Riella and Martha followed Mr. Fulton out into the kitchen. He showed them around the kitchen and told them where to go. Martha over toward the cooking area, while Riella was told stay in the middle of the kitchen with some of the other waiters.
Mr. Fulton went around the corner and came back with Troy, Chad, Zach, and Zeke. Troy, Chad, and Zach each had an apron in their hands.
"Miss McKessie, I have heard that you are very efficient," Taylor blushed,"Prove it! You are in charge of member activities. Keep me in your sight at all times." Taylor nodded her head.
"Kelsi! Piano at lunchtime and cocktail hour. That mean mood music, not new music. Got it?" Kelsi nodded her head with wide eyes.
"Riella! You are a waitress for the pool area. You will bring them drinks when requested and any snacks the guests want. You understand?" Riella nodded and walked away from him.
"Martha. Chopping, cutting, preparing plates. Do complete the summer with the equal amount of digits that you started with." Martha gave him a weird look before starting her job.
"He means fingers, right?" Zach asked as Taylor and Riella nodded their heads.
"Oh, Zeke," Mr. Fulton laughed when he saw Zeke behind him,"You will be assisting Chef Michael in the-"
"Promise Land." Zeke interrupted, happy about cooking.
"You hold on to this." Mr. Fulton handed Zeke a chef's hat.
"Uh, Mr. Fulton, uh, would it be it okay if we draw straws to see who has to wait on Sharpay?" Chad asked nervously.
"Please, none of you will be waiting on Sharpay." Everyone breathed in relief for a moment.
"You will be serving Miss Evans." Everyone groaned except for one of them.
"Uh, who's that?" Jason asked.
"You must always address our members as Mr., Mrs., or Miss." Mr. Fulton said, "Let's practice, "Miss Evans, would you care for a lemonade?"
"Actually, I'm not Miss Evans, I'm Jason." Everyone groaned again.
The door opened and Gabriella walked in.
"It smells so good in here and I am so hungry. What's for lunch?" Gabriella asked as everyone told her to leave.
"Miss Montez, it would seem that your lunch break doesn't start for another three-point-five minutes," Mr. Fulton looked at his watch, "I do hope that no members drowned during your absence."
"Henceforth, do clock in and out on time. Three infractions of any kind and your employment here will be terminated. Understand?" Everyone nodded again, but in slight terror this time.
Mr. Fulton nodded, pleased with himself, and left with a, "Chop, chop, chop."
"That man officially scares me." Martha said as Taylor nodded and walked away. Riella walked over to where she left her white visor, Zach standing there. Riella quickly leaned on him.
"Suddenly, I'm beginning to miss detention with Ms. Darbus." Chad said coming forward.
"Me, too." Riella admitted.
"Come on guys, we have a hoop out back, two free meals, and we only have to wear these stupid outfits on duty. All for one and one for all. All right? This is our summer. Now, what team?" Troy said with an upbeat attitude.
"Wildcats!" The group except Chad responded.
"What team?" Troy yelled.
"Wildcats!" The group including Chad exclaimed.
The door that Fulton went out of, had opened again. Every kid scrambled back to their areas.
"I'll send the waiters right out." Troy was writing something as Chad and Zach stood across from them. Riella stood next to them waiting for more instructions on the way to the pool area.
Troy had written "Let's go!" and Chad and Zach picked up serving trays and followed Troy out to the dining room. Mr. Fulton nodded in their direction and then looked at Riella.
"Miss Cruz, if you may follow me, please." It wasn't a question, it was a demand. Riella followed without hesistation, only to glance back at the girls for a moment
"Miss Cruz, the drink bar is over here and you'll have to go to the outdoor kitchen that is over there for the snack food." Mr. Fulton pointed to the stations that were on opposite sides of the pool area.
"I hope that you will like working here, Miss Cruz. Remember that your lunch break is at two-thirty today."
Riella nodded her head and kept her snide comments to herself. After the incident during the whole Winter Musicale auditions, Riella has kept her comments around certain people. Mr. Fulton was one of those certain people.
The next day was almost exactly the same as before. After a few hours of working, Riella went into the kitchen, grabbed whatever she could for lunch. Zach and Chad came in soon after.
"Hey, Ri." Chad said as he sat down.
"Hey." Riella said as Zach kissed her on the cheek.
"Did you hear what Troy is doing?" Chad asked.
"No, I didn't, Chad. I'm outside all day, how could I possibly know what Troy is doing?" Riella tried to keep her sarcasm in check.
"I forgot, sorry." Chad smiled.
"It's fine." Riella smiled back, "Anyway, what's Troy doing?"
"He's planning on taking Gabriella on a romantic picnic on the golf course when they both get off today." Zach informed.
"Isn't that a little risky? She got in trouble the first day for going to her lunch break three minutes early." Riella asked. Why would Troy risk their jobs for a date?
"Yeah, but they shouldn't be caught because the golf course will be closed." Chad answered.
Riella nodded her head as she took a bite of one of her French fries.
Later in the evening when Riella and the other girls were changing out of their work clothes, Gabriella came in with soaking wet hair.
"Whoa, what happened to you?" Taylor asked
"Troy and I were out on the golf course when the sprinklers came on. It was a bit of a surprise, but we started dancing in it. Mr. Fulton came out there and I got an infraction, while Troy only got a warning."
"Are you freaking serious?" Riella was a little mad.
"Yeah."
"Why did Troy only get a warning?" Martha questioned as Kelsi went and got a towel.
"I don't know, but I feel like Fulton is out to get me." Gabriella eventually said as she dried her hair.
"Or a certain blonde is making him do it." Taylor suggested.
"It's possible." Riella agreed as she took her hair down from its high ponytail.
"I'd rather not talk about it. I'm going to go change." Gabriella got her clothes and went into the restroom.
"I feel like Sharpay had something to do with." Riella said as soon as the door closed.
"I know she did it, but I can't prove it." Taylor said.
Two phones went off.
"That's my mom. I've gotta go." Taylor said as she gathered up her things.
"That's Dad. I'm leaving, too." Kelsi added.
"Bye." Martha and Riella chorused as the two girls left.
"You should pull a prank on Sharpay, Ri." Martha suggested.
"And actually risk getting fired? No, thanks."
"Why not? What about the pranks you pull at school and you never get caught?"
"That's it. They never catch me. Here, they can." Riella laughed.
Gabriella came out.
"Ready to go, Gabi?" Riella asked, getting her stuff together.
"Yeah." Gabriella replied. She got her bag and followed Riella to her car and they left.
AND I'M BACK! Hello, lovelys, I missed y'all.
And I'm sorry that I haven't updated in a while.
I GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL! With honors, I might add.
I've been pretty obsessed with High School Musical because on the day of my graduation, my little brother put on High School Musical 3: Senior Year.
I didn't cry, I promise! (Just kidding, I teared up.)
Anyways, I promise to update as soon as I can. It will most likely be in 2 weeks because I'm going to California for my graduation trip.
-May the Force be with You
Megara the Jedi!
