I wake up from the dream, and unfortunately. I'm still tired. I pick up my phone and look at the time. 4:30 am. 'I still have some time to get ready for work.' I get up, grab my uniform, and hop in the shower.
I quietly shut the door behind me and headed towards work.
I work at a boba shop named 'Teddy Bear Cafe' and if that states in my contract that I'm required to walk around with cub ears on my head. Then yes, this job is not paying enough. But the job is close, and I have some friends that work there, plus the manager is super chill. This means that we can come and go as we please, but we stay so that we get paid.
I arrive at work, and everything is quiet, till the silence is broken by the most annoying person who comes to greet me. Omoshy Poiple.
"Hey Hikaru, you weren't at school yesterday I was getting worried that you moved or something- wait! You did move. I completely forgot, my bad." and signs.
"It most of slipped my mind, come on we need to get the place all nice and presentable before opening." He then urges me to come to the counter with him so that we can get the place open. (We were always the first ones here in the morning) I start to clean up the tables and Omy gets all of the machines on and tests if they all still work. After we did that, we could pretty much chill till the other staff got here but all I could do was listen to Omy rant about how much he's going to miss me at school.
"Man, you're not going to be in my classes anymore, and we're not going to have lunch together and gossip about all the popular people stuff. Oh, hey Makio. What's up! You got here pretty early today." Makio was an older girl who worked with us and was always trying to avoid conversation, she was the goth girl on the staff but not full goth just personality-wise.
"Yeah, I had to get away from the Hag again. Nothing new, got everything done here?"
"Yep, we sure did, right Hikaru?" Omy then grabbed me by the arm and hugged it tightly.
"Yeah...we...did everything" I tried not to smack Omy on the head, but Makio ended up doing it for me.
"Omy stop touching Hikaru all the time, Personal Space. Ever heard of It? Well, anyway Honima will be here soon behave. You know what will happen if he finds out that this is a regular thing between you two."
What's a regular thing?" We all freeze and turn around slowly to see the tiny devil staring at us.
"N-N-Nothing Honima, nothing at all." Honima was the shortest and the scariest person on the staff. He may look all cute but once you get to know him, he's scary. And yes, I said he. Honima got his name from his father whose name is also Homina. It's a family tradition. I guess.
"Whatever you were talking about I don't want to hear, we open in 5 and I don't want you all messing anything up today. I heard a blogger is coming to check us out and I wish for everything to go as smoothly as possible, understood?" we all nod.
"Verbal answers are also good."
"Yes," and we get to our stations. I work as a drink maker. Omy works at the counter, and Makio works on pastries and desserts/food in general. And Honima works as a waiter. He goes around the tables and makes sure that everything is going smoothly. Our shop is a cafe, but it's run a little differently, you order at the front counter and then you find a seat and you are served your food, and you can stay there for a max 1 hour. And there's a second counter where I put drinks and food out for pick-up orders. We get a lot of those.
"Lunch break!" Honima turns the open sign off and flips a sign on the front that says lunch break. So that people know to come back later.
"Ugh, today's been busy ever since that blogger came in earlier this morning. The manager was all over her, Ugh he's such a pick-me boy sometimes. He's what 29 or something right?" Makio signed, then laughed a little.
"Omy?" Honima looked at him and put his arm on his shoulder.
"Y-Yes Honima? Did I do something wrong again?" Honima shook his head.
"No, but you had to ask the blogger for her number. Really?" Omoshy smirked.
"Of course, how else am I going to get Hikaru jealous?" I smacked his head and laughed.
"As if I would ever be jealous of you. Piople." He smirks at Honima and leans back in his chair.
"Yep, she's jealous" then falls out of his chair onto the ground.
"Ow!"
I need to get another job.183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3D6czKx1x
