Waitress by Kennedy Armstrong (the beach read txt) 📕

I head straight for my room and I change into my pajamas. I get into bed and fall right asleep.

The next morning I wake up at nine o'clock. The first thing I do is take a shower and throw on a red tank top with shorts and some sandals. I then brush my brown hair and then I go downstairs to see no one home. My parents work on Saturdays sometimes, so they're most likely at work. I hear a knock at my door and I quickly go and open it to see Tasha.

"Hey, my parents let me borrow their car, lets go somewhere", she says smiling while hopping up and down. I laugh and her and roll my eyes before shutting my front door and getting into her parents car with her.

"So, where are we going to go", I ask her as she pulls out of my driveway.

"Hmm, we could go walk around the mall, I have twenty dollars from babysitting", she says smiling at me with a hopeful look on her face. I shrug.

"I guess, I don't mind looking at stuff I can't get", I say smiling at her. But I really don't care not being able to get things I can't have. As we drive down a street I watch as Tasha takes a CD out and put it in the radio. When I hear the song I like it Like That by Hot Chelle Ray I look at her funny.

"Really Tasha, this song is so old now", I say smiling at her as she dances while driving.

"So, I still love this song, I don't care how old it is. This used to be our favorite song", she says reminding me how me and her would scream this song super loud whenever it played on the radio. She then begins singing.

"Lets get it on, yeah, ya'll can come along everybody drinks on me, bought out the bar, just to feel like I'm a star, now I'm thanking the Academy". She says yelling and singing while looking at me a few times as I laugh at her.

"Come one Belle, sing it with me", I roll my eyes and begin singing with her when the chorus starts.

"I like it like that, hey windows down chillin' with the radio on. I like it like that, damn sun so hot, make the girls take it all off. I like it like that, yeah, ]one more time, I can never get enough, oh everybody sing it right back I like it like that", me and her yell the song together. By time the song goes off were at the mall. She turns off the car and we get out. She locks the door and puts the keys in her bag.

Me and her walk around the mall looking at a lot of cute clothes and shoes. "If only I could afford this shirt", she says holding a shirt up to the top half of her body. We walk out of the store and we walk to the food court to sit down, until I hear my name being called from behind me. I turn around and see VJ walking up to me.

"Hey, what's up", he says smirking at me. He then looks at Tasha and says hey to her to. She looks at me and smiles wiggling her eyebrows. I look at her and hit her shoulder and then I look back at VJ.

"Hi", I say giving him a small smile. "Were just going to find a seat to sit at", I say answering him.

"Oh, you should come sit with us", he says pointing to a table with the two other guys that I saw from the diner. "I think all of the other tables are full". I look around and notice that all the tables are full, I then look back at him and I nod.

"Sure", I say. Me and Tasha follow him to his table.

"Isn't he the guy I said was staring at you in the diner last night", she says smiling at me.

"He wasn't staring at me, and yes", I say answering her question. She giggles a little bit before saying something else.

"He cuter up close". I don't answer her anymore because now were at his table. Tasha sits down and VJ pulls my chair out for me.

"Thank you", I say to him as I sit down. I look over at Tasha to see her wiggling her eyebrows again. I roll my eyes at her.

"So, this is Brinley and Jake", VJ says pointing at them when he says their names. Brinley has dark brown hair and dark green eyes and Jake has dark brown hair and light brown eyes.

"Hey, your diner girl", Brinley says pointing at me. "My cheese burger was good", he says smiling. I notice Tasha staring at Jake and Jake looking back at her smiling.

I look next to me to see VJ already looking at me and I blush and quickly turn around to see Tasha smiling at me. Then she begins talking.

"So, VJ", she says looking at VJ. "What does VJ stand for", she asks him smiling.

"It stands for Van Jameson", he says smirking at Tasha.

"Yeah , he doesn't like his name", Jake says to her. She just nods her head while thinking to herself.

"So, AnaBelle, isn't she so pretty, I mean any guy would be so lucky to have a girl like her. Her last boyfriend was a jerk, he actually ch-", she rambles on and on until I cut her off with my hand.

"Tasha, come to the restroom with me please", I say smiling at her. I notice Jake and Brinley smiling trying to hold in a laugh.

