Hi! Sorry! It's been a while since I've posted. I keep debating on
this chapter. I'm not exactly sure if I like it one hundred percent. We
will see how it turns out now.
"Well this will be interesting," thought Hermione. "Especially with Matt." Sarcasm. Ha.
"You're late." Said Matt as she walked behind the counter. Not yet realizing Matt was a total goofball, she began to apologize.
"I am? Oh! I'm sorry! It won't happen again. I didn't realize how long it
would-"
"Relax! Relax!" said Matt laughing. "I'm only joking." Hermione had the sudden urge to throw something at him. That was the second time he had tricked her, and only the second time they had met! Yet somehow, he already seemed to know her personality.
Attempting to hide her embarrassment, Hermione spoke. "So, Mr. Manager, are you suppose to show me how to work everything?"
"Oh, right! Well, here," he said with a grand pause, "Is the blender. And when you press this button," He pressed the button. "Voila! It magically turns on. But! When you press this button," Another grand pause. "It turns off. See? On. Off. On. Off." Hermione rolled her eyes. This guy was a load of help. Matt watched as she looked at him angrily. "You'll catch on easily. Don't worry." He good-naturedly patted her on the back as he walked by her. He took a seat on the counter, and began to playfully throw an empty cup up and down.
Hermione didn't say anything, and kept her thoughts to herself. If she was going to work with this guy, she knew she had to say something, but she didn't. Matt wasn't the hard worker, the desirable coworker, she had hoped for. She sighed and took her place at the counter.
"You don't have to stand there, you know." Said Matt not taking his eye off of the empty coffee cup he was tossing. "There aren't going to be customers."
"I'm sure there will be at least one."
"Nope. We do have the occasional ditcher from the high school, but seeing as school is nearly out around here, that's not likely. Most of the businesses are downtown and they go to the mega Starbucks down there. At least during this time of the day." Hermione gave him a disbelieving look. "Seeing as I've worked her for a few years, and you've worked here for a grand total of. nine minutes, I most likely know what I'm talking about. Besides, if by chance a customer does come in, you can just walk to the cash register. So, relax."
Hermione gave in. It wasn't that she didn't want to sit down, but she just didn't feel right getting paid to sit. After a moments silence, Matt began to easily make conversation with Hermione.
"So'd you find an apartment?"
"Yep! At Manchester Apartments, where you said to look."
"Great! So I'm guessing you're renting since you're just here for the
summer."
"Yeah."
Matt paused for but a moment. "So who's the guy?"
"What do you mean who's the guy?"
"I mean, who's the guy? The one you're running from. The one you're trying
to forget."
It was like he could read her mind. Was the expression in her face that obvious? "What?" Hermione tried to laugh. "Why do you think I'm running from some guy?"
"Let me count the ways. Number one, you just got out of school, which ties
into number two, you've taken a summer job at Starbucks which ties into number three, you just temporarily moved into a somewhat small town where
you know no one."
"How do you know I don't know anyone? Maybe I'm here to visit my aunt."
"Well are you?"
"No."
"Exactly. Besides, why would you rent an apartment if you were here to
visit someone for the summer?"
"Ok, but why does it have to be because of a guy?"
"Because there has to be a guy. There always is."
Hermione tried to laugh away her insecurity. "Ok, fine. Don't tell me now! Eventually you will. Eventually." Hermione rolled her eyes not knowing how right Matt would be.
Ok, sorry, I know it wasn't very good a bit sudden. But now, we're starting to get into the better chapters. The ones I really like. In fact, I think there are only four chapters left. It depends on how I divide it. Wait, no most likely five or six more chapters. Well, pleeeease review and tell me what you think! I'll post as soon as I get reviews! Oh, and sorry to bug, but please check out my other stories too! Bye! And thanks again for reading!
