I suppose the first thing you need to know about me is that I’m the villain
of this story. The bad guy. Girl. Whatever.
The second thing you need to know is that I absolutely did not pour that
drink on the guy by the bar on purpose, like he’s trying to say I did. He must
have just knocked me off-balance while he was trying to grope my ass, is all.
At least, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
(The third thing is that one of those first two things isn’t strictly true. I’ll
leave you to work out which one it is…)
“Lexie, we’ve been through this before. We can’t assault the customers.
Not even the ones who richly deserve it. You know that.”
Summer puts both hands on her hips and gives me what I’ve come to
think of simply as The Look. It’s approximately one part exasperation and
one part resignation, and it normally means she’s about to push her hair back
from her forehead, and say, “Oh, Leeexiiieee,” like she’s my mum about to
tell me she’s not angry, she’s just disappointed.
Summer is my boss here at Joe’s Bar, but she’s also my flatmate (Or
“roommate” as they say here in California. Those crazy kids.), and my best
friend. Well, my only friend, really, unless you count my mum, and I’m not
even sure my mum would count my mum right now — especially considering
I haven’t spoken to her in almost 12 months — so… yeah. I guess I’m not
much of a people person. What can I say?
Anyway, Summer’s Australian, and when I asked her if her name was
supposed to be a reflection of her sunny personality, she pretended to punch
me in the thigh.
I took that as a “no”, then. It turns out Summer’s not much of a people
person either, really. I’m pretty sure that’s why we get on so well.
“I swear, Summer, I didn’t do it. I would never.”
I widen my eyes innocently as I look her right in the eye, the very picture
of sincerity.
This will work. I see it will, because I’m a practiced liar, having been
honing my skills since I was a kid. Also, no one can resist my baby blues
when I threaten to turn on the tears, like I am now. I might be the villain, but
I look like the heroine, all blonde hair and blue eyes, set above a cute little
upturned nose. And that’s the main thing, isn’t it? When you’re pretty, you
can get away with anything.
Well, almost anything.
Just to be sure I get away with this, I allow my bottom lip to wobble
slightly as I lower my eyes to the ground. When I raise them again to meet
Summer’s, they’re filled with tears — crying on demand has been my party
trick, ever since I was a kid — and my boss sighs in defeat, before shrugging
her shoulders and handing me a tray of drinks.