"Why, I don't need to use it", she says looking at me. I raise my eyebrows at her and I widen my eyes at her. She rolls her eyes at me.

"Fine, I'll come to the bathroom with you", she says. We both get up and make our way to the bathroom. I hear Jake and Brinley laughing. When he get in the bathroom I close the door behind me.

"Tasha, what are you doing", I ask her as I put my hands on my hips. She looks around wondering what I'm talking about.

"What do you mean, I'm standing in a restroom", she says acting as If she doesn't know what I'm talking about.

"Tasha you know what I mean".

"Ugh sorry, sorry. It's just that I can tell you like VJ", she says to me. I scrunch my eyebrows together.

"Wait wait hold up, 'like VJ' who said that I liked VJ", I say to her crossing my arms. She's always assuming things.

"Oh I can tell when you like a guy Belle. You blush a lot and when your sitting close to the guy you constantly shake your leg out of nervousness", she say smiling at me. I roll my eyes at her because she's right, but I don't like VJ, I barely know him.

"Whatever, this conversation is over, lets go", I say walking out of the bathroom just to bump into someone. I look up and see a guy that I always told myself I never wanted to see again.

"Oh wow, look who it is", I hear Tasha say to me as she looks up at the guy.

"Oh, why don't you shut up", he says to her still looking at me. I look away from him and I grab Tasha's arm.

"Come one Tasha", I say pulling her back to the table where VJ and his friends are. I notice the guy is still following us.

"Wait, Belle, please we should talk", I hear him say from behind me as I'm still walking away with Tasha's arm in my hand. I quickly tune around and look at him.

"No, we don't need to talk. Just leave me alone Wyatt", I say to him before turning back around to see VJ standing next to me.

"Just talk to me damn it", Wyatt says angrily towards me. I begin to talk but I don't get a chance to because VJ begins talking.

"Dude, she said no, leave her alone", VJ says as he pulls me and Tasha behind him. Wyatt looks at VJ and smiles.

"This has nothing to do with you, this is between me and my girl", he says pointing at me. I walk from behind VJ and look Wyatt in his face with anger and disgust.

"Your girl, really", I say looking at him angrily. "You can just go ahead and shove that thought up your ass because the last time I checked you cheated on me with some slut you met at a party. So why don't you go back to her", I say to him before walking away and sitting at the table with Jake and Brinley. The both of them are looking around not knowing what to do. Tasha and VJ sit back down and the table is quiet.

"Hey, you want to walk around with me for a minute", VJ asks me. I look over at Tasha and she shrugs.

"That's fine with me, I can just hand with Jake and Brinley", she says smiling at Jake. I stand up as VJ stands and we begin walking around.

"You alright", he asks me as he looks at me. I look his way and I nod.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I just really hate that guy", I say slightly smiling at him.

"I could tell", he says to me. Then it gets quiet again and were just walking. After a few minutes I speak up.

"Thank you for trying to help by the way, it was nice of you", I say looking down as I feel his gaze on me.

"Your welcome", he says. "So, does your friends always ramble about you to people she just meets", he asks laughing and I laugh with him.

"She's, just very weird, but I love her for her weirdness", I say still laughing with him. "Does your friend Jake always stare girls down, or is Tasha just special", I say smiling at him.

"He probably likes her. I mean, when I like a girl it's pretty hard for me not to look at her", he says staring down at me. I blush and look back down to the floor. I hear his phone vibrate and I watch him as he pulls it out and reads what I'm guessing is a message.

"Uh, Jake just texted me and told me that him and Tasha left. He says that I have to take you home", VJ says to me as he puts his phone into his pocket.

"I have to be at work soon, so can you take me there", I ask him and he nods at me.

When VJ takes me to the diner I get greeted by everyone like yesterday. I walk to the back and put on my robe and grab my pen and notepad.

"AnaBelle, you've been requested", Gina says laughing. Ugh, like I said, I get this every single day. I walk over to Mr. Unis's table.

"Good afternoon Mr. Unis", I say writing down what he always gets. I look back at him and he's smiling.

"Well, don't you look beautiful like always", he says laughing. I roll
