Long Story Short (CS#1)

Chapter 8: Weird Unexpected Fan

"So ... did you call her here or something?"

There's a few seconds of questions mark in my head before I get what Mel is trying to say. However, when I get her point I take it as an offense. "What? Me? Initiate to call a fan? Are you for real, bitch? It's me we're talking about. You know me too well, duh."

Zell laughed.

Mel just rolled her eyes. "Uh, whatever."

"Okay bitches, before we began to fight here, let's just questions these little bitch infront of us who's the reasons of our confusion,"

"Right. Good idea, bitch." Mel and I agreed in chorus.

We all turns our attention to the cute-looking girl. And the moment we did, her face lights up as if telling us 'yes! It's my time to shine'.

These girl. I think, she's the walking weird emojis. With that knock-off bright neon green color t-shirt, an orange skirt and a weirdo hairdos. Uh! What kind of fashion sense is that? So weird!

She's like a frustrated vintage or rather a vibrant fashion enthusiast!

Speaking of fashion. I like fashion. I'm not really a fashionista but I do like dressing up. If you'd ask us what our type of fashion we have with my bitches. I would say, Zell's style is preppy with touch of gayness, Mel is fan of chic wardrobes, like literally you would only saw her with black and white or neutral colors and she never wears revealing or daring clothes. She's the epitome of elegance and classiness in terms of fashion.

Well, as for me, I can't ignore other colors. Like I would be rating myself as 'boring' if I don't wear a bold colors once in a while. However, I won't rate myself as preppy like Zell because I only wear that style when I feels like it. So, in that being said, I would say my style falls in the category of a trendy fashion style. Why? Because I follow the season's trend. Like for example; preppy is the style trend today, so I'm wearing one.

Anyway, I stop analyzing the fashion style of them when Zell spoke.

"Hey you there, state your name and your business with us." Zell ask as if intimidating her.

On the contrary, this cute-looking girl seems like doesn't have an idea that she's being intimidated because she even excitedly reply.

"I'm Alona Jiyura Fujizaki Gonzales! I'm eighteen years old. Nice meeting you all.." Ngumiti ito ng malapad pagkasabi nun at parang tangang nag-wave pa ng kamay sa'min.

Sabay-sabay kaming napataas kilay.

So, what?

"So what?" Naisatinig ni Zell ang nais kong sabihin.

Natigilan ito bigla at parang nawalan ng sasabihin pero mayamaya ay may naalala ito. Bigla inabot nito sa'min ang papel na hawak nito na noon lang namin napansin. Napakunot-noo ako dahil ang sabi dun sa papel ay 'We're Hiring'.

Huh?

Napakunot-noo rin si Zell pakakuha sa papel. "You found these outside my café?"

Tumango-tango ang babae.

"Uh-huh? You're wrong, I never posted such thing outside my café." Napairap si Zell.

Namilog ang mata ng babae at agresibong umiling-iling. "Hindi. Nakita ko po talaga 'yan sa labas at gusto kong po sanang mag-apply."

"Seriously? Then who posted these?" Tumingin sa'kin bigla si Zell na parang inaakusahan ako.

Tinaasan ko naman siya ng kilay. "Duh bitch, magkasama tayo. Paano ko ipapaskil yan sa labas?"

Nang titingin na si Zell kay Mel, tumayo bigla si Mel dahil may mga pumasok na bagong mga customer at kailangan siya sa counter pero bago kami iwan nito ay may ibinulong mo na ito kay Zell na narinig ko naman. "I posted it bitch because you see, you need it."

Nanlaki ang mata ni Zell. "I knew it. That bitch. Feeling boss."

Napangisi ako. "Mel has a point though, you need employees. "

Umirap ito. "Sa tingin mo bitch hindi ko knows 'yan? Malamang alam ko 'iyan, kaya naman.." Bigla itong tumingin sa babae. "You can start today."

Sabay na nanlaki ang mata namin ng babae. Sa tuwa pa nito ay napapalakpak pa ito. Nag react naman ako. "Oh Em Gee! For real?!"

"Hep, hep! Don't celebrate to soon because I have a condition."

Bigla parang naglaho ang saya ni cute-looking girl. Ako naman parang nalungkot din tuloy para sa kanya at the same time na-curious kung ano ang kondisyon ni Zell. "Ano naman iyang kondisyon mo? It's better be good, huh?!"

Zell just rolled his eyes, ignored me and turned to the cute-looking girl. "My condition is for you to change your fashion sense."

The moment Zell said that, it seems like her world shattered for hearing the word 'fashion sense'. I narrowed my eyes on her.

So she knows her style is weird all along, huh?

And it looks like she deal with it every single time?

Now, I feel bad.

But feeling bad for others might be also be the baddest because I blurted out something I shouldn't have.

"Hire her, I will transform her later."

Shit!
