Hi everyone! This is my second fic… but this time it will be a multi-chapter! I was listening to the song and got the idea.

Chapter One:

I'm in the Business of Misery

Angela's P.O.V

The moment I met Maya I immediately knew I wasn't going to like her… her blonde braids that were hair-sprayed to look like they defied the laws of gravity, her overly-peppy attitude, and a smile that was practically plastered to her face was more than enough to drive me crazy. Did I mention she looked like a freakin' hourglass! She has a giant head, tiny waist and a pink poofy dress that totally completed the look. And when she ate, it was like she was ticking or something! We hated each other from the start and when Chase came, it got even worse. According to my best friend Kathy, a tomboyish waitress with gorgeous long blonde hair, Maya has had a crush on Chase since they were ten, despite the fact that he was sarcastic, rude and arrogant. Honestly, who would like that? Oh, right, Maya.

I was having lunch with Kathy at the Inn while she was on her break when Chase arrived, apparently looking for someone. I finally understood why Maya liked this guy so much; He had wild peach colored hair that was held back by three bobby pins on his right side, about six feet tall, a fair complexion and the most gorgeous violet eyes.

"Well, that's Chase." Kathy sighed following my gaze. Chase was making his way to Jake, who looked up from the book he was usually looking through and greeted him warmly.

"Hello Chase, it's been a while hasn't it? Welcome back!"

"Hey, Jake." Chase replied with the faintest hint of a smile

"Maya's upstairs."

"I don't care where Maya is." Chase said flatly and then asked, "Where's Yolanda?"

"In the kitchen as usual." Jake answered, indicating a short, plump woman with pink hair cooking away in the kitchen.

I heard Chase say a simple "thanks" and walked up the stairs

The moment Kathy was sure he was gone, she tuned to me and said simply: "You like him."

"What!" I practically screamed, shocked she had figured it out so fast. "What makes you say that?"

"You were staring at him the whole time with your mouth slightly open." She said smugly. Then she giggled. "I thought you were going to catch a fly!"

"Okay, maybe I like him a little…" I mumbled. There was no use lying to Kathy, she would worm it out of me anyways.

"Ha! I knew you likes him!" She yelled pointing an accusing finger at me. Maya looked at us suspiciously.

"Shh! Keep it down!" I whispered, slapping her hand down. " If that bitch Maya finds out, she'll make sure we'll never get together!"

"Alright, I get your point." Kathy sighed.

We finished off our lunches and paid for the cheque. I was just about to leave the Inn when Kathy stopped me.

"So when are you planning on asking him out?"

I rolled my eyes and said:

"When I get to know the guy, I'll let you know." And with that I began to walk back to my beloved ranch.

"I'll hold you to that!" Kathy called after me.

Every night after that, I began to work part-tine at the bar. Why you ask? Two reasons

I got to know Chase a lot better

I got to see the jealous looks Maya was shooting our way because we were getting along so well… I loved it

Two weeks later and we were practically the best of friends; our sarcastic personalities going together like peanut butter and jelly. On Saturday, I visited Kathy at Brownie Ranch to tell her that I was going to ask Chase out the next day.

"Really!" She squealed. "That's great! You guys look so cute together!"

"I know!" I replied excitedly. We immediately began to make plans to get me ready for the next day. There is no way he's going to say no. Or at least, that's what I thought…
