EXTRAORDINARY WAY
CHAPTER 3
I was sitting in the cafeteria with an empty tray in front of me, tapping my finger on the wooden table, trying to be patient and hoping she would show up. Ella and two of my other friends already left after we finished our meal, leaving me alone in the table. I waited for Summer to show up but after ten minutes of nothing, Ella convinced me to just eat with them. I never gave up though, that's why I stayed after, still hoping she'll show up. Five minutes left before the bell and Summer's still a no show.
I sighed and was about to grab my stuff when suddenly Summer sat in front of me looking frazzled and hectic.
"Sorry I'm late, I had to take care of something." She said with an exasperated look on her face.
"It's okay." I blurted, surprised. Thank goodness she showed up, or else I'll look like a complete idiot asking a job from her yesterday for nothing. I was about to thank her for showing up but she hit over drive before I could talk.
"Look we have lots to talk about. I need you to give me a list of your schedule. We need to coordinate every free period we have. You're going to handle the transaction means. All those stuff that you said yesterday? Faxing, printing, sending messages, typing, handling the schedule and many more minor stuff." She opened her bag to give me a piece of paper. "This is my schedule. I leave school precisely at three on Tuesdays and Fridays. On the other days I leave at five due to student council meetings and other extracurricular stuff. After school I go to band practice in 5th avenue, everyday. I spent the rest of the day there managing the band up until six thirty. Then same goes for the rest of the days. I need you to always be on time, if you wanna do this you have to be early. I get here fifteen minutes before the class starts except on Mondays when I tend to be extra early. I'm also gonna be needing you to always have a notebook around. It's a minor thing that I always do, I always get tired of springing in and out a note book whenever I needed to write something down. But now I have you, so I won't be doing that anymore." Good god what have I gotten myself into? Summer said all that in a composed tone and composed expression. I on the other hand just nodded through and through.
"And don't worry, you don't have to be with me all the time. But I do need you during my student council meetings and at band practices. You said yesterday you don't do much after school, well now you are booked. And if you need time to focus on your own school projects, just tell me. I'm sure we can talk about a solution. Any questions?" Summer gave a tentative smile.
"Yeah, I got the Job?" Feeling stupid and right at the same time. She chuckled while grabbing a pen to write something down on the paper she gave me.
"From now on, you are my right hand." She stood up, grabbed her bag and once again smoothen her skirt before leaving. "See you after school." And like a pro she left right before the bell rang, did she organized the whole thing? I looked down on the paper to check her schedule and saw what she wrote on the upper left corner. Underneath her phone number was a neatly written Summer Hathaway.
I think I just gotten in over myself. But hey, she was right. All those free times I have, all those boring afternoons are over, I'm fully booked. It's nice to be booked once in a while. You get to have this feeling of great importance. I stood up from the table, looked down on my skirt and smoothen it too like what Summer did.
"Honey, aren't you going to class?" The lunch lady asked as I stared wide eye towards the empty cafeteria. Shit I'm late!
It's short, i know. But i'm kinda going for the feel of fluffiness. ^^ also when i read long stories my eyes kinda hurt. I prefer the short once but has many chapters, sooo that's kinda my goal. I cant wait for them to meet. =)
