I woke up to my alarm going off loudly on my night stand. I sighed, then slipped out of bed quickly. Goosebumps rose as I stretched and the cool air hit my exposed skin. I yawned and turned off the annoying alarm.
I headed towards the bathroom quickly, getting ready to take a shower before work. I slipped off my pjs and showered briskly.
After I got out of the shower I got some clothes on and made myself a quick breakfast, then headed out the door, locking it behind me. I hopped on my motor bike, started it, then was on my way to the café I worked at. Located just past the park.
My bike pulled up around back to the employee park, where I parked my bike and headed in. My Co-worker Mars greeted me with a smile as I grabbed my uniform and headed to the break room to put away my jacket and wallet. I pulled the apron over my head and positioned the hat carefully over my hair. I walked out behind the counter, waiting a bit for the shop to open. Mars flipped the open sign over so from the outside so it said open and not closed. She then made her way back to the counter and began preparing some things for when costumers came in. The cool thing about this coffee shop, is that we also sold cake and baked fresh goods.
It was pretty early morning, around 6:30. So it was no surprise that nobody was stopping by at this time.
A few people trickled in, getting something before work I suppose. I greeted the first man with a smile.
"Hello! Welcome to Hallowed Grounds café! How may I help you this morning?" I greeted.
"Ill have a bagel and a black coffee to go," the man said in a hurry. I wrote it down and handed the order to Mars, who got to work very quickly. She had that order done within a minute.
(Time skip because I can)
It was about 1:00 in the after noon, and business started to slow down a LOT. I was cleaning up the counter a bit, my sleeves rolled up above my elbows. The door ringed, and a small group of friends came in.
At the front, walked Thomas sanders. The guy from the weird app.
Valerie waded her way in front and walked up to the counter.
"Hey (y/n)! Nice to see you again!" she called nicely.
"Its cool to see you again too," I replied, "now what does everyone want?" I called to the group,
A few went to go sit at a table, while the others ordered. I handed all the orders back to Mars, who started working at the speed of light. Thomas was last to arrive to the counter to place his order.
"What can I get ya?" I asked, trying not to blush.
"Yeah, um, I'll just get a slice of the strawberry cake?" he asked,
"Yeah, hold on let me get that for you." I replied, pulling on a pair of gloves. I grabbed a spatula and a plate, then cut off a piece. I placed it on the plate and handed it to him, in exchange, he handed me the money for the slice.
"Thank you!" he exclaimed, walking to sit by his friends.
Mars got all the orders done, so she manned the counter while I was forced into walking over and handing a few of them their drinks. I was passing them around when Valerie started up a conversation,
"Hey (y/n), when do you have a break? We could hang." she asked. I checked my watch.
"In about 30 minutes actually," I said quietly.
"Then lets go to the park! You can meet everyone!" Thomas spoke up, I felt my face heat up.
"U-uh yeah, sure." I agreed, scratching the back of my neck. I then had to go back to the counter, since more costumers where trailing in.
I walked back over to the counter and I could feel my face burning like crazy. Mars smiled at me knowingly, then put her head down to focus on her artistry. I tended to the customers waiting in line, occasionally glancing over to the small group over in the corner. more specifically at Thomas. Sometimes I felt eyes watching me too, but I was way too busy with the current customers to see who it was exactly.
My watch beeped as my other coworker ace stepped in behind me, it was my break. I went back into the employees lounge and grabbed my jacket, which was super cool and leather, (f/n) had given it to me on my last birthday, and my wallet. I walked out to the front dining area to the large group.
"I'm on my break, meet you guys at the park," I informed them, then walked back to the employee park, where I hopped on my bike and started it. It roared to life and I pulled out of the parking lot, on my short ride to the park.
I arrived there and took out my phone, setting the motorcycle on its kickstand so I could lean against it to wait. I opened vine and was messing around with it when I heard voices approach the park, followed by laughter. I looked up to see the group aproching, so I tucked my phone in my jacket.
"Hello again (y/n)," Valerie called as they aproched. "This is Joan, Talyn, Terence, Dominic, and Thomas." she introduced.
I gave a small wave as greeting.
"Nice to meet y-you guys." I said quietly, stumbling over my words. I was never the best at meeting people, especially my age group. Just then I heard a squeal, and fast foot steps.
Soon a person ran into view and walked up to Thomas,
"OH MY GOD YOU'RE THOMAS SANDERS." they screamed. They held out their phone case and a sharpie pen, and Thomas signed it. Then they turned around at looked at me, and I saw it was (f/n). They looked from Thomas to me, then back to Thomas.
"Gives-o-lot, what are you doing? Next to Thomas sanders? And his friends?" they asked surprised.
"Uhhhh, I-I'm hanging out? With them?" I replied, put on the spot.
(F/n) looked shocked. I laughed nervously and rubbed the back of my neck.
"Well I'll see you later I guess." they said, and like that they left.
(Long awaited second chapter is here! Yay! Anywho bye)
