Chapter 9
Jacob and Nessie looked at the menus to see what the restaurant served.
"I hear their crab is amazing," Jacob said.
"That's what I was looking at," messier said with a smile.
They continued to look at the menus for a few more minutes. Then Michael, the waiter came over.
"Hello. My name's Michael and I will be your waiter this evening. What can I get you to drink?"
"I'll have water," Jacob said.
"I'll take water and a virgin kiwi daiquiri," Nessie said. The virgin kiwi daiquiri sounded interesting. She had had strawberry ones but never kiwi.
"Okay. Do you know what you would like to eat or would you like a few more minutes?" Michael asked.
"I'll have the salmon and shrimp," Jacob said and then handed his menu to Michael.
"I'll have the crab and fish," Nessie said.
"What fish would you like?" Michael asked.
"Tilapia please." Nessie handed her menu to Michael.
Michael wrote down their orders then turned and headed to the kitchen.
"So how was school?" Jacob asked.
"Good. How was work?" Nessie asked.
"Good. Was school just good?" Jacob pressed.
"Well I made some friends. Besides just Estella," Nessie paused as Michael came back with their drinks.
"Here you go," Michael said, placing water in front of Jacob and water and the virgin kiwi daiquiri in front of Nessie. "Anything else?"
"No we're fine," Jacob said.
"Okay. Let me know if you need anything," Michael said before turning and walking off.
"Now what were you saying?" Jacob asked.
"I was just saying that I made some friends," Nessie said.
"That's good," Jacob said, taking a bite of his food.
"So was work just good?" Nessie asked, taking a bite of her food.
"I like it. The people there are nice as is the boss. The boss has a daughter the grade below you and a son the grade above you."
"Really?" Nessie asked. "That's cool. What are their names?"
"The girl's name is Ashley and the boy's is Aaron."
"There's an Aaron in my algebra class. What their last name?"
"White."
"He's in my algebra two class," Nessie said.
"Well we'll be going to their house this Friday. Mr. White invited us to dinner," Jacob said.
"Sounds good. Do I need to tone down on the funkiness of my outfits when we go?" Nessie said with a laugh.
"No I think you'll be fine," Jacob said laughing.
"I'm glad," Nessie said with another laugh.
