my alarm rang under my pillow that my head was cuddling into, the vibrations and loud ringing noise quickly made me jump out of my sleep, i silenced the alarm and looked at my phone. It was currently 6:45am, jeez i dont remember putting my alarm this early..
Just as i was about to go back to sleep my phone pinged with a notification "e.williams has added you to a groupchat" looking at the notification i was confused until i opened the groupchat to see it was a work chat, i let out a sigh of relief before thinking to myself, she still has my number? i mean i still have hers but i was sure she wouldve deleted mine, i mean she removed me off everything else so keeping my number wasnt very expected.
Also why the fuck is ellie up at this time in the morning i mean yeah obviously she has work but ellie was barely able to make it into a school at 9am.. when she actually came in but- wait why am i thinking about her and this, god she is actually haunting me with her ugly- well shes not ugly but annoying ass face.
i found myself finally rolling out of bed at 7:30am after watching tiktok for awhile to pass some time, quickly i got changed into some grey cargos and a baby blue crop top, i made sure to pick an top that covered my chest especially after the words ellie said to me.
i got breakfast and walked to the cafe listening to my airpods, "meddle about" from chase atlantic was playing and it distracted me from my hell long of a day ahead of me.
i arrived at 8:50 again, walking in putting my apron on i went and cleaned some counters before opening time, ellie arrived at 9 on the dot and i just glanced at her before walking back behind the counter as a customer came in.
"good morning sir what can i get for you?" i say in a enthusiastic tone of voice. The man grinned at me "well arent you just gorgeous how about your number?" . My face slowly turned pale, "no sorry sir but is there anything you would like to order?"
at this point ellie was glaring over at the interaction, the man spoke up and said "you do look so beautiful young lady" as he slowly raised his hand to tuck abit of hair behind my ear but before he could ellie walked over and shoved him "tf do you think your doing!?"
the man was took by suprised and started acting innocent immediately but ellie quickly cut him off "no your being a complete creep and im now asking you to leave the store" anger flowed through ellies veins and her glare darkened at the man.
the man didnt waste any time and quickly speed walked out of the cafe, i stood there abit shocked of what went down infront of me. To my surprise ellie spoke up to me her voice softer than before "are you uh okay?" , i think she could tell how much her question shocked me but i replied not looking to leave an awkward silence,
"yeah im fine.. thank you" i said looking into her eyes as we held intense eye contact. "no problem that guy is a dick hes pulled stuff like that a couple times before and somehow he still has confidence to come in here". i felt abit shocked hearing him do this many times and disgust appeared across my face.. "what a creep"
ellie had chuckled and went back to work leaving me in my thoughts. I just had a conversation with ellie fucking williams. and she stuck up for me!? what the fuck is going on today.
The rest of the day went on fine me and ellie didnt say another word to each other and just got on with our work, maria came to check on me throughout the day and was happy with my progress which made me feel pretty impressed with myself i cant lie.
As i was sitting outside on my break dina texted me:
Dina ❤︎︎
dina: y/n?
dina: you there?
dina: girl answer me
dina: are you dead?
y/n: jeez dina im at work
dina: oh shit sorry!
y/n: its okay im on break but whats up??
dina: sooo theres this party tonight
y/n: no
dina: pleaseeeee itll be great i promise!!
y/n: i have work tomorrow
dina: we will go home at a reasonable time i promise!
y/n: dina i really dunnoooo
dina: ill buy you chocolate
y/n: ... a monster aswell?
dina: yes! i will!
y/n: okay fine
dina: great ill meet you after work! whens your shift end?
y/n: at like 5pm
dina: okay ill see you then
y/n: okay gtg maria is calling me back in.
With that i put away my phone and walked back in going straight to serve the customers waiting in line.
it was 4pm which meant i only had an hour left, and i was doing pretty well with no interaction with ellie. Untill..
"hey y/n" i heard her say behind me, i quickly turned around and looked at her confused on why shes talking to me. "yeah?"
"So you goin to that party tonight?" she said coldly, i didnt know if she was just curious or plotting something on me.
"uh yeah my friend is making me go.." i said nervously
"ill see you there i guess" she said glaring at me,
i couldnt help but feel pressured and abit nervous from her and quickly turned around to calm down my nerves.
Why the fuck was ellie williams. THE ellie williams being nice to me?. she has hated my guts for the past year and ive hated her aswell.
Before i knew it dina was outside the cafe as the clock hit 5pm, i hung my apron up and surprisingly didnt get one flung in my face this time. I said goodbye to maria as she locked up and glanced at ellie giving her a light smile, i seen her immediately turn her head away but glance back at me giving the smallest smile ive seen on her face in a long time.
"y/n!!!" dina said as she hugged me, i wrapped my arms around her and smiled.
"are you excited!" she said in a hyper mood, i just looked at her feeling abit tired but i brightened my mood just so she didnt feel guilty for dragging me here.
"yeah cant wait" i replied but it came out abit more sarcastic than i had planned but dina just chuckled as she grabbed my hand dragging me up the street with her to walk to her house.
sorry for the shorter chapter but i literally am so tired its not even funny so this is sorta rushed, sorry if there's spelling or grammar mistakes because i was also on ft while typing this so talking while typing wasnt exactly the ideal situation...
