"Too much light in this window,
Don't Wake Me Up,
Only coffee no sugar inside my cup,
If I wake and you here still gimme a kiss,
I was in this dreamin' about your lips"

I buried my head further under my pillow as my ring tone went off on my mobile. Something was bothering me in the back of my head but I was too tired to even try and think about it.

Don't Wake Me Up,Up,Up,Up,Up,
Don't Wake Me Up,Up,Up,Up,Up,
Don't Wake Me Up,Up,Up,Up,Up,
Don't Wake Me Up..

"How Ironic" I mumbled to myself as I emerged from under the bedding. Yes Ironic that my phone happened to be singing Don't wake me up and it was the thing that was actually waking me up. I sat up and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and reached for my mobile. I groaned when I saw the name on the screen. Nicole. Now don't get me wrong, Nicole's a lovely person, i love her to pieces, but her happy go lucky voice is not the first one I want to hear in the morning.

I grudgingly pressed the take-call button and tried to brace myself for her cheery attitude, but instead i was met with a surprise.

"Hello?"

"Verity Black where the hell are you?" Nicole's voice hissed in my ear.

"Umm in bed, where in the hell are you Nicole?" I asked amused.

"At work, and so should you! Beth's going to be here any minute!" She said clearly not amused.

"FUCK ME!" I shouted throwing myself out of bed. "I'll be there soon Nic, try and stall Beth if she gets there before me" I didn't give Nic a chance to reply before I hung up and stuffed my phone in my bag.

I work in a diner about 10 minutes away from my house. I'm 17 years old at the minute so I still live with my father, Billy Black and my little brother by one year, Jacob Black. It's a 10 minute walk to work but if I run the whole way there, I might be able to make it in five and I will probably be able to leave the house in about 10 minutes. So I have 15 minutes to do all of that. Challenge accepted.

I rummaged in my chest of drawers for a clean and white shirt, I pulled my arms through it and sprayed some deodorant under my arms. I dove on the floor while trying to button up the shirt and scanned under the bed trying to find the black skinny jeans I threw under there last night.

Once I was dressed I grabbed my wash bag and ran out my bedroom door and into the bathroom, passing my dad on the way.

"Running a bit late aren't you Ver?" He asked wheeling himself back a little so he could see me through the door.

"Yea, I slept in, totally forgot about work today, Thank god that Nic rang me" I said giving him a quick smile in the mirror while I applied my makeup.

"Ahh good old Nic, I like her, you planning on having her round again?" He said smiling.

I pulled a face "You do realise that makes you sound a little creepy right?" I smiled as he rolled his eyes.

"Forgive me for being nice" He said sarcastically. I finished of powdering my face and put the rest of my make up in my wash bag and turned around to face him.

"I'm actually thinking of having the girls round next Friday, you know when the next game is on, maybe you could go round to Charlie's or something" I said hopefully.

"He smiled at me softly "We'll see" and then he wheeled of into the living room. I shook my head smiling to myself, and then i remembered what i was doing and dashed back towards my bedroom. I threw my wash bag onto my bed, grabbed my keys in case nobody was home when I got back and put them in my bag, I stuffed my red hoodie, I-pod as well.

I slipped on my flats and ran over to my dad and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Bye dad!" I rushed out the door and slammed it behind me. And to say that I ran would be an understatement, it would be correct to say that i ran a speed that Flash himself would be proud of. I ran until my lungs were in great pain. But I only had about one more minute to go so i sucked up my pain and jogged it (Hey I'm no super human, you didn't actually expect me to run the whole way did you, I'm lucky I survived the first 3 minutes of that running!) .

I ran into the diner with apparently minutes to spare because as soon as I walked/tumbled in Nic pounced on me. Her brown ponytail almost hitting me in the face and she came to a sudden halt.

"You are so lucky, Beth rang up to say her car broke down so she's walking, but I promise you this time that she will be here any moment" She said frantically trying to push me behind the counter.

"I forgot my flower do you have a spare one I can borrow?" I asked while tying an apron around my waist and slipping a notepad and pencil in the pocket. Nic sighed in a frustrated fashion. "Hold on" She said running into the Staff room. I fiddled around the counter while I waited for her to come back.

Oh I forgot to explain, the diner I work in is called Lei'd Back (Cute huh?) It's a Hawaiian Diner; it basically serves everything a normal American diner would serve just with a Hawaiian theme, umbrellas in drinks and the like. Beth is our manager, she herself is from Hawaii but she moved here three years ago to start this place up. I've worked for her ever since this place opened.

"Here you go" Nic said sliding along a white flower along the counter.

"Thanks" I said sending her a grateful smile and slipped it into my hair.

The bell to the Diner door rang signalling that a customer had entered the Diner. Me and Nic must have looked up at the same time because we both said and I quote "For fucks sake" the reason for this was who walked through the door was Sam Uley and his two cronies, Jared Cameron and Paul Lahote. You see I used to be good friends with Sam Uley, until he broke my best friend's heart, Leah Clearwater. When that happens you're automatically obliged to hate the guy.

I looked over at Nic and we shared the same look and at that point i knew it was on.

"NOT IT!"

"NOT- Damn it!" I sunk down and hit my head on the counter Why me?!

Nic threw her head back and laughed "If you hadn't have been late you might have already been serving someone by the time they came in" She laughed. I glared at her and shoved into her shoulder roughly, and may or may not have called her a rude name. I grabbed three menus

I slowly made my way towards the table that they had now occupied, and like I said before to say I walked slowly, would be an understatement, I walked at a pace slower than a snail. But it still wasn't slow enough; I still arrived at the destination.

I looked at them distastefully, I sighed and took my notepad and pencil out, they were all mucking around and being quiet loud. I cleared my throat loud enough for them all to shut up and look my way. When Sam saw me he grinned widely, Stupid, friendly ass hole.

I cleared my throat again and spoke in my most monotone voice "Aloha and welcome to Lei'd back; My name is Verity and I'll be your waitress today, here are your menus, can I get you anything to drink now or do you want time to look at the menus first?" Sam just grinned at me, but then he had to ruin the silence by opening his big mouth. "Ver!-" I cut him off right then and there.

"It's Verity" I said flatly. HA! That took the smile off his face!

"Ermm yeah, sorry about that, we'll order now... I'll have a coke please" He ordered looking sheepishly down at his menu.

"And you?" I said looking at Jared. "Fanta" I frowned at his lack of manners.

"And what would you like?" I said finally turning towards Paul, but that was my mistake, because when I did, my whole world stopped.
