you acting like this? Why are you even running? We not dating.

' he said
"You don't think I know that. Can you leave me the hell alone and finish making out with Trish."
Adrian smiled. I tried looking away, but I couldn't. Thank God I have my helmet on, so he can't see me blushing.
"Are you jealous that I were with another girl?"
"Ew. Of course not, jerk." My heart start racing. This always happen.
"Zoey, you don;t have to hide your feelings for me."
"I'm nor lying!" I said quickly.
Adrian's eyebrow rose. "Fine." He gave me a charming smile and still wasn't moving.
"Adrian, if you don't move, I will punch you so hard in the face, no girl will be asking for your number."
"Real harsh, Zoey. You still mad about what happened earlier ago."
Adrian moved out my way. Before I drove off, I said. "No.' I drove away from the school quickly. I don't know why I'm acting like this. I am not jealous. We just met yesterday. I don't have feelings for Adrian. All I feel like doing is punching him in his face. He just get me mad so mad all of the time. 'sigh' I need to stop thinking of him. I need to worry about getting to work. Adrian already got me late for my shift at the diner. I work at Hope's Diner. Hope is my boss and also a friend of my father. Ever since Dad died, she would help Brian and Michelle take care of me. When I was old enough, she hired me to work in her diner. Hope is in her late 30's. She has brown hair, brown eyes, olive skin, and every time she smiles, she has dimples. She has a six year- old son named Zachary and she is a single mother because her husband filed for a divorce. His name is Tony. He visits Zachary every few years. Hope doesn't like talking about him. Hope and I get along so well, so I hope she is not mad that I'm late.

When I get to the diner, I parked my motorcycle and went into the diner. Hope frowned at me when I came in. I went to Hope.

"I'm sorry I'm late. I have a good reason why I am late." I said
"Ok. Tell me your reason." she said
"I pulled my helmet off and smooth my hair out my face.
"It was this guy. He's new to our school. He is a jerk. He wouldn't let me leave."
Hope smile. "A guy. Oh, so what is his name."
"Adrian. Now, can I..."
"Is he cute?" she interrupted me.
I blush. "I guess. Why you ask?"
"You blushing. You like him?"
"No! I don't like him. We just met yesterday. Besides, we argue a lot. I'm probably not his type, we are totally different."
"I don't believe you. I think you have a crush on him."
"I DO NOT!!" I said loudly
Everybody stop talking and stared at me and Hope. I blush with embarrassment.
"Okay Zoey. Whatever you say. You can start work now."
"Thank you." I walked to the back room to sign in. After I signed in, I went to the dressing room to change into my work clothes. I left the dressing room and went to get the notepad and a pen to take orders.

Some students from school were here. I got some people's order and served their food. I sat down on the booth to take a break and brought me a chocolate shake. Hope came to me and smile.

"There is another customer. Show them to their table." Hope said
"I am on break. Why can't you get Joe to do it?" I said
"Because the guy is so hot and he asked for you." I froze, turned around and see Adrian with Lily. They was talking to each other. I turned back to Hope.
"Oh no. I can't. Please Hope. Get Joe to do it."
"Why you acting like this?"
"He is the guy I was talking about. Adrian." I whispered
"Oh. This the guy you was talking about. He is fine. No wonder you have a crush on him."
"How many times I have to tel you. I do not have a crush on him."
"Prove it. I frowned
"Fine." I stood up and grabbed the notepad and pen.
"Put a smile on your face." I smile and turned around. I went to Adrian and Lily and showed them to their seat.

Before Adrian sat down, I stopped him.

"I need to talk to you. in private." I said
"Now you want to talk." Adrian said
"Shut up and come with me." I took Adrian's hand and led him to the back room, in Hope's office. I let go of Adrian's hand and shut the door. He rose a eyebrow and stared at me with curiosity.

"What are you doing here? Are you stalking me?" I said
"Why do you think that?" Adrian leaned against the wall and was starting at me.
"First, you know where I live. Now, you know where I work, so if you don't answer my answer my question, I will call the police."
"Calm down Zoey. I am not stalking you. Lily wanted to come here because she was hungry."
"Oh. Then ask someone else to be your waiter." Adrian start checking me out.
"Nice uniform." I blush when I realized the work clothes I was wearing was a gray dress.
"Thanks. Now tell Hope that you want a different waiter because I'm not going to be the one."
Adrian leaned off the wall and came to me. I couldn't move back because Hope's desk was behind me. He smooth my hair out my face and leaned down like he was going to kiss me. Adrian smiled. My heart was beating so fast. I closed my eyes.

