The raindrops made tapping sounds. It was another raining day and Wendy was angry with me for no reason,I was humming a Scottish lulaby while chopping the onions.
Wendy came in jamming the door behind her. She was with a bag of chillies which she dropped on my table
"Better chop those chillies well,"she said washing her hands in a nearby sink. I watched her when she wiped her hands on her apron.
She came back to me and took a chopping board.
"Let me handle onions,"she said. "Just handle the chillies,"she implied further.
We switched positions.
She worked with a serious minded face. Robyn was going to be here any minute. I prayed silently for her footsteps or even to quicken.
Wendy was quite different from Robyn. She is bossy and over serious while Robyn was more fun to be with but a flirty type. Both are my friends and I'm proud of them.
"Boss is complaining". She said.
"So................"
"He says we are losing customers,"Wendy said. Her look was accusing.
"What does that mean? I said getting ready to fume.
"It means,that we are not focusing on our jobs,"Wendy said.
"Please,personal pronoun here! We have an English teacher in school,and we have been taught personal pronoun so say you are not focusing,"I fired
"What's the meaning of you?" She fired back.
I gave no reply.
"Are you trying to say I'm not focusing when you are dreaming chef dreams, instead of working," She said stopping her work.
"Wendy it's enough".
"It can't be enough,we could get fired
"Fired for What?"
"Fired,because of you and Robyn."
The door drew opened and drew out attentions.
"What's the fighting all about?"Asked Robyn.
I said nothing and slumped into the kitchen chair.
Robyn took my place. She noticed Wendy was fuming although she was chopping carrots now.
After some silence.
"How was work," I asked.
"Work was great," she answered. "Oh gosh the chillies are hot."
"How was your date with Tom." I asked to clear Wendy from taglto.
"Fine,nothing much," she said
I noticed her changed
************
It was another different day in Grandville. We had to walk all the way to Ever Grand High School.
Mom had gave me a few bucks to buy groceries while coming back from school.
The school gate was wide open I quivered as I entered the school horrible day facing Derek and her friends.
"We are here people!" Robyn said heaving a sigh.
"Maybe our luck's gonna change for good this year, " I said.
The hallway was as usual filled with many students grouping some chattering to themselves.
"Patches," a boy said laughing. I knew he was talking to me. I just patched up my uniform yesterday. I wished all this would go away.
"Patches," another perso said. I gave no reply as I walked alongside with Wendy and Robyn.
"They are talking to you Autumn." Robyn said as I knew she was ready to pick up a fight.
"I know,---------- and please Robyn don't fight," I said.
I couldn't wait to get to class at least the teasing would reduce when I pretend to be asleep.
We were already in class and my problem went from ugly to uglier. The sweethearts were in class.
"Oh I see you patched up again," Chyna said.
They laughed.
"No seriously the patches have different designs" Chyna said. Her catluae eyes read amusement in the vibrant green of her eyes.
"Oh," I blurted out.
More laughter.
"I can see you have more things to do than listening to my blabbing," I said.
"No,No,No,No,No,No." She said putting her hands around me and wiped them on the table afterwards."No I don't. Why don't you just patch up things and give us one of your cooking cafe.
"She want!" Robyn said as her eyes were dark with rage.
Chyna was shocked a bit but smiled. " Oh, I see." She said "you want to save your friend."
Robyn was already gritting her teeth and clenching her fist.
"You think you can bully us into giving you our recipe," Robyn said.
"I don't think I can always do," Chyna said with her voice calm as ever.
Robyn was glaring at Wendy her eyes told something angry.
"All your bossy and sassy attitude ends with them right." She turned to me "And you Autumn, you always obey Wendy and these bitches learn to standout for yourself"
"Robyn_ _ _."
"Let's go !" She said cutting me short.
For the first time the classic was quick when I was Around chyna was furious I could tell her look
