"I have never been more nervous in my life," Brittany states as she starts to get ready for her first shift at local restaurant.
"You definitely have a reason to be nervous. Santana is not exactly a nice person," Kurt, her best friend, casually replies. It definitely doesn't help her to calm down at all.
Kurt and Brittany have known each other for ages. They are basically siblings. She is an outed lesbian, while he keeps his sexuality as a secret. Well, not really. Most of people know where the truth is but they let him be. The only person Kurt came out to is Brittany and they have been playing this little game of pretending to be a couple for a few years. Britt has had a good amount of hook ups and everyone knows that which is another reason why people don't really trust this fairy tale. However, everyone wants Kurt to be happy and comfortable so no one really shows any doubts.
Kurt has been working at the restaurant for 2 years. Brittany has always spent all the shifts with him so she knows many people from there, except from the Latina everyone is so scared of. So is Brittany. She has heard tons of stories about how she kicked out workers from their shifts for the most banal stuff. And it took Kurt a decent amount of months to get along with her. So it definitely was a huge challenge for the bubbly blonde.
"Do you wanna drive to work together?" Brittany asks her best friend.
"Sure, however, I need to arrive there one hour earlier than you. I don't think it is a problem though. I can at least show you everything."
"Ok, that'd be great. I don't wanna make a fool out of myself. I will just get my make up done and we can go. Give me ten minutes!"
"Ok, I need to pack my stuff anyway. Meet me in front of my car in ten minutes?" Kurt smiles and starts to collect his uniform.
"Will be there!" Brittany replies and runs to her best friend's bathroom.
"That's it. I am going to die today and everyone is gonna think your best friend is a spoiled brat who is not able to work," Brittany nervously whisperes while leaving Kurt's car in front of her new work place.
"You are going to be great, don't worry, I'd never offer you this job if I didn't believe in you." he hugs her before they enter the restaurant.
Everyone happily greets him and Britt is looking for her new boss to officially meet her. It takes her just a minute to spot the beautiful Latina standing behind a bar checking the whole lobby. She is talking to a group of Brittany's new co-workers about what they should do. Britt heads to her.
"Hey, I am Brittany and I am supposed to have my first shift today," the blonde greets her and offers her a hand to shake. The Latina eyes her for a moment then she checks her watch.
"You are early," she coldly states and doesn't shakes Brittany's hand.
The blonde awkwardly takes her hand back while she quietly answers: "I arrived with Kurt, his shift is about to start in ten minutes and I wanted to learn a few things before mine starts."
"Sit down and have a coffee, I will call your name when it is time for you to start," Brittany's boss replies and turns to talk to the group again.
Brittany orders a coffee as she was said and sits down to the nearest corner while she is waiting for Kurt. He comes after a few minutes.
"So have you already met her?" he asks excitedly.
"Yep, and you were right, she is a straight up bitch. I am seriously looking forward to being in the same room for 8 more hours with her," Brittany sarcastically replies.
"You will get used to it, trust me. Her life is not exactly easy, yet she keeps being strong. Once she warms up to you, you will like her," Kurt politely smiles and it gives me a little of courage.
Brittany grabs her iPad and starts to read a book when Santana comes closer to her.
"It's your time," she says, "come with me, I will give you your uniform."
Brittany nervously closes her book and follows her as quickly as possible. Santana leads her to a small office right behind a kitchen. She eyes her and Brittany would swear she stopped on her boobs for a slight second.
"This should fit you," Santana literally throws an ugly brown T-shirt and a black trousers at Brittany.
"Thanks," the blonde mumbles and heads to a female changing room.
When she is in the middle of changing into her work clothes, the doors open and Santana enters the room.
"Your name?"
"Pierce!"
"Your first name, not your surname!" Santana snaps at her.
"Brittany."
"Ok," she replies and leaves again.
A few moments later she comes back with a small name tag in her hands.
"This is yours. You need to wear it all the time and make sure not to lose it or you will pay $2. You are gonna be Kurt's right hand for today. You will help him with coffee and at the same time you will keep the whole restaurant nice. Show me what you got!" she finishes and leaves again.
Brittany finds Kurt and he shows her how everything works. Let the show begins, Brittany silently mumbles only for her to hear.
The whole shift goes by kind of nicely. Brittany makes sure to do everything right and she also manages to be really quick so she does some extra work. Everytime she spots the hot Latina, she busies herself even more. Kurt looks like he is also satisfied with her best friend's work skills and he makes sure to find nice words for her.
8 hours later Brittany is done for the day.
It didn't even hurt that much, she thinks to herself. Santana is just leaving in her civil clothes and for the first time Brittany can fully checks her out. She really is a hot piece, the blonde one must admit. Santana stops next to Kurt and they chat a little bit.
"I wanna smoke so badly and there is no a cigarette for me anymore. I have smoked the whole box today," Brittany hears Santana groan. She comes closer and coughs to clear her throat. Santana turns to face her and the pure blue eyes lock with the chocolate ones for the first time.
"You can smoke one of mine if you want to," Brittany offers her, "it is for the nice way you treated me today. I thought you would be worse, to be honest," she tries to light up the whole situation.
Santana chuckles and takes one of the cigarettes from the white box: "I don't have a reason to be mean to people who does their job good." Santana slightly smiles.
"Thanks!" Brittany happily answers and hides the box of cigarettes to the back pocket.
Santana immediately leaves with a quiet bye and Brittany turns to lock eyes with her best friend.
"It wasn't that bad, was it? Santana kept telling me that you were great the whole day!"
And with that Brittany's smiles grows even more. It definitely isn't gonna be that bad.
