It was now Wednesday and Sarah and Natalia wee going to start work tonight. Their hours were from 4:00-10:00. They were both dressed in khakis and black shirts, their uniforms. Sarah's hair was down as usual and Natalia's was up in a high ponytail.
"Your tables are numbers 1, 5, 7, and 8. You are hostess from 6:00- 7:00" The manager, Ryan, said to Sarah. He then looked to Natalia, "You have numbers 2, 6, 9, and 10 and you are hostess from 8:00- 9:00. Any questions?"
"Nope." Sarah said immediately.
"Nothing." Natalia agreed.
"Okay then, I'll leave you to get to work." He said going back to hosting, which he did from 4:00-6:00.
"Well, come on. Let's go screw this up." Sarah said to Natalia and the girls laughed.
Sarah walked up to her first table. "Hi, my name is Sarah, I'll be your waitress tonight. Can I start you off with something to drink?"
"CHOCOLATE MILK!" A little boy about Toby's age yelled. Sarah smiled and wrote it down in her book.
"I'll have a beer and a coke." The man said.
"I'll have a diet coke please." The woman said. Sarah didn't see why she wanted a diet, she was very thin, but either way she wrote down the orders in her book.
"Okay, I'll be right back out with your drinks." Sarah gave them a smile and turned. She noticed that Ryan was staring at her with a smirk on his face. Sarah thought he was just seeing how she was doing and smiled back at him before walking back to fill up the drinks.
When she came back with the drinks, she noticed Ryan watching her walk up the row with them and an uncomfortable feeling came over her. Ryan seemed to notice it and turned his head. Sarah thought that maybe she was just being paranoid, but something didn't seem right.
At 6:00, Sarah went over to take over as hostess and as Ryan was leaving, his hand grazed over her bottom. Sarah turned around immediately and Ryan was smirking at her. At this point she decided to stay away from him at all costs.
The rest of the night was full of tension, Sarah was sure that everyone could feel it. When she went home it was like walking into heaven.
"How was work?" Jareth asked when she walked in.
"Strange. Something is wrong with that boss of mine." Sarah said, eyes off into space.
"What do you mean something is wrong?" Jareth asked with a concerned look on his face.
"It's nothing. I'm probably just being me." Sarah told him zoning back in.
"No, tell me." Jareth told her.
"Jareth it's nothing." Sarah said, in reality, she was kind of embarrassed about what had happened.
"Sarah." Jareth's voice rose. He could see something was wrong with her.
"Jareth! It's nothing! Just drop it!" Sarah said waving her hands. Suddenly, a light that was on the table fell and broke with a loud CRASH! Sarah and Jareth both looked at it.
"Did you do that?" Sarah asked looking down at her hands. They were tingling, kind of how your hands feel when they fall asleep.
"No, I think you did." Jareth said, a smile pulling at his lips.
"How could I have done it? I don't have magic." Sarah said, eyes still on her hands.
"Do your hands feel weird?" Jareth asked going to stand next to her.
"Yeah, like they fell asleep or something." Sarah said looking up at him finally.
"That's what magic feels like." Jareth smile finally broke free. "I think the labyrinth is giving you magic."
"How can we be sure?" Sarah asked. Jareth smiled.
"Doctor time."
"Now way am I going back to that guy! He stuck me with a needle!" Sarah said shaking her head.
"Sarah, come on." Jareth pleaded.
"Nope." Sarah said simply.
"Sarah, I know this test. They put a number of different things on a shelf and ask you to do something to it. No blood involved." Jareth said with the pleading eyes that he knew would get her to do it.
"Are you sure?" She asked.
"Positive."
Authors Notes-
Another chapter!
Shadow Cat- I knew you were going to catch that! I wanted people to think something was a little weird about this guy and you will see why later. As for you doubting that Sarah and Shane would get punished for it, you have obviously never been to my old school. I'm not going to tell you which school because I don't want anyone going there to want to kill me, but I got suspended for a week just for doing what Sarah did. Matt, my other friend, did what Shane did and still he got in trouble. 'He shouldn't have been standing there. He should have went for help.' Yeah, his parents went off on the principal. I was going on a vacation that week anyway so my parents really didn't go off as much as they would have.
