Chapter Two

The next couple of days went pretty regularly for Danielle-Rachelle. She hung out with friends, went to work, the usual busy summer stuff. "Danni-Rae," said Channing. Practically everyone called her that. It was Thursday. Almost a week since she had seen Zac. She had tried not to think too much about him. She liked him...a lot. But she didn't want to get her hopes up on something that might never happen. Danni-Rae woke up.
It was six forty-two in the morning. Her parents had surely already left to work. AJ was still, most-likely asleep. Danni-Rae sat up.
"What, baby?" she asked sleepily. He climbed onto her bed.
"Let's watch T.B.," said Channing. He couldn't quite pronounce a "v". Danni-Rae groaned. She stood up, slipped into her slippers, picked Channing up, and walked downstairs. She put her brother down. She turned the T.V. on and put it on cartoons and walked to the kitchen. The table and counter were a mess. Dishes were stacked by the sink. The stove was dirty. "Uh! Having parents who're workaholics sucks!" she thought to herself. "I guess it's time to clean." She cleaned the house. By the time she was done, she had to wake AJ up so she could get ready for work.

"AJ, wake up!" Danielle said hitting him hard on his back. He grunted.
"I AM up," he said.
"Alright. You better have breakfast on the table before I get downstairs," said Dannie-Rae. She nudged him and was off to her room. She grabbed her clothes for the day. It took her thirty minutes to shower. When she was done, she got dressed, brushed her teeth, her hair, washed her face, put lotion on, a very small amount of make-up, and she grabbed her shoes and socks and headed downstairs.
When she got downstairs, Channing was running back and forth in the living room. She sighed and walked to the kitchen. AJ stood at the stove scrambling eggs. "Hey," Danni-Rae said. She sat down at the table. She pulled on her socks and shoes.
"Hey," said AJ. He turned to face her. "You want it for here or to go?"
"Here's fine. I don't really care about going to work today," said Danielle.
"Don't go," said AJ. He put a plate of eggs, sausage, and beans in front of her. He sat down across from her.
"Oh, yeah because I have all the money that I'll need for school," said Danni-Rae, sarcastically. AJ said nothing. Danni-Rae stood up, walked over to their pantry, took out a bag of tortillas, walked over to the stove, turned it on low, and put two tortillas on the burner.
"I would have done that, you know?" said AJ.
"It's okay," Danni-Rae replied. "So how goes college life?"
"Well, I have a paper due today and I have to read three chapters of this really boring book," said AJ. He was minoring in engineering at a local community college. She turned the tortillas over.
"I'll be back by two," said Danielle.
"Mom's going to be here early today," said AJ.
"Oh. Then I might meet up with Mary or something. Don't wait up for me," said Danni-Rae. Danielle-Rachelle turned off the stove, grabbed her tortillas, and sat down at the table. She began to eat.
"Alright," said AJ.
"When she finished eating, she kissed Channing good bye and got into her 1998 Honda. She drove to work. When she got to the coffee shop she worked at, she put on her apron and walked in through the back. She said hi to her manager, Dan and some colleagues, then walked into the cleaning closet, grabbed a towel, filled a bucket up with soapy water and began to bus tables.
Danielle-Rachelle's first break was at eleven forty-five. She sat down at a table. It wasn't too crowded now that the morning rush was over. She was facing the opposite direction of the door. Danielle was playing with the wrapper of a straw. Danni-Rae watched as customers went to the counter and ordered. Then, she saw him. Zac stood at the counter and ordered. She watched him. When he turned around, Danni-Rae stood up and tried to hide her face. She didn't even know why. She didn't know why she didn't want him to see her, but she didn't. Or maybe, she did. She tried walking back behind the counter undetected, but it was no use. He had seen her.
"Hey, uh, you're Danielle-Rachelle, right?" asked Zac. Danielle turned and faced him. He was wearing red track pants, a white wifebeater, and a red track jacket.
"Oh, umm, yeah," she said. Her shoulders rose up a little, she made back and forth motions with her heel in the air, and she looked up at him from under her eyebrows. There was an awkward silence.
"So, you work here?" asked Zac. She nodded, then jammed her hands into her pockets. She shrugged.
"Yeah," Danni-Rae said. "Sadly." He smiled.
"So, how 'bout that cup of coffee?" he asked.
"Oh, umm, sorry. My break's over. I gotta get back to work," she said.
"Oh, okay. cool. I guess I'll uh...see you around," Zac said.
"Yeah. I really am sorry," said Danni-Rae. He nodded, then they went their separate ways. "Uh! I just screwed up so bad!" she thought to herself.
