My Double Life

Chapter 10

Skylar's POV

"Hey guys, I didn't expect you guys today." I say as I come to the table where the guys are seated and surprisingly the girls are there too, including Vee.

"Yeah, we wanted to show Vicky the best diner in town." Karen says and I try my hardest not to roll my eyes

"That's great, you won't regret coming here Victoria." I say to her forcing my enthusiasm

"Please do that cute intro for us." Seth requests and I send him an 'are you serious' look and he nods

I sigh, "Hi, my name is Skylar and I'll be your waitress for today. What can I get you?" I swear I don't get paid enough for this

"Are your cheeseburgers any good?" She asks and Seth, Ray and Karen gasp at her question

"Never question the credibility of the cheeseburger. It's the best ever." Seth dramatically says

Kendrick rolls his eyes and so do I.

"So will that be a cheeseburger?" I ask her

"Yes and a coke." She finishes

I wonder what ever happened to please

"And the rest of you?" I ask and they place their orders and I excuse myself

"So Ken, do you have a girlfriend?" I hear Vee ask before I'm out of earshot

Who does she think she is waltzing in here and just asking dumb questions like that? She's got some nerve

"Here's the last of your order." I say placing a plate infront of Ray and he thanks me, making me smile for the first time today

I look over to Kendrick who's got his eyes locked on me clearly not paying any attention to Vicky over there. I raise my eyebrow at him and he looks away

I haven't spoken to Kendrick since they came to help out at the diner last week. I'm not avoiding him, I just don't have anything to say to him. I mean it was a dare and there really isn't much to it than that.

"Bye Sky." The group waves as they leave the diner and I wave back

"The usual for you Chuck?" I ask the humble old man

"Yes ma'am. Oh and add an orange soda to that please." He politely asks

"Right away." I smile and skip away, not literally

I finish my shift and leave the diner after saying my goodbyes to Astrid.

"Kendrick, what are you doing here?" I ask the boy leaning against his car, startling me

"I was waiting for you, up for a park talk?" He asks

"Uh, how long have you been out here?" I ask dumbfounded

"Not long, I got here just ten minutes ago." He shrugs

"Oh." Is all I say, still trying to process this

"So, park or not?" He asks, I nod and he opens the passenger door for me to get in

The car ride is silent, awkward more than comfortable. Kendrick turns on the radio
