Sakura groaned as she plopped herself onto the seat. A pale shivering Ino sat across from her, permanently glued to the green tea latte that was rested in her hand.
There had been a cat, and Sakura had swerved to avoid hitting it. In doing so, she…
1. Ran over three trashcans.
2. Almost crashed into three pedestrians
3. Gave Ino three whiplashes
Ino had staggered off and ran into the safety of the seats, as far away from Sakura's motorcycle as possible.
Sakura sighed and buried herself into her taro milk tea and shaved ice. She glanced over to the window, watching Tenten and Hinata jump off of Tenten's motorcycle.
Ino waved at them and Hinata waved back shyly. They both walked into the café, Tenten pausing to look at something.
Sakura raised an eyebrow before getting Hinata a Honey-Dew Melon boba tea and three sticks of dango.
As Hinata and Ino chatted away. She walked over to where Tenten was.
"We need the money." Tenten pointed to the browser, with a Help Wanted! Sign.
Sakura sighed and did a quick calculation. Ino spent approximately $200 on shopping trips, and Hinata liked to spend $60 for baking. Tenten needed new weapons, which would cost at least $1000, and they still needed money for food, clothes, and paying the bills.
The money that Tenten got from the underground fighting arena, paid for all their bills, and Sakura with her fights, paid for all of the girl's needs, but Sakura needed to pay for the school tuition.
Sakura groaned and nodded. She ushered Tenten to the table before walking up to the cashier again.
The cashier was a middle-aged man with dark, curly black hair and black eyes with red flecks. His name tag read Shisui. Sakura stopped and stared... It was him.
Shisui looked at her and faltered but reading the look in her eyes he plastered on a smile and treated her like a normal person.
He smiled at her and waved. "Hey, you read our Help Wanted sign right?"
Sakura nodded enthusiastically. She gave him thumbs up. "Yup, just wanted to see if I could get a job here. Do you know when I could get an interview?"
Shisui chuckled lightly. "Actually, since we're a bit short on staff, you get the job right away, but you have to send me your credibility online."
Sakura nodded, and grabbed her phone. He read it over before glancing at his phone, it was three, o'clock, which meant that school was out for the day.
He smiled again before pouting slightly. "Uhm, actually, could you start right now, this is usually the rush hour, and well as you can see…" He gestured around the room. "I'm the only one serving right now…"
Sakura blinked slowly before glancing at her table. "Hold on, let me check with my friends and see if it's alright."
She ran over to them in a blink of an eye and Shisui noticed that the blonde was pouting at her. The bun girl rolled her eyes before pushing her out of the cubicle and the violet haired girl just gave her a sweet smile.
She appeared before him, and held out her hand. "They said yes!" She squeaked.
Sakura put on the apron Shisui gave her and looked around the café, getting the hang of things.
She would take the orders at every table, and Shisui would make the drinks.
Right on cue, the bell rang, signaling that someone was coming. It turned out to be Karin and her slut group.
Sakura groaned and rolled her eyes but tiredly walked over to their table. In her best and most friendly voice she could muster, she opened her mouth.
"Hi, my name is Sakura and I'll be taking your order today, have you guys decided what to drink?" She gave them a 'fake' sweet smile and took out her notebook and pencil.
Karin sniffed haughtily. "I will take the mocha latte and your mochi." She smirked at Sakura.
Sakura gritted her teeth but kept the fake smile on. "Oh, and what about your friends?"
One of them, looked at the door, and gave whoever came in, a flirty look. She sneered at Sakura, and then said. "I'd like their phone numbers."
Sakura glanced over and groaned. It was some of her classmates, and she was too dang tired to deal with them.
From her peripheral vision, she saw Ino and Sakura laughing lightly at something Tenten said.
Sakura glanced at the girl and gave her a condescending look.
"Sorry, we only serve food, not phone numbers…"
One of the people snickered, hearing what she had said.
Fan girl turned red with embarrassment and anger before glaring at Sakura venomously.
When the rest on the table had ordered, Sakura brought her notepad to Shisui.
He smirked at her and gestured to her friend's table. "They've been glaring at your back for 20 minutes, you might need to see what they need…"
Sakura groaned in exasperation before trampling to her friends.
Ino glared at her and pointed a finger in Sakura's face. "You didn't say that we would be here for more than 30 minutes…!" She hissed.
Sakura groaned again and shoved her to the side. "Ino- pig, I need the money. Do you know how much money, you like to spend when shopping?"
Ino had the decency to look ashamed, just a bit.
Hinata squirmed in her seat. Sakura glanced over to her concerned, but Hinata turned red and stuttered. "S-Sorry i-if my b-baking items a-are t-t-too exp-pensive, I don't h-have to but a-anymore…"
Tenten gasped in horror dramatically. "Noooooooo!" She wailed loudly. Everyone in the café glanced at her.
Tenten dropped to her knees and grabbed Hinata's hands. "Please please please! Never stop baking… It's your treats that get me through the day!"
Ino snorted at Hinata's face, almost as red as a tomato. "Tenten, you are such an ambivert."
Tenten scowled at her. "And what's that supposed to mean…?"
Sakura cut in. "It's when your and introvert with others, and an extrovert with your friends." Ino cut in. "Not friends, sisters…"
Tenten glared at both of them playfully. "Sakura, less science words, and Ino, you and I are going shopping next week."
Sakura gasped in mock horror. "OH NOOOOO! Tenten asking, no demanding to go shooooping… the world must have ended!"
Tenten scoffed at Sakura's antics. "Boohoo Sakura, your boss needs you to do your job!"
Sakura jumped and rushed back to Shisui. "Sorry, my friends are a bit-." She let out a hasty cough looking back at the arguing table, with Hinata trying to be the mediator. "-Strange…"
Shisui smirked and ruffled her hair, dodging her incoming fist.
He handed her the slut- Uh, I mean Karin's table's orders.
Sakura grabbed the tray and maneuvered herself around the tables. When she was about to get to Karin's table, the slutty fan girl set out her leg to trip her.
Sakura saw it in slow motion. With a quick flip of her wrist, she tossed the tray with all the drinks in the air, jumping over the offending appendages, and grabbed all of the orders in less than three seconds flat without even breaking a sweat.
With the entire café gaping at her, she set the order on Karin's table and turned on her fake smile at them, with a hint of sadistic tendencies lurking beneath it.
"Enjoy, your orders." And with that, she turned heel and marched over to a gaping Shisui.
He glanced at her with wide eyes. "WHOA! Howdya do it?"
Sakura merely gave him a wink and a cheeky smirk. She placed her hands on her hips and put a finger on her lips. "Shhhh. It's a secret…"
