Another day passed for the two Highschool friends, now entering a renewed and refreshed friendship. On one Friday, Azka was exhausted out of his mind due to all the things he had to have done in such a short period of time. Knowing he had to pull an all nighter, he went to the one reliable place he always comes to. Azka entered inside the cafe tiredly, wobbling as he walked. He immediately sat on the nearest chair he could find and sighed exhaustedly. Even though it's 8 PM, he knew the cafe would still be open since Fridays till Saturdays are the days the cafe closes at 10.
"You seem tired out of your mind, hm? Want the usual then?" Her voice managed to make him jump slightly. He looked up slowly and spoke.
"Mmh, no thanks... I'll skip the tea, I need the extra caffeine for my assignments and never ending essays I'll have to deal with tonight... I'll order take out cuz Im not gonna finish them in 2 hours..." He yawned before slamming his head on the table.
"Rough day huh? heheh, Alrightly then, sleepy head. One coffee, with sugar, sweet like you." She chuckled before nodding her head.
"Put it on my tab, I'll pay by Saturday..." Lugia's voice was muffled by the sling bag he put on the counter but, Alga's hearing definitely didn't lose to it.
"As you always do, heh. Y'know what, just for you, I'll accompany you till' all your buisness is done, I'll close up and you'll have all the time you need!"
"Gee, thanks, I really needed the extra companionship. It can get pretty tiring talking to myself."
"All good buddy, quick reminder to not drool on the counter, the marble is very expensive" She pat his back before walking off to her kitchen.
"I won't, I won't" Azka waves his hand in the air before slamming his face back to the bag on the counter.
The both of them spend the latter rest of the night sitting near the counter drinking coffee, and writing essays, one cup after another. Hours felt like an eternity, but to Azka, it was all worth it for who's accompanying him. They ended up staying for quite some time.
"Finally! Eight cups of coffee later... I am so done with this."
"Good job on getting that done! now pack up and get some rest for the weekend, I'm sure you need it very much, heheh." Alga says as she wipes some cups from behind the counter
"Alright, I'm tappin' out. Thanks for letting me stay here for a bit I'll see you... *Yawwwnnnn* Whenever..."
"Careful on the way!"
Azka parted ways with Alga, but as Alga was cleaning the counter in the cafe, she noticed a peculiar book that wasn't there before... the title read "Azka's Journal." Wherever this story may lead, it may very well take a strange direction.
