The Beauty of the Beast

Schools out !! .....more work

Krissy's POV

"Yes, I would like to order the wheat toast with two sunny side eggs and a coffee."

"Would you like cream or sugar?" I asked.

"No, black is fine " I write down the order.

"Ok, your order will be up shortly"

"Thanks" he nods as I speed walk to the back of the dinner and head to the kitchen.

''ok Sam, we have two sunshine's with a side of dark floats and a muddy mug dark and dirty!" I clip the paper with the order on the board for him to see. 

"Roger! Hey Kris, shouldn't you be on your way to school girl! If you're late, you know I'm going to have to fire-"

"Ha-ha, don't worry Sam, this last order and I'm on my way" I ran around the counter and was on my way to grab another table.

"But sweetie, it's already 7 o'clock" the waitress said as she was putting the drinks on the tray. I turned around and looked at her, shock on my face, I quickly look at my wristwatch to check.

My watch read 6:15 "oh no, my watch is broken. Again." I said in frustration as I wander back and forth wondering what to do.

"go darling, I'll cover your tables" I looked at her then ran up and hugged her with relief.

"Thanks so much Rude! you're the best!" she laughed and hugged me back.

" you better get going "

I stopped hugging her, and ran over and grabbed my bag and my clothes "see! I told you this would happen!"

"bye Sam!" I yelled and out the door I ran, off to school.

Well that right there, is how my mornings start off every day. Work, school, work, homework, work, cleaning the house, and oh ya, more work. That's all my life revolves around and that's all it seems I have time for.

Moms always busy with her boyfriend, and going out to have fun with him, or at her job as well; which starts from 8am to 10pm on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. The rest of the time she's out having fun. But I don't mind, what mom wants to do is fine with me; I just wish that we could have at least one family fun day. Just the two of us.

As I run into the school I try to take off my shirt; now, I know what it sounds like, but no I'm not going to run through the school naked, I have a tank top on. Running to class I try to stick my arm through the sleeve of my jacket, and trying to wipe the sweat from my face, Taking of my skirt and apron I stuffed them into my bag. luckily I had some skin tight shorts on, so that helped with shortening the time to change. When I get into the class I fall to my knees. Gasping for breath.

The teacher comes over and stands over me." you're late to class again Krissy." I looked up at her.

"I-I'm sorry...Mrs. Gibs." she smiled at me and turned around and walked back to her desk.  

"Get to your seat Krissy, your holding up my class." she said sitting down in her chair. I nod my head and get off the floor. I walked to my seat and everyone was watching me. I was very uncomfortable siting in my seat when everyone around me was obviously talking about me being late to class...again and not getting sent to the office...again.

Not only that, being an honor student makes them think I'm getting special treatment from the teachers. But it's not like that. Luckily after today, summer vacation will start and I can concentrate on work, and everyone will forget about this.
