Chapter 3

Andrea

I just went to the library after we say goodbye to each other. I always go here every lunch because it is quiet here.

Noise is not allowed wherever you go in the library. When you make a noise, get ready in the librarian's mouth and get ready to be sent out of the library.

I sat down at one of the tables at th end of the corner and I pulled out a book. I also pulled out my phone and earphones so I could listen to a song.

I prefer to listen to a song when reading.

After a long discussion of each class, I finally went home. My brain is tired, it's so hard to study.

First day of class they already gave us a lot of work as if the class already started for a long time.

Our classmates also don't change often, Whoever your classmates were last year, they will also be your classmates the other year.

There are changeables, of course. But we already know because we all part of the section. We know each other, unless they were like me who has no interest around and doesn't know everyone's name.

~ Home ~

"I'm home." O shouted as I get in to our house to let them know that I'm home.

I saw Andrew reading a book in the living room.

"Why did you come home late? The school time ends earlier." He asked. "I read a book before I went home." I answered.

"Hi, Andrea." Shan greeted me with a smile.

I didn't notice her.

I just smiled at him in response then I went up to my room. I changed my clothes and lay down on my bed.

I'm so tired because of school. Today is first day of class but it feels like I've been studying for so long. I miss the vacation.

I was going to close my eyes when there was a sudden knock in my room. I have not yet tell him that he can enter inside but he already opened the door and went straight into my room.

He treats my room like his own room. But when we want to enter his room, he won't let us in, tss. By the way, he's my second brother.

"Why, Andrello?" I ask him.

He approached me and then sat at the foot of my bed. I sat down to face him.

"Are you going to do something?" He asked.

I asked him and he answered me using a question too? Awesome!

"Sleep." My answer.

"Just help our parents at the restaurant. Go to bed later at night."

"Why me? Why don't you go there yourself and help them?"

"I'm going somewhere so it's just you." That's all he said and he left.

I'm lazy, yes, but when it comes to ou restaurant I help out. I'm just not really in the mood right now so I don't want to do anything. I'm sleepy.

But there was nothing I could do even to complain because my good brother had left me. I changed my clothes again and went downstairs.

"Where are you going?" Andrew asked when I went down to the living room of our house.

"Restaurant." I didn't bother to look at him.

I left the house and drove to the restaurant. The restaurant is not far from our house so I got there in a while.

I put on an apron and started working. I took a customer's order and delivered it to their table. Our parents is in the kitchen and helps with cooking.

"What's your order?" I asked the newly arrived customer.

I listed what he said and took it to the kitchen. I continue the work that I'm doing. Getting the customers order and delivering it to their table.

It was tiring but we didn't have time to rest.

A new customer came in so I greeted it.

"Welcome." I greeted them.

They sat down at the empty table.

"Let me take your order." I took out my note and pen to list their order.

"Hi, Andrea." I was stunned and wondering why the customer knew me so I looked at them.

It's Alexa and her friends.

Why do I keep seeing them? Even here at our restaurant. Not that I don't want to see them. I just didn't expect them to be here and I would see them here.

"What's your order?" I asked them.

Theysaid their order so I handed it to Patrice.

"Table 8." I said and handed her Alexa's order list.

I took their order when I got it and laid it one by one on their table.

"Sit down first Andrea." Alexa invited me.

"I don't have time for this. I can't rest. There's too many customers." I replied.

"There's a lot of waiters and waitress here. Let them take care of it." Alistair said.

"There are staff but they can't take care of it alone because of the number of people coming in. They're just people and they get tired."

"It's their job, they get paid for what they do."

"It's not because you pay them, you can abuse them."

He laughed at what I said. What's so funny?

Yeah, I forgot. He has a lot of money. He's rich.

"They still get paid. No matter what you asked them to do, they have to do it. Even if they get tired, they have no right to complain because they want that job."

I smiled at what he said.

I don't know if he thinks of their workers. I pity them because they have him as their boss.

"They don't have the right to complain, you're right, because they're just a staff. But they still have the right to rest when they're tired. Understand their situation as well. Adapt to their situation for you to understand why they're doing this. Try to put yourself in their shoes."

I turned my back on them and went back to my work. I didn't even think about the conversation Alistair and I had because I was just getting annoyed when I keep on thinking about it.

He doesn't care about others situation. He's rude. He's a jerk. No wonder that I don't like him since the beginning.
