Chapter 9

It was such a pain getting up. I hate having to open at Pink Bear, I don’t even have to get up this early to get to my first class. I’d gotten a rare chastising by Joanie for looking like I’d applied my make-up with a broom. I was tired that morning from being up late and studying.

I frowned at my reflection after I finished my eye liner. I should have taken that assistant job at the library, they don’t care about eye liner. Or dresses. I could have stayed a boy. I wouldn’t have had that date with Jerry.

I smiled at my reflection. If I was being honest with myself, I had enjoyed our date. So what if Jerry’s a goofball? And why did Larry feel the need to ruin it? Ack! I checked the time on my phone. Amy would be here soon to pick me up and I’m not finished with my make-up.

I rushed, but not too much. I was just putting in my Pink Bear earrings when my phone rang. The caller ID said it was Amy so I punched the answer button and shouted, “I’m coming!”

I heard Amy giggle. “Well, good morning to you too!”

I shook my head. Leaving the phone lying on my desk, I said, “Sorry. I’ll be down in a minute.” I disconnected the call, leaned into the mirror and checked my make-up. I turned my head back and forth to check my hair and, before opening my room door, smoothed down my dress.

“Hey babe! Ya got a minute?” Larry was waiting to ambush me from the common area.

I scowled at Larry. “I’m in a hurry and I’m not your babe.”

Larry chuckled, “Babe. You’re everybody’s babe. But about last night…”

Pointing at his chest as I tried to hurry past him, “You know, Larry, that was low even for you, ambushing us like that. You could have taken your friend. You didn’t need Jerry’s car.”

“My car was broken down…” was all I heard when the elevator door closed. Does he really expect me to believe that?

As I trotted out of the dormitory building, Amy stuck her head out of the car window and shouted, “We’re going to be late!”

When I got inside her car and started to close the passenger door, I said, “Just run a few red lights like you usually do. We’ll be fine.”

We arrived with many seconds to spare. Amy was getting the cash registers ready while I walked slowly, and I mean slowly, to unlock the front door. There was already a line forming outside the door. I turned around to look through the door way to the kitchen and wondered if they ever went home. The kitchen crew was always ready to go.

As I opened the front door, I said, “Good morning everyone! Welcome to Pink Bear!”

The first boy through the door looked at me and grinned. “Do you have a boyfriend?”

I frowned at him and said, “I don’t want to date you.”

He looked confused for a moment.
