once upon a time

once upon a time, there was a girl who worked in a fast food restaurant. She was just an average looking girl with an average life (probably) and an underpaid job at a fast food restaurant (most definitely).

Along came a boy one day. He was feeling hungry so he decided to grab a bite someplace. So he chose the place the girl was working in. She was on the registers. At first the boy didn't really notice the girl. After all, she was just some average girl working in a very average place. Then when it was his turn to take orders, it was that same girl who was at the counter.

she was really polite, friendly as all service staff should be. Her voice was sweet, and she smiled a lot, and there was something about her. An aura, you could tell she was a happy person. maybe it was her smile, or maybe it was the way she seemed to be so energetic, yet elegant in the way she went about working even in closing hours. whatever it was, it sent the boy into a blank stare for a couple of seconds. After which he would steal glances at her while she was serving customers.

the boy though, she wasn't the prettiest of girls he's met yet there was something he just couldn't figure out. perhaps what the boy saw was a different kind of beauty, something more then skin deep, something magic... or perhaps the hunger and fatigue had gotten to the boy, and that his mind was playing tricks..
