05 Crazy Ice Cream
Skylar
I hate myself. Why did I decide to accept the stupid deal.
''I'M GONNA SWING LIKE TOMMORROW DOESNT EXIST!''
I could be calm listening to my music but oh no, Grayson and his group decided to ride with us in my jeep. My jeep. It doesn't help with Sebastian screaming out the lyrics of chandelier by sia.
"LIKE IT DOESN'T EXIST!"
Oh sweet Jesus kill me with a squirrel.
''SHUT UP!" Joanna and I yelled simultaneously. Sebastian put his hand against where his heart is supposed to be on his chest. Fake hurt crossed his face.
"How dare you two?", he crossed his arms together sassily, "I sing be-utiful!" He exclaimed.
Joanna and I both looked at each other and rolled our eyes. ''You sound like a rooster screaming'' Joanna complained leaning against the side of the door, laying her head against the window. Grayson snickered in the back while Sean just chuckled lowly.
So let me show you the scenery. My jeep has five seats in it. The driver seat and passenger seat. Along with the guest seats in the back which happen to have three. So Joanna is in the passenger seat while I, am driving. Grayson is sat in the seat behind me. Sean is sat behind joanna. Which leaves Sebastian in the middle having his own little karaoke party. Which Joanna and I are the cops getting ready to kill him due to his loud yelling. What a lovely scene am I right?
When I had agreed to the deal back at the school Sean had suggested to come with us but the seat old Grayson had to say to ride with us. We had argued for a full twenty-four minutes before I had finally gave in and let them ride with us. Oh what a bad idea that was.
''Dont like Sia huh?" Grayson asked. I looked in the rear mirror to look at him to see him with a smirk. I scoffed.
''No, actually I enjoy Sia's music but Mr. Chandelier over here" I gestured to Sebastian who grinned childishly, "decided to kill my hearing by singing like he was falling from his death.'' He boomed out a laugh causing Sebastian to loo at him with a offended look.
Grayson turned towards him and said, "Dude you got to admit your singing is terrible." Sebastian hold even more offended look before shrugging and nodding in agreement. Joanna laughed quietly beside me and I turned towards her gave her a disbelieving look. She just turns to me and just shrugs as well. I sigh and look back onto the road not wanting to end up in a car crash. I already have to deal with them alive I don't need to deal with them when I am dead. That's a definite no. I exhale deeply when I see my destination.
''Crazy Ice Express"
My lips form into a smile once I see the bright, colorful building. The building wasn't to small and was not to big. It was the perfect size for a family friend place to treat each other with ice cream. The sign on the outside next to its building had its famous unique logo. The logo had a smiley face where the letter 'C' is and had decorations around it with silly faces of animals and cartoons. Next to all of the crazy artwork stood a ice cream cone with a silly mickey mouse face decorated on it.
You see, "Crazy Ice Express" was not any normal ice cream shop where you just ask for the flavor of your favorite ice cream flavor. Oh no, it had its own ice decoration isle. Basically, what you do is you go inside and you can either ask for a worker to make a specific ice cream art. Either you get a Snowman ice cream for the holidays, or a sun or sunny side ice cream for the summer. The sun ice cream is where you decorate the ice cream as a sun, mean while the sunny side ice cream is where you have extra ice cream in a bowl and you can put fruits or colorful candy in it. You can even get the original mickey mouse ice cream, which of course is decorated like mickey mouse. As you can see the small building is a child friendly place to hang and eat ice cream with practically anybody. I have known the owner since I was four years old, Joe, he is a kind seventy-two year old man. You would be surprised how energetic the man can be for someone his age. As I was saying, you can ask the worker for them to do it or you can ask for you ice cream flavor and decorate the ice cream yourself, just the way you like it.
"What are we doing here?", and that smacked the smile right off my face. There it goes walking home to watch Netflix. See you later buddy.
I ignored his following questions as I continue to turn into the parking lot in front of the building. Once I find a open parking space, I turn into it and park my jeep, taking out my key out of the ignition. I sigh once again as I feel a continuous nonstop tapping on my shoulder.
"Aye, nerdy you didn't answer my question!'' I turn to the mischievous looking devil as he smirks. I look to my phone checking the time.
"2:57 pm." It said. Three more minutes till my shift starts.
I breath in and look at Grayson, who still is staring at me with his smirk and curious eyes. I roll my eyes in return and said quick and easy, "I work here." His eyes hold shock in them. I laughed silently.
"Wait,'' Sean breathed out. "You work here?'' He gestured towards The bright colorful building that had a ice cream mascot statue with a derpy face on it. My smile widened as Joanna next to me laughed.
"Yup" I said the smile still covering my face.
"We both do "Joanna continued for me. I looked at her with my smile shinning my face. Her eyes hold the similar childish glint in it as mine. "Come on,'' I squealed ''Before we're late!'' I instantly jump out my jeep and run towards the door. I here Joanna fast footsteps behind me as we both are eager to go in. In the background I hear the guys get out and laughing at our childish act. I couldn't care less this place is like my second home.
I opened the door as the bell above it jingled a happy tune. I feel my smile get wider if that's even possible. Children giggling, their parents smiling in happiness. The sweet theme song of "Crazy Ice Express'' echoes throughout the room. The smell of delicious sweets getting ready to be eaten fill my nose. I hear someone behind me breath out and say ''woah.'' I smile and turn around to meet Grayson gaze, who was looking around at the sight with pure awe, when they switched to me and he asks, ''You seriously work here?''.
