-sasuke-
It's warm here.
The smell of coffee is soft and comforting, mingling easily with the whispered scents of bacon frying on the stove.
Sakura smiles at me as I enter, wiping carefully manicured pink nails on her skirt.
I remember her from the interview.
"Hey Sasuke. So, it's your first day then"
Her eyes twinkle.
They're green, pretty, two polished emeralds rimmed thick with mascara.
"Welcome aboard. I'll introduce everyone else to you now that you'll be working with the lot"
I absently note how white her teeth are.
"I'm sure you'll like them. Well, most of them"
I nod, the whisper of a frown at my lips, but follow her past the groups of neat tables to the back.
Sakura clears her throat, leaning onto the smooth counter-top with a quick tapping of her nails.
There's a blonde girl there, thin, sharp-eyed and pale.
She reminds me of a cat.
"Ino. This is Sasuke. He's the new waiter"
She turns quickly from the dish she was inspecting, blue eyes bright with curiosity.
A moment of registration passes and, slowly, a smile forms at her lips.
"Hey, Sasuke. I'm Ino. I'm glad you're gonna help out here with us. We've seriously been lacking male employees lately"
She laughs then, high and girlish, and I pull what I hope is a pleasant expression to my features.
"Especially since a certain one of them has to-"
Sakura shushes her quickly, a smile tugging insistently at the side of her lips.
"Hey, now that's not fair. He'll have to find out on his own"
The blonde just smiles, nodding.
I wonder vaugely what they could be talking about.
They aren't really making sense, but then, what do I know?
I've only just met them.
"Alright, well, that's Tenten over there"
She turns me away from the Ino girl, pointing a ringed finger to a dark-haired girl laughing with a customer.
"And Hinata is over there"
She points again.
She's sitting behind the counter, writing something down carefully on a pad of paper.
Her eyes are pale, hair short and neat.
She looks delicate.
Sakura laughs then.
"Well, I'll let you meet them in person later. There's also Kiba and Shikamaru in the back cooking. But they're kind of busy right now. I guess I'll show you to the last employee here today"
I don't understand why she's smiling so strangely.
It's a little disconcerting.
"She's over taking an order right now. We'll see if we can catch her 'round the bend"
I nod, wondering why her smile grows when she says 'her'
She looks behinds me, waving a slender hand lightly in the air.
"Oi, Naru-chan, come and meet our new waiter"
Her smile is wide, green eyes glinting teasingly.
I turn, pausing as I see her.
She's walking quickly towards us, irritated frown at her full lips, blonde hair falling freely over those striking eyes.
They're blue, strange and beautiful, rimmed thin with a dash of mascara.
Her uniform is the same style as the others, short orange skirt that rides easily up the middle of that sun-kissed thigh, a small girlish tie tied loose around her collar.
An orange ribbon is tied easily in amongst those silken gold locks, laced white cuffs linked pretty at her wrists.
She glares at Sakura, that irritated gaze soon sweeping over to me.
I stare carefully into those catty blue eyes, watching quietly.
"Sakura, this was not-"
"Sasuke, this is Naru-chan"
The pink-haired girl laughs lightly, gesturing easily towards the blonde.
She narrows her eyes, arms crossed evenly over her chest.
I blink.
Her chest is strangely large.
"Naru-chan, Sasuke"
She stares.
"We don't need another server"
Sakura makes a face.
"Don't be silly. You know as well as I do that we need another waiter"
"We do not"
A sigh breezes from my lips and I look away, gaze wandering aimlessly over the large cafe.
I wonder why she's so pissed off.
Kind of a bitch, isn't she?
A pretty bitch, but a bitch all the same.
She scoffs.
"Oh, so Mr. Toocooltosayanything here is bored already. Like he wants to even be here"
"Narut- Naru-chan, you need to hold your tongue right about now"
She smirks.
"I think you're the one who needs to watch your words"
Sakura's glaring.
"Shut up. Suck it up and be a woman, Naru-chan"
She pauses, looking disoriented, before making a face.
"Right. A woman. Thanks, Sakura"
