Jam Maker Witch, Mary

Chapter 17. Present

The sun rised and Nancy and Rylan went back home. Both of them were still a bit groggy from the drinks they had last night. So i asked Iden to lend me one of his 'puppet dolls' to give them a ride back home.

After they're gone. I can now start with cleaning the place. I won't be opening the shop today since today is a special day at the cafe. The manager told the staff just now through a message that we'll be having a staff party at the end of the month for reaching the yearly sales in just 9 months!

I do hope the amount of pay will be heightened this month!

I start to hum a random tune in my head while wondering, what should i buy with my pay this month hm?

Perhaps i'll visit Hannah and ask for a bouquet. And maybe buy a new makeup pallete! Oh! Even better! That tinted moisturizer that i've been saving up for!

Just thinking about it makes me excited!

Oho ho ho~

'...'

'🎶.. 🎵'

'. . .'

Ehehe, oops i almost forgot to start making break-fAAAH!!

'A..uh..'

'Oh, Haha! D-Don! It's just you!'

I felt an extreme sense of deja vu just now.

'..sorry.'

'Oh no no it's fine. I'm sorry for not noticing you earlier..' i let out a small laugh.

Oh how many times did he surprise me by just standing there. Ahahaha!

'Good morning.' I greeted

'Good.. morning.'

'So, what do you want for breakfast today?
.

After we had finished our meals, the both of us got ready to go out as usual.

But while we were at the front door together, i can't help but notice that Don has been acting very awkward. He's also been putting a distance between the two of us. D-did i do something wrong?

Before i could ask, he already said goodbye and left.. h-huh..

. . .

Could it be.. HE HATES ME NOW?! WHY?

(Author: Don had planned on giving his 'gift' to Mary, but had failed to do so. And instead, he brought it with him to school.)
.
.
'Mary? Mary!'

'Huh? Oh yes?'

'Sheesh, you okay? You've been putting your head down quietly since morning, girl. Something happened?' Nancy asked me 'Did a guy bother you again?'

'Eh? Did i look abit down?'

'Yeah, you LOOKed down and LOOk down, that's for sure. You didn't notice?'

'Uh, i guess i got a little caught up in my thoughts, ehehe.'

Nancy let out a sigh and pulled her seat closer to me. 'Okay now, what happened.'

'Hmm.. i'm not sure. But i think i can deal with it myself. Until then, cheers?'

'Hmm~ okay then,' Nancy brought her glass up to mine 'Cheers.'

. . .

Aah.. i wonder if i did something wrong. Is he mad at me?

'...hmm~'

'What?'

'Nothing~'

'Oh! I have to go to the bathroom, you guys enjoy yourselves yeah?' The manager said
