Kenny's POV


Last period seemed long, I was stuck in that restroom for awhile. It was kinda awkward, Craig was still in the stall next to mine and we were both silent. But for the rest of our time there I was just on my phone. It was frustrating considering it was shitty and lagged like hell, it's on old phone, only one I've ever had since middle school. But it's my only one so I deal with it. It's upsetting that I can't listen to music on it as well, it's too laggy and glitches out.

I had a lit cigarette in my hand while scrolling through Instagram until the bell rang. My eyes widened from the echo's bell and I threw my cigarette in the toilet, flushing them down. I slid off the tank, grabbed my bag and headed out of the restroom. I didn't even bother to see if Craig also came out, it would've been funny if he fell asleep. He tends to do that a lot in history class.

I looked around the hallways, crowded around a bunch of people. I was looking for my friends, but couldn't see any of them. I usually walk home alone so it's best if I don't try and look for them again.


Once I got outside the school and onto the streets, I began to walk to my house. I looked at the ground, kicking rocks while I walked. I finally got to Tweek Bros. Coffee. I go there after school everyday, I actually work as a Janitor. I don't know how to make coffee and I don't think some people want their waiter to be a poor kid who hasn't really showered in a while... And now I should stop beating myself up and just walk inside.

I walked into Tweek Bros greeted by Mr. and Mrs. Tweak, who were both at separate sides of the counter. They greeted me with a smile, I returned it and headed towards the 'Employees Only' room.


Once I got in I let out a loud sigh and dropped my bag on the floor. I heard a yelp from in front of me. I glanced over and it was Tweek, his eyes were all wide as he stared into my direction. "Shit, my bad, Tweek. I didn't know you were here already." He blinked a few times before his face went back to his normal, stressed out expression as his eyes just glanced around the room.

He had a white apron on, which had a lot of coffee stains on the straps and top. His hair was in a messy low ponytail with a few clips holding back his bangs. He looked like a hot mess, nothing unusual. His eyes quickly went into shock and he turned around and rushed to the other side of the table he was near, grabbing a piece of white cloth and brought it to me, handing it over in my direction. "Y-Your apron!? Here!!" I quickly noticed what it was and took it from him. Unfolded it, and tying it around my waist. Tweek then, once again, went back to the table and picked up a full coffee cup and drank most of the coffee inside in just a few seconds. He either just really liked the coffee or he's just an addict. I'm not surprised if it's both, he's been on the stuff since elementary school, could've been before that too.

But, I didn't really pay attention to what he was doing, we barely talk when we're working here together anyways. I grabbed my bag from behind me and took it to the back, near some boxes and placed it down on top of them. I grabbed a broom and headed outside to the main area, starting to sweep the floor. There were barely any people there, considering it was the afternoon. This place is almost full on the weekends, I've seen it. I work almost every week, I should know.


Once every customer left, I still stayed to work extra, and for more payment. I do that every day. Once I swept up the floors and cleaned up the tables, checked for cup rings stained on the tables, trash on the floors or near the entryway, crumbs of food anywhere, I was done and was about to go home. I went back into the employees room and put my apron away, grabbed my bag, and headed out the door saying goodbye to the Tweaks.

I don't get my paycheck daily, I get it every Saturday. And since today is Thursday, I still have to wait a few more days. I don't work on Sundays or Mondays. Sunday is when me and my family have to go to church, and on Mondays I'm always exhausted from school and from the weekend. So getting paid on Saturday is reasonable.
