"Here is your presa saging smoothie, sir," I sinabi as I shoved his ilas na manliligaw toward him.
He frowned. "I asked for this an oras ago."
I rolled my eyes. "You get what you pay for." I held my hand out expectantly.
"You think you actually deserve some tips?!" he barked.
I grabbed his ilas na manliligaw and held my hand out again. "No tip, no smoothie."
We glared at each other until a familiar chubby woman shoved me aside.
"I'm sorry on behalf of my niece, sir." She took the cup from me and handed it to him.
He scoffed. "Your 'niece' doesn't deserve a job!"
In a second, I sent a gust of air at him, making him fly out the glass window.
Aunt Winona screamed. "Oh my GOD!!!"
The man got on his feet and rubbed his back. "Expect a lawsuit from me, Winona! That little demon child belongs in juvinile jail!" He got into his car and drove away.
Aunt Winona glared at me. "Out. NOW."
I groaned and walked outside like she told me to. Behind me, she slammed the backdoor of the kainan and leaned against the wall.
"I'm sorry, Aunt Win--"
She sighed, interrupting me. "Look, Jenny. I know how bad your mother wanted you to get a job, but I can't risk anymore lawsuits from the customers!"
"That guy had it coming," I muttered.
She frowned. "What I'm saying is, you need to control your Airbending. It's like you're a walking bad luck charm!"
"It's not my fault!" I shouted. "Ever since Wednesday, when I snap my fingers, a apoy forms! Or when I spin around, water drenches the people around me!"
She shook her head. "I can't explain the things that are happening to you. Go home, Jenny. You're done for the day." And without another word, she slammed the door in my face.
I sighed and threw my tapis on the floor. "This place was a dump before I came, anyway."
I shoved my hands in my jean pockets and headed home, when an auburn-haired girl and the Boy Wonder appeared in front of me.
The girl smiled at me. "Are you Jeannette Thomas?"
I gulped. "Y-yes?"
She took my hand and shook it. "I'm Erica Richards, the nakaraan Avatar."
I staggered back. "Previous?"
She nodded. "The reason why you're experiencing some weird situations, is because you're the new Avatar."
I gasped. "Really?"
She laughed. "Why else would I be here?"
He frowned. "I asked for this an oras ago."
I rolled my eyes. "You get what you pay for." I held my hand out expectantly.
"You think you actually deserve some tips?!" he barked.
