After a long day at school mom picked me up and hurry back home to get her self ready for work, I can help thinking about miss swartz she is so nice to me and the way she would look at me and the things LJ had asked me still lingers in my head.
Mom just drop me off and went to the hospital. I don't know why she has to go so early her shift starts tonight. I sighted.
I walked into our beautiful house feeling glad that I'm home from the long day at school. I didn't made any new friends, but maybe as the weeks goes I will make friends not like I want to make any friends. But I did met a friend a beautiful one which is to cute and too big for her age. I missed her now. I'm going to call Chrissy later and tell about everything.
I head up to my room to make myself ready for my first day at Mac Donald's and I'm so excited, I'm going to earn my own money. Dad wouldn't have wanted me to work. Talking about him he never called me back again.
I walk to our garage looking at my Mazda3 car. Dad buy me this when I had turned 16. I miss him even though I know he don't miss me at all. he would have call me by now,feeling sad.
I driver to work on a slow speed. It scares me living in this forest. We don't know what greepy dangerous creatures living here in the forest that can eat us up. It's going to be so hard for me to fall asleep tonight being alone in big house oh God help me.
I park my car and look out of my window at Mac Donald's, feeling the stress and nerves kicks in. I'm going to be alright it will be alright. I take off my seat bell and climb out of my car. The wind picks up and blow Making me shivers.
I walk into Macdonalds smiling at the woman walking out of the door as I went in. I walked up to the young girl standing at till taking orders.
She smiled at me, "hi can I help you?" she asked.
I smiled back at her feeling shy, "halo, I'm Lucia and today it's my first day, can I see the manager please. I ask her feeling embarrassed as hell.
" Okay, can you wait just here", she told me and disappeared behind a door.
The young girl came back gesture for me to follow her. "I'm sorry, the manager is not here, but it was confirmed that someone is starting today, so welcome here. I'm Monique and I'm going to show you around a little until the manager came back" she said smiling at me.
" Okay Thank you, that's fine", I said happily.
She laughed at me making me frown at her. "I know you scared and nervous, which is normal. I was just like you when I first started here. The people here is exactly nice", she told me giving me a key.
"This is your locker key and here is your clothes you going to wear. There's the bathroom go and dress up, you will find me at front", she said walking out leaving me alone.
I look around feeling I was watched by someone which I found strange, is not the first time I felt lik someone were watching me. I looked at key for the number and for my locker and put my clothes in after I was done dressing and walk out to the front where she told me I would find her.
The clothes just fits me perfect and I love it, but it's not warm ans it's not cold in here.
Monique smile at me when She saw me walk up to her , "you lucky we not busy today so there's not much to do. I'm going to show you how to work on the computer, how to put in the orders of the people as for your real job. waitress it's not a big deal because it's easy.
" Hey I guess I'm lucky" I smiled at her.
I have met few of the others work after she show me how to put in the orders of the people. I did serve a few people getting a tip from them.
I walked up to Monique giving her the money of the people I have served. "Indeed you are lucky, you have received a tip too. I wish I could have been so lucky like you on my first day", she told me smiling at me.
"Good things happen to good people" I told her smiling.
"Yes it's true friend, you taking your tips or can I put it to your monthly salary? she asked me.
"Can I have it?" I asked looking at a girl who just walked in looking stressed and worried.
"Yes you can have it my dear of you can put it to your salary", she told me with her also fixed on the same girl who just passed us by. "Never mind her." she told me.
"Why is that? I asked her.
"No one messed with her, she speaks with no one, laugh with no one. She is just in her own world, she came to work when she wants to."she whisper.
" Who is she and why isn't she fired yet if she came to work when she ever it suits her? I asked also in whisper tone.
"she's the baby daughter of the manager, Norma is her name", she said.
We were startled by the back door being slammed hard making us jump. Norma walk out looking very pissed off.
"you all stupid bitches", she shouts
"She is a real drama queen", I Sight looking at her. I felt sad for her.
"stay away from or Better stay on her good side", I heard Monique said gesture for me to come over and take the order of the man who just entered the shop.
"Good afternoon sir", I greet him with my beautiful smiled.
"Afternoon." he greeted me back. " can I have the specials of today? he asked me. He gesture for me to the board where it shows the meun of today's special.
"Sit or takeaway? , I asked him while typing in his oder.
"Sit please", he said
"Coming up sir and enjoy", I said smiling at him.
I look around still can get this strange feeling off me that I'm been watch."Are you fine Lucia, you look around you since you got here, what's wrong? Monique asked me
" I don't know, is just I got this strange feeling that I'm been watch." I told her.
" Maybe is just the people in here looking at you, you are indeed a beautiful lady, I'm getting jealous seeing how you already got your first tip", she said raising her brows up and down smiling at me.
"I want to see the Norma the people don't see, the one people don't wanna recognize, the one where they don't see a monster, the one where they don't have to told me not to talk to her. That's what I want for you to be my friend. I want to know the Norma the one within you", I told her.
She look at me with a blank expression on her face, her face held no reflection. She was so white and pale. oh my God what's wrong with her, what's going on in her head. I was surprised by her features.
I heard her laugh. I look at her seeing no smirk, no smile on her face just a blank laugh expression, "you stupid bitch",she said making me cough. I just look at her saying nothing,I'm scared she will do something. She stand up and walk out of the shop leaving me shocked.
I look up seeing the hole staff is looking at me even the manager making me feel embarrassed, did they heard how she calls me a stupid atleast I got her talking and that's al that matters.
" can I see you in my office", miss grace said walking to the back. I follow her and I sight. Am I going to lose my job for talking to her.
"Miss riet" the manager said looking at me "please take a seat", she told me.
I sit down at the chair feeling nervous, my heart skip a beat.
"No need for you to be nervous my dear. I'm glad you here and sorry that I wasn't here to Welcome you, but I know that you did a good job", she told looking at me.
"Thanks ma'ma", I said smiling at her.
"How did you do it", she asked me, I don't know what she meant by that. "I don't know...
"i mean Getting my daughter to talk to you." she said.
"Ma'ma, I'm sorry for talking to her. I know I was told not to talk to her, but it was something, I don't know is just..
"it's okay, I know miss riet can you call me grace please and I don't know what you have done to my daughter for her to speak to you. I'm glad thank you" .
"No need to thank me, I'm m just curious why they say we must not talk to her. " I said looking at her.
"Miss Riet, you know that was the first time I heard my daughter talk in years", she said looking down, " I just hear her laugh like did few minutes ago. Whatever you did please don't stop, but be careful. She told me holding my hand in hers. Her hand was cold on my warm one.
"MA.. I mean. Grace I can't promise, but I realy want to know her better is just its going to take time because she looks like a stuff cookie", I said hearing grace laugh.
"Yes she is and I know you will get it right thank you for not listening to the staff members. ", she told mw
