I do like working in the cafe but sometimes is just boring and I can't really save much because of food and other bills. I know that people will judge me and if the school catch up with what I'm about to do, I might be expelled or worst, I will be on the news or somethin. I might be overthinkin again but it is actually a risk I am going to take. Well, I am also aware then I might be harassed while working but I know I'll get used to it and as I have seen, the customers at that bar are not that creepy and crazy at all. Maybe it's because they've got some big bouncers or maybe because the owner is always watching- yeah he's really intimidating like he's got that murderous vibe and I never tried to talk to him. But now I have to because I got to have that job. I was busy thinkin about these thoughts when I saw a familiar figure at the corner of my eye. I thought it was Eliot but it was Raymond. Our eyes met but I ignored him until he raised his hand to order, like he's in a restaurant. Rich prick; I wanted to pour a glass of water to his face just to complete the look but I just went to his table and asked WHAT. He said that he knew he has to go to the counter but he said he was tired so I should go fetch him somethin ridiculously specific and four slices of banana bread because he will give a huge tip. I pulled myself together within a second and reminded myself that I am still working so I just did what he said. But as I was preparin his coffee with my colleague, he was at the counter talking to my manager. I was so nervous when she asked me to come close and when I got there, Tonia sighed and said that he wants to borrow me for an hour and he will give 500 dollars to each worker to compensate my unavailability. I raised my brow to that because that is such a Raymond move and stated that I won't do it because it's saturday and they will need more hands. My manager wasn't much help because she told me to just to do it because Hanna could use that money since her child is still at the hospital. Just in time, Hanna looked at me and smiled. They knew my weakness and they played me like a fiddle so I removed my apron and exited the counter as slow as I can. I sat across him and we said nothing to each other for five minutes. We just stared at each other like there was a contest going on and I can't just let him win, so I applied all the techniques I've learned from my sister and I won! Hell yeah I'm better than him and now he can forget that one time he beat me at karaoke and that other time he beat me at eatin a hotdog.. anyway, I beat the odds and he offered some banana bread as an award. I LOVE BANANA BREAD but I still hate him so he might be manipulating me to do somethin he can't like that one time he asked me to take a picture of Eliot while studyin because he will need it for his some sort of project. Of course I said no but he pulled out a fresh loaf of garlic bread and I just can't. I should have noticed the signs that Raymond was into Eliot but I was too confused with my feeling towards Eliot that I just thought the situation was simple.. well not really. So I'll go back to the cafe and what's going on between us, like he was about to open his shutter when I said I was sorry for everything and he should have known that I have a thick skull and I could have been his wing man if I've only knew. He smiled and said that I'm a terrible liar and I should just keep my mouth close or he'll throw the boilin hot coffee on my face. I did what he told me and we were silent again but not for long because he told me that he feels lonely and people in his class are as boring as a chewed-up gum. I can't forget that comparison and I still don't understand why he said it. Anyway, he told me that he wants to hang out like usual. Then I told him I hate bird watching and I thought he would be flippin the table but he just laughed, genuinely bursted because he remembered that I got poop on my head and I looked like an A la mode since my hair color looks like burnt pancake. I kept a serious face as he's spilling his coffee but he suddenly stopped and said sorry before saying that he is really serious about it. He even admitted that his motivations are not pure because he doesn't like his new roommate. I told him SAME and then he gave this really warm and careless side smile. That feeling was very different from what I get from Eliot.. it felt nostalgic or innocent.. but back to the convo, he asked me if I wanted to be his roommate like he will find a way to make that guy leave. I told him that we already have a history so the dorm president won't like it at all.110Please respect copyright.PENANAIDSCaEHkvK
