Venessa's POV.

With that, I hung up and ran towards the parking lot at school, as I walked towards the parking lot I saw Beth standing and waiting for me.

“Hey, Beth!” I yelled from here while waving my hand, She turned towards me and smiled and began walking towards me. 

As we both bid goodbyes I got inside my car and drove from there, I reached my home and parked my car in the parking lot, I walked towards my main door, unlocked it and stepped inside, I put my car keys to the hanger and walked straight to my bedroom. I have to go to work, right now I'm working at a cafe. I work there from six to eight and comes back home till, 8;30. I walked straight to my bedroom and fell flat on to take some rest.

After some time my alarm started ringing, waking me up. It’s 5 30 now. I ran towards my bathroom. I got ready in just 20 min, Took my car keys, locked my house, I drove. I work at f’s restaurant as a waiter. I get a decent salary, Sometimes it’s not enough but I learned to adjust in just a little money. My house was under my dad after he died, it transferred to me.

Sometimes grandma sends me money, she puts it in my bank account which always helps me financially, but I don’t use her money much, only when I don't have anything with me, then I use it. I just let it be there if I don't have any problem. I like to be independent; I don’t want to be a burden to my grandma, so I work for myself even though she tries to help me and always argue with me not to work.

I reached the restaurant, parked my car, and walked inside. I changed my clothes into my work clothes.

“Hey v“ it’s Kim, my coworker, Kim hemmington, He’s kind, talented, Sporty. He’s 6 feet tall, brown hair, blue eyes, very attractive and very popular among girls. He has this charming personality, always smiling and kind towards others.

“Hi, Kim“ I greeted back and smiled at him,  “What happened, you look pale,“ he asked with concern in his blue eyes.

“Nothing, just school stress,“ I replied as I took the pencil and book in my hand, 

“Don’t stress so much v?“ he said, out of concern.

“Venessa stop chatting and come here, please“ It’s our manager, Mr black.

“Yes, Mr black “ I replied and walked towards him,

“Take orders from table no 8,“ he said, pointing his finger towards the table,

“Ok“ I glanced at and began walking towards that table, I noticed four people sitting there, two boys, and two girls, talking to each other and laughing out loud.

I reached there, “Your order please,“ I asked, smiling and looking down at my book as I was ready to take their order but nothing came from them which made me look at them. After seeing who they are, my face literally dropped. It’s Them!!! Aron and Remand with Two girls I never saw before. 

Fuck my life. Why does this happen to me all the time?

“Look!!! Who’s here guys,“ Remand said looking at me up and down, he was literally looking at me like I am his new puppy. I just swallowed and tried to stay calm while I stood still watching them. Aron was looking at me with something in his eyes which I couldn’t understand, why is he looking at me like that? It was like he wanted to say something but he couldn't!

“Who’s this Rey, Do you know her?“ the red-haired girl sitting beside him asked with curiosity radiating in her eyes.

“Yes, This is Vanessa foster, my school mate.“ he said, coming towards me while wrapping hands around my shoulder, “She is my most favourite girl in school,“ Remand said, looking at me with a smirk on his face. I took his hands off me while I moved aside slowly, My action has shocked him.

“Your order please,” I asked them politely, hiding my nervousness. It was so hard but I tried to ignore Remond as much as I can,

Aron gave me his order first, then all of them gave their orders one by one, I quickly walked back and gave it to Kim.

Staring at me, he asked, “What happened? Are you okay?“

Looking down at my shoes I shook my head, “ I don’t want to go back there,“ I said, Glancing at that table,

“Okay,” he said and turned back, “Ashley! Can you take this to table 8?” he asked, giving her the items they ordered,

“Okay, no problem,“ she said and smiled at Kim, She took that order with her as I stared at her back, 

“How do you do that?,” I asked, he always does that, whatever he asked her to do, she does that but when I ask her to do something she’ll never do it. He just shrugged his shoulders while smiling at me. I was helping Kim here in placing the in the plate,  Ashley came back to me and poked my shoulder, I turned my head to her,

"They’re asking for you Ven, please go,“ she said and walked back, hearing her Kim looked at me, “If you feel uncomfortable, I’ll go there and tell them you aren't available, okay," he said, 

“No no, it’s okay, I’ll go,“ I assured him and turned around as I took a deep breath and walked back to table 8, Quietly, I began serving them. While I was serving them the dishes they ordered all of a sudden Remand pushed my hand which made the soup bowl slip from my hand and it directly fell all over the table and on Remand’s t-shirt. I gasped and began apologizing to him while taking the tissue,

“What the fuck! You ruined my t-shirt,“ He screamed, without listening to my apologies.

“Call your manager, right now,“ He shouted looking around for Mr.Black, I looked around and noticed everyone looking at us and whispering. All the staff were walking towards us with tension written all over their faces. 

Mr.black ran towards us and tried to talk to him. I was so scared for my job as my legs and body were badly shaking and tears rolling in my eyes, Remond began complaining about me to Mr.Black, who was trying to control the situation badly. I turned around and walked back to the changing while I tried hard to control myself.
