Describe yourself in the third person as if you were the character in a book

The clock marked six o' clock, there were about 50 minutes left before closing time and then he would come back home. Federico looked around, the club was half-empty and really quiet and only the background music could be heard.
The voice of Samuele called him: << Fede, can you make a drink for this girl? I'm a little busy with these two customers >>. A girl with Oriental features sat on the stool in front of him and placed her black bag on the counter. She seemed to have a bad day so he tried to look as polite as possible and smiled brightly.
<< What would you like to drink? >> he said.
She hesitated a moment and looked around. She said unsure: <<Any kind of prosecco will do >>. Federico nodded and started to pour the prosecco, the one most chosen by the customers. The girl sighed and took her hands to the nape. She looked really young and tired.
<<She'll be 18 or 19 years old >> Federico thought. The girl began to torment her hands. He did so when he felt nervous.
<<Bad day?>> Federico asked. She looked up and tried to glare him but she burst into laughter. She looked different when she laughed. A moment before she looked as if she was going to punch him and now she acted like she was his lifelong friend. Really a strange person.
<< Pardon me. It's that my parents are the most boring people in this world and my sister is more obedient that a dog. I can't do anything when I'm with them.>>
Federico laughed because she reminded him of when he was a teenager. He gave her the drink and waited for her to drink it. He was sure she had never drunk, it was her first time for sure. The girl drank up and immediately coughed.
<<Hey...Take it easy, young lady!>>
She was a curious and terribly funny character. He enjoyed looking at her. She had thin lips that were chopped and small, almond-shaped, eyes. Her hair was black and straight, her face was round. Her eyes, he noticed, were reddened as if she had cried. Really a curious character.
<<Anyway,...I'm Jessica>> she smiled.
<<Nice to meet you. I'm Federico.>>
