Fame

The place he's taking me to is called fame.

Supposedly today is the day he is going to try on tuxes.

He texted me in the middle of biology.
My mom is going to take my car after Terrance picks me up from the cafe, so I have to tell her.

The one day I want to go home and sleep, my fake boyfriend needs me.

I look down at my shorts, flannel, T-shirt, and vans.

Oh Kay.

I arrived at my moms cafe,
'The Little Tea Cup'.

I pulled in and realized it looked pretty busy.

I went inside and saw she had four people waiting in line, and bout five waiting for their drinks and her and her employee, Emily, were working their butt off trying to keep up and make the orders.

I quickly dropped my bag inside her office and put on an apron and went to the register.

"Hi, welcome to The Little Tea Cup, my name is Aryn, what can I get for you?"

"Can I get a medium spice latte with a pump of vanilla?"

"Of course. That will be $4.03." I said punching in the order.

I repeated this multiple times, finishing up here and was about to go help my mom and Em with the orders but I had one more.

"Hi, welcome to The Little Tea Cup, my name is Aryn what can I get for you?" I said looking down opening a new roll of quarters.

"Can I get a chocolate milkshake?"

I recognize the voice and instantly snap my head up and see a smiling Terrance.

I smile and laugh.

"No, you can't." I said

"Please." He says

"Fine," I say punching it in.

He extended his hand with a five dollar bill in it.

I shook my head and said, it's on the house.

I smiled and walked over to mom and Em and started on a drink that was next.

"Non-fat cinnamon soy latte for Lauren."

I started on the next.

"I have a large Arnold Palmer with strawberry, for Amanda"

"I have a large Chocolate Shake for the most annoying person in the world." I joked.
