Marysa was still standing where she was when that guy had left. She wasn't at all sure what she was doing. Does he affect me so much? Marysa wondered, shaking her head in annoyance. Meh, maybe because I can't wait to go back to Britain... Must be my nerves or something.

"Marysa! Who was that? Was he your boyfriend?!" Manager, who had been naughtily spying, emerged from behind the kitchen, grinning like mad. "That's SO sweet...!" She went into total fangirl mode, singing, "Marysa's got a boyfriend! Lalala!"

Marysa groaned. "No. I don't even know that freak."

"Whaaaaat?!" Manager shrieked, her singing stopping. "You're not hiding anything, right?" She peered into Marysa's face.

"Manager, puh-lease." Hannah's annoying voice rang out. "We are talking about Marysa, remember."

"What are you getting at, Hannah?" Sofie was right behind Hannah, glaring daggers at her back.

"Nothing." Hannah smirked. "I'm just saying, we all know she's a 'male-hater.'"

"Of course." Marysa rolled her eyes. "When you find out what they do to you, you'd hate them as much as I do too."

"What, did they like, rape you?" Hannah laughed, as Marysa and Sofie bristled.

"YOU SHOULDN'T LAUGH AT MATTERS LIKE THAT!" Manager yelled at Hannah.

"I don't care, you're not my mother." Hannah sniffed.

"If I was," Manager said, unusually angered, "I'd have whipped you into shape! Now if you don't take matters seriously, and continue acting like a brat, I'll be happy to show you out the door."

"Y-you wouldn't!" Hannah spluttered.

"Oh, I would." Manager smirked an evil smirk. This was unlike any emotion the carefree Manager has ever shown to her girls. Hannah was visibly shaken, her face pale and she looked really scared. Marysa and Sofie exchanged looks of shock, but kept quiet. The atmosphere was tense, and no one dared to disturb it.

Ding!

The girls all looked up as the door bell chimed. A bunch of teenage girls came barging into the shop, yelling and rushing around. Their unruliness instantly broke the tension, and the café workers (I'll just call them waitresses) were all startled.

"Did they escape from a psycho home?" Sofie whispered to Marysa, as the teenagers ran around the customer area, looking under tables and upturning chairs. They were searching for something, and kept screaming incomprehensible sentences. Finally, Manager could no longer take having her store being torn apart.

"Excuse me, but can you please calm down?" Manager said to one of the passing girls, who paid NO attention.

"Can you please calm yourselves?!" Manager, who never yelled at customers tried again, in a louder voice. Not one girl even looked up. Fed up, Manager stood on top of a stool.

"FOR GOSH DARN'S SAKE, CONTAIN YOUR DESTRUCTION POWERS, AND TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON!" Manager bellowed. All attention snapped towards her, and Manager breathed a sigh of relief as Sophie, Hannah, and Marysa silently laughed and admired their Manager.

All the girls that were running around the café froze, and looked shocked, as if they just realized what they were doing. Manager and her waitresses all waited expectantly for them to explain what the heck they were doing. Finally, a girl with frizzy red hair spoke up.

"We're just finding out where Derek went. We're truly sorry for the commotion we caused. He just has the habit of escaping from us." The rest of the teens nodded in agreement.

Marysa frowned. Are they his girlfriends or something? she wondered.

Manager laughed. "So, who is he?"

"WHAT!?" The teens all screeched in horror. "HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW WHO HE IS?!"

"I'm... s-sorry."

"Hey, calm down girls. It's not her fault." The redhead instructed her fellow friends. Turning back to the stunned Manager, she smiled. "I don't know if you're aware of it, but we believe we saw Derek Walker come in here. Is that true?"

The Manager became lost for words, her face opening and closing like a beached fish. Marysa looked at Sofie, confused.

"Oh my gosh, THE Derek Walker?!" Hannah asked.

"YES!" The redhead squealed, her face shining. Marysa grumbled. All this over a BOY?

"I'm sorry, am I missing something?" Marysa asked the redhead.

"Oh, do you not know about him?"

"Of course she doesn't. She's behind the times." Hannah whispered. Marysa glared at her, expecting the other girl to laugh at her.

"So? He's seen often, but escapes so many times, it's like he's not even real." The redhead smiled at Marysa. "I'm Pippa, and we're trying to interview Derek Walker, who's widely known for his good looks and mysterious background."

"Oh. Are you a reporter?" Marysa asked dubiously, looking at Pippa who looked the same age.

"Not yet, but my parents are. They want me to gather as much info as I can."

"Oh." Repeated Marysa. "Thanks for explaining."

"No problem!" Pippa smiled, showing off a cute set of dimples. "By the way, I love this café. I'll have to visit more often!" Pippa motioned for the rest of the teen girls to follow her out. "Sorry for the commotion! Buh-bye!"

Another ding! and the café was empty. Hannah, Sofie, Manager, and Marysa all looked at each other and laughed in amusement.

"What was that all about anyway?" Sofie said, calming down.

"Who knows girls, but today's work is over!" Manager cheered. "Good work today, see you girls tomorrow!"

Closed...
