Chapter 1
This story started in 1963. It was the summer and Bonnie, 22 year-old, was leaving for her first job outside of town. Her mother was helping her carrying her bags while they walked towards the bus stop.
Bonnie's mom : You'll love it at Kellerman's. They're very respectful.
Bonnie : Good.
Bonnie's mom : I worked there before I met your father.
They reached the bus stopped and waited a little. The bus came in sight.
Bonnie's mom : Be careful, sweetie.
Bonnie : she laughed a little Mama, I'm not going on the other side of the world, you know.
Bonnie's mom : You'll call me every week.
Bonnie : Yes.
The bus stopped.
Bonnie's mom : Good luck she handed her the second bag
Bonnie : Thanks she kissed her cheek and hoped in the bus
Driver : Where to, Miss ?
Bonnie : Kellerman's, please.
He told her the price and she paid. She grabbed her bags and sat down. Like her and the other passengers, the driver was colored. Separated but equal. She looked at the landscape. The trip lasted about half an hour. The bus left her in front of a big board saying 'Kellerman's'. She swallowed down feeling nervous. She fixed her skirt and ran a hand through her hair. It didn't reach her shoulders and it was very fashionable. She loved it. She took a deep breath and walked towards the entrance. She didn't have difficulties to find the staff one.
Staff manager : Hello, your name please ?
Bonnie : Bonnie Bennett, sir.
Staff manager : he checked on his list Yes. Welcome to Kellerman's. Here's your uniform and working shoes.
Bonnie : Thanks.
The uniform was navy blue and the shoes plain white.
Staff manager : As for your place, you'll...Oh here's Suzanne. Hello.
Suzanne : Hello sir, ready for a new summer.
She was a slim black girl who was wearing her hair in a high ponytail. She seemed joyful.
Staff manager : Suzanne, meet Bonnie, she's your new roomate. I'll let you show her around and fill her in.
Suzanne : Will do she helped Bonnie
They left the building.
Suzanne : He called me Suzanne but I prefer Suzie actually.
Bonnie : Noted.
Suzie : You'll love it here. The staff is nice and the pay is good.
Bonnie : Yeah, my mom told me.
Suzie : I'll show you our place she smiled
Later
Kai turned at the Kellerman's sign. Caroline was on the passenger seat wearing sunglasses and her hair tied in a ponytail. He pulled his car.
Caroline : And we're back for another summer.
Kai : Yup but I feel this time is going to be fun.
Caroline : You say that everytime.
Kai : True.
They left the car and went into the building. Caroline put her sunglasses on her head and smiled.
Staff manager : Heyyy, how are my fav dance teachers ?
Kai : Couldn't be better he shook his hand
Caroline : Same.
They started to talk. Meanwhile the door opened. That was when Kai saw her. He already knew Suzie but the girl with her was new. Suzie was showing her around. The unknown girl was attentive and there was a moment when hers and Kai's eyes met. He winked and smiled. She looked away and followed Suzie.
Staff manager : Are you even listening ?
Kai : Yeah, of course.
