Garfield walked silently down the side walk, his hands stuck in his jean pockets, trying to find something to do. He had already unpacked into his new apartment, watched two episodes of the justice league, drunk five cans of diet soda and used the bathroom 4 times. Was there anything to do in this town? Garfield walked along the concrete, turning his head at every building, and reading the signs. Weeding cake shop? No. Pet store? Nah, he already had a dog. Book store? No way was he going to go in there and…read. Just the though made Garfield shudder.
Garfield stopped at the end of the street and waited for the cars to stop passing by. While he waited he turned his head to see the last store. It was small shop, with a sign that simply said, "Coffee shop". Garfield didn't like coffee, but maybe that had pie!
When Garfield entered the store, he took a seat on one of the chairs that were high up. There weren't many people in the shop, there was an old couple dinking coffee, some guy doing the cross word puzzle in the paper, and some girl in the far corner. In front of him was a lady, about his age, turned around, seeming to be making some coffee. He began tapping his fingers on the marble counter top, which obviously got his attention, because she let out a small scream and turned around quickly.
The woman was long fiery red hair and sparkly green eyes. She was wearing a pink T-shirt and a white apron with a red name tag on it that said KORI in bold letters. "I'm sorry, I'm just so used for it to be quiet in here! How are you today? What can I get you? Do you like your coffee black?" Kori started asking Garfield many questions one after another, not giving him a chance to even reply.
Finally, after asking a question about forks, Kori stopped to take a breath. "Okay, could you slow down a bit, please?" Garfield asked, having scooted back in his chair to back away from Kori.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Sometimes, I just do that. What can I get you?" She asked pulling the pen out from behind her right ear and pulling the pad of paper from her apron pocket.
"Well, I'm new here, so I don't really know what's on the menu. I wondering you had pie." Garfield answered.
"Yea, I knew I hadn't seen your around before, and I never forget a face. And Yes! We do have pie. We have Lemon walnut pie, lemon strawberry pie, lemon blueberry pie, Blueberry pie, blueberry walnut pie, Pickle pie, Pickle lemon pie, orange pie, orange strawberry pie, super fruity pie and strawberry pie." Kori took another large breath after finishing the list of the top of her head.
"uh…" Garfield said. "I've never heard of pickle lemon pie before."
"So you want that! One slice of pickle lemon pie! You know, we don't really get to many order on our pickle lemon pie, I guess it's because-" Kori exited a door into the kitchen before Garfield could explain that Pickle lemon pie seemed like the grossest thing he had every heard of and that he really just wanted plain old strawberry pie.
Garfield turned his head to the rest of the shop. The old couple, as well as the man doing the cross word had somehow left within that few moments whenever he was talking to Kori. All that was left was the girl in the corner. There was something very peculiar about her. It probably was because she had purple hair. It was short purple hair, tightly pulled into a small ponytail, exposing her small ears and star shaped earrings. She was holding a book in her hands, and she had a mug of something next to her on the small table. The girl had pale skin, almost ghost like. When she put down her book and turned her head slightly, picking up her tea and sipping it, Garfield noticed she had wearing thing framed black glasses over her sparkly purple eyes.
"Well, here you go." Garfield heard Kori's voice again. When he turned his head saw that pie, he almost died. It was the most disgusting thing he had ever seen in his entire life. "By the way, I never caught your name, mine's Kori."
"Uh…Garfield." He answered, still partially grossed out from the pie that had just been placed in front of him.
"Interesting name…" She said, turning around to continue making her coffee.
"Hey, what can you tell me about that girl over there?" Garfield asked, picking up his fork, and beginning to poke his pie.
"Who? Oh, you mean Raven!" She said turning around. "She comes in everyday and orders the same thing than sits at that very table and reads a book."
"Oh." He said. "Is she nice?"
"Yes, but she doesn't talk much." Kori said, now leaning on the counter across from Garfield. "why do you ask?"
"Oh, I don't know, there's something about her." Garfield answered.
He was about to say something more, but Kori suddenly screamed and ducked to the floor. Startled, Garfield leaned over. "What are you doing?"
"Richard is coming!" She answered. "He works in the sporting goods store down the street. He comes in once in a while. When I see his face, I, I just don't know what to say!"
Garfield turned his head just as Richard entered the shop. He took a seat one chair away from Garfield and waited patiently for Kori to show up.
Quickly Kori jumped up from behind the counter, startling Richard. "Hi! What can I get you? Oh duh, this is a coffee shop! You probably want just black coffee right? Not that I spy on you or anything, but I remember from the last time you came, it was this time last week! I mean, not that I would remember it or anything, but…" Kori paused and sighed. "I'll get your Coffee. Black right? To go?"
Richard nodded. Garfield turned around to see that the girl from the corner had just left. Maybe, he would come this time tomorrow…
