Never Going to Fall, If I Already Did

Chapter 3: Don't make meh shove my perfectly good ice cream on your stupid face.

I said, let's go get some ice cream. It will be fun, I said.

    Instead, my mood dropped five feet under when I saw S.T.D herself behind the register with a big fake smile plastered on her stupid face. Well, until she saw me and then she scowled. I have to give an imaginary award to her though because every time her boss turned towards her that fake smile appeared. I huffed and stopped in front of the counter.

     In front of Serene who smirked at me when her boss walked off towards the back. I rolled my eyes and looked at Lucia. Her eyes were glued to something past Serene. I followed her stare and chuckled when I saw she was staring at Mint ice cream that was in bold letters on the menu board.

"Of course!" Serene chirped as she leaned against the counter towards me knocking me out of my thoughts. I turned my gaze towards her and cocked an eyebrow.

"Excuse me? What?" I asked, annoyed at her chirpiness. 

"I mean, obviously you would buy ice cream. No wonder you're so plump." Serene tilted her head  to the side and chuckled. My hands clenched into fist at my sides and if it wasn't for Lucia clearing her throat, I would have got us all kicked out.

"Unless you want me to complain to your stressed out boss," Lucia stared at Serene and nodded her head towards her boss, "then I advise you to take my order of mint ice cream." 

Serene placed her hand on her hip and smirked at Lucia. "Even if you did, I wouldn't get fired," Serene stuck her head high in the air, "besides I don't like you."

Lucia placed both her hands on the counter and stared at Serene with hatred.

"I will climb over this counter and pull every fake extensions from your head unless you give me my damn mint ice cream, Serene."  Lucia hissed.

Serene opened her mouth to insult Lucia but a deep voice cut her off.

"Serene, your shift is over. Go call Melody and have her to take these costumers' orders." Serene nodded and stalked off into a door that led into the employee lounge. 

After a couple minutes, a tall blond haired girl walked up to us with a notepad and pen. She smiled at us and said,"What will you have?" 

"MINT ICE CREAM!" Lucia screeched in joy and when I looked into her eyes, I could swear they sparkled more than Edward in Twilight.

If that was even possible.

"-Right, Iz?" Lucia finished and I snapped my head towards her in confusion.

"Huh?" I muttered.

"Never mind." Lucia huffed and skipped off down the aisle to an empty booth. I turned to the blond employee and smiled.

"Double chocolate chip ice cream." I told her. She wrote it down on her notepad and walked off into the kitchen. I spun on my heel and walked to the booth that everyone sat down at. I flopped down beside Lucia who happily drummed her fingers on the red table while humming a familiar tune in her head. I brought my hand to my face and leaned my elbow on the table to get comfortable while waiting.

     Double chocolate chip was my childhood favorite. It was vanilla ice cream swirled with a bunch of chocolate chips and even more chocolate chips. Obviously, I loved chocolate as much as Gir loved Tacos.

Uh, no. Gir loved cupcakes.

Gir loved everything or what not.

Oh, well.

"Here you are." An employee slid a tray onto our table. She smiled at us and then walked off.

     Lucia grabbed her mint ice cream and stabbed her spoon into it. In a matter of minutes, she had devoured the ice cream and nothing was left, but a little bit of melted mint ice cream. That's when everyone at our table stop gawking at her and started eating their own ice cream. I, myself, started eating mine.
