Payton's P.O.V

"Welcome to Dixies diner, what can I get for you?" I ask a man as the bell chimes meaning someone walked in. I look over my shoulder to see Shawn and Aaron with a girl, who I assumed was Oliva. Once Shawn realizes I'm standing there. He smiles and waves. I turn back around and take the man's order, I go back to the cook and hand him the order. I turn around and face Ashley, my co-worker. She just graduated, so she's not that much older than me.

"want me to take that table again?" she asks referring to Shawn and his friends who sat down at a table in the corner.

"no, I'm okay, I'm friends with one of them now, so I got this, thanks though. I appreciate you dealing with my weirdo-ness" I laugh.

"of course, you need anything just let me know" she smiles. I take a breath and walk up to the table

"welcome to Dixies Diner, what can I get you?" I say. Shawn glances up at me.

"what. I have to say that to everyone customer. No matter who it is" I mumble.

"you must be Payton, I've heard so much about you" the girl says holding out her hand. I shake it and raise an eye brow

"a lot of things from him? I'm pretty sure they were not all good things" I laugh.

"hey what's that supposed to mean" Shawn says. I shrug and look behind me to see more customers have walked through the door

"I have to help other customers, so are you guys getting anything?" I ask. I take their orders and I give it to the cook. I walk around, helping customers Glancing at Shawn every so often to see him either laughing or listening to something the others were saying.

"is that your boo thang?" Ashley says coming up behind me

"hm. No. not yet. We're going on a date tomorrow night. But I'm sure he doesn't want a relationship with me. I have to many problems and I'm a mess" I shake my head. Grabbing my book from below the counter.

"Payton, shut up. you may have a lot of problems, and I got to admit you are a huge mess. But not a bad mess. And if he can't see how amazing you are. Then he isn't worth it" she says rubbing my shoulder. I smile at her and nod

"thank you. you always know what to say" I say.

"I'm going on my break, now that its slowed down, you good?" she asks. I nod and open my book.

"yeah the only ones here is Shawn and his friends" I say. she nods and clocks out

"alright, see you in 30 minutes" she says and walks to the back. I look down at my book and start reading.

Shawn's P.O.V

"How do you even know she likes me. like to be honest. She could have just said yes because she felt bad" I shrug. Aaron scoffs and rolls his eyes

"well, she keeps on glancing at you every so often. And smiling. she likes you dude. And, you now have the best idea because of us. so, there you go. Your life is set" he smirks. I roll my eyes and look over at Payton to see she's looking down reading a book. I smile and look down

"I don't think I have ever liked someone this much" I mumble.

"yeah I know dude. We all have noticed. Now, we gots to go. You should go home, you look really tired" he says standing up.

"yeah. I didn't sleep last night" I rub my eyes

"go home and sleep. You look dead. Bye dude" he pats my shoulder. I smile at them as they walk out. I walk up to the counter as Payton looks up at me.

"how much" I smile, she shakes her head and takes the ticket out of my hands

"it's on the house. Thanks for coming to see me" she smiles.

"are you sure? I don't mind paying for it" I say.

"yes, I'm sure. I don't get off for another hour. And you need sleep, so I'll see you tomorrow at school?" she puts the ticket in her pocket.

"Maybe. If I decide to go" I smirk.

"you better go. I don't want to be alone" she laughs.

"I'll be there. Bye Payton, thank you for everything" I smile before grabbing my keys.

"bye Shawn. See you tomorrow" she says going back to her book. I smile to myself as I walk out the door. I go to my car and get in. a smile still on my face

"oh Payton, what are you doing to me"
