Part One
Lizzie sat down at the table by herself. She felt that she deserved some time alone before having to deal with her friends. Miranda and Gordo had a way of finding out every little detail of her life, which was getting to be annoying lately. Something was definitely bothering her, but it was nothing that she would be willing to discuss with her friends or family at the moment.
The waitress came walking towards the table. Lizzie felt her mood lighten up a little. "Hey Joan. Still surviving here?" She questioned with a smile.
"Barely, but I promise you that if Lindsey jumps down my throat one more time..." She left the sentence hanging there for emphasis. "So how's things with you?" She pretended to be cleaning the table so she wouldn't get in trouble.
Lizzie sighed. "You don't want to know."
"Sure I do." Lizzie looked up at the girl admiring her features. She had brown hair that stopped at her shoulders. Her eyes were bright blue and she was wearing, underneath the large blue apron, a long sleeve white shirt and a pair of loose fitting jeans.
Lizzie thought about it for a moment, "Well I've been attracted to someone that I don't think I should be."
"Uh huh, why shouldn't you be?"
Lizzie opened her mouth to speak when she caught sight of Miranda and Gordo. Quickly she closed her mouth and waved to her friends. Joan knew Lizzie well enough by now to know that when her friends were there, she wasn't going to revel any life changing news.
"So what can I get you all?" Joan asked the trio once they got their seats.
"Three smoothies." Lizzie gave a smile as Joan walked off.
Miranda was quiet for a moment. "Are you going to tell us what's going on with you yet?"
She shook her head, she couldn't handle this right now. If her friends knew what was really bothering her they might ditch her. And she couldn't handle losing her two best friends.
"I think that it would help if you did." Gordo added.
"Maybe, but I'm not ready."
Joan came back with the drinks and sat them down. She smiled at Lizzie before walking off. Kate and Claire had been in the room long before Lizzie had decided to show up. And just as Kate had made Lizzie work like a dog, she was making Joan do the same. She threw her glass of lemonade on the floor, pushing Joan over the line.
"Okay that's it." The girl said calmly. She threw a dish towel over at Kate. "You can clean that up."
"Uh, I don't work here, you do. That's your job, so get to it." Kate threw the towel back like it had a disease.
"I have been cleaning up after your sorry...self for the past week." She had to edit herself, this was a family place. "And frankly I'm tired of it."
"Joan!" Lindsey came running to her side. "Your job is not to make them clean up, you clean up. Now apologize and clean up this mess right now."
"No!" She crossed her arms. "Monday she threw a plate of food on the floor that I slipped on and twisted my knee which is already messed up. Tuesday she kept 'accidentally' spilling her milkshake. Wednesday she and her minions decided to stick their gum in the bottom of all the glasses so I would have to scrape it out. And Thursday she had the audacity to tell me how to do my job. So if you want to fire me, then do it. But I'm the only person that keeps coming back for this god forsaken job because I need the money!" Joan threw down her towel and walked off leaving Lindsey there in shock.
"Look, stop harassing my workers." Lindsey said to the girls. "Or I'll have to ban you from the Digital Bean."
"Oh, go girl." Miranda said to herself about Joan biting into Lindsey. When Lizzie done that she got fired.
Joan came out from the back room where she left sporting a very distressed look.
"Joan, come here." Lizzie called out to her. The girl came walking towards the table. "Sit down, you deserve a break." Joan sat down to the right of Lizzie, looking at the other two people that she didn't know.
"Thanks. I swear I didn't mean to lose my temper like that but I get so tired of Kate thinking that she owns the world. Someone needs to take her off that high horse that she rides on and put her back down on the ground."
"I know how you feel." Miranda said.
"Joan, these are my friends Miranda and Gordo. Guys, this is Joan."
"So Lizzie, there's going to be this big party at my brother's house next Saturday and I was hoping that maybe you and your friends would like to come along." Joan laid her arms on the table looking to Lizzie for her answer.
"Wait a minute, don't you go to Jefferson?" Gordo questioned. Jefferson was the local high school. He knew that Joan looked older than them but he wasn't sure.
"Yeah. So what? You guys afraid of going to a high school party?" Her voice was a little taunting.
"I'll be there." Lizzie said with confidence.
"Great, we'll meet here and a friend will drive us to the party. Here's my number in case you need to call me." Joan scribbled down her number on a napkin and handed it to Lizzie. She then stood up. "Bye Lizzie."
"We are not going to go to a high school party." Miranda said. "You know that our parents aren't going to lets us go. What were you thinking?"
"I was thinking that I'm going to a high school party. I've got homework that I have to do." Lizzie stood up and left her friends sitting there.
"There's something wrong with her that she's not telling us about." Miranda was worried about her friend.
"Yeah, and something's up with that Joan chick too." Gordo added, just as equally worried about Lizzie.
On her way home, Lizzie was thinking about Joan. This girl was nice to Lizzie when she didn't have to be. Joan went to high school and she didn't mind being seen with middle school kids. There was something about Joan that made Lizzie want to get to know her a little better. She had a great personality and was funny. Definitely the type of girl that you wanted to bring home to mother.
But that was Lizzie's problem, she wanted to bring Joan home. And keep her. She thought to herself. That was the thing that Lizzie couldn't tell her friends, or family. She was developing a crush on the most unlikely suspect, Joan.
