Pain 2
Chapter 2(group chat)
#skye's POV#
Lady Mira, my boss soon came to the counter.
"Hey skye, I thought yoh wouldn't show up, I already asked Annabelle to fill in. what took you do long?"she said.
"Good day lady mira. I'm so sorry. I was just busy with something"
"What thing exactly if i may ask? Perhaps, Something more important than work?"
"No, lady mira. It's just my brother, Max. I knew I could talk to him whenever I wanted to, I had all the time in the world, but I was selfish and I apologize lady mira"
"It's fine skye, i understand you, besides i cherish family time. Nevermind about it okay?. Just get to work immediately to cover up for the time you missed"
"I will lady mira, thanks for understanding"
She was walking away leaving me to stare at her walk elegantly in her beautiful outfit which soothed her perfecly. She was clothed in a blue long gown which pointed out her unique curves that were out of this world and exposed her cleaveges a little, it had a transparent net from the knees downward with black flowers on it. Her brown wavy hair reaching her swaying hips was one of a kind. I rested my chin on my both palms with my elbow on the counter and continued to sink deeper into my daze. she looked more than stunning that i started to envy her immediately.
"Hey waitress!!!"a lady slammed the table with her palm repeatedly.
That was loud enough to wake me up from my daydream.
I quickly snapped my neck towards her and I was indeed surprised who it was. It was one of the back benchers at school who pick on me, Layla.
"Why are you staring at me like that, I'm talking to--, what!!, skye?"
"I- I'm s-sorry, how may i help you l-layla?"
"You're the waitress, I can't believe it, you poor looser, you're a waitress, once a looser always a looser. I've been calling for you for a while now, your ears, where are they?, whatever, just come take my order waitress- haaaa"
It was really embarrassing for her to pick on me at my work place also. For God's sake, must i be a source of the topic for every bully.
"Layla, quit yelling at the waitress, she probably didn't---skye?"a deep voice said, omg, it's charlie, i was staggering already as i looked into his eyes, I lost my mind over them in just mere seconds. I quickly held the edge of the counter to make my balance stable, i pulled myself together even though Layla already noticed my staggering. She raised a brow at me but rolled her eyes and returned her gaze to Charlie.
"Yeah, the waitress you're defending"
"Welcome to da pitsa, how may i help you?" i acted normal with a wide smile,
"Just a pepperoni pizza would do please and 2 glasses of water"charlie played along ignoring layla.
"Where's your table please?"
"Table 20, over there"he pointed out, Layla was confused about hiw we could act normal, she stared at us both in confusing not being able to process what she said in relation to what is happening. Realization hit her hard that she was being ignored, she scoffed and went to her table.
"Go have your sit please, coming right up"
Charlie went to take a sit while i called the kitchen with the telephone in the drawer.
"A pepperoni pizza and two glasses of water please"i ordered
Not long after, a guy came from the kitchen with a pizza and two glasses of water placed in a tray, i took it from him and walked to table 20 to serve charlie and layla.
"Yeah serve us you lonely dirty bastard"layla bullied. I wanted to rip out her eyeballs and use it in addition to the pizza toppings at that moment but i had to keep my calm.
"What's the matter with you layla?"charlie asked
"What?, i didn't lie against her or did i?, isn't she a bastard?, Besides, isn't she dirty as well?, she's has no friends-pfft lonely so I'm justified". I felt all the air in my lungs being sucked up, that was really painful but i had to endure, i kept placing the stuffs in the tray on their table carefully in the special way lady mia taught me how to set the customers' table trying to fight back the tears that started gathering in my eyes.
"Layla!!"charlie yelled
"I'm right, she's dirty and lonely"she repeated. I was really avoiding not killing and burying layla right there so i kept quiet trying to hold my innocent tears back. Charlie noticed the infinite pain and tears in my eyes, he felt bad for me.
I quickly places the stuffs on their table roughly and turned to leave to go wipe the tears before they fall. Charlie held my arm pleading me to wait.
"Skye, wait"
"What?"i said without turning to look at his face
"Please, don't be mad, i feel bad for you actually"
"Its too late cause i am mad already, plus don't feel bad for me, be more concerned about the man she'd end up with"i said still fighting back the tears. Layla kept mute, i guess i hurt her like she did me, i hit her soft point really hard, she didn't see that coming. Charlie laughed a little and continued begging me.
