Evie has had some hard times in life but she always managed to get through it, and all is going well when someone unexpectedly turns her whole world around.

    Evie just started her job at Russell's marina grill in new orleans and so far it is the nicest food industry job she has ever had. Pavlos and Kellie love her, and her and Kellie get along and bond over baking and talking about nature.
Evie has been working at the restaurant for almost 8 months now, it is July and she started the job three days after her birthday.  She thought of it as a birthday wish come true since she had been looking for a job for three months prior. This job keeps Evie busy in the summer since she is about to graduate college and is saving up as much money as she can.

Right when the lunch rush ends and it is quiet for the first time in four hours four men walk in the grill. She contemplated going to the back and hiding and making the other waitress take their order but she looked around and didnt see her in sight " she beat me to it" Evie mumbled. Just as the men sat down only moments later Evie popped up " how can i help you guys today"? she chirped now feeling a rush of energy since she gets off in two hours on the dot as of 5 oclock. " can we have a minute please maam" said the man with a roach tattoo on his arm. "oh yes sir ill be back in a bit to check up and get those drink orders" after Evie said that she walked to the back where she thought what she was going to do when she went home " should i take a bath and then read or should i go shopping and then take a shower"? she thought to herself.

Evie came back to the table where the man with the roach tattoo and his friends sat and asked for their drink order " hello are we ready to order drinks yet"? said Evie. " yes i will have a coke" said a man with blonde hair and a camera " yes sir one coke" Evie replied " i will have a dr pepper " a seemingly younger man with shorter dark hair, mustache and glasses said "i will have a sprite" said a man with lighter brown curly hair and interesting tear drops tattooed underneath his eye " and i will have a diet coke" said the man with a roach tattoo and gauges in his ears. " okay those drinks will be right out for yall" " thank you" said the man with face tattoos as Evie walked away.

As Evie walked away she heard the guy with the roach tattoo whispering to the guy across from him with the face tattoos " bro shes really cute" and he earned a "bro shut the fuck up dork" back. Evie giggled as she thought that was the most played out thing dudes say and she didnt think anything of it. Evie came out with their drinks and made sure everyone was satisfied and if they had made up their minds as to what they wanted to eat. " here you guys go" as she passed out the drinks.
"have we made up our minds yet"? she questioned. " yes can i get a shrimp po boy" " and can we get some fried pickles also" said the guy with face tattoos.

Evie nodded as she turned her head to the person. " what can i get for you"? she asked " yes can i get a club sandwich please"? said the younger looking guy " yes sir" Evie replied and looked up at the guy with blonde hair. " um can i get the chicken fried steak" " yes sir that comes with country gravy are you okay with that"? she asked " oh yeah im okay with that" she finished scribbling it down and looked up at the last guy to get his order and he was already staring at her.

" yes sir what can i get for you"? " uhm yeah can i please get the ruby special" " yes sir and what shake would you like with that"? " can i get a strawberry shake" " yes sir you may, is that all for you guys"? " we might get dessert later but other than that we're okay"  said the guy with face tattoos. " okay great your orders will be out as soon as possible" Evie dismissed herself to walk to the order counter. She noticed out of the corner of her eye the guy with ear gauges kept glancing at her. " Maybe he just seen me around before" Evie thought.
