You Deserve Better
Chapter 6
Lily took a sip of her Pepsi and placed it back on the cafeteria table she was sitting at.
"I can not believe this, I'm gone for like, two days or so and he's claiming that he's in 'love' with that stupid freak over there." Lily looked over where Yolei and Kari were, at their usual table laughing and joking like usual.
"She looks as if somebody poured grape juice all over her head or her hair stylist was high while doing her hair" Lily laughed.
"I don't think she even goes to a stylist" Another girl, Crystal, said.
"I'm going to end this, This Thursday. At the Valentine's Day Dance. Ken will be going out with me again. Like he should be. He will arrive with her, but leave with me" Lily smiled at her friends. "I have a plan that just might work..." Her friends moved in closer to hear her.
"What are you wearing to the dance?" Yolei asked.
"Don't know, do you? Kari said.
"Well, I have nothing, Wanna go to the mall after school?"
"Like I have anything better to do, besides anything is better than sitting at home with Tai" Kari laughed.
"We can't stay to long though, I work at seven."
At The Mall
"This One is cute, it suits you." Kari said picking up a small dark blue dress and showing it to Yolei.
"I don't look good in blue." Yolei said, she walked over to another rack of dresses, silently looking to find the perfect dress. She looked over at Kari, picking up a dress holding it up to her body staring at her reflection in mirror looking it over. She made a weird face then threw on top of the rack, grabbing another one, doing the same process as before.
Yolei flipped through the rack, pushing back dress after dress. Looked down at her watch. An hour and Fifteen minutes left to find a dress. She thought.
Kari walked over to Yolei holding a red dress in her hand.
Yolei looked up at her friend. "Finally decided on a dress?" Yolei asked looking back down at the dresses.
"No, not yet. But you have to try this on, it would look good on you".
Yolei looked at the dress, it was a red long dress, that would probably reach her ankles, two slits that would reach her knees, and it had spaghetti straps,
"Ken would probably like it." Kari said handing the dress to Yolei.
"Fine, I'll try it on." Yolei said heading towards the change rooms.
Seven minutes later
"Come on Yolei, I wanna see how it looks." Kari yelled to Yolei , who refused to come out of the change room.
"No. I looks stupid." Yolei yelled back staring at her reflection in the mirror
"Come on, it can't look that bad, after all I was the one how picked it out, it should look great"
"Fine, But you can not laugh, if you do, I'll kill you and tell TK you missed the dance because you went on vacation." Yolei walked out of the small change room.
"Yolei, you look great. You should buy it." Kari said as soon as she got a good look at her.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes I'm sure."
Yolei went back into the change room, changed back into her jeans and black button up shirt, she walked over to Kari, who was repeating the same process as she did earlier.
"Now all we have to do is find a dress for me" Kari said holding up a dress.
Yolei sighed. " This could take a while" She said smiling.
"Shut up" Kari laughed.
Yolei walked into the restaurant, she was fifteen minutes early. It was busy, which was surprising since it was Monday.
Ken came up to Yolei and kissed her. "I am so glad you came early, Katie and Jake called in sick, so we all have extra tables, which wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't so busy, I want to put that subject aside for just a second, Did you find a dress yet?"
"Yeah, I found a dress, its at my house and you can't see it until Thursday" Yolei smiled.
"The sheet is over there, it says who has what tables, we're on close-up so we can talk later" He said, kissing her on the cheek before running back into the kitchen.
Yolei walked over to the counter. "Hi Sarah." She said to the girl at the register as she looked over the sheet, seeing which tables she had tonight.
'Hi Yolei." The girl said quickly as she got change out of the register and passed to the man in front of her. " Go to table six and four, for me, I'm busy over here" she said.
Yolei walked over to table six, only to see Lily and her friends sitting there.
Oh great, this is the last thing I need. She thought.
"About time we got some service." Lily said in her usual perky, but irritating voice.
Yolei got her notepad and pencil out of her pocket. " What would you like?"
Ken watched Yolei he could tell that she was getting annoyed by the girls kept changing their mind about what they wanted to order,
Yolei walked into the kitchen .
"Its really busy today" Yolei said passing the order to Matt.
"I noticed" Matt said as he looked over the order.. "What's with all the eraser marks?"
"Lily and her friends kept changing their orders to annoy me"
"Lily? That's the girl Ken broke up with to be with you, right?" Matt asked.

"Yes, I love the sound of that " Yolei laughed.
Yolei walked out of the kitchen and over to the table, where Lily and her friends were sitting passed out the drinks. As soon as Yolei walked over to the table, Lily hung up a small silver cell phone, as if she didn't want Yolei to hear something.
Yolei walked over to Ken and placed her head on his shoulder. "when will this night be over?" She complained.
Ken looked up at the clock . "In an hour and a half, but we're on close-up"
"I need a break" Yolei complained.
"Then take a break" Ken said, he saw a customer enter the restaurant. "After you take care of that customer" He said sorting out a bunch of cheques.
"You're so mean to me." Yolei laughed.
Yolei walked over to the table, where a blond haired boy was sitting.
"What would you like?" She asked.
"Hi Yolei" He said
