Kale Suit

This is based on the prompt of Karma gets hit on by someone in a fur suit and finds out it is Amy. Enjoy!

I had to separate this story into 4 parts. Thank you for the messages saying that the format was wrong. I really appreciate it.

Ding Ding Ding!

I turn around and reach out for my phone to turn off my alarm. It is 8 in the morning on Saturday. I instantly regret promising my parents I will help them today with the food truck. I get up out of bed and stretch my arms over my head. I pick up my phone and start to read my messages. The first one I open is from Liam telling me he will be over an hour. Since I don't have a car I depend on him to drive me places but it is okay we are best friends. Ever since in Kindergarten when Lauren Cooper pulled on my piggy tail, put gum in my hair and made a nasty rumor that I am gay he has defended me. I appreciate it. I see Liam as an older brother who will always protect me. The next text was from Shane Harvey telling me that the girl I was talking to last night was so into me and he can set us up on a double date. I roll my eyes. That girl I met last night was a cute blonde with green eyes. She was a couple of inches taller than me and had the perfect smile I have ever seen. I do admit she was attractive and I wanted to get to know her more but we were both a little tipsy and we were just having fun. Nothing more.

Shane is Liam's other best friend who I don't really get along with. I know he only hangs out with me because Liam tells him to and that is the only reason I get invited to his parties. But I am not complaining because Shane's parties are pretty awesome! Shane has been nicer to me lately because evil queen B Lauren Cooper started a rumor about me being gay. Ever since Shane has been acting like my best friend. He somehow got my number, probably from Liam, and has been texting me nonstop asking me to go to some gay club with him. I always make an excuse or flat out tell him I am not gay. He rolls his eyes and tells me I am just scared and someone special will come along.

The last message is from my mom asking me to bring the brownies that she left on the counter. I swear they always leave something so I have to go and help them. So I put my phone away and head to the shower to get ready.

After I get ready I have about 5 minutes before Liam will be here. I take the opportunity to check Facebook.

I look through my Facebook and see pictures from last night. I pray to god that I don't have an embarrassing drunk picture of me.

I scroll through the picture and see a ton of picture of Shane with a guy, Shane with another guy, Liam with Zita, pictures of other Hester high students and a staring contest between Shane and Lauren Cooper.

I don't remember Lauren being invited to Shane's party but in the picture it looks like Lauren is pissed at what ever Shane did.

Liam and I arrive downtown at my parent smoothie truck. The name of the truck is called Good Karma. My mom fell in love with that name so she had to name everything Karma.

I walk up to my parents and give them both a kiss on the cheek. I hand my mom her special brownies. Liam is behind me standing awkward. My parents aren't really fond of Liam. My dad has always told me that boys like Liam only want one thing and to never let him have that thing. When he first told me I was 10 but now I understand. I promise him that nothing is going on with us but my dad gives me that oh right look.

Liam attempts to hug my mom, which looks really awkward and then shakes my dads hand. My dad shakes his hand back and then walks to the truck without saying a word. My mom motions for me to join her. I wave bye to Liam and give him an apologetic look.

My mom grabs my arm and locks it with hers.

"Darling, I have some good news!"

"What is it?" I ask.

"We got someone to wear the Kale suit and give out flyers for our truck! You have to meet them. Sh-"

"Can I get a banana and Strawberry smoothie and make it a.s.a.p! I have places to go!" I hear a voice behind me. I turn around and see queen B herself. Lauren Cooper.

My mom just looks between us knowing our history and tells Lauren it will be out soon.

I walk into the truck and ring up the order. Lauren followed me to the truck and looked annoyed. I tell her the smoothie cost $5.50. She rolls her eyes.

"Don't I get a family discount"

I look around.

"UH no, family discount are for the family of the employees who works here." I tell her sternly.

She just stares at me and starts to smirk.

"Carmen, I know your IQ is 100 but I get the family discount so you better give it to me!" She exclaims like I am the idiot.

I look around to my mom and she nods yes. I roll my eyes and give Lauren the discount.

"$2.50" I simply say.

Lauren goes through her purse and hands me a $20. I roll my eyes. Obviously she doesn't need the discount. I take the bill and give her change.

"Oh by the way we are having a special today. First person of the day gets a free special brownie my mom made! I walk over to the brownies and open the container. I slice a square out of the brownie and put it on the plate. I hand it to Lauren and she looks at the brownie than me. I simply smile not regretting what I am doing. After she takes the brownie I tell her that her order will be out shortly. She just turns around and sits at the nearest bench taking a bite of the brownie.

As I watch her walk towards the bench I see the new employee who is in the Kale suit. I feel terrible for them. I am reminded of all the times I had to wear that suit, but whoever is inside of that suit is very lucky. When I wore it there wasn't anything to cover my face so everyone knew it was me! But for them they get to cover their face. I guess whoever was in the suit sees me and waves at me. I wave back and start to make Laurens drink.

I finish making Lauren's drink and head off to give it to her. As I walk out of the truck I see Shane and Liam walking towards me. I wave at them with my free hand not watching where I am walking.

I instantly feel a body bump into me and feel cold liquid spilling everywhere around me. I look down and see pink smoothie all over my self and all eyes on me. I am instantly embarrassed with Lauren smirking and Liam and Shane looking sorry for me.

I turn around and see Kale suit person standing there with their hands up in the air like they weren't apart of this mess. I give them narrow eyes and stand up. Before I realize what is going on I start to yell at them.

"Don't you watch where you are going? Are you dumb or something?" I yell.

I instantly regret what I just said. I look at Kale suit and they turned around and ran away. Now everyone eyes are on me again. I run towards smoothie truck and start crying. I am so embarrassed and I just embarrassed someone else. I am a shitty person.

I look up and see my mom standing over me with her hands on her hips. This usually means I am in trouble.

"Darling what happened, that is no way to speak to a new employee!" My mom exclaims.

I look down at my self and tug my wet shirt away from my body. My mom just looks at me and gives me a hug. She knows I have been embarrassed before and that it the worst feeling in the world.

My mom told me to go home and get some rest. Luckily Liam was already here so he took me home.
