Star * Heart

Chapter 17

Somehow.. I feel like..I was being watched

The next day, we woke up early in the morning and got ready for our part time job. We were seperated by tasks and shift. In the morning, I was in charge of the Beach Cafe with Zaeim, Tod, One, Rena, Goo and Nash. The others, Harry, Muaz, Fira, Shila and Ash went to work as the promoter at the beach. They need to scout customers and promote Uncle Osin's Beach Cafe and Resort. I bet they're having fun. I was wondering about it alone when I got another order coming from Rena, the waitress of the cafe. She smirked. I looked at her in curious. 'what?' I asked. She glances toward a direction, I did too. From the back of the counter, I saw Harry laughing with few girls outside the cafe. 'hurmm..he got fans' I said. Rena grins. 'feeling odd?' she was asking whether I might feel jealous. I glares at her. 'well, he can only use his figure to attract customers. It's good, right?' I said laughing. Rena sighed. 'I agree with Sheira. Harry got the looks. It's better to boast about it in the public' said One who was listening to the conversation as well. We laughed.

'One?' a female customer came. I glances at her and saw both her and One are having a long eye-contact session. One looks surprises, somehow. Rena elbowed me asking me to butt in. Personal or not, the girl is our customer. 'what? you're the waitress' I told Rena. She sighed. 'hey, she came to order at the counter, right? Go' said Rena. 'okay, okay' I obeyed her and went near One who was still silent.

'hey, you want to order?' I asked the girl. She turns to me after a few second of silent too. 'y-yes' she said. Her eyes are not fixed. She was worrying about something. I take a glances at One and smiles. 'hey' I called out for him. He glances at me and said 'I'll be at the back' he said before leaving the counter and head to the kitchen. I sighed. I stares at the girl in front of the counter facing me, her eyes are following One. 'your order?' I asked her again. 'oh, sorry. One Set B, please' she said smiling. 'she got a nice smile' i said to myself. 'u-urm. Excuse me, are you..his girlfriend?' she asked me suddenly. I almost spilled her coffee because of that. I turn to her and quickly shakes my head. 'no, he's a friend I just made' I told her being honest. She smiles. 'I see. Sorry, for asking about this nonsense suddenly' she said again. After she got her order and paid, she smiles again and left. I gaze at One who was watching her leaving and went to him after I asked Goo to take over the counter.

'hey, someone you knew?' I asked One about the girl. He turns to be. He's blushing. 'ah-hah' I said and laughed. I left him. 'w-whatt?!' he followed me. 'guys, I'm taking a short break at the back' I said leaving the cafe from the back door with a glass of orange juice. One followed me. 'Sheira...' he pressed his voice tone after he closed the back door making sure no one else followed. 'what?' I asked him. I giggles after noticing he was bright red. 'you like her..dont you?' I asked him. 'who?!' he asked in sync of my question. I laughed. 'dude! what guy panic?' I said to him. He sighed. 'okay, take a deep breath..exhale..calm down, dude' I said to him. For a guy to be embarrassed, he's cute. 'she..ehem..' he paused. He sat down on in 'duckling' position and sighed. 'someone from my high school' he added. 'oh, your crush' I said. 'yea...' he froze after he noticed what I just said. He glares at me. He got up on his feat and hit my head. 'oii! what guy hit a girl?' I was mad. 'what girl mocked a guy?' he said. both of us went silent. 'sorry, just..dont tell anyone' he said. I smiles. 'no probs..' I said, getting myself to walk away. 'anyway, if you need any advice or opinion, come to momma' I said while opening my both arms toward him. He laughed. 'you're really interesting..no wonder he likes you' he whispered. 'huh?' I asked. 'nothing' he said.

IN the evening, it's time to switch the shift. I am pretty excited since I can finally go out from the Cafe and enjoy the ocean breeze. Althou, I might tanned myself. OMG! Sunblocks! While I was being over-hyper all by myself, Rena pulled me heading to the beach. 'let's go' she said. Before we can go further, One came along. 'hey, Rena. Is it possible if Sheira and me go together?' he asked. Both of us turn toward him and looked at each other. 'sure..' said Rena unwillingly. We said 'goodbyes' and head to the opposite direction of Rena. She went with Tod and Goo.

'what's wrong?' I asked One. 'it's nothing' he said. I stares at him. 'are you doing this on purpose?' I asked. 'what?' he asked me back. I did my pokerface and started looking around. 'is she here?! Are you trying to make her jealous?' I said. One knocked my head without a single second from my words. argh! You!' I said holding in my patient. 'Rossy' he said manage to silent me. 'huh?' I stopped my hand from hitting him. 'her name is Rossy' he said again. I smirked. 'I have no idea that you likes flowers, One. Rose flower to be exact' I mocked him. He glares at me. 'revenge' I said regarding of what he did to my beloved head.

While we were doing our job, 'ohh' someone knocked my head again. I turned around being angry. 'oh, Harry!' said One toward the person who knocked my head. I glares at him, non-stop. Yup, aren;t stopping. 'ya know, if you knock her head, she might shrink' said One. My glares averted to One. 'oh, I forgot that she is the Super Mario' Harry laughed. The glares returned to Harry. Both of the boys went silence. I walk away thinking, they think they can bully me!?

'Sheira...' Harry called for me. I ignored him.

'hey, Sheira..' he called again. Yup, I'm ignoring him guy. I am.

'heyyyy~' He manage to grab my hand.

'what, potter?' I asked him. Potter? Get it? Harry + Potter... I didn;t turn back facing him.

'sorry' he said.

His voice...was very sweet and gentle.
