Chapter 02

Welcome Back! I just want to say I do not know the japan school system so I apologize in advance! I am going of off American system, and I am Canadian so I just am also learning that. I also went to a school that had pre-k to grade 12 all in one school so, there is a lot of creative liberty taking place here ♥ thank you for reading! If you like it, don't hesitate to add it to your library / vote ♥ would mean the world!

Chapter 02

Started my job a few weeks ago! It has been honestly just a perfect cute little job! I work the morning Monday-Friday! The cafe owner is super nice and told me that I was still young and she wanted my weekends free for me to do whatever I wanted. I wish I had something to do on the weekends. She works the weekends with her husband coming in to spend with her as he only gets weekends off. 

I just want that, you know, I want to find what they have. She is the kindest person who happen to find someone that was just as kind as her. 

Being here in this environment makes everything that happened seem so small. Like when I go to university no one will actually care? Like Drew at the moment continues to pretend that nothing happened and just treats me as he always had. His best friend's little sister and nothing more. 

I think going back to school will be almost easy. I am glad. 

Again I can't let my guard down. This is high school after all. I will probably be known as Blake's younger sister who has a crush on his best friend. I am not a fan of that. But I do wish that my heart would stop attacking my throat as I even think about going home and the possibility of seeing Drew is there. I need to get over this.

Walking to my work in the wee hours of the morning has always been sort of a relief to me. The air was crisp sometimes and those were the best mornings. Feeling a slight wind before starting my shift. It was nice. And watching the morning turn from dawn to day was amazing. 

Our cafe was pretty big and it had lots of seating area. We were a good place for students and unfortunately, I did see a few of my classmates. They would only snicker or just ignore me. I don't think anyone really paid attention to me at school except maybe to ask about my brother. 

It's ok, it feels like I am steadily preparing myself for my last school year. I want to be invisible, like a book blending in a library. I just want to sit on my shelf and not make a noise. Blending in with the thousands of other books. 

"Hello?" I snapped out of my daze as I made eye contact with the lightest brown eyes I have seen. 

"Sorry I was thinking about books, what can I get for you today?" I asked automatically as I woke up the cash system and prepare to take his order. He let out a laugh before responding. 

"Just a medium americano for here, black please," I nodded before charging him for it.

"What book were you thinking about?" I can't say myself on a shelf now.

"Unfortunately my workbooks that are waiting for me at home," he laughed more now, his eyes closing as he did so. 

"I came here to do my worksheets, I have been neglecting them a bit if I am being honest," I nodded sheepishly. 

"You are still starting them early, it's barely halfway through the summer," he nodded. 

"Figured I'd start since I am attending a new school," I nodded.

"Medium Americano! For here, black!" I heard my coworker call out. 

"Nice chatting with you!" he said and I said likewise and he was then gone to find a table.

Little moments like that make me love this job. Maybe the owner had the right idea, as long as you are happy any job can be the best one for you. 

It makes me more relieved to think about that as this year the teachers are really going to be cracking down on us for our choice of careers.