"Just look at me or at least take a sit, i know you're mad, i apologize on her behalf, she's just crazy"
"I'm not crazy, let her go charlie, she thinks she's badass in savage, i wish i could show her how it's done but I don't do plastics. Let her go charlie, let her go cry to her mother's lame ass at home"layla ranted. The plastic and mother word triggered me, those words made the tears fall.
"Layla!, you're lucky I don't hit girls, i should have beaten your thin ass out of you"charlie said
I turned to face layla.
"Layla, never call me a plastic and mention my mother please!, never!!, never!!!"i yelled
"Why do you care so much about your whore of a mother"she rolled her eyes.
"Please"i said silently with the last shallow breath i had in my lungs as another tear rolled down my cheek reminding me of mum.
"Guess who's begging now?"she said as I got loose from Charlie's grip and i left as fast as i could. I went to the bathroom and washed my face before going back to my post. My eyes went back to table 20 several times only to see layla laughing at some jokes she cracked that were not funny obviously. charlie on the other hand had his eyes glued to his phone. Some moments later, they finish their pizza and went to the secetary to pay their bills.
After an hour, I went to lady Mira's office to speak with her about my shift.
"Lady mira, its one hour and cia is here for her 4hours shift"i explained. My shift interval was the shortest among all shifts because I normally have chores to do and books to study.
"Okay skye, here is $700"
"Thanks lady mira but why isn't it a complete payment?"
"Because you came late, annabelle was paid extra for filling in for you, that's the new rule"she said with her face glued to the monitor.
"But lady mira, cia is also 15 minutes late and her payments are way higher than everyone else's so why didn't you pay me her money for that period, i filled in for her"
"Oh....., here is $3,100"
"Woah, thanks lady mira" i said and left happily because i already made more than my audition money if i added this to my previous savings but I'd like to keep working to save at least $50,000 for me to be independent since i decided I'd talk to lady mira about adding more hours next week.
I arrived home and went on the socials to converse with my friends since i was only acknowledged on the socials. I was in a group chat created by some baddie named 'luna elvis', i envied her alot because she was really respected on all social medias and It's obvious she's also in real life.
I was chatting with some girls when one of them sent some dude's Instagram account link to the group saying he was a hot piece of cake. All the girls entered the link and they were hyping this dude, including Luna, she even said 'i'd do whatever it takes to get this guy'.
'whats the big deal about this dude?'i asked. Luna sent a rolling eye emoji.
'just check it girl, he's so hot'ema replied to my message.
'girls'one of the guys said along with a rolling eye emoji.
I clicked the link and of course this dude was hot, but--wait, i know this guy, it was charlie. Why is everything working altogether for good for Charlie. "Charlie this, charlie that, y'all should let my future husband be"i said loudly in my room as I buried my face in my palm and blushed, these girls were actually falling hard for the same charlie that comes to my school, the same dude in my class that sits in front of me but wasn't a certified backbencher like the others were.
I went back to the gc and told them i knew charlie cooper.
'what!!, you do?'luna asked
'yeah my classmate, he's the 19 years old, tall, school rich superstar every girl are willing to die for. He wanted to have a normal childhood but he always gets the spot light, he's hotter in reality than he is in Instagram'i explained in details trying to get closer to her
'uhh--i didn't ask for that much okay?,well i guess heaven loves me, just tell me the name of your school, I'll tell dad to change my school'luna said
'golden mounts'
'sure , I'll ask Abi and ema if they wanna come also. Expect a new student next week, luna elvis and maybe ema adams also'
'yes luna, I'm tagging along also, thanks to the new benz dad just got me because i got a c- in the text i could drive all the way down from dallis to wherever that school is... duhh the car also has a GPS, that should do' ema replied
"Okay that's ill, you got a car from a c-"i thought as i face palmed myself
'the school is in Beasley city, i heard it's a big city yet it has very few villas, how am i supposed to survive in houses, cottages and condos?, arghh-I'd just tell dad that I'm moving out and he'd buy me a mansion' luna texted
'Good idea'ema replied
Oh fuck no!. What did i just do. I just invited bunch of baddies to my school because i wanted to be friends with luna, hell no. She literally just used me, I'm such a fool.she didn't even say thanks.
'Calm down skye, calm down', she'll only get into my school if she could pass the tests or perhaps bribe them, 'okay now freak out skye'.
I switched off the laptop and went for my evening jog. I arrived home, ate dinner, took a shower and crawled to bed.
