CHAPTER 7: DAMN, SHE'S SO COOL.

🚣🚣🚣

Prom day.

But here I was serving the customer in the diner late at night. I have no shift during Friday but I took the available shift that was meant for my co-worker, Mindy, who studies at my school too. She attended the prom and asks if I could fill her schedule just this one time. And I happily agreed.

I’ve worked some of my home works for next week anyway. Plus, my visit time to mom was already over like an hour ago. My dad won’t agree on my late shift tonight but I insist because he knows that we need money that bad, he won’t tell me but I know very well.

He just won’t like the idea of getting his only daughter worked up. And I had to fight him about me not being a baby anymore and I won, obviously.

As of now, the diner isn’t busy given that it’s almost midnight. Lily updated me with the prom every now and then that I had to silent my phone so that no one notices I was using phone during my work.

I have nothing else to do anyway but to touch my phone or else I’d go die in boredom.

Repeatedly, I can’t help but smile at Lily’s messages. It goes to the borderline of her boring date who he forgot the name like who does that? He was your date for Pete’s sake.

Sometimes I really don’t get Lily and his antics.

I stop myself from cracking miserably whenever she would throw funny texts. She was making fun of people’s get up and their dates.

From her vivid description I can’t help but imagine them in my head which I totally found funny.

The doorbell rings indicating new customers. I type a quick text to Lily to fill me up from the interesting events back there later. Then put away my phone and out of habit grab the menu and made my way to the new occupied table.

My smile was plastered brightly on my face thanks to Lily for the good mood. But the sight that I found in front of me got my smile dissolve like an ice cream under the heat.

Hunter was sat there looking so good as ever and wearing his robot costume and he’s with someone.

Not just someone, but a girl.

And I had to put lever on my jaw to close it as my eyes linger to the girl longer than necessary. I completely forgot that Hunter was even there in the first place.

She is absolutely gorgeous and it had to be her name and no one would object. Her brown eyes were really pretty and her smile is very friendly, not the smirk type of smile but a genuine friendly smile as she looks at me.

And when she greeted me and ask me how I was doing, I completely lost it.

She was nice too. She was definitely perfect and I’d be the first one to scream it to the world with my beating heart.

God, I sound like a 13 year old boy crushing on a senior student who was out of my league. If my heart beats like crazy right now, I’d be convince that I am a lesbian.

Okay I was being so weird right now.

I brought back my smile and brighter this time only because she made me feel welcomed in her league whatsoever.

“Good evening! I am Margaux your server for tonight. I was doing great and thank you for asking. How about you?” I greeted overly done. My face surely looks like in full awe as she smiles back at me.

“We’re good.” She had said and I had to frown for referring herself as ‘we’ then before I could ask her that, she beat me into it.

“You look familiar, have we met before?” She asked me tilting his head a little bit that I find ridiculously adorable.
