Greg's party was coming up and as usual Melanie had alot planned. She and Micah had an argument over Lotta and it was making her upset not because she liked Micah, the only reason she was with Micah in the first place was to spite Lotta. Through out summer break she had kept on posting pictures of her and Micah on her i********: to annoy Lotta and now she was losing him to her and
"That is not how winners win, think Melanie Rodrigo"
She whispered in frustration as she arranged the dresses on the mannequin. She had an hour before her next shift at a handbag retail store began but she was hungry and you know what that meant she had to go to Gabby's. After the last incident she was reluctant but she was tired of eating over priced hamburgers that didn't taste nice so she had to go Gabby's.
"Do I have a choice?"
This time around she went with her work uniform on appearantly she was too hungry to care and she was in luck because there was no line today.
"What would you like to eat?"
_thank God it's not him_
She thought to herself
"I'd like one pizza cake and a strawberry smoothie please"
After about 10 minutes they brought her food for her. As she was turning to leave the restaurant
"You got one pizza cake today, what happened to your appetite?"
Immediately she dropped the food on the floor because of how startled she was. Yes, it was Mr handsome.
"Arrrrghhh" out of frustration off course.
"Hey, I'm sorry. Listen I'll get another one on the house, please sit down"
Angrily she did sit down
"Don't touch me"
"I won't"
"I'm already running late for next shift"
He brought the food and they both exchanged glances her's was a hateful stare while his was just curiousity with a mix of confusion
"I don't get it why do you hate me so much that you can't even stand me"
"You're just full of crap, the other day you tried to do something funny but I walked out on you, if you don't want me to call the cops on you--"
"Hold up missy, that night I only wanted you to attend a charity event my step mom was organizing that's why I said they're other ways to say thank you"
"Really, but your hand was trying touch my hair--"
"There was confetti dust stuck on it, you're welcome"
"So you weren't trying to get me to do anything with you"
"Not at all Miss Delulu"
"Hey I'm not delulu, you're the delulu one"
"Sure whatever"
Goes and gets her food
"Here's your food Miss Delusional"
Melanie carries it and is about to leave when she decides to ask him.
"Why did you want to invite me in the first place?"
"You sounded rich and I thought you were nice until today now I know you're just a regular rich snotty person"
"No I'm not"
"Yes you are"
"Listen I'm late for my next shift, I gotta go"
She rushed out of the restaurant but forgets her purse.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Melanie is standing by her locker deep in confusion when someone taps her shoulder.
"You again, what is it this time listen I don't want to go for any of your charity events--"
"Yooo calm down miss delulu, you forgot your purse at Gabby's--"
"Oh my goodness thank you"
Tries to grab it but Mr handsome raises it high up
"Not too fast missy, don't you wanna hear the story of how I found you?"
"Nope, not really"
Tries to jump and get it but he throws it to his other hand.
"I went through alot to find out who you are, you really don't want to know how I climbed ten mountains and seven oceans to get here"
"Nooooo, just give me my purse, I couldn't sleep all night trying to find it"
"Well you could listen to my story or keep looking for it?"
Melanie pauses folds her arms and looked at him.
"Now, Incase you don't know this is my territory I run things here, one scream and you'll be in the principles office"
"Plot twist, I school here"
"What?"
"And I know you're not really rich, you're just lying to everyone"
"I don't know what you're talking about"
"Yes, you do. I had to go five different stores just to find you, appearantly you work at those places"
"Shuuu, keep your voice down" she whispers
"Now, do you wanna hear my story?" he jerks with joy
"Okay" she rolls her eyes and agrees passively.
"Okay, so as soon as you left I noticed you left your purse but when I got outside to give you, you were gone, man you move fast--"
"Hey, why you talking to my girl?"
Micah appears from nowhere and starts talking to Mr handsome. Passively pushes him and they're about to fight but Melanie gets in the middle of it.
"The both of you should stop it for God sake"
"I didn't do anything he attacked me first"
"Melanie why you defending him, I know you're mad at me but now you're out with him?"
"Micah, it's not what you think--"
"Then tell me--"
"So I found her purse and I'm returning back to her, see"
He shows Micah the purse
"Exactly" Melanie says
Micah looks at her then walks away with frustration.
"Look at what you've caused"
"You won't run after him?"
"Ewwwww, I know my worth, please"
"Sweet to know, I kinda thought you would since you are popularity thirsty I thought you'd be desperate to keep him"
"Ewwww I'm not desperate to keep anybody, I'm the prize"
"Well you do look like a trophy miss delulu or should I should I say Melanie Rodrigo"
"So you went through my ID?"
"How did you think l was able to find you? Anyway I got a class now, catch you later"
"Wait, what's your name?"
He tells her as he's running backwards
"Gabriel Iglesias"
"So you're Spanish too"
"From the sound of it".