I open my mouth , ''Yeah I work here,'' I turn my gaze towards the sight again before I continue ''wouldn't want to work anywhere else." I look to Joanna and see her with a grin and Sebastian who was behind her who had the same grin. Sean who was actually standing next to her stood with a blank face, but I could still see that small smirk on his face and his eyes gleam with happiness at the scene. A door opening brought my attention back to a man exiting the back room with a smile on his face. Joe. I walk towards him with Joanna on my tail.
"Joe!'' I shout his name. He turns to the direction he heard me say his name and his smile grows.
"Skylar,'' He smiles at me once I reach him and instantly engulf him in a friendly hug. I let go of him, ''here for another shift aye?'' He questions with a smile.
I nod with a grin forming on my face, ''Yes I am.'' My throat bubbles with laughter. He smiled at me in return then turned to Joanna.
"Hello Joanna how are you?'' Joanna grins her teeth showing slightly.
"I'm doing great how are you?'' She asks politely with a smile.
"You know the usual serving kids ice cream and talking with adults." Joanna smiles and nods. Then Joe finally notices Sebastian, Sean, and Grayson behind us who look like children in heaven. "Who are these young fellows?'' He questions.
Joanna turns around confused until she caught the sight of the three guys then she remembers. ''Oh them their just some...friends." She replies slowly once not really knowing what to call them.
Joe smiles happily seeing new faces. "Hello, my name is Joe.'' He says politely offering Grayson his hand. Grayson whips his head to Joe then he immediately stretches his hand outward to Joe's before shaking it.
"Hi my name is Grayson. Nice to meet you as well." He offers a kind smile. My eyebrows slightly furrow together, surprised, since he was being polite. I shrugged, hey you learn new things everyday.
"And uh, who are your um,'' Joe stammers slightly seeing Sebastian and Sean who were discussing about I think the ice cream like children. I laugh at them. ''friends'' he finishes.
Grayson turned towards the yapping boys next to him before chuckles nervously, ''Oh, that Sebastian,'' he points to Sebastian who was bouncing up and down childishly. "and that's Sean." who is looking back and forth at Sebastian and the area.
"Ah I see,'' Joe responds with a knowing look ''They don't visit ice cream shops a lot?'' He asks.
Grayson just shakes his head and glances at them, ''Nah, they do just not this type of ice cream shops.'' He gestures to the building with a kid music.
Joe chuckles his smile grows, ''Yup, I guess you can say that this place is unique.'' Grayson nods in agreement. "Well enjoy your time being here and,'' he looks at both Joanna and me ''Its time to start working eh?''. Joanna and i widened our eyes realizing that it has been more then 3 minutes meaning, our shift has already started.
"Right!'' I exclaim and rush towards the backroom with Joanna running towards the cashier station putting her hair up in a pony tail, and putting on her worker hat. She smiled at the next customer, ''Hi welcome to Crazy Ice Express. What can I get you for today?'' She asks politely with a smile shown on her face.
I look away and open the backroom door, met with a couple of familiar faces.
Daniel, he restocks the shelves when empty. He is twenty-two years old and he is Joe's nephew. "Hey Sky.'' He greets. I smile in return. "Hey Daniel''. He nods at me then goes back to what he was doing.
"Good afternoon Skylar" I switch my gaze to the lady. Mrs. Hanna. A thirty-eight year old women with a nice husband and two children, twin boys. Hopefully, a third child soon.
"Hello Mrs. Hanna" I greet back at her. She returns to her station which is ice cream scooping.
Then there is Mr. Mitchel. He is forty-three years old. He doesn't have a wife and everyone has been trying to hook him up but he says he hasn't found the one just yet. "Hello Mitchel" I greet to him. He looks up from his table which he was putting candy and fruits in their own personal bowl for the decoration isle. He smiled kindly at me letting me see his now forming wrinkles on his forehead.
"Hello Skylar, how are you?'' He kindly asks. I just smile, ''I am fine thank you for asking. How are you?'' I question.
"Oh you know, separating sweets and fruits. Nothing interesting though I could go for some nice tacos." He lightly laughs.
I laugh along. I honestly don't think how anyone can think he is not nice. He is a great man and has humor. He would make a great husband and father. I chat with Mr. Mitchel for a few minutes before deciding I should actually get to work. I told Mr. Mitchel my goodbyes and went to the sink in the back. I wash my hands and dry them with a towel. Then I walk back to the front and out the backroom. I head towards my station. Which is the fun part. The decoration station. I get to see children make their creation and I can make them for them if they choose.
"Hi!'' I hear a small voice exclaim. I look down to see a little boy possibly six years old with a smile letting me see his small teeth that are growing in nicely.
"Hi,'' I smile kindly in return ''What's your name?" I ask sweetly. He grins childishly before answering.
"Jax!'' He giggles. I internally squeal at his cuteness.
"Well Jax, What are you making today?" His face brightens once I ask him.
"I want to make SpongeBob!" He exclaims brightly. I laugh at his face expression
"Well lets start." I say. He nods immediately. I turn to his mom and dad who were standing next to Jax smiling. I give them a polite smile that says "Can I help him" since I don't want to anger parents and worry their safety of the child. Believe me, once it happened before. The parents nod in approval. I smile and look at the fidgety Jax who is waiting impatiently.
"Okay so what do you want on your ice cream SpongeBob Jax?'' He grins toothly.
"Can I get the gum balls as the eyes!"
