Chapter25

#Chapter25

I didn't see Joel until halfway through my shift. It was a Wednesday night and for some reason, it was really busy. I was stressed out and I kept screwing up the orders. It wasn't all bad as Kyle saved me, telling the customers I was like a little dancing monkey. He made do a dance for them and the customers laughed and didn't seem angry.

Joel looked just as stressed as I felt. He offered me a tight smile as he approached. He spoke quietly with Kyle first, which made me sad because I should have been so much more than Kyle. I didn't know what they said. I couldn't eavesdrop because I had to make a drink for a snobby looking girl who kept snapping at me to hurry up. I wanted to throw an ice cube off of her head but I remembered how Joel had told me off for throwing and I wanted to prove to him that I was still a good dino.
