Chapter 11.

A/N this is probably a boring chapter. but I gotta get some filler chapters. I don't want it to be all drama filled, just yet.

Zoey's POV

Today was just a weird first day of school. I liked meeting new people, it's always great. The part where everyone knows who I am is what made things a little weird. And that Irwin kid, what the hell is his problem? Why is he always so rude and mean? It's like he hates the whole damn world and I don't know why. Just because he may hate the world doesn't mean he needs to put out his pissy attitude towards everyone in the world.

After 5th period, I didn't have to see him, thankfully. The rest of the school day was spent with Cope in Science and Spanish. I tried to focus my mind on school and other things but I just could not get Ashton out of my mind. He's incredibly handsome, but I don't like him. It's nothing like that. I want to get to know him. On a personal level. I want to know why he acts so damn rude to everyone. I want to know why he doesn't give a crap about school. I want to know why he doesn't care about anything really, or so it seems. I'd also really like to know why he smokes and drinks.. I know that's suppose to be the "cool" thing now. But it isn't and I want to know why he does it. Most importantly I want to know why the hell he seems to hate me so much. I've never even talked to the kid and he already acts like he hates me. But why? I'm really interested in this kid, but at the same time I want nothing to do with him.

My shift at work starts in about 10 minutes and I'm here a little early. I'm going to try to get my mind off alot of things as I work. This isn't my first day at this place. I worked a little bit over the summer. But I didn't need my mind to be filled with stupid crap while I work. It would distract me from doing my job. I decided I would sign in early for today and put on my appron.

"Hey Ms. Zoey. Nice to see you today. It's been a while, or so it seems." The voice said behind me causing me to jump a little. I realized it was just my boss and my goosebumps went down a little bit.

"Oh, hey boss. You scared me. What do you want me to do today?" At this burger place, I do basically everything. But everytime I'm here it's always something different. I'm either serving people, cleaning dishes, making food, taking orders, cleaning the tables, etc. I personally like serving the people. There's always sweet people that come in and actually have a conversation with you about things other than what's on the menu and where their food is at.

"Oh, today I need you to serve some tables, than clean some tables and clear some space for customers coming in." My boss said pating me on the back and smiled.

I headed towards my first table to see an old couple holding hands. It was the cutest thing I had ever seen. It has always made me so happy to see an old couple out in public. Even though I don't really believe in love, it makes me happy that some people are able to find it and keep it. It makes me really happy that both of those people didn't think about cheating and or hurting the other ones heart. I'm glad it still exist for some people.

"Hi, my name is Zoey. And I'll be taking your order today. I will start off with drinks and appetizers. And give you guys a little time to figure out what you want." I said with a smile on my face. I looked at the old man and my smile caused him to smile which warmed my heart. The old man motioned his hands telling me to come in as if he wanted to tell me something, like a secret.

"Todays our anniversary. It marks 78 years today. I wanna make it as special as possible. Can you help me in anyway? It seems kind of dumb to bring her to a burger joint. But this has been her favorite place since we were teenagers." The cute old man whispered in my ear. I can't believe this couple has been together for 78 years. That's incredible. And pretty damn impressive too. I also couldn't believe this place has been around for so long.
I turned to the old lady sitting in front of him and couldn't help but smile.
