HOW EXCITING

So in the last few chapters coming up, well see a bit of wrapping up, basically, and chapter 50 will be an epilogue. So we have two chapters after this one, then an epilogue. I'm very excited to be finished Whispers ^~^

So in the last chapter Laehal was going to his new school and Pomrey quit her job working for Saia. This time we're back with both Pomrey and Laehal—one at school, the other searching for a job.

As soon as he had walked into the classroom, all eyes were on him.

The weird kid who showed up halfway through the school year.

He awkwardly sat in one of the front seats. Surprisingly there were quite a few open seats, but since he knew the teacher would call him up to introduce himself, he just sat in one of the front seats. Teriaj came into the room just after, and sat behind Laehal.

About five minutes later, a tall man in a black suit walked into the classroom, and put his books on the desk. The bell rang, and all chatter in the room subsided—much to Laehal's confusion, as he hadn't noticed the people start to speak again.

"Alright class," said the teacher, "we have a couple new students today. L...?" A look of confusion crossed his face as he attempted to read Laehal's name.

Laehal stood up. "It's Laehal."

"Mm. Laehal. And—"

"Teriaj," Teriaj said, with a small wave of his hand.

"Laehal and Teriaj. Wonderful. Now we'll get on with our class, if you would sit down, Laehal."

Laehal sat down. It wouldn't be too bad here, although the teacher reminded him of someone....

She had driven into town to search for places that were hiring. Pomrey was searching for a job. She didn't need something that was too complicated. She was thinking of working at a restaurant or something.

There weren't very many stores that had a 'help wanted' sign on the door or in the window, but one caught her eye.

The sign for the restaurant was in big, neon red, swirly letters, spelling out 'Papa's Eroni and Spice' and it was over a double door that looked as if it would slide open.

Fancy, she thought. She parked her car near the restaurant and went inside. I was an Italian restaurant, with a darker lighting and a whole ton of tables. There was a queue in front of her of people who were waiting to be seated. A dark red, velvet ribbon separated them from the people already seated. A young woman was seating the customers group by group, while a young man who was about Pomrey's age handed them menus.

Once she got to the front of the line, the woman greeted her.

"Table for one? Or do you have a reservation?"

"Actually, I was here looking for a job."

"Oh! Wonderful! Matthew, come over here and get her set up!"

"You mean I got the job? Already?"

"Well, yes. We're desperate from employees. We can't just reject you, so we might as well just take you. Now, I need to seat customers. Matthew will give you some training." The woman then pulled Pomrey behind the desk, and smiled at the family behind her.

The young man walked over and shook her hand. "Thanks. I'll show you around, and then you can pass around menus while I take orders, okay?"

"Sure," she replied. He quickly showed her the kitchen, around the tables, and in the back, then shoved a pile of menus into her hands and was off, holding a small notebook and pen.

She walked around behind Matthew, collecting up the menus after they had been used, and also after the woman, handing the new customers menus. The flow of people died down, and soon the restaurant was full of people eating. Pomrey went back to the desk and wiped her forehead.

"Tiring, huh?"

"Yeah. A lot of walking around in circles."

"I try to make it that way. Then you know which table you're going to next." The woman winked at Pomrey.

"That makes sense."

Matthew arrived with three cups of icey water.

"Oh I--"

"On the house for employees, and customers. Water's free."

She took one of the cups and sipped the water. "Wow, that's cold."

Matthew and the woman laughed. "Of course it is," Matthew said.

"So," said the woman abruptly, "what's your name?"

"Pomrey."

"I'm Anita."

Pomrey shook Anita's hand, then they all got back to work.

So Pomrey got a job at Papa's Eronii and Spice!

Laehal settled into his new school!

Everything is going great ^~^
