I sighed to myself. Knowing how this little "vacation" would go down: My mom had to start on her newest case while I at least try to make friends and stay away from the paparazzi.
Trust me, its not an easy thing to do when your mom is the world famous detective, Katrina Grayson, and I'm just her daughter who knows how to fight, but nobody ever cares about Monica Grayson except for my dad. I've never been able to visit him all because of the divorce that forced me to stay with my mother. And I hate it so much! Sometimes I wish I could be with my father again.
Which I am, only on computer, I only chat with dad on the computer while my mom is busy on some case. Usually my mom's cases took at least three to four days. So I may never be able to see the friends I made again, not like I have any. I've never really made any friends at all.
The only person whom I call a friend is dad. But he's been super busy lately for some reason. So I can't seem to get a chance to talk to him through skype. At least I can talk to people with my new job at a froyo place. I was the waitress. I saw five people come in, they looked to be my age.
Sure, the three guys who were with those two girls were cute. But the red shirt caught my attention. Now, he was hot. But, due to my lack of social skills, I knew it wouldn't be a good idea to just try and ask him out or something. Sighing in defeat. I walked over to the five of them. "Welcome to Froyo Swirl, how may I help you?" I asked. The girl with black hair asked for a strawberry froyo with a cherry on top, the blonde requested for a lemon blitz, green tee ordered a lime twinkie, the blue tee asked for a plain blueberry. After I wrote all of their orders, I ignored the red tee hottie and was about to walk off until: "You forgot me." I turned to see him.
He had a very stoic face. "Sorry, what would you like?" I asked. Trying my best to not look into his eyes. "I'll just have a vanilla froyo with some chocolate." He answered. My cheeks turned red. That was my favorite type of froyo too, now I was really hoping he wouldn't- "And, could you add some sprinkles?" Dang! I wrote the last part. I wished I was wearing a hat. "Umm... C-coming right up!" I said. Walking into the kitchen to give out the orders.
(Jayden's P.O.V)
"Jay, did you see the way that girl was looking at you?" Mike asked me. "Yeah, I think she likes you." Em added. Wrapping her arms around Mike's left arm. "You should go talk to her. She seems pretty." Mia said. Kevin draped an arm around her. "Guys, you know I can't." I told them. "I have too many responsibilities to have to deal with liking a girl." Mike rolled his eyes.
"Man, your worse than Kevin!" He groaned. "Hey!" Kevin gave him a look. "Its true." Mia remarked. "It took you a month to finally ask me out." She reminded him. He started to blush.
"Anyway, maybe you can ask for her phone number?" Em said. Ever since the others started going out with each other, I've spent my time just training to improve my skill in battle. "I don't know what to say." I told them. Noticing that the girl was coming right back to our table.
"Here you go." She said. Handing us all of our orders. Including mine this time. She grabbed the tray and was about to walk away from us until Mike opened his mouth. "Hey!" She turned. "Oh no, did I mess up?" She asked worried. I could sense that this hasn't been the first time she's acted like this. "Never mind him," I told her. "He's an idiot." At this, she laughed. The others laughed too, except for Mike, who pouted like he was a five year old.
"All right, is there anything else I can get for you?" She asked. "Your number." Mike fake coughed. She blushed. "Umm, you guys seem nice and all but... I won't be here for long." She said. "So, you'll only be here for the summer?" Mia asked her. "Well... Something like that." She replied. Walking away from our table to go to the one next to us.
I turned my head to give Mike a look. "What? I had a cough?" He said. Acting innocent. "Your paying." I told him. "How about, the last person in here pays?" He smarted. Soon the others started eating their froyo's rather quickly. I refused to let them beat me. So I started eating my froyo quickly too.
Mia and Emily were the first to finish, they waited for us to finish also. I finished mine before Mike and Kevin did. I was about to leave but: "You forgot something." Mia said. I wondered what she meant when I saw that I somehow left my wallet where I was seated. I went to go get. Only to have to be the one to pay since Mike and Kevin, along with Emily and Mia, all left. Dang, they tricked me! Which left me with the girl.
"So, your paying?" She asked me. I turned to her, giving her a soft smile, but looking at her up close, she did seem rather beautiful with her dirty blonde hair in a ponytail and those ocean blue eyes. I seemed to get lost in not only their beauty, but also how much sadness and pain she went through. How people just saw her, but they didn't want to get to know her some more, just pretending that they knew her well. I felt bad for her. No one should have to be like that, ever.
"Um... Are you ok?" I was out of my thoughts, looking down to see her name, Monica, what pretty name. "Yeah, are you all right?" I asked her. She gave me an odd look. "Umm... Yeah... I guess..." She said. "Ok then." I said. "How much?" I added. "Depends, cash or credit?" She replied. "Cash." I said. "$7. 50," She told me. I handed her the money, and some extra change.
She counted the money, "I think you gave me too much." She said. About to give it back to me before I stopped her. "Don't." I said. Putting my wallet back into my pocket and walking away.
(Monica's P.O.V)
After he left I blushed, I felt like a darn fool! I never even got to know his name. Maybe fate will bring us back together. Oh who am I kidding? Fate is never on my side, and that one time when I thought it was. It turned out to be too good to be true!
"Monica? You all right?" I turned around to look at Keke. "Sorry, just, this guy..." I blushed some more. "You talking about that guy with the red shirt?" She laughed. "Why would he waste his time on some weirdo like you?" I sighed. She was right. "Obviously, he belongs with me." Keke added. "And what better way than using you as bait to lure him to me?" My eyes widened. "Your kidding, right?" I asked nervously.
"Nope, now lets go." She dragged me out of the place to go look for that cute guy again...
