band sticker on the back of it. Yeah that has to
be Alex “look mom I gotta go okay love ya”I say while grabbing
the door open push myself into the car “love you too honey” she
says and I hang up toss the phone across the back couch “hey, sorry I left you waiting it was mom giving me one of her lectures “ I say
settling down looking through my bag for lip gloss
“uhh, do I know you?”
