Tama ang hinala ni Harley, today was going to be smooth sailing— and it did.

***

During Mrs. Valentina Paxley's class, Pure mathematics, teachers were called upon an urgent meeting from the University administration. Leaving the teacher with no choice but to follow. She ended the subject with a partnered assessment due next week. However, she was running out of time. Thus, concludes the subject with the students' freedom to choose their own partners.

Then half of Harley's morning class schedule was vacant. Two subject teachers weren't available during their time. One of them left a 1000 word essay assignment due next meeting. Luckily for the students, the next meeting is not until next week, Friday.

Unfortunately, Harley's friends weren't available to join him in his leisure time as they were the ones pampered with so much pendings and subjects to attend to.

The sophomore sat on the usual spot him and his friends sat whenever they go to the cafeteria. The place was peaceful without the crowd of students, it's nice to be this early here.

Harley has nothing to do other than play on his phone to pass some time. He hasn't eaten anything despite it being lunch hour. He's the type who prefers eating with someone or even with a stranger rather than eating alone.

The thought of his interview nearing bugged him out of the blue. Naturally making him nervous.

He clenched his phone whilst eyes closed trying to stay calm. His growling stomach was a little help, distracting him from the thought yet torturing him from the pain. Both his hands soothing his upper and middle body. Subconsciously caressing his stomach as the other massages his forehead.

A crumpled sound of a paper bag was carefully placed on Harley's table.

He opens his eyes, surprise to see a paper bag, labeled— Rest house café, filled with homemade chocolate and custard milk bread, a freshly cooked Penne pesto with mushroom, and chicken pesto with mushroom sandwich. All this paired with Harley's favorite iced mocha-espresso. It even has an extra small iced matcha-latte.

A note was left stuck on the other side of the paper bag, Harley carefully unplucks the note. Unaware of the two pills stuck to it. Allowing it to fall freely on the table.

Despite noticing the pills, his attention drifted on the note.

"Eat. Skipping meals does not give your boss a good impression of you."

The sophomore looked around the cafeteria to see anyone he knew who might do such a wholesome act. Unfortunately for him, he was only gifted with a view of a deserted cafeteria.

He felt touched and embarrassed at the same time.

Contrary to his dislike of eating alone, he still did so as command according to the note.

He ate happily, his cheeks forming a round pinkish plump like a cute squirrel eating its meal.

Unbeknownst to Harley, someone was observing him from behind. A hinge of satisfaction displayed on the person's face upon witnessing the little squirrel eating the food they made.

As the hours of the day goes by, it urges more and more closer to the time of the interview. Funny to think that /Harley Noel Vance/ is nervous on such a small issue when he was just comfortably interacting with one of his future boss's the night before.
