"India! Someone needs serving out front!" A voice yells out from outside the staff room. "Coming Gina!" I shout back. I walk out to the main restaurant and walk over to a table where two people have just sat down. "Hi, welcome to pops 'n' rocks diner. Can I get you any drinks?" I ask whilst placing two menus on the table. "I'll have a chocolate milkshake." I grab a notepad and write down '1x choc milkshake' "And I'll have one lemonade." I write down '1x lemonade'. "Will that be all for the drinks?" "Yes, thankyou." "No problem I'll be back with your drinks soon." I walk over to the kitchen and yell "ONE MILKSHAKE PLEASE!" I walk towards the drink dispenser and pour a lemonade. I check my watch '3:45 pm'. Ok just 15 minutes left,then home time. I walk over to the counter where there is a chocolate milkshake and grab it. I walk back over to the table and place the drinks down. "If you want anything to eat or have a problem with the drinks just call me or any of the other staff over." "Thanks, also I don't want to be rude but you don't sound like your from around here." "No I'm from California in the US." "So what's brought you to Queensland? Australia is a bit far don't you think?" "Just needed a new start I guess." "Well how long you been here?" "Maybe a year or two?" "Well, welcome to Australia!" "Thankyou!" I walk off and go back to sit in the staff room. I look on my phone and start to scroll on tiktok. As i scroll I see a tiktok that catches my eye. Its says elvis (2022) movie, my heart skips a best as i find out an elvis film is being released. I look down to read the cast list. Tom Parker: Tom Hanks. Oh my god this has to be a serious movie if Tom is involvedmy all time HERO! Priscilla Presley: Olivia DeJonge I carry on reading and at the bottom it says. 'As Elvis himself: Austin Butler' I recognise the name from somewhere but it doesn't click. I click on the hashtag #elvis2022 and look at the tiktoks when I see a face that makes my heart drop. It was Austin, my Austin. I instantly google 'Elvis 2022 cast' and there once again I see the name Austin Butler with a picture of my austin. I scroll down and my heart drops 'filming is happening in Queensland Australia'. I look at the time and its 4:05 instantly forgetting about Austin i take off my uniform and walk out the diner. I get in my car and call Jasmine. "Hey girl!" I say as she picks up the phone. "Hiya, what time will you be home? I'm at yours." "I'm just getting in the car now." "Ok, well I've just put a pizza in the oven so be quick if you want some." "Shouldn't of told me Jas, you know I will speed for that pizza!" We both laugh "Anyways I'm going to set off now so I wont be long." "Sounds good to me girl." We both hang up and I start driving home.
I park the car in the driveway and walk in. I go to the kitchen and see Jasmine eating a slice of Pizza. "Where is that pizza!" "Over on the counter grab yourself a plate and a few slices." "Okay." I walk over to the cupboard and grab a plate then two slices of pizza. "So babes, how was your day." Jasmine says pulling me out a chair next to her. "Come sit." "Soooo boring, I really need to quit and find a new job, I've been miserable working at that place for almost two years." "Yeah, come work with me! We can both be receptionists together, that is like SO cute." "Yeah that would be so nice, and there is something I need to tell you." I put down my pizza and look her in the eyes. "What is it hunny?" "There is a new Elvis movie coming out." "That's awesome, you have always loved elvis. Why do you look sad?" "Its who's playing Elvis..." "Oh god don't tell me its a shitty actor?" "No, its Austin." "Austin who? I don't know any actors called Austin?" "My Austin, from school." "What? He is playing Elvis?" "Yeah, kinda ruins it don't ya think?" I force a smile and small laugh. "And it is kinda being filmed here in Queensland as we speak." "WHAT?! IMMA GO FIND THAT BOY AND GIVE HIM A PIECE OF MY MIND!" She stands up and starts walking towards the door. "Don't be silly Jas, it was 12 years ago. Im 29 now there is no need to be silly." "He broke your heart babes, you didn't leave your room for 3 weeks straight. He couldn't even say bye to your face." "We were both so young, plus I doubt we are going to run into him at all." "Well, to take your mind off it lets go clubbing tonight. Have some fun." "Sounds great."
I look at the clock '6:30pm' I stand up and go to my closet. I open it and pick out a small black dress and knee high, high heel boots. I curl my hair and do my makeup. I add a small leather jacket on top and I check myself out in the mirror.

I hear jasmine walk down towards my room. "India babes? Its 8:00 are you ready?" "Almost!" I reply whilst spraying hairspray to protect the waves. "Oh my god babes, you look stunning! Your body is seriously to DIE for. Your boobs look so fucking good and WOW YOUR ASS! " She slaps my butt and whistles "Jas hun, so do you! I mean have you seen yourself? BANGING bod." "Well its a ten minute walk to the nearest club so lets hurry."
We stand in line waiting to get in. When it comes to it I get ID'd and allowed in with Jasmine. We walk in hand in hand and we go to the bar. We order vodka shots when a guy walks up and taps Jasmine on the shoulder. "Hey cutie wanna dance?" She turns around to look at me and i nod my head in approval and off she goes. I sit at the bar when I hear a voice I could never forget.