"No. I just want you as our waiter." Adrian whispered in my ears. I opened my eyes and frowned. Before I could say anything, he left out the office. I growled and kicked the desk. I stayed into the office until I calmed down. When I was calm enough, I walked out the office.

I took two menu's and went to Adrian and Lily's table. They stopped talking when I came. I gave them their menu's and grabbed my pen and notepad from my pocket. Hope walked past me and said "Smile."

'sigh' I smiled.
"Welcome to Hope's Diner. My name is Zoey and I am your waitress this evening. What would you like to order?" I said.
"Hi, Zoey. I would like a salad with a glass of water." Lily said. I wrote it down and stared at Adrian.
"What about you?" I said
Adrian looked up at me and smiled. "I would like a double bacon cheese burger with fries and a Coke." Adrian said. I wrote his order on the note pad.
"I'll come back with your drinks." I said
"I left their table and went into the kitchen. I gave the chef, Taylor, the order. I poured Adrian and Lily drinks into a cup. Joe came to me. Joe is a waiter and my friend. He has blonde hair and blue eyes. When Joe were in high school, he started to realize he likes guys. He wear high fashion clothes and he is always cheerful. Right now, he is in college and he is in his 20's.

"Zoey, what's wrong? It look like you want to scream." Joe said
"I do. Who the hell he think he is for coming to my job? I can't get no peace around here. First at school, now here. I just want to punch him the hell out of him. When will he get the hint that I want him to leave me alone?" I said
"Zoey, sweetie, calm down. What are you talking about?"
"This guy from school."
"Where?" Joe start looking around excitedly.
"Over there, by the window." I pointed to Adrian.
"Oh my gosh. He is do fine. If you don't want him, give him to me. I'll take him." I rolled my eyes.
"I don't want him, but he is not attracted to guys."
"Too bad, I would have rocked his world. Well, don't worry, I got your back. Oh, I need to give you something. I forgot to give it to you yesterday." Joe dug into his apron pocket and pulled out a wrapped gift.
"What is this?"
"A birthday present."
"Joe, told you I don't want no gifts."
"Please Zoey. You didn't accept my gift last year. Please accept this one."
I groaned. "Fine." I took the gift and put the gift in my pocket. "I'll open it later."
"Joe smiled. "Thank you Zoey. You are going to love it." Joe walked away smiling.

I grabbed Adrian's and Lily's drinks and brought it to them. I put it on the tab;e and gave them a straw. Before I could leave, Lily called my name. I went back to their table.

"Is there a problem?" I said.
Lily smiled. "Of course not. It's just, I heard it was your birthday yesterday. Why you didn't tell me?" she said
"Who told you that?" I stared at Adrian and frowned.
"What?" he said
"Adrian didn't tell me. Brittany told me."
I growled. "I don't want to talk about this." I said
"I know, but if we going to be friends, I at least want to give you a birthday present tomorrow." Lily said
"When did both of you become friends? Adrian asked. I ignored him.
"I do not want any presents, so you won't have to worry about it." I said
"Why not? That guy gave you a present." Lily said
"I closed my eyes. "Can we talk about this later? I just want to get back to work." I said
"Ok, but I am still giving you a gift tomorrow." Lily said. I opened my eyes and stared at Lily.
"Fine." I said. I was about to turn around, but Lily called me again.
"Sit down. You need a break." Lily said
"I can't. I need to work." I said
"Zoey, sit don." I gave up and sat down next to Lily. "Why are you always so uptight. Every time I see you, you always look so tense."
"That's not true."

"Yes it is. You always cranky." Adrian said
I glared at him. "If you wasn't always a jerk, I wouldn't be cranky." I said
"Of course, you blaming me, again. What did I ever do to you. Ever since I got here, you have been crazy."
"Crazy? I am not crazy."
"Denial. No wonder you can't get a boyfriend."
"I can get a boyfriend. I just don't want one."
"Yeah right. Every time when someone ask you out, you say no."
"It is none of your business. At least I don't make out with every girl in the school."
"You know what, I am getting sick and tired of your jealousy."
I stood up. "Jealous. I am not jealous. You don't know me."
Adrian stood up. "You don't know me."
"Uh, guys?" Lily said. Me and Adrian ignored her.
"I'm not going to listen to this. I'm leaving." I said. I turned around and start walking away.
"Of course. That what you always do when you in an argument." he said. I stopped and turned around.
"You right. Let me finish this argument." I went to the table, grabbed his soda, and poured it all over him. Everybody gasped. I turned back around and walked away. I opened the door to the back door and went inside. I slammed the door and sat down on the chair. I smooth my hair out my face. Hope came in frowning.
