Scarlett's POV
I walk into Cooper's Cafe and prepare for my shift. While putting on my pink apron, I hear someone walk through the door and turn around.
"Good morning!" I say while I finish tying my apron.
"I'll have a cappuccino and a blueberry muffin." The customer says without looking up from her phone.
I internally roll my eyes at the customer and prepare the order. Where are her manners? Once I'm done, I ring up the purchases, and she swipes her card on the machine.
I hand the customer her order and say, "Have a good day." She grabs her order and walks out of the cafe. Bitch.
After I served a few more customers, Mrs. Cooper came out of her office and said, "Morning, Scarlett!"
"Good morning Mrs. Cooper," I say, smiling.
"Are you excited to start school on Monday?" She asks.
I groan and say, "No... This summer went by way too fast! But I'm ready for high school to be over."
She laughs and says, "I've hired a new worker to work with you starting Monday..."
"Oh, cool! Who is it?" I ask curiously.
"My grandson moved here a few days ago, and he was looking for a job. So his awesome grandma, aka me, hired him!" She says.
I laugh and say, "How old is he?" Why are you interested?
"I think he's the same age as you... He's also going to Central High School." She says.
"Well, I look forward to working with him next week," I say. Watch him be either an asshole or a horrible coworker.
She smiles and says, "I'm gonna head to the kitchen to start baking the desserts for the afternoon rush."
"Okay!" I say. When Mrs. Cooper leaves, I decide to pull out my AirPods and listen to some music since there's no one to serve.
*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*
I look at the clock, and it shows it's 12:48. This lunch rush better be over soon because I'm starving!
"Hi, what can I get you?" I ask politely.
"Ummm..." The customer says, looking at our menu. Are you fucking kidding me? If you're in line, then you better know what you're fucking ordering! Damn, calm down. I'm fucking hungry.
"I'll have a plain bagel and a bottle of water."
I grab a pair of tongs, grab a bagel, and put it in the paper bag. I hand her the bag and a bottle of water after she pays.
