chapter 7 Work and new Worker

My alarm clock went off and I nearly smashed it to silence it. I still missed the off button. I sat up and turned it off. My bed was a mess. It was littered
With cake pop crumbs. I shook it a little bit and stepped carefully over my messy room. I wish I had time to clean it. I shrugged and I deemed I could pay Alex five bucks to do it

I was already late so I got into the shower and skipped breakfast. My outfit was the usual, uniform. And my hair was pulled up in a ponytail. No one likes hair in their smoothie.

I got on my bike and I threw the news papers at each of the doors. A gate opened and before I could catch the newspaper I threw at it, it hit a man. I got off my bike and walked over.

"Hey, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to—" wait a second,  I know this guy!

"Oh my gosh! You are the waiter...Jin right?" I said sounding happier than I intended. It's fun recognizing people. Unless they are your ex...or ex best friend.

"Yeah, Jin is my name. Glad you remembered" he said with a sweet smile.

"Sorry for hitting you with today's paper."

"It's okay, it won't affect my handsomeness." He said sweetly. Even though what he said would have seemed vain, he said it in the nicest way.

"Well I'm glad I ran into you. You gave me great service. If you'd stop by Chilli's or the smoothie shack, I could return the favor" I said. He had the type of personality that glowed and brought up my mood.

"Of course! You know my name but what's yours?"

"April, April Smith."

"I knew you were familiar! You're April, the April dating my friend Jimin!"

"Ye— yes....I am." I wondered how in the world he knew about that. Of course Jimin could've told him but it could've been any April on this planet. Unless he showed him a picture. 

He blew me a kiss and waved goodbye. It wasn't flirtateous, just friendly. Even though with him saying that I smiled ear to ear. I want to become friends with that guy.....

I arrived at the last house. This house was huge and I always stopped to look at it. I didn't know who lived here. The grass was so green, the flowers always kept. It was beautiful. I longed to live in a house like that. But for now I just needed to do my jobs.

I was five minutes late arriving at the smoothie shop. I was sweating and Josh looked up at me. We were usually the only two but this time someone else was working as well. He was wearing a red beanie, hiding his blonde hair peeking out. He had prominent dimples and a cute eye smile, but he was extremely tall. He reminded me of a cool laid back rapper.

I shuffled back behind the counter to check in.

"Hello" the tall boy said "my name's Namjoon. But my friends call me Rap Monster, or Moni. You can call me what you like, because I can tell we are going to be friends." He said

I smiled at him. I loved the outgoing kindness he possessed. He was sweet despite the name Rap Monster.

"I'm April. And I look forward to working with you"

Before he could respond an angry customer yelled for his order.

I broke I eye contact with Moni. "coming right up!" I yelled.

Josh and I bumped into each other as we both scrambled for the smoothie. I looked at him refusing my automatic 'sorry' and instead I told him to watch where he was going. After he slid the smoothie to the costumer and pointed at the wall

"You see that?" He asked
I looked at him confused then I followed his finger toward the wall. It read 'New Manager: Josh Wright.'

"Oh my gosh." I whispered. "That should've been me." I worked so hard here. That would mean he is in charge of me.

"Yeah. All of your 'five minutes late' excuses stops here. I'm in charge of you and if your late again your fired! He yelled.

Every costumer was watching. I couldn't believe he yelled at me infront of everyone. I wasn't going to cry, I was done crying. Plus, I'd embarrass myself infront Moni.

"Hey, calm down man, it wasn't intentional" Moni said.

Josh hated me. He was watching my every move waiting to complain about something.

Two hours later it was time for my break and Josh had already blown up at me three times by now. I thought I was going to punch him. But I could lose my job. I had been working here forever and the only reason why he became manager was because the real manager was lazy and no one wanted to work at Smoothie Shack.

I walked out to the back of the building and I cupped my face in my hands. I heard the door open and Moni stepped out of the building.

"Hey, you okay? Boss is really uptight. But I'll help you through it." He said.

I cringed at the word 'boss'. Josh was no more than an ignorant worker, not anyone's boss.

"Thanks Moni" I said feeling better.

"See, I told you we would be friends"
He pulled out a cigarette and lit it, then popped it into his mouth.

I couldn't help it. My face instantly twisted up. I hate smoke. It killed my grandpa, and both my parents did it.

