The Write Thing

Chapter 4

I'd took it to myself that I had to become independent now. It's not a choice, it's a must. I don't have anyone to depend on to now. I decided to left my hometown and pursue my dreams. But look how it turns out and what I'm doing now. I just get back serving people again. The only thing is that it would all takes upon on me. I'm not working for my parents anymore. I'm working for myself now, and that's a pain.

It's been two days since I started my first job in the city. It's no different from my work back home except that it's only me and Bea who had to deal with different people every single day. I was used of having the same customers we had back home and that's far from here. But I don't mind. This diner is pretty popular, which is a good thing. The only difference is that they offer deliveries around the area.

Now I can't blame Bea why she's looking exhausted back then when she and Charlie was the only one who have to deal with everything.

My work starts at nine in the morning but decided to leave my apartment earlier for today. Not just because I don't have my own service or I'm saving money than grab myself a cab, but because I want to familiarize my surroundings, not wanting to get lost.

As I wonder around the street I paused when I saw a billboard.

"Petals for Archers." I read the name before looking at the guys in the picture. There are four guys in the frame. I don't know if it's just me or I feel like I've seen them somewhere else. I just can't remember when and where.

I attempt to look at it a lot more closely when someone honked at me from behind making me jump a little.

I turn and watched how the window rolled down before a guy with brown hair appeared. He lean forward against his window as an annoying smirk tugged on his lips.

"The road's pretty wide. You're free to lay on it if you like." Sarcasm evident on his voice, making my eyes squint into slits.

"Sorry?"

"Apology accepted." The smile he had on his lips stretched wider, and I take a little pause just so I can catch up this guy and his annoying presence.

"What the—?" I was unable to say finish my words when he drives off without letting me say anything else, and I was left with my mouth swung open.

And just like that, my mood gets ruined. I was just starting my day and that guy really had a good job annoying me.

Is that really what people here all like?

.

"You don't look okay." Our manager, Charlie, told me soon as I entered the diner. We have no customers yet and that makes him do all the work. "It's only your first week. Starting to regret of choosing to work here?"

I really don't get why people are so good making sarcasm turns into something. I've only been working here for three days now and I already get along with Charlie just like how I'm able to get along with Bea. As if there's anyone else in this place I could talk to except Bea. He just don't look like someone who owns and manage a business but he do makes a good job. He only looks serious and intimidating at first but he's really nice.

"What if I am?" I drawled with blank face and he laughed.

"Well, I guess you really would be." He said as he placed a box of pizza. "We have our first delivery for today." The smile he had on his face was really annoying that for a moment I would want to forget he owns this place and I work for him.

"This early?" I looked down on my wrist watch which clearly indicates 9:30 A.M.

Just who the heck would order a pizza this early.
