A/N: Sorry for this fic being so screwy last night. I was in the process of updating it with the edited version I had written a while ago when my mother made me go to bed. Apparently, I was falling asleep at my screen XD. Traveling internationally really takes it out of you. Anyways, let me know what you all think of the edits! I'm on break from college now so I'm going to try to update/edit everything on my profile. We'll see how it goes!
Shiloh sighed, looking out over the empty dining area. It was Friday night and nobody was in the mood for pizza. Just end already so I can go, she thought.
She sighed. At least I'm finally done and over with that essay. She had turned it in this morning, barely on time.
Sure took a lot longer than I thought it would, she sighed, blowing a piece of hair out of her face. Guess I should clean the tables while no one's in here, she thought, reaching down to grab the cleaning supplies. As soon as she grabbed the surface cleaner the bell rang.
"Hi, welcome to Pizza Hut," she said, standing up. "Oh!" she cried, seeing who had walked in. It was Rex Racer and his brother Speed.
"Hello," she said.
"Oh hi! I didn't know you worked here," Rex said, the lie sliding like a brick off his tongue.
"Every weekend, and most weekdays," Shiloh deadpanned, deciding not to address the lie.
"Hey, you're the girl who did the paper on Rex!" Speed said.
"That's right. And you're the boy who slammed the door in my face," she said, giving him a look. Speed chuckled nervously as Rex looked down at him.
"You did what?" he said, his tone hard.
"It's okay. He thought I was an agent for one of the big sponsors trying to recruit you. You've got a first class manager Rex," Shiloh said, wiping off the counter with the rag.
"Maybe a bit overzealous of one too," he commented, giving Speed one last look before turning back to Shiloh.
"So, is tonight brothers in crime night or are you just picking up something to take home?" Shiloh asked.
"Brothers in crime night!" Speed said excitedly. "We just came from Thunderhead!"
"Ooh, fun. Not getting into too much trouble, right?" Shiloh said, winking at Speed.
"Right!" he said.
"Good. Now, what can I get you two racers?" Shiloh asked.
"How about a large pepperoni," Rex said, placing a hand on Speed's head.
"Racing sure works up an appetite, doesn't it?" Shiloh asked as she put in the order.
"It sure does!" Speed said. Shiloh smiled.
"So how's that paper coming?" Rex asked.
"Just turned it in today," Shiloh replied.
"You made Rex look good, didn't you?" Speed asked, lifting himself a little with the help of the counter to see over.
"I tried my best, but your brother sure didn't make it easy," Shiloh teased.
Speed laughed.
"Hey! I'll have you know I always look good, thank you!" Rex complained.
"Sure ya do. Which is why your hair is currently sticking out in five different directions and why you have an imitation French mustache painted on with grease," Shiloh countered. Rex's eyes went wide before he wiped a hand under his nose, noticing that it came away greasy.
"Speed!" Rex scolded.
"Whoops!" he said, laughing slightly. Rex rolled his eyes.
"Here you go. Your pizza should be done in a few minutes," Shiloh said, handing him a wipe.
"Thanks," he said, wiping his upper lip.
"So whatcha doing working here?" he asked as if he didn't already know.
"It's good money and they don't care that I'm only a freshman, so I can't complain," she said. Rex nodded.
"Large pepperoni!" a voice called out from the back. Shiloh walked back and took it, handing it to Rex.
"Here you go. Have a nice night you two," Shiloh said.
"Yum!" Speed said.
"Thanks, we will. I hope you get a good grade on that paper," Rex said.
"Thank you. Me too," Shiloh said. She watched as they walked out the door. Well, that was interesting, Shiloh thought, going to clean the tables.
Monday morning came and "A" shone in red ink on Shiloh's paper. She smiled. "Good work," her teacher said, before walking to the next student.
I wonder if Rex would be interested in a copy, Shiloh thought, smiling down at the paper. Maybe I'll send him one.
