— it was early afternoon, you were working your usual shift as a barista at the ‘pennyroyal cafe’ that was just in front of your college. luckily you took college classes only in the morning. as you leaned against the counter, you immediately noticed a group of three people your age enter. they walked up the counter, an auburn haired girl standing in the middle, she seemed to blush at your sight.

“good afternoon…” ellie mumbled, a little too quiet, as her friends dina and jesse greeted you.
