“Never did I think I'd ever find you working here, you know. That's plus one thing I know about you now. “ He smiles and plays the straw with his fingers.

“Yeah, me and my life are full of surprises, isn't it?” I chuckle sarcastically with an inward irony. He watches me with amusement as I snatch the straw from his hold and plant it back into it's container slightly annoyed. I sigh.

“Are you here to order something or just to play with straws?” I ask impatiently.
“I order you to go out with me because I find you cute wearing that apron.” He grins playfully and I coudn't help but blush. “As friends.” He adds. Of course he isn't serious but him calling me cute feels different... I like it. “Well tha-”

“And eight chocolate- banana fudges, eight chocolate icecreams and one cinnamon cupcake. Please.” I nod, slightly dumbstruck with his way of ordering items. One cinnamon cupcake, I wonder who's that is.

Haha. What a loner.

I look behind his shoulder to find his band members seated on the corner table along with few girls obnoxiously giggling at some comment made by the boys. I can't see Andy for some reason. But I recognize the three girl's faces- they were at the party.
“O-kay.” I spot a peculiarly new hair among the group. Oh shit.
It is Stacy. I remember her laughing among the crowd at school. I scowl and immediatly look away when she meets my eyes. Maybe it was her who did that- I remember she had a phone in her hand even though it's not a definite proof nor I know the reason. But her newly bright red dyed hair nevertheless seeks to irritate me. I bill the items into the register.

“So when are you free?”I raise my head up .
“What? No- Sorry. I didn't mean-” I stutter.
“Well, that was an order not a request by the way. So you're not coming?” He looks disappointed. Kate casually tip-toes beside me acting as if cleaning the counter. Jeez, I've already cleaned it. She just can't stay away from new topics to gossip. That was her first impression on me of course and she will definitely try to pull it out of me again. Heck, I barely know CC when we became friends just recently.

And I'm still not sure what kind of a person he is. I barely have any friends to know how to judge. But he doesn't seem to ever be serious and I guess he isn't even supposed to be taken seriously that way. His dark eyes are expectant and I half give in.
“Fine. I will think about it-”
“Great. Then, I'll see you.” I nod before he joins his friends. I turn around to fetch the cupcakes only to yelp in surprise. “Kate, please don't scare me like that!” I shake my head.
“Sorry. So why aren't you going? You do know he's the Christian Coma right?” She's not sorry at all. Her excitement is almost intoxicating. I roll my eyes and nod.
“I never said that I'm not going.”
“Your 'Fine, I'll think about it' clealy says so.” I shrug. She grabs my shoulder, her face serious. “To celebrate our newly found friendship, we're going shopping tomorrow.”


It's the end of my shift, Kate is long gone and I'm stuck in an awkward welcome-back conversation with Sarah as she makes herself comfortable in the staff room.
“You seem tired since you asked for a longer shift. Everything alright?” She asks with a smile dipped in concern. “At home?” She adds quickly. Sarah's always been the sympethetic and kind woman. One I wish I had as a mother. She knows that I have some kind of problems at home though I've never told her about my father or my mother and I hate to depend on her at times in spite of her being ready to help me financially. She had even lent me some money which I used to live with Stacy at her dorm. I've not told anyone much and I just don't want to.

I don't know what I'd do without her.
I'm scared. Is everything really alright? At home? Me?
I quickly wipe away the tears before it gets a chance to trickle down. Stupid girl, what's wrong with you?
She notices my gesture but doesn't say anything. Instead her face just tilts with more concern.
“Yes, yes actually.” I clear my throat.
“In fact I've actually decided not to depend on you or my dad. I guess not everyone can get everything on their plate, right?” I force a smile. I don't know about school but I have one thing in mind which I've got to do.

Notes

Hey guys!
Hope you liked the chapter ^^ If you did please vote and subscribe!

Does CC like cinnamon cupcake??

Btw: All this is fiction so it's not exactly like how the actual BvB is. There was no band that Andy was in called 'Biersack' and his mom is a rich businesswoman of an Architectural company. Deal with it.

So anyways, it's up to to like it or not :D I appreciate all your supports! <3
