work love

THREE

Getting through the school day was honestly a hassle. With all my teachers setting deadlines for midterms I was overwhelmed but nothing I haven't gone through before. Besides it's my last year and I already have all my credits so I really didn't need to listen but I needed something to take my mind off of my new Job. Which started in a hour.

As soon as I got home I checked the clock and saw it was 1:04 I needed to start getting ready. I walked to my room and put on a black long sleeve shirt with my black work pants which honestly fit me like a glove and hugged all the right places. I also wore my black converse and put my hair up into my claw clip. All I was told by Gianna was wear something comfortable all black.

I decided to do a bit of light makeup in the little time I had left also putting on my contacts. After I was finished I rushed down the stairs and walked to my car turning it on and leaving my house.

I got to the restaurant at one fifty pm. It wasn't too far from my house which is a really good thing. I decided to go in even though it was early because don't employers like that or something? I don't know i've never had a job don't ask me.

Walking in I smelled the perfect Italian restaurant scent and walked towards the hostess a taller black haired girl she looked American but I wasn't too sure. She gave me a slightly dirty look which made me more nervous to talk to her. She spoke first.

"Are u Julia?" she spoke in an unfriendly tone. I replied back in the same tone giving her the same attitude "No i'm Juliet." she looked slightly taken aback at the fact I gave her the same energy. She continued with a "Follow me." and took me to the back of the restaurant by the bar.

I was then greeted by Gianna in a cheerful voice "Juliet you made it! Come here follow me my son will be training you today. He's also a manager so he'll be making sure everything is done correctly." she said with a smile. She led me to the kitchen.

"Nico! Vieni qui. She's the new trainee" Gianna spoke in an assertive tone. The tall brown haired boy with tattoos peaking behind his long sleeved black button up turned around. He looked right at me staring me up and down slowly making me self conscious.

"Ahem Nico this is Juliet she's the new worker. I told you earlier you'll be training her. Be nice." she says before she gives me a smile and goes back to the front of the restaurant.

Me and him look at each-other awkwardly for a bit until he decided to finally speak up "Just pay attention to whatever I do." he said with an attitude. It took me aback because I didn't even say anything to make him upset or mad.

If he's already upset without as much as a sneeze from me then this was gonna be a really long shift.

It was five hours into what seemed to be the most stressful day of my life. He was moving too fast for me to even comprehend what he was doing. Taking orders, sending the orders into the kitchen, and bringing them out to the costumers would seem like an easy task but with Nico being the one to show me it's definitely not.

He would just walk so fast to the point I looked like a dog running behind him. He was really tall so a bit understandable but still. I was out of breath trying to catch up so I just stopped for a second to catch my breath.

He looked back and said "What are you doing?" I replied hesitantly "Just need a little time to catch my breath" he stopped fully and just stood there watching me as I tried to take deep breathes.

"Are you done?" he says in a passive aggressive tone. I breathe out and nod my head. He turns around and starts heading back to whatever he was doing before.

"You can go on break" Nico said turning around to face me after we had entered a new tables order. I murmur "Okay." and start to head to the back of the kitchen where the break room was.

My break was 15 minutes long , not much time to eat anything so i'll just relax and scroll through my tiktok's.

Once I entered the break room i spot one of my coworkers that I honestly haven't gotten a good look at this whole shift since Nico had been racing through the whole restaurant all night. I noticed he was a blond attractive guy with a nose ring. Golden retriever I instantly thought.

"Hey your Juliet right?" he says catching me by surprise by the fact he's talking to me. "Yes hi" I finally managed to spit out after looking at for a second. He smiles at me and responds "I'm Dylan." I smile back at him "Nice to meet you."

"So todays your first day right?" he says as I go to sit down on one of the chairs in the break room. "Yeah it is."

"I think your doing good especially since your being trained by Nico he's pretty uh fast" he says with a slight laugh. I also let out a small laugh.

"Yeah i've been pretty out of breath all shift but i'm sure Ill get used to it." I say slightly smiling at him.

He smiles back at me. Wow this guy loves making eye contact I swear he's been looking in my eyes this whole entire conversation.

"So how long have you worked here?" I say looking around the room breaking out eye contact.

"Uhm about two years and a half I started when I was 16."

"That's pretty long, how do you like it here?" I reply to him slightly turning my head intrigued with how long he'd been working here.

"It has its ups and downs but honestly it's been pretty good recently. I'm not here as much since I started working at another restaurant nearby." he says truthfully.

"Drama? hmm I wouldn't have thought." I wonder what drama could possibly be happening at this restaurant everyone seems nice well except one and he happened to be training me. Not to call him mean but he was very uhm how do I say this. Not very nice.

"Yeah it's pretty stupid drama but nothing involving me yet." he says slightly smiling.

"I have to get back now nice talking to you Juliet." he says reaching his hand out to give me a dap. Making eye contact and smiling at me slightly the whole time.

Hmm he was cute I thought. As i'm watching him leave I Nico near by the door watching us. Was he watching us the whole time?

That's weird.

***
I get back from my break and go back to Nico. "I'm back." I say.

"Good uh go take table nine and fours orders." he says in a tired tone. I immediately turn around and head towards those tables.

I can't wait for this to end already I think to myself.
