JANUARY 5TH, 7:43 AM
vance was on his way to the metro bus stop to get to school, but focusing more on whatever was on his phone.
"vance! hey! wait up!" a faraway voice said coming from behind him.
vance turned around and saw a bruce, with messy bed head, running out of a cafe and holding a drink.
"do you live in that cafe over there?" vance asked with a bit of a confused expression.
"ah! no, haha. my parents own that cafe and gave me a hot chocolate to drink because i didn't have enough time to eat breakfast," bruce explains with an awkward smile.
"okay. cool." vance turned around and continued walking.
bruce tapped on the taller shoulder, "um, if you don't mind, we could go and study in the cafe? if it's fine with you, of course."
vance shrugged and earned a bright smile in return.
"cool! also, can i walk to the bus stop with you to school? after i heard about a kidnapper around our area, my parents want me to stick with someone." bruce asked while rubbing the back of his neck.
"i don't care," vance shrugged.
"okay!" bruce started keeping up with vance's speed of walking and sipped on his hot cocoa, enjoying the warmth and taste of it and the cool breeze running through the two boy's hair.
the two walked into the school, side by side. vance listened to bruce talking about his interests. baseball, baking, cats, whatever.
"hey, we're in front of my homeroom now. i'll meet you outside of the library then we'll head to the cafe. sound good?" bruce reassured.
vance nodded and then gave a half-wave to bruce as a form of 'see you later.'
JANUARY 5TH, 3:50 PM
bruce immediately packed his things and walked out of the door once the bell rang. he had to hurry because his final period is really far away from the library.
there, he saw vance standing in front of the library entrance on his phone.
"vance!"
vance looked up from his screen to see a bruce, slightly panting, not too far from him.
"should we head out now?" bruce asks.

"hi, mom. this is my friend, vance. i'm gonna a tutor him here in the cafe, is that alright?" bruce asks his mom, who was currently at the register.
"i don't see a problem with that, as long as you're finishing your homework," bruce's mom responded.
bruce nodded and took vance upstairs into a small room with a tiny table, plants in front of the window, traditional japanese paintings, and a small little couch.
"let's start. my mom will most likely bring some lattes or something upstairs soon," bruce grinned.
