The Coffee shop – Chapter 6
Fine… be that way
Richard got the job. He took Raven's one job of washing dishes, and Raven and Gar switched. So Tara and Kori were bussing, Richard was washing dishes, Raven was making the drinks and Gar was cashier.
On his first day Richard wore a pair of long denim shorts and a ringer with the sleeves ripped off. Murray wasn't impressed. He would probably have given him a job as the cashier if he had been wearing something sensible. But he wasn't.
"Good morning, Raven Roth," Richard came bursting into the kitchen, a week later.
"'Morning…" Raven said, monotonously, not even looking up.
"Ya know what? In the entire week that I have known you, I have yet to see you actually smile. I've seen forced smiles, but not real, true, honest smiles. Why?"
"None of your business. If you actually knew anything about me, you'd probably know why." She explained.
"Well then, tell me about you."
"No. You don't need to know."
"But I want to, Raven Roth, I want to know about you. Your life, your past. Why won't you tell me?" He said, exasperatedly.
"Why do keep calling me Raven Roth. No one else ever calls me by my full name."
"That's how you introduced yourself to me,"
۞۞۞
Furiously, Tara threw her wet rag on the table and wiped it clean.
All the good things always happen to people other than me. That hot guy, Richard, got pissed at me, and then saved Raven's life. Why couldn't it be me? She thought, angrily. He wouldn't even look at me before, but know he's flirting with her! What's she got that I haven't!
Common sense? Questioned a small voice in the back of her mind. Good looks, a serious attitude?
Serious? More like depressing! She yelled at the voice. And are you saying I'm ugly?
No, just saying she's prettier. Said the voice. And smarter, and cooler, and probably funnier.
GET OUT OF MY HEAD! She screamed.
Fine… be that way. The voice pouted, insulted.
۞۞۞
"Fine, be that way," Raven said, storming out of the kitchen.
"Hey, where are you…" Richard was cut off by the door closing.
Raven threw her smock into Garfield's face and started out the door.
"Raven?" he asked. "What 's wrong? Why are you leaving."
"Because your uncle hired a damn jackass to wash the dishes. He won't leave me alone." She explained.
"Raven," he said, walking over to her. "Tell me what happened." He hugged her, even though he was barely as tall as her shoulder. His green hair brushed her chin.
She made a surprised face, but then relaxed.
"Nothing… It was… I'm fine…" she said, taking back her smock.
"Wanna take over register, and I'll make the drinks?" he offered.
"I'm fine." She replied. And she smiled. A real, true, honest smile.
Hope you like it! Please review.
Oh, and if you didn't realize, that little voice inside Tara's head was that little voice that always tells you that everyone else is better than you...
