The door sneered, its mouth awaiting the boy. Classical music played as several couples conversed in mild excitement behind it's goofy grin.
"You gonna go in?" Saga asked, pushing the door slightly.
"I…I can't do it." Onodera sniffled, pulling at the end of the maids uniform.
"Come on, you gotta. If we don't take this job, we won't find another one. They've all been taken and besides…" Saga's head whispered into Onodera's ear. "You look adorable as a girl."
A blush appeared behind the piles of makeup, the boy's mouth hung open to make a remark.
"I won't do it." Onodera sighed.
"Don't half ass this. You've already gotten this far, so grow a pair and get ready to serve."
Onodera's eyes blazed, invisible lasers finding their way through Saga's head. Saga made a stride through the door, confidence pooling behind him, leaving poor Onodera to slip through it.
"God damn you, I'm not half assing anything." Onodera wanted to growl, but instead cowered into the kitchen.
"Hey newbies, get out there and start taking orders." one of the bakers commanded. "It's easy, plus you won't need to carry huge trays to the customers tables."
"Yes ma'am." Saga smiled, eyes slanting slightly as he turned to Onodera. "Are you gonna keep following me around, or are you going to start working?"
Wanting to scream at the older teen, Onodera left the kitchen and froze in the main room.
"They could've informed us better on what to do. What do I do? Do I go up to a table, or do I wait at the door for customers?" Onodera lost thought as two people entered the room.
"Hey, Ritsu, do you know what to do?" Saga's teasing tone gone and worry eating at it.
"N…no." Onodera stuttered, blushing to the side.
"Here, lemme show you."
"Hello, I will be your server today. May I find you a table?" Saga marched to the customer, nearly jumping up and down in glee.
The two customers, girls, giggled and nodded while Onodera studied Saga's every move. Saga winked at Onodera, pulling out a chair for one of the girls and then the other.
"What would you two ladies like to drink?" Saga gleamed, the girls staring in awe.
"U…um, we'll take you…I mean water! Yes, water would be great. I like water, don't you?" one the girls babbled to hide the shame dusting her cheeks.
"Yes I do. I'll get you your water right away ladies." Saga flashed the white pearls and walked to Onodera.
"How'd you do that?" Onodera eyes widened.
"Back at home I have a part time job as a waiter. Since you're a girl, try to get the guy customers by waiting at the door for them," Saga informed the "student" with another smile. "After a little while, you have to come back and ask what they'd like to eat. If they don't know what to order, make a suggestion and if they still don't know, leave and attend to your other tables."
"T…thank you." Onodera returned the smile as two new customers came in.
"Anything for my favorite waitress." Saga muttered as the boy eyebrows knitted in determination.
I know this was really short, but I've been having some MAJOR writers block on this story. Sorry, but I'll try to post another (longer?) chapter next time. Thanks for reading so far and please, keep reviewing. I know where this story is going, but I'd enjoy some suggestions. Don't be angry if I don't choose any of them, but I need to some ideas. Love ya!
