[@The ghost in black]

Lunch hour was usually chaotic but Autumn didn’t think she had ever seen it this crazy. Did the whole city deicide to come to The Silver Dragon for lunch? It sure looked that way. 

[color=violet]”Here you are sir.”[/color] Autumn said as she set a hamburger and a glass of coke in front of a man dressed in a suit with a Bluetooth piece in his ear. The man took one look at the food in front of him then glared at Autumn. 

[color=lightblue]”What kind of fool do you take me for? I didn’t order this garbage! I asked for a water and a salad, are you [i]trying[/i] to make me fat?!”[/color] Autumn blinked in surprise because she distinctly remembered this man ordering no such thing. Autumn then apologized and said she would take it back. Clearly it was not what the man wanted and so he then began to rant at her. The girl’s facial expression fell into a neutral visage, turning into an emotionless mask as the man continued to explain in great detail how Autumn was such a stupid and incompetent child. The man didn’t seem to like the fact that he wasn’t getting a raise out of her and so he stood, face very red. He then snatched up his glass of coke and upended it over Autumn’s head. 

Her mask slipped, revealing a stunned expression as the man shoved past her and stalked towards the door. Autumn stood there, soda plastering her hair to her head and dripping down her face. She slowly turned, aquamarine eyes tracking the man as he headed for the door. Rage, swift and hot, surged through her body and his fists clenched. She then jumped slightly upon feeling a hand on her shoulder. She glanced up into Sarah’s sympathetic eyes. 

[color=lightblue]”You okay? That was rough. I have a spare uniform in my locker if you want to borrow it. You can just give it back to me tomorrow.”[/color]

Autumn nodded in agreement and followed along as Sarah led her to the back. Sarah lent her a pack of wipes and so with that and the uniform in hand Autumn locked herself in the bathroom to get cleaned up. Thankfully the coke missed her pants but her shirt was absolutely sopped. She threw it off and it hit the linoleum with a wet slap. She turned on the facet and ducked her head under it, running her fingers through it. She pumped some hand soap into her hand and lathered it through her hair. She knew it wouldn’t work as well as shampoo but hopefully it would help rid her hair of the stickiness the soda caused.

After rinsing her hair out thoroughly, she then got down to business of ridding her skin of the rest of the soda. After going through most of the wipes she finally was soda free. She shrugged on Sarah’s uniform shirt and fingered the ends of her hair. Drying it was out of the option unless she felt like trying to use paper towels. Deciding it could just air dry she squeezed as much water out of it that she could then shoved her soda soaked shirt into a plastic bag that was used for food deliveries, Autumn exited the bathroom and stowed the bag in her locker to take home later. She took a deep breath and entered the main room again. She shot Sarah a grateful smile, turning to survey the room. She heard a voice speak up from next to her and she turned to face Eris. She gave her a smile. [color=violet]”Jack? He should be in his office doing paperwork.”[/color]
