Running into danger

Starting Work

"Tell me everything," Lily says while walking into English, our first class of the day. I had texted her last night letting her know that I got both jobs. So we spent all our classes talking about the interviews or lack of interview at the grill I should say. After talking all day with Lily I was in deep thought about the lack of interview at the Grill while walking to my car.

I got in and drove home making it like usual at 1:15. I made some chicken soup for lunch then sat down to do my homework. Homework barely took any time, I have been keeping up with it lately, so I stared watching a old comedy show I had DVRD. At 4pm I started getting ready for work first with a hot shower then into my waitress uniform.

Driving to the grill had me slightly freaking out, because this is my first day at my first job. Also when I talked to Lily at school this morning she had said to be careful about this job cause she believed the local gang frequently visited this Grill. By time I drove to the grill I had decided I would keep my head down and not draw attention to my self.

Walking inside I saw the same bar tender as yesterday.I walk up to him and give him a quiet "Hey," trying to start with my new resolution of keeping my head down.

"Hey, boss is in the back waiting for you."

"Okay," I say as I head to the back room.As I walk in Romain stands and walks towards me.

"I'm glad you made it on time. I am going to give you a tour of the grill then have you work with Edgar," he states as we were starting the tour. He showed me the back locker room that had a locker for me and I am guessing the rest of the staff. Then he showed me the kitchen and introduced me to the chef Javi and the bust boy Lucas. After introductions we headed to the dinning room where the bar tender, and waitress were. Samantha the waitress seemed super happy to have a companion and Edgar the bar tender seemed indifferent. Romain passed me to Edgar.

"I'm not 21 yet," I started to tell Edgar but he just shook it off. Samantha laughed," I just turned 20. We all start with bar tending then move to other spots." She informed me.

I learnt a whole bunch from Edgar and in no time my first shift was over at 11pm. "Tomorrow same time?" I asked Edgar. He replied with a short yes and went back to wiping the counter down. Edgar is a man of few words, at 25 he says he learnt young on that words were a waste if you constantly use them.

As I was leaving Romain exited his office, I assume to leave for the day. "Do you need a ride?" He asked.

"No, I have a car," I replied.

"OK I'll walk you out." Before I could say I was fine we were walking out. "How was your first day?"

"It was good. I can't wait till I master what Edgar has for me ," Isay and then curse my self it sounded kind of perverted when I heard it come out.

He laughed, with no humor, as we walked up to my truck. " Night Leaanna." He said turning around heading back to the grill.

I drove home. Laying in bed right before going to sleep I was feeling really good about how things were going this week.
