She sat there thinking one night how the life was like for the wealthy, the famous or any of them. To her it was if time stopped where she was. She had lost her parents to a car crash, and none of her family really wanted to take care of her so it was as if she never had that real family enviroment. When she was younger she went in and out of orphaniges and home after home. None really wanted to have her there because all people said was she was traumatized enough that it could effect her mentally and she could be a danger. When she hit 18 she was living in a small apartment with a friend she had made but she knew she had to do something than just stay there all the time.

Then one day she was in a restraunt that had help wanted in the window and she thought it was the perfect thing for her. It wouldnt pay much but it would still help her friend that she truly didnt know. So she started working there and to her it was a dream come true. When she started working one day she noticed a nicely dressed boy who had never been around before. Well in the restraunt, and so she decided to take his order and see why he was here. I took his order and he just ordered a piece of pie and coffee. It was not too ludicrous of an order but considering it was 6:30 in the morning it was a bit overboard. She set that aside and got the food and drink and set it by him. She gave him a small smile and went to walk away. Before she could get away he spoke to her.

"I have never seen you around here before." He said his voice deep but somehow like a soft feather.

"Ummm yeah, I just moved in with a friend of mine and decided to get a job." She said in a hushed voice that was laced with the shyness that colored her cheeks.

"Well just to help you get started...Here is a little something to get you going." He flashed a smile and handed her a $20.00 bill.

"Thank you, but I can't take it."

With that she strode over to the counter and wiped down the surface that didn't really have anything on it. It was hard because all people gave was pity. She was used to it and didn't feel like having it again in place. The twelve hours rolled by slowly but she didn't mind. It was peaceful to think about what she could do with her life when she got out of here. What she seen in her world was getting an apartment of her own and being able to buy things without worrying how she would pay the other things that were needed. Yeah, the money would have helped her but she only wanted money from what she earned and not from an arrogant self centered rich boy who felt bad for her. When her shift finished she walked to the place her and her friend shared and got ready for bed but when she went to go to sleep all she could think about was the boy. When she finally got some sleep it was heaven to her because all she wanted to do was sleep.

That morning she got up and decided to walk again to the restraunt. Again the same boy kept coming there to buy his usual and all he did was watch her instead of trying to give her another tip. So week after week it was the same routine. She kept telling herself it wasnt over her but all he did was watch her everyday for an hour straight. She couldn't understand why he did it but it did make her happy to see someone was interested in her in at least one way. One day he sat at the counter so she couldn't walk away from him.

"If you wont let me give you a tip for the work you do then why not come to dinner with me friday night?" He asked hopefully.

"Yeah, I guess so I mean I don't get done until 9 that night but if we can go at 10 then sure." She said quietly as she got his cup from under the counter and filled it with coffee.

"Then it's a date." He smiled as he drank his coffee and it made her hopeful that she actually had a date friday unlike the other times where she just goes to bed. Her roommate always had a date almost every night so they didnt see much of each other. Tonight somehow she managed to catch her friend and ask if she had anything she could wear friday night. She did and it happened to be a very simple but cute cocktail dress that was brand new.
