A/N: This is just some random idea, i've been thinking about for a while. I wanted to try something different. I don't know how long my story will be. I'll just write as it goes. Hope you like it. Read and Review.
The story is written from Sophie's POV. I was wondering if there were any stories about her and when I saw there weren't I decided to write something about her. It takes place during season 3. After episode 12 "Crime and punishment". Sophie already works at Rikki's. Rikki and Zane are still a couple. Will has just found out the secret and Lewis never left.

I saw the strange girl entering the café. I was standing behind the counter, making some juices and went to customers do give the juices they had just ordered. The girl went straight over to the bar. She had medium brown hair and green eyes. I was positive I'd never seen her before, still there was something that seemed familiar about her. I just didn't know what. I smiled at her. "Can I help you?" I asked.
"Can you tell me where I can find Zane Bennett?" she asked me.
"I'm sorry but Mr. Bennett isn't here. He had an important business meeting this afternoon." I answered.
"By that, you mean he's playing videogames in his office, right? Listen, I need to see him, it's important." The girl said.
"I'm sorry but Zane's busy. He didn't want to get disturbed."
"Then can you at least tell him, Lauren has asked for him?"
"Okay, I will." I sighed. This girl was starting to get on my nerves.
"Okay thank you." The girl said and left the café.

Half an hour later, Zane and Rikki entered the café. They were laughing together. What did he see in her anyway? I'd be a much better girlfriend for him. I'm older, more mature and prettier than Rikki. Why couldn't Zane just see that?
I decided to not talk about the strange girl. She could come back if it was really important. "So how was the meeting?" I asked Zane and Rikki.
"Great! We've made a really good deal. It will bring a lot of people to the café, and we don't have to pay anything for that. It will bring a lot of extra profit." Zane smiled. "Oh Sophie, if you want you can stop working for today. I believe you've still a lot of overtime."
I smiled. "Okay, great! Now I can go to Will's practice. See ya later." I said, took off my apron and left the café. The rest of the day I spent with Will at the swimming pool and at his boatshed. Around 9 I went home.

The next day, I had to work my evening shift at the café. The place was overloaded, since Bella's band had a gig. Rikki, Zane, Amber and I were working around the clock. Then, all of a sudden, I saw the brown-haired girl again. She was now talking to Cleo, who was sitting next to Will. Will didn't seem to know her either, but Cleo clearly did. I saw Cleo pointing at Zane, who was standing behind the bar and I knew immediately I was in trouble.
The girl headed to the bar and Zane seemed surprised to see her. He came from behind the counter and the two of them hugged intensely. Who was she? I walked to the counter with some empty glasses that needed to be cleaned, so I could hear their conversation.
"I didn't know you were back. How long are you here?" Zane asked.
"Since yesterday morning. I've been here during the afternoon but a waitress told me you weren't here. Didn't she tell you I had been asking for you?"
"No. Who was the waitress?" Zane asked.
"A girl with short red hair. That's her." The girl pointed in my direction. I looked innocent at her.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Why didn't you tell me Lauren has been here yesterday?" Zane looked agitated to me.
"Sorry, I forgot. I didn't know it was so important." I said.
"Oh, it's okay. I understand you're busy and all. No problem." The girl said to me. Then she turned her head to Zane again, while I continued cleaning glasses. "So, when do you have time for me? We need to talk, Zane?" The girl asked my boss.
"Hey Zane, could you stop talking, please. There's heaps of work and…" Rikki stopped talking when she saw the girl's face. "Hey Lauren. Sorry I have to interrupt you guys, but it's way too crowded now."
"Can you come back tomorrow? Then we'll talk, I promise!" Zane said. The girl nodded, ordered a juice and left half an hour later. The rest of the evening I wondered who she might be, and why everybody seemed to know her, except for me and Will.
