*New Kogan story! Hope you like it! :)
*Logan's POV*
I walked into the restaurant trying to ignore the fact that I was alone. All of the sudden a perky blonde came over to me.
"Landon, you came! Yay! So the seating in here is kind of specific. My manager doesn't like to waste table space so go grab one of the single tables in the back!"
"Thanks and by the way it's Logan."
"Right. Anyways I'd totally join you but I'm working! Bye Lucas!" I walked to the back of the restaurant without even correcting her. The whole place was filled with women except for two tables. One of them had a group of four guys that looked like total hipsters and the other had several guys, all wearing shirts that said veggies for life. After ten minutes a waiter finally made his way over. He was tall, blonde, and had the most amazing green eyes. I noticed that his boss or someone was watching closely and observing him. Apparently the waiter knew too because he acted overly excited when he spoke.
"Hello! Welcome to Sanitas Plus! I'm Kendall and I'll be your waiter this afternoon. I'm very sorry for the wait but when you're the number one restaurant in town, it gets busy. Now, what kind of menu would you like? Regular, Vegetarian, or Select Diet?"
"Um...regular please." He handed me one of the menus that he was carrying.
"Today's special is the Soy Platter. Also all meals are half off if you purchase something over $15 from our Smart Foods collection at the mini store over there." He pointed to the other side of the store. Before we could speak again, the manager walked over.
"Nice work Kendall. I need to go to Kyra's Cafe over by Middleton Street. You're in charge." The manger hurried out the door without another word.
"Sorry you had to sit thru that. He expects everyone to do the whole happy employee routine but no one ever does. So what can I get you to drink?"
"I'm sorry. This is a stupid question but is this menu even in English. I mean I don't understand what half of this stuff is. Plus the drinks sound gross. Tofu blend and soy surprise? Not really my kind of drink."
"This is your first time here, isn't it?"
"Yeah..."
"Did Angela tell you about this place by any chance? At the Scholars Program tour today?"
"What?! How'd you know?" Kendall sighed, grabbed a chair, and sat down.
"She tells every single person that she meets about this place. I guess you fell for it too. When I first went to the Scholars Program at the university, she told me about this place and since I didn't know any other places to eat I came here. This whole restaurant is designed for vegetarians and dieters. I ended up working here because I needed the money and they pay a lot. Plus they give you all of these coupons for groceries at the end of each month. It really helps."
"Wow. I guess that's one way to get business. I just got here today and I thought that she actually liked me and wanted to be friends but I guess not. She didn't even get my name right."
"Same here. She kept calling me Randall."
"At least yours was close. My names Logan and she called me Landon and Lucas. I even saw her point to me and tell a worker that I was from the school and named Lane."
"Wow. She really sucks at this."
"Definitely. So you were in the Scholar Program?"
"No. Not yet anyways. I've visited the campus a few times before. They wanted me in the program right after high school but I wanted to work on my music for a while. Now four years later, I'm finally going."
"Cool. So you write music?"
"Yeah. My friend and I have a band called Heffron Drive."
"Cool name. Like from the movie Sunburst?"
"Yeah! I've never actually met someone who's understood the name."
"I'm into weird, old, horror movies like that."
"Me too. Well I should probably get back to work. I'm sure that Rico will be back soon and I know he'll be pissed if your order still hasn't been taken."
"Right..." He could definitely tell that I had no clue what to order.
"The pastas are really good. They don't have any sauce but you can order it on the side. Also the pocket sandwiches are good. They are really similar to hot pockets, only homemade and healthier. For drinks we have flavored water, milk, coffee, and tea."
"Thanks. I think I'll have a Philly pocket sandwich and an iced tea, with sugar if possible."
"I'll make you a deal. I'll sneak you some sugar packets if you agree to go see a movie with me tonight. The remade version of Dead and Gone just came to the Cineplex and none of my friends will go."
"Sounds like a deal."
"Cool. I'll be back in a bit." Soon he came back with my drink and a bowl of sugar packets. Then my food was there and it tasted delicious. After I was done paying, Kendall came over.
"Hey. Rico said I could leave early. You want to head over to my place and hang until the movie?"
"Sure." I followed Kendall to his car and got in. Kendall had to run over and talk to one of the other employees so I started to look around the car. I noticed a picture hanging from the rearview mirror. It was Kendall and some guy. "Damn he's so cute!" Wait what? Did I just seriously call Kendall…cute?
