"Can I get a Venti size Iced Cinnamon Dolce Latte, a Venti iced water and a Grande Cappuccino with non-fat milk and light sugar please, and that'll be all." says who I'm assuming is a couple.
"Can I get your name please?" I ask the woman who was speaking.
"Yes, Maddie." she answers
"Okay cool that will be $9.89." I reply with a lovely smile.
She hands me a ten dollar bill, while I give her, her receipt and change, and wright the name on the cups.
I go and make the drinks, I'm still kind of new at this but I think I've got it down. I slide up the drinks on the hightop counter and call out the name and place three straws by them.
"Thank you - Valerie." The guy says as he looks down at my name tag while him and his girlfriend take the drinks.
"Oh you're welcome, have a nice day." I reply and take more of the customers orders for the day.
My name is Valerie but a lot of people call me Val, once they get to know me. I- well I'm just your typical California girl, who drives a Range Rover and loves buying clothes, I'm thankful to have what I have and I thank my parents. But I've decided I want to stop depending on them for every thing they do for me, and get a job. I did that, it's nice because I can work with my best friend Lyric. I just turned 18 a month ago. I'm trying to save up for an apartment because living with my parents is just too much, especially when my sister Violet moved to San Fran to go to a university out there. I miss her.
My thoughts were interrupted thinking about the memories with Vi as Lyric was snapping her fingers in my face to get my attention.
"H-huh?" I said removing my hand from under my chin.
"It's time to go Val!" she said taping her watch on her wrist.
"Oh yeah, let me go get my stuff." I said as I was about to walk into the employee lockers. But before I could she stopped me and put her hand on my shoulder.
"I already got it." she said handing me my black strapped shoulder bag. "Now lets go register for this new high school, before it closes!" We're so last minute with this when we had all summer to do it.
I rush to the school and we decided to stay to get our classes instead of coming back tomorrow. Me and Lyric made a decision on going to a different high school for our senior year, the one we were at for our whole three years was so lame and boring. We also had to wear uniforms, which was hell for the both of us.
As me and Lyric sit in the front office to wait for our classes, I decided to listen to music. My music consist of Beyonce, Lana Del, Aaliyah, Ariana, and Ciara. I guess I just like listening to anything pretty much, old or new.
I sit down in the chair cross my legs and hum 'Baby I' to myself by Ariana Grande. As I look over to some kids walking over across the hall as they come closer I stop humming and push pause on my Iphone. I take my earphones out and give them a smile, only a few notice me. They seem like they run this school just by how they were walking when they came up, like they think they're someone, ugh. There was four guys and two girls. One of the guys had big curly brown hair and black jeans and next was a guy with a comb over which I thought was really cute, the other guy was wearing Nike air maxes and had really nice style and the other looked like he played in some sport the way he had a fit body. And I'm guessing those girls are either of their boyfriends. Who knows they look like whores to me by how they're dressed, oh I guess you're never supposed to judge a book by it's cover, well I just did.
"Valerie Brooks, and Lyric Evans." The lady up front called us. We got up and came over.
"Heres's your classes," she said handing over the papers, "They start Monday at 8:00."
