I finally walked to town and was heading to the cafe that just opened up. I wasn't the one who chose to work here, it was my father. He wants me to do more things for ''other people.'' I better being getting paid well.
I walked in, it smelt like fresh paint and polish. It was quite a retro styled cafe but I liked the look of it. There was a lady who was busily doing some paperwork. I awkwardly wallked up to her but she still didn't notice me. I rolled my eyes and sighed. ''Ahem!'' I soon after coughed to make it seem real.
''Oh I'm so sorry I didn't see you there my dear! My names Becky''
I halfed smiled, half cringed as she held onto my arm. She looked at my uniform and back to my face.
''Aren't they lovely uniforms! I picked them myself!'' Her eyes were brown and glassy but her smile looked genuine.
''Yeah, they are.. uh.. great.'' I stuttered.
''Ah well, a mother knows what suits young girls right,- ''but silly me, I guess I wouldn't know, I only have a teenage boy.. now.'' She flicked her dark brown fringe out of her now saddened eyes.
I wanted to ask her why she said ''now'' but I didn't want to seem nosey on my first day with her.
''So, is their anything you would like me to do?'' I asked tapping my fingers on the counter.
''Hunny, there is nothing to do today, I was in a rush and I forgot you were coming, you can go home if you like that's fine with me.'' she nodded and then looked down at her work.
''Oh, okay.. have a nice day..Becky?'' I turned on my heel, and walked out the door. Wow, so much for working today, now I have to walk home in this humiliating uniform.
When I finally got to my street, the boy was still unloading boxes. Damn, I had to go past him again. I fastened my pace, trying to get to my house quickly. But it failed. I was on my front lawn when his soft husky voice spoke.
''Back so soon?''
I turned around and gave him a dirty look.
''And.. Why would you care?'' I crossed my arms across my chest.
''Because, we are neighbours now, isn't that what neighbours do?''
I rolled my eyes.
''What is your name?'' He said scratching the nape of his neck.
''Jada, and you?'' I bit the inside of my lip, I don't know why I was nervous around him, this is so unlike me.
''Jacob.'' He said, his eyes were now stern and he quickly walked into his house without another word.
What is his problem?
