Getting a Job

I woke up to my dad yelling at me to get up. He is really upset with me. The thing I wonder is, how long is it going to last? 

Dad: "They let you off with a warning. They're fining you though."

Me: "CRUD! How are we gonna get that money?"

Dad: "We? Kate your doing this on your own. You made the mistake you pay. Get a job that's how I make money."

Me: "UUUGGHHH!!!"

Dad walked out of my room not saying another word. I got dressed then headed out looking for jobs. I passed many open things but no one would really hire me because I didn't have experience. Justice wouldn't even take me!

I finally got to the last one. It was a frozen yogurt shop called FROYO POLO. What would froyo have to do with a sport that deals with horses?

I walked in and it had pictures of horses and people eating frozen yogurt. The employees were wearing polo shirts, pants, shoes, etc. To my surprise someone I knew actually worked there.

I tapped on the back of a tall teenage boys back. 

Me: "Hi I was looking for the manager."

Tall teenage boy: "Hi welcome to... Oh hi Kate."

Me: "Hey I didn't know you worked here."

Cameron: "You never asked."

Me: "Oh.. anyway I was wondering where the manager is?"

Cameron: "That would be me."

Me: "I would like to apply for a job."

Cameron: "Do you have any experience?"

Me: "No."

Cameron: "You're hired."

Me: "What?"

Cameron: "I trust you and were desperate."

Me: "Okay. When do I start?"

Cameron: "Now."

I grabbed an apron and some gloves and Cameron explained what I had to do.  My job was really easy actually. All I had to do was take peoples orders and put it in the computer thing. It was going really well. I was really liking it. 

After I would put the orders in Cameron would get them ready and hand it to them. I don't know why he was short handed this is the best job ever. 

It was actually going really well. Even though it's only the first day

Cameron and I even became closer friends since the police thing. Sometimes I catch him looking at me, but I don't know why he does. I mean do I have something on my face? Am I doing something wrong? Maybe he likes me? Does he like me? The past few days have been great, the thing is do I like him?

Today he asked me a question. 

Cameron: "Kate?"

Me: "Yes?"

Cameron: "Do you like this job?"

Me: "Yeah of course."

Cameron: "Good 'cause I like having you here. You've been doing really well. Even though it's only your first day"

Me: "Thanks."

I started blushing a little.

Cameron: "So do you know what school your going to yet?"

Me: "No, why?"

Cameron: "Because, well I know that Max, Janet, and you have some bad blood but I would really like it if you went to our school, and you can hang with me."

Me: "Okay. What school is it?"

Cameron: "Woodrow Wilson, I'm gonna be a senior this year."

Me: "Me too. Okay. I'll ask my mom."

I walked away and back to the cash register. I thought to myself. Okay I'm pretty sure he likes me, but how do I know for sure. How do I know if I like him for sure?
