Nobody to Somebody

Chapter 4: Her Number

After school, I headed to The Late Night Diner to work my shift.

"What up P! How was your first day back?" Adam asked. "Same as everyday."

Adam is a college student who tries to become a relevant rapper. He has an on and off girlfriend who happens to attend at my school. And he has a drinking problem.

I get my uniform on and waited for the people to order their food from the cashier. As I give some customer change, a group of teens came into the restaurant. Kailey and Jack were there of course. Why are they here? They couldn't go to another restaurant to order? They sat down in the middle and started having a conversation really loud, the whole place could hear their ugly laughs like walruses.

"Yo can we get a waiter here? We're starving!"Alex asked.

If your starving, then go home and serve your own food instead of yelling. Jackass.

Adam came to talk. "You should take their orders. It would be great practice for your waiter skills."

I think he wants me to do it cause he doesn't want to see Alex roasting him. That would be great video to post for WorldStar.

I groaned and took the notebook from Adam and went to Alex's table. This wont go well.
"Welcome to The Late Night Diner." I said in a boring tone. "How can I help you this evening?"

The teens laughed except for Kailey and Jack. "Parker?! You work here? Can your life get any better?"

"Alex stop please", said Jack. "Uh can we get something that does not have any carbs or sugar. We have a game tonight."

"Well if you look in the menu, the only order that has that is water", I said.

Jack had a straight face. "That's not funny." I wasn't trying to. "Okay then what else do you guys want?"

"How bout we get a new a waiter cause you're doing your job terrible", said Neveah. If this lazy girl don't sto-

"At least I'm not the one who puts plastic on their face and calls themselves 'cute' ". I wish I didn't say that.

Alex went up from his seat. "Your trying to be funny Parker?"

"I wasn't. I'm not insulting her. I'm just telling the truth."

"The only truth around here is that your nothing compare to us."

"I'm sorry. Who is 'us'? Cause I know dang well that you're supposed to be in college. But here you are hanging around with a bunch of teenagers that aren't even your age. And to tell me that my life can't get any better? How bout you look in a mirror and tell yourself the same question."

Alex held onto the shirt and held his fist up. "You know what Peter I'm am sick of your shi-"

"Okay that's enough!" Kailey yelled. "Alex put him down. I'll order our food."

"That's a great idea Kails. Thank you for stopping me to beat Peters ass."

I went inside the counter. "Nice job P!" Adam said sarcastically.

I rolled my eyes and shook my head with anger.

Kailey came to order the food. After she ordered, her and I had a long conversation.

"I'm sorry what happened over there."
"Yeah its fine. I wasn't hurt."
"You know I talked to Jack about the whole Billy incident. He felt really bad and he wanted to apologize."

No he doesn't.

"He wants to invite you to a house party tomorrow night."

"Isn't tomorrow a Tuesday. Why will there be a party during the week? "

"I guess its because tonight's their first game. I really don't know."

"Can I asked you a question?" I asked. "Do you like going to parties?"

"Honestly, no. They were fun at first. But Jack taking me party to another party is very tiring. Plus when its on a weekday, I have a lot of homework to catch up on."

Their order was ready. I gave her the tray.

A few hours past, they left. I picked up their tray and cleaned the tables.

Who knew they eat like pigs. Their table looks disgusting. As I wipe the table, I saw their receipt. I noticed something on there. It said:

Here's my number: 276 - 800- 5673 text me anytime Kailey♡

Me, myself,  and I jumped up in glee and screamed.

°•♡◇°•♡◇°•♡◇°•♡◇

I drove up to my garage to park and went inside my house. "Hey dad!" I said.

"How are you doing Peter? How was your first day at school?"

"It was fine", i said quickly. So what are we eating for dinner? I asked as I put my stuff in the study room.

"You just came back from a long day and your'e already thinking about food?"

"Hey. I don't mess with my food. Speaking of mess, where's Zeke?

"One, don't talk about your brother like that. And two, he went to see his girlfriend."

Zeke was my older brother who suppose to be in college but drop out to pursue his dream as an painting artist. Hes only 22 years old.

"I'm craving for food. Can we eat pizza for dinner."

"That's too bad. Cause I just order Thai food."

I stopped walking and paused.  

"You know what, Thai food is better. You really know your food."

We did our father-son handshake and I quickly went up my to my room to text somebody.

"Hey Cooper. How are you doing?" I asked as I rub his belly. Cooper was our dog. He's a husky.

I went on my phone and texted the person.
Me: Hi : )
2 minutes later
Kailey ♡: hey

Omg!!! How do you think the conversation is going? Good or bad?
Next chapter coming soon 😊
