~chapter 33 - him again~

~your pov.~

"Well that's the end of the interview!" Kawaii~chan finished and she closed a folder that had a few pieces of paper in.

"Thank you." I added simply.

"No problem! Kawaii~chan is going to look through your resume, and you will get the results later before you leave!" She beamed.

"Okay, thanks again." I smiled slightly. I stood up from my seat and left the room.

As I exited the room, I started to notice some of the damage that had been caused by the fire. It had mostly only effected one side of the room, therefore that would have probably been where the fire started. I walked across the room the examine the dark burn marks on the wooden floor.

"Well well well. Didn't expect to see you here." I heard from behind me and I growled at the voice.

"That no way to treat a friend." Gene said and I turned to face him.

"Hey gene..." I managed to say between gritted teeth.

"Hey y/n." He smirked, then a few more people walked in from outside to see me and gene barely inches away from each other.

"Are we disturbing something?" A femal asked and raised an eyebrow at us.

"No, it isn't what you are thinking." I replied quickly and gave her a slight glare, luckily she didn't notice.

"I don't think it would be, who would like gene?" I slightly laughed at her comment and stepped back.

"Gene do you know where kawaii~chan is?" Asked a guy with black hair and deep blue eyes.

"She's in the room across from here." I pointed and he nodded his head in response.

I then noticed another person smirking at me from behind Katelyn, except this wasn't an evil smirk like gene. This was a playfull smirk from Travis.

"Oh hey Travis." I said.

"Hey y/n, we haven't seen each other since... but how have you been? You haven't had any problems settling in your new house have you?" He asked.

"No no, I haven't had any problems, Ruben has been complaining about the toaster we got, however what does he expect? It was a already furbished house so not everything will be perfect." I joked and he slightly laughed.

"Have we met before y/n?" The female asked ,so I decided to take in her appearance. Blue hair. Blue eyes. Her voice. A bit above average height.

"We went the same highschool, I'm sure you remeber her Katelyn." Travis butted in and memories flooded back.

"Katelyn! Now I remeber." I smiled at her ,but she just looked at me.

"What's wrong Katelyn?" Gene slightly teased as he walked passed us all, to exit the cafe.

"Oh right..." I muttered. "Look, my reputation in high school wasn't perfect, but... I hope we can become friends." I said to her and she just slightly nodded.

I would understand if she wouldn't want to be friends... I upset Nicole and Teony so much. They where really close to Katelyn as well...

"Ok.." she quietly replied.

Oh irene, this day is going to be awkward..

~~~

About 10 minutes had past and I had been cleaning the tables, whilst Travis and gene organised them. Katelyn and kawaii~chan had been gathering out shopping to get a few replacements for anything that's was damaged in the fire.

"So when will the girls be back?" I asked the two guys.

"Oh they will probably be back soon, as well as laurnece." Travis replied and gave me a side glance whilst cleaning a table.

"Laurence is with them?" I asked quickly and flustered.

After moving a chair around and dusting it off slightly, he replied. "Yeah he's the one who drove them there. Since he has the biggest car so they can buy more stuff for the cafe."

I rushed a response back "yep! That seems logical." Then I awkwardly laughed. Laurence will probably say something about when I helped him that night..

"What's wrong with you?" Gene spat as he also cleaned a table.

"Nothing! What's wrong with you! Didn't you have any cigarettes left when you got outside!" I barked back.

He got closer to me"Still being blackmailed?" He spat under his breath.

"Still trading hair dye for photos of young girls?" I also spat back under my breath.

"You guys don't need to argue so quietly, I would like to hear your childish rivalry." Travis joked from across the room, afterwards me and gene stopped arguing. We didn't want to risk anyone hearing, it would ruin us both.

~~~

We had finished cleaning and organising chairs, so I had started cleaning the kitchen as best as I could. However, it was obvious a lot of the kitchen needed to replaced.

Gene and Travis had been cleaning the windows, and we had all had some small talk, by shouting across the room. This was mainly me and Travis taking and gene just gave simple replies when he was spoken to.

The door opened revealing the 2 girls holding some boxes and dropping them off near the entrance.

Then walked in Laurence with a larger stack of boxes, which seemed to be heaver since he wasn't holding them as easily.

"Can you guys help get some of the stuff out the car? Some of its heavy so I don't suggest you try to take any gene." Laurence teased and I just stared at him slightly.

"Ha ha, your just so funny aren't you Laurence?" Gene sarcastically told him.

Eveyone slightly chucked except from gene, who followed Travis to grab some stuff from Laurence's car. Laurence placed his boxes on a table futher away form the entrance and I gulped as he spun around.

Our eyes locked ,and we stood in silence for about a minute.

"Hey Laurence.." I stuttered and he looked at me with his dumb suprised face still.

"Y/n?..." He stuttered back.

Out trance ws broke by kawaii~chan jogging back in with some more items and placing them down. I then just quickly followed her and all of us moved boxes into the cafe from Laurence's car.
