The door bell rings when I step inside the dinner. A few heads turn but most of the people are way too focused on their breakfast coffes to even realize me even if I was standing right in front of them. I slowly make my way through the tables and stop when I'm faced with a doir. I knock three times and wait for a respond.
"So you have to be Blake, am I right." I nod and shake her hand. "Alright Blake, come in. I'm Cameron, I'm the manager here and I'm excited to work with you." I give here a forced smile but I hope she doesn't realize. "So anyways..." Cameron continues and tells me all kinds of stuff about the dinner while giving me a tour through the kitchen.
"So now before we start I want to find out a little bit more about you. How old are you, where are you from, what are you planning to do here?" - " I'm nineteen, I'm from Brazil but I used to live in Switzerland until I moved here recently and I'm here to...to...u..hmmm. I don't really know I guess to live here." She tells me how excited she is to work with me again and than guides me towards a changing room. "So from now on you can just come in here and change into your working cloths, here's the key." - "Thank you." I say and she walks out.
When I'm done changing my clothes I look in the big mirror in front of me. This uniform is actually pretty cute. The black jeans skirt fits me perfectly and the white blouse with the red pocket on it also looks damn cute. I smile. I look like if I were in an american hugh school movie. I take a photo of my outfit and send it to Mike.
Blake: Look at me Mike I'm in an american movie!!! ☺︎
I only know him for two days now but he's pretty much my bestfriend here.
Mike: Omggg ♥︎ ♥︎ ♥︎!!! You look soo good queen!
I laugh, no he is my bestfriend here!
I walk out of the changing room to be faced with Cameron. She looks at me with shook. I nervously start looking up and down, trying to find out what's wrong with me. After a felt minute she starts to giggle.
"You look amazing girl but now stop standing around. So this is how it works. You go to the tables and ask what they want you write it down and pin it on the board in the kitchen. When Will is done with the menu he'll ring the bell and put the note on top so you know who it's for and you bring it to them. Alright?" She asks and I nod overwhelmed by her abilities to talk this fast.
Two hours later
"Hey Blake, wanna spend the break together?" Cameron asks. "Yeahh, I would love to." Vameron smiles and walks out the door and towards the parking lot. She signals me to get into the car and I do. "So Caneron..." I say hoping that she'll continue the conversation but she doesn't. She just looks at me and nids waiting for my question. So I try and figure out a question. "So Blake you are really shy aren't you?"
Cameron's POV
"So Blake you are really shy aren't you?" I ask her. I an see her struggling to answer. "You know what, you don't have to be. I know I'm your boss and all but you don't have to be shy." She pulls her self up in the seat next to mine and manages to pull her knees up to her chest. It looks like she's hugging her knees.
"I am. I really am a shy person but only sometimes. Sometimmes I can make friends really easily and sometimes I can't even get myself to ask the waitress for my check." She breathes out loud and then continues. "I'm sorry. I'm not going to be this shy again, I promise." I just want to tell her that it's alright if she's a little shy but than her phone nlings and she looks at it. I look in her direction and catch myself looking who texted her.
It was a Mike. I wonder if this is her boyfriend. I mean look at her she's a total catch, it would be weird if she didn't. "Is that your boyfriend?" I ask but regret it in the next moment. She probably knows hat I looked on her phone. "No." She says. " He's my Neighbor and currently my bestfriend. He and his boyfriend helped me buy and build up furniture on Saturday. When I arrived." She pauses. This is amazing! She couldn't talk straight sentences before and know... know she's just freely talking. "And yesterdat me and Mike, that's my neighbors name, spent the whole day talking. It was really great and opps...". She starts to giggle. "I'm sorry I'm babbling!"
Blake's POV
We just turned into the parking lot again, as I notice the big sign hanging over the dinners entrance. Dolan's "Hey Cam, what does Dolan's stand for?" I ask. She looks at me with a smile on her face. "It's my last name. I always wanted to have a dinner. I don't really know why, I just think it's cool to give people food and a nice place to eat at. So I thought of the name Dolan's house but this soundet like I was agrandma so I called it Dolan's." She smiles. "I love that name." I say truthfully and her smile widens.

"Hey Blake, is it okay for you to work the night shift? I mean you don't have to but you can of you want." Cam asks while putting the dushes away.
"Till when is the night shift?" - "It's till 4AM tomorrow, but you don't have..." I cut her off telling her that I would love to help even tho it's my first day. "Look if I went home I would just lie on my bed being bored and I really want to help!" She laughs and tells me that I'm the only person who would volunteer to do the nigjt shift.
2AM
"Hello, my name's Blake. What can I bring you?" I ask the guy that just sat down in the binch next to the TV. He looks at me. Stright in my eyes but than looks back to the TV. "Are you knew here?" He asks and i nod inly to realize that he didn't notice cause he's looking at the TV. "Yes." I say. "Ok... so anyways I'll have a coke." - "Anything else?" I ask and he shakes his head.
Not gonna lie that dude was fucking hot, but the way he talked was he mad ir something, I don't know and I honestly don't care. It just seemed so weird.
"Hey, here's your coke. You need anything else?" The guy is still not looking at me and just shakes his head. Asshole. I walk away and walk to the kitcher where Will is standing and handing me two plates with food. "Don't take it personal. The kid talks to no one except his twin and his sister." I take the plates and bring them to the tables.
"Why doesn't he talk to anyone, Will?" - "I don't know, all I know is that he looks at you everytime you walk away." Will says and I tell him to shut up. "Grayson Dolan looked at you."
Dolan.
