*LIPS POV*
I got detention for a week which I could honestly care less about, detention means actual quiet time to finish my work. And figure out a new way to make some money since my PSAT gig is a bust.
Before I head home I stop by Rae's work to see if she's okay. She ran off pretty fast earlier, and I wanna know why she hit Mitchell like that, I mean I applaud her because he's a dick but still I'm worried about her. She hasn't been herself lately.
I walk into the diner and see Rae serving a group of elderly people sitting in a booth by the window. I sit at a small table in the corner waiting until she is alone.
Suddenly I see that girl Amy she works with coming my way.
"Hey Lip! Missed you at the party the other night."
"Actually Amy I was there. You were just a little too trashed to remember. Huh?"
She purses her lips so tight you'd think they were sewn together. Amy's the sensitive type.
*RAES POV*
I'm talking to a few regulars when I notice Lip walk in and take a seat. Shortly after that Amy makes her way over to Lip.
Fuck
"Alright, well, I'll see you guys again next Tuesday?"
I wrap up with my regulars and speed over to Lip and Amy.
"Hey, Amy?"
"What Rae? I'm having a conversation with our friend Lip!" She bats her eyelashes at Lip but to her dissapointment he doesn't react.
"Amy. Fuck off"
Amy sighs and storms off to the back. She's still mad at me for leaving her at the party and to be honest I don't give a fuck.
I turn to Lip about to ask why he's here but before I can say anything he's already talking for the both of us.
"I wasn't in History today because I got into a fight with Mitchell. I heard you two got into a fight as well? What the fuck is up with that Rae?"
"Lip, I'm working!"
"Fine! I'll meet you at your place after work. I want an answer Rae."
"I'm off at 8. I should be home by 8:30 the latest." I say throwing my arms up in defeat. I didn't put up much of a fight because I'm too tired, and I don't want Lou to get mad.
"Alright."
Lip gives me a small stare before he turns to leave. I head to the back room where Amy is.
What the fuck did Mitchell tell him? What did Amy tell him?
"Amy! What the fuck did you say to Lip?"
"About what?"
"That fucking shit party?"
"I didn't say dick about that party, Rae! You're the one who left me there by myself because you can't have one night of fun! All you ever want to do is mope around about how sad your life is and how tired you are! I'm so fucking tired of it! I tried to help you lighten up and I don't even get a fucking thank you!"
"We weren't even at that party for 5 minutes before you ditched me for a group of guys you don't even know!"
Before I could continue the back door swings open and our boss Lou comes barging in.
"GIRLS! KEEP IT DOWN OR TAKE IT OUTSIDE! I'M TRYING TO RUN A BUSINESS HERE!"
That's Lou, the owner of the diner. He's very kind but very stern. He's your typical father figure in a story like mine.
We both go about our business and continue to work. The night goes by fast and it's now time for me to head home to deal with Lip.
What am I going to fucking tell him?
