It was early the next morning and Ceylan and his family are back in the car, from a hotel they stayed at over night, heading towards Seaside City. Ceylan was told right before they got in that they should be arriving in a few hours and he could not wait.
"Just a few more hours." He said in his excitement. He was particle jumping up and down in the car. His parents even said that he needed to calm down. He did but his excitement did not fade. Now he just had to wait passionately till they arrived.
Meanwhile Melody just got a call that morning that caused her to jump.
"Hello?" She said once she picked up the phone.
"Melody! Get back here! We need your help!" Said a very loud voice that actually woke up Violet.
"What was that?" Violet asked in surprise when she heard the loud voice.
"Sorry. It appears my mom and dad need help at the restaurant. Should have expected this after all it is summer." Melody said to her still very tired friend.
"Melody!" Said the loud voice again.
"OK. OK. Be there in a minute." Melody said to the panicking voice. Then she hung up her phone. She then looked at Violet and said, "Sorry. I guess we have to wait for our fun day."
Violet gave a weak smile and said, "It is fine. You need to help your…" she gave a yawn. "…family."
"Right. Well…I will be heading out and you just sleep in a little longer." Melody said. Violet didn't answer but she did go straight back to sleep. She was obviously still very tired. Melody giggled at how fast she fell back to sleep and got ready to leave.
She put on her white shirt and denim vest, then her black leggings with a denim skirt over it, after she put on her brown boots and lastly tied her hair in a low up and down ponytail. Once she was ready she got another call. "Melody! Hurry up!" that was all it said before it hung up again.
"I better get going." Melody said running out the door.
She ran as fast as she could, which was fast, to her families restaurant. Her family owned a very popular restaurant. Her mom was the owner and her dad was the top chef and everyone seemed to love his food. However because they are so popular the restaurant would often get packed during the summer. It got like this every year and most of the people that go there during the summer were tourists.
"I wish those people would find some other place to eat." Melody complained. "I really don't want to work today." However she knew full well she had too.
On her way she had to turn many corners and in her rush she accidently ran into someone and they both fell. "OW!" Said a male voice.
Melody was rubbing her head because of the crash and didn't see who she hit immediate. "I am so sorry. I am in a rush and didn't…" she looked up and saw a blue haired boy with goggles on his head.
She was stunned because he looked so familiar, but she couldn't remember from where. "It's fine. I hope you're not hurt." Said the boy.
Melody snapped out of it and said, "No I am fine. I was…" she then remembered what she was doing. "OH…I am in a rush." She ran past him and turned back. "Sorry about that but I am in a hurry." She ran so fast she didn't even hear if he said anything else.
"What was thought about?" The blue haired boy said to his parents.
"Don't know Ceylan. Guess she had something important to do." His father said.
"Oh well. So when can we go have fun?" Ceylan asked.
"After we check in." His father said. After that they walking into the hotel to check in.
Melody just made it to the restaurant and like she thought they were packed. Every set was taken and apparently they were low on staff for now.
"Good. You're here. Go to the back and help out there please." Said the cashier.
"Sure thing." Said Melody who was not looking forward to this day. She went to the back and like always she did dishes. Since she was still young her parents had her help with dishes and clean up but not much else. If they weren't busy she would take orders but because it was busy she was in the back.
"I wish I could be up front." Melody said while she was cleaning the dishes.
"Sorry sweetie." Said the head chef who was her father. "Right now is too busy and we need everyone to help. However since you are still inexperienced it would be helpful to be back here for now." Her father said trying to explain it in the nicest way possible.
"I know. I know. But I can go out again once more help comes right?" Melody asked since she knew more workers would be coming.
"It would be helpful if you stayed till it settles down." Her father said with a smile.
"OK. Fine. But I am leaving at 3, so I can hang out with Violet." Melody said
"That is fine. Hopefully it will settle down by then." Her father said laughing.
While Melody was doing dishes she continued to think about that boy she ran into. She knows she saw him somewhere but she was having a hard time remembering. She thought and thought and then she began to remember.
"Wait…Blue hair? Goggles? Our age? Doodles! He is the boy in the picture!" She yelled causing everyone in the kitchen to look at her. She got red faced and said, "Sorry. Just remembered something that was bugging me."
Everyone went back to work and she went back to her thoughts. She was having mixed emotions about this realization. She was happy that the boy Violet likes is in the city but at the same time she, personally, did not like him being there. Because of her thoughts she hoped Violet wouldn't see him but if she does she will just go with it.
"Now this summer just got more interesting." She said with slight interest on what will happen from now on.
