Can't Help Falling In Love novel Chapter 6

Audrey; She is just like me..

If I'm not mistaken, Audrey and I are the only the poor students in the whole school..

There might be many more but most are pretencious.

I finished eating, dropped the plate aside, sat upright and began to do what I love the most - singing -It will sure take me places someday.

I began to sing one of my favourite songs but my parents voices won't even let me hear mine.

Arrgh! I lay on the bed hopelessly with a pillow on my head, covering my ears... Yet, I could still hear them, loud and clear.

Audrey's POV

I walked into the beautiful restaurant with blinking, sparkling and flashy lights.

There were so many people, some were with their lovers, some were alone drinking and there was this particular table circled with guys, ruffians... Ugh! I hope I'm not making a mistake.

I walked straight with no exact direction and a girl noticed I was lost.

"WHS babe" She called out as she walked over to me.

Wait! How did she know where I school? Oh I was still wearing my uniform.

"Hi" I replied.

"Do you want something? or are you looking for someone? You seem lost" She said to me. She's friendly, thank goodness.

She wore a pink shirt and I noticed she wasn't the only one, their uniform I guess.

"I.. I'm new here, like I came to work here" I tried to explain myself.

"Are you Audrey Kathleen?" She asked me.

"Yes " I answered.

"Oh come, we've been expecting you! " She said.

Like We? Who are the 'We'?. I just smiled nervously anyway.

"Climb this stairs, the first room you would come across is the manager's room" She directed, pointing at a Zig-zig stairs.

"OK thanks! "

"You are welcome" She said and went to serve someone. She was with a tray of food which smells yummy!

I got to the room she had directed me to, stood there for some seconds asking myself if I was really ready to work here, then finally, I knocked on the door and I got a response immediately.

"Come on in"

I sighed then opened the door and walked in.

"Evening ma'am" I perfunctorily greeted.

The restaurant manager is a woman and she is very plumpy.

"Evening, are you Audrey? " She queried.

"Yeah"

Indeed everyone has been expecting me.

"Come over here or will you keep standing there? " She said.. That was when i realised I was still standing at the door.

"Oh" I mouthed and moved closer.

She brought out a new pink shirt from somewhere maybe the drawer or a very small closet, Then she dropped it on the table.

"Here is your uniform, you must have noticed it" She said.

"Yes ma'am" I said.

"Since you are not with a jean trouser or skirt then you would be wearing it on your school uniform " The woman said.

Ah! Awkward!