"Stop that, it's bad for you" I said concerned.

Both his eyebrows shot up. " That's okay, I'll accept the risk."

"No. I don't want you to end up like my grandpa"

He looked as if he wanted to ask more, but instead he said, "then you smoke it"

I was caught off guard. But I knew I wouldn't get hooked. I would rather do it than see a genuine boy like him suffer from it.

"Give it to me" I said
He looked surprised as I took it out of his mouth and placed it in mine. The smoke filled my lungs as I breathed in and I exhaled immediately. The sensation was warm but disturbing since I hated it. Smoking.

"Woah, woah! No I was kidding" he carefully  took it out of my mouth and tossed it in the trash can. He stared at me for a couple of seconds. "What are you my older sister?"

"Huh?"

" I mean, you care about me— my health— so much you'd do that for me?" He said his face softening.

"Oh. Sure. I like you Moni. And I want you to stay around. As for your sister, I'm younger than you. You're eighteen right?"

"Right"

"So I'm your younger sister" I said winking at him.

He smiled deepening his dimples.
"So are you going to tell me why Joshy keeps balling you out?"

I didn't know Moni too well. But I felt like I could tell him anything. He was my big brother after all.

I arrived at Chilli's around 6:40 . I was on time this time.  I was greeted at the door with a stack of menus.

"Pass those out on the left side of the building. Two per table."  My boss said.

I passed out all the menus and I began to find a table to take their order. I saw a small group without any drinks and I came over to serve them. I saw Jimin with two other handsome boys. I had to take a double take. There was a sleepy, intiminating, but handsome boy sitting next to Jimin. Next to Jimin sat a younger looking boy and he had perfect hair and beautiful lips. Who knew hotness came in groups. Oh wait, I guess that goes for me and my friends as well. I joked with myself.

"Hi I'll be your waitress for today, are you ready for drinks? Hey, you look familiar" I teased at Jimin

He smiled at me, shy infront of his friends. The young one elbowed him as if to say 'right on'.

The other one, on his left, told me he wanted water, and the others agreed.

"Alright I'll be right back with that. Any appetizers before I take your meal orders?"

The young one smiled at me " I'll take all the appetizers you have on the menu" he said.

I was surprised but I said "coming right up" anyway.

I turned and left for the kitchen. I heard the three boys wispher as I walked away. It made me smile.

I came back with their drinks. I put on my best face to not embarass Jimin. I was his girlfriend after all.

The young one looked up at me again and said " Is there a boyfriend's discount?" He said with a smirk.

"Jungkook!" Jimin warned.

"As much as I would love to—" I began

"The appetizers won't arrive with you talking....." The intimidating one said dryly.

Jimin shot him a look "Yoongi!"

Yoongi rolled his eyes then focused his attention back on the menu.

That was rude. There was no suga coating it. I went back to the kitchen with my forced smile disappearing. As I left I heard Jimin ask Jungkook if Jungkook was going to pay because he ordered so much.

I dropped off their eleven appetizers, gave them drink refills, and went to go attend my other tables. I found Jin sitting alone at a booth.

We spotted each other at the same time and he patted the spot next to him indicating for me to sit.

I sat down. But only for a second. I was there long enough to have  a short conversation about Jin's acting career and how he thought I was a hard worker.

I eventually made my way over to the three boys' table to ask for their main meal.

"We won't be ordering anything else." Jungkook began "the appetizers were filling, and besides we are on a diet."

"A diet?" I asked before thinking

"I'm in dance, Jungkook's in archery. And Yoongi does basketball. It requires us to be in shape" Jimin said.

I could tell they were in shape I could imagine Jimin and Jungkook hiding killer abs underneath their shirts. It was easier for me to imagine especially for Jungkook, since he was wearing a white, sheer shirt. While Yoongi was lean, but healthy looking

They paid for the bill and left. I came by to clean up and I saw a twenty dollar tip. Dang! These boys were rich! Jimin left a note saying 'thank you girlie ' with a heart next to it.

I smiled and cleared off the table. Then I heard a phone hit the floor. I picked it up and studied it. It was a Samsung Galaxy S8. I turned the phone on, and I immediately saw a picture of Jimin and Jungkook. Okay, it could be either one of the two. I hated to do this, but I was curious. I opened the gallery icon and what I saw next made my jaw drop.
