The Evil Hair!!!! - Part 1
Alex was a young handsome boy. He was 15 years old when this incident happened. Alex was as usual getting ready to go to his school and then later to the restaurant he is working to make some extra money to pay for his college as his family isn't that well making with regards to money. Alex did not want to bother his parents and hence he took a job of a server in a restaurant near his house. His routine goes like waking up, making something for him to eat or just eat an apple or so and leave the house with his bag, then reaching the restaurant by 4 pm in the evening, work until 10 Pm in the night and coming back to home, spending some time to finish his homework and then sleep for sometime.. He absolutely hated his routine life but did not have any choice. He often looks at his friends in school who gets to enjoy life and spend some time for themselves going to cinemas, partying and hanging out at school for extra hours... None of that can be remotely possible with Alex's life condition.. Alex hated his life every single day..
In the midst of his busy life, one day at his restaurant, his manager called him and another server girl named Lexy and said "I know I'm informing late, but today we have special reservations as the city's officials are coming to our place and our 2 servers are already on a leave today..so, Stay back and serve them until they leave.. do not make any mistake or this would be your last day here" and the girl nodded as if yes but before Alex could say anything, the manager left. By 7 pm, the manager made sure a separate wing had been arranged for the guests and the guests arrived, including City's mayor, his family .. other authorities and their families.. Alex's worst nightmare came true when he saw his crush, a girl named Gina walk in among the members. Also came along with her, a boy named Sam, who bullies Alex often at school... Alex usually ignores him as he doesn't have time for anybody or anything except his one single motive to save for his college..
Alex quickly walked away from the large family so that he can avoid his crush noticing him working at a restaurant as a server boy and his bully Sam could humiliate him more. Even though he could lose his job, Alex wanted to take a risk and leave the restaurant. He almost made it out when he noticed he forgot his school bag inside the kitchen and he kicked the door as he had to walk back into the hotel.. "Maybe I can go before the manager notices..".. Alex stepped in and he sneaked into the kitchen hiding behind people while manager was having a conversation with the families that just walked in and showing them their places to sit. Alex went into the kitchen while the chefs are rigorously cooking for the guests and one of them said "just a few minutes Alex, the special course of meal would be ready, until then, you can take these drinks for the guests"
"I'm actually leaving..." Alex quickly picked his bag saying the words and all the chefs shouted in a union "What!! you are not"... Alex was running towards the door when he heard a big "Alex......". Alex immediately knew who was calling as he slowly turned around to see the manager staring at him. Alex could tell he is already furious with him by the he was intensely looking at him. "Alex?? Is that you Alexy boy???" Alex heard Sam saying these words and he felt the worst is about to start.. "Hello Sam.." Alex murmured as everybody was watching him and he did not want to be rude towards anybody especially in front of the manager.
"Do you know him??" the Mayor asked when Sam said "yes dad.. Alex and I are going to the same school and Alex is my buddy.. we enjoy each other's company at school, don't we Alexy??" .. and Sam winked at Alex with a disrespectful smirk on his face...ughhh Alex hated Sam while he was uttering these words as he most certainly know his situation at school tomorrow as Sam will make sure to make his life more miserable by telling everyone that Alex works as a server boy..
Alex wanted to avoid this situation at any cost, especially in front of his crush Gina, who by the way is sitting close to Sam and they were talking to each other, laughing at each other's jokes and she was looking Alex up and down as if she was judging him and his life.. Alex felt like dying inside.. He kept the drinks on the table and turned around to go back to pick the dishes when Sam called out loud "hey server boy... get me today's special would ya.." and giggled aloud, shortly followed the laughs from Gina. A couple of tears appeared in the eyes of Alex and he just couldn't take it anymore... Alex threw the glasses in kitchen sink and quickly picked his school bag and came out and told the manager "Sam is the boy tha bullies me at school.. I don't want to serve him"
The manager however held Alex tight and said "what happens between you and Sam at your school is none of my business. They are my guests today and I need that 5 star rating from these delegates for the growth of my restaurant and you are my employee.. you need to do exactly as I order you or else I will fire you.." .. Alex sternly looked at the manager and said "Not required, I'm leaving myself.." and as he was leaving, he heard Sam walking into that room as apparently, he was eavesdropping the conversation "Is that how you gonna save for your college my buddy boy..." Alex did not reply and walked away, as he was opening the door Sam shouted "If you don't serve me today, I will be posting about you in school chat group, if you do, maybe I will show some sympathy and won't tell everyone that you are a server" and he waved his phone in the air as if he recorded everything..
Alex really did not want the whole college speak about him for the next few days as he already suffers enough and accepted it. Sam and Gina together made Alex's night miserable while they ordered dishes and returning them back to kitchen for stupid reasons and then asking him to bring new dishes again. The manager noticed everything but did not do anything about it and the night finally came to an end when the Mayor paid the bill and they all left happily... Sam came near to Alex and he rubbed his wet hands onto Alex's uniform and he tapped on Alex's face and left.. Alex finished his work and left the restaurant by 12:05 am. He was so tired, physically and emotionally.
He was walking quickly towards his house when his phone beeped.. He thought of checking it after reaching the house when it beeped again. Alex did not care and stepped forward when it beeped again... The beeping did not stop and Alex thought, "who the heck is messaging me so much at this late? "as this never happened before. Alex's heartbeat stopped when he looked at the screen.
It was the school's group chat and Sam admitted almost all the students into the group and had posted Alex's pictures in server's uniform and also his video of him serving Sam and Gina and them rejecting Alex's service... Alex looked at the reactions, almost everyone were laughing about the situation, some calling Alex as loser and some saying they can't go to the restaurant to see Alex in uniform. Not a single positive comment...Alex cried aloud and threw the phone on to the pavement and sat on the middle of the street when he heard..
"I CAN HELP YOU ALEX......." He looked behind to see her standing non-nonchalantly staring at Alex with a blank expression.
That's all for today folks, hope you enjoyed the story...
