After last period I wasn't in a hurry, I didn't wanna go to work. I had to though.

So I slowly walked to my locker. Slowly put in my combination. Then slowly turned around when Courtney walked up to me.

She's wearing heels so I know it's her. "Hey Courtney." I say when I turn around.

"You wanna come over after school?" She asks, I look at her all sad. Then I look over when I feel eyes on me.

When I look I see Noah staring at me. Creep.

"I can't I gotta work, I'm sorry. Another time though I promise." She's always trying to get me to come over but I either have work or "dance". I could just tell her dance isn't my thing anymore. No she'll get suspicious.

"Man, you always have something to do. I need to get a job." She says.

"Remember what happened last time you had a job? You broke a total of 17 cups and 9 plates." She looks away in thought.

"Oh yeah that cafe! You think they'd hire me again? I've matured! Please come with me to ask." She can't be serious.

"Fine we can go tomorrow right after school, but we have to be quick." It'll make her happy to know I care so, what can I say.

"Yay! Oh my gosh thank you." She's making such a big deal out of it.

"I've got to go to work now so I'll see you tomorrow!" I say walking away.

"Okay bye!" She's always so cheery, I don't like it.

I walk off and head to work. When I'm there I instantly get uncomfortable seeing so many people in line. Especially from school.

I go to the back and clock in. When I get to the front the already working cashier turns and sighs of relief.

"About time, teenagers are annoying" he says with an eye roll but smiles after to make sure I know he's joking. I already knew though.

"Gosh I know right, remember when you were one?" I ask him with a smile.

"We were taught different way back when I was a teen" I laugh and then start to get people seated.

By 7:50 I was seriously thinking about quitting just because I wanted to leave so bad. Noah walked in and I thought the other three would walk in but it was just him.

"Table for one?" I asked with a fake smile

"Actually I came here to talk to you" he said, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Oh really? Well fine, I get off in 10 minutes if you wanna wait" I said sarcastically but I don't think he knew that.

"Okay well in that case I'll take a burger and a Diet Coke" well okay then.

"'Kay" I said and walked to the back. The cook had already left so I have to do it myself, of course. I don't suck at cooking but he doesn't have to know that.

I give him his coke while the burger is burning - I mean cooking, yeah cooking. He says a small 'thanks' and I go back to the kitchen.

When I get to the mini grill I turn the heat up all the way. When it looks pretty much black I take it off and make the burger. Oh this'll be good.

"Here you go" I say to him with an evil smile and give him his plate. I grab a washcloth and walk around the counter.

I start wiping off the tables when I hear a 'what the' I smile and continue wiping tables.

"Excuse me but this is bur-"

"Sorry my shifts over can't help you there" I cut him off. I walk back to the back and clock out. I hang my apron up and grab my bag.

On my way out the door someone grabs my wrist and turns me around. When I look at who is was I see it was just Noah.

"We're closed you gotta leave." I tell him. He raises an eyebrow and gives me a knowing look. "Fine, sit"

We go to a booth and sit facing each other. I rest my head on the palm of my hand looking up at him, waiting for him to speak.

When he doesn't I speak up. "What did you want to talk about?"

"Well I kinda wanted to talk abou-"

"About my personal problems? No we aren't talking about that." I interrupt him again.

"Why not? You can trust me"

"But can I really?" After that I get up and walk straight to the door. "Now get your booty out of this diner before I call the police" I say holding the door open.

He sighs and gets up. When he's out the door I turn the lights off and close the doors, locking them.

I turn around and get ready to walk off but once again he stops me.

"What Noah, what do you want?" I almost yell at him. Not only did he force out my biggest problem right now, but he'll probably try to pry and get farther in my business then anyone has gone.

"I just wanted to apologize, you know, for making you tell me and then for me trying to ask more about it." He looks away and I almost felt bad.

"Accepted now please let me leave" we both looked surprised, I don't know why I did that but it's already done so I can't really take it back.

"Okay" he lets go of me and starts walking towards his truck. I turn to leave, "Bye" he yells after me. I stick my hand up and wave without looking back.
