'Hi ho, hi ho, off to work I go, it's a terrible day and I'm singing anyway, hi ho, hi ho off to work I go' I sung to myself as I went to work. As I was about to get there I noticed a large group of people that might of been a family, but if it was I'd feel bad for the mother. There was like 16 kids all at least under 20, all heading to the little cafe I work at. 'Oh God it was supposed to be my day off too. Why was I called in anyways? It was probably Kelly being lazy like always.' Yes the oh so amazing Kelly being lazy, and to be honest I don't hate her because she's not all bad. Well, I might as well make them my first customers of the day. And with that I went behind the counter.
"Hello and welcome to (y/l/n) cafe where you tell us what you want and the combination of what flavors you want to mix. My name is (y/n) and I'll be taking your order." I said with a fake smile. "Yes just give us a minute to decide." Said the, what I think, was the father. "OK, just tell me when you're ready." We stood there for about five minutes till they decided what they wanted. " It's that all?" I asked but then the youngest walked up and asked her father if she could have a pencil, and of course he didn't have one. After that she looked like she was about to cry.
"Hold on, I think I might have another around here somewhere. Ah there it is. Here you go little girl." I said handing her a pencil. "Thank you mister." "Yes thank you, and sorry for the bother." said the father. "No problem, anyways that will be $50.00 and is that for here or to go?" The answer I got was not so good. "That is for here." Oh God. "Alright, go take a seat where ever you like and I'll bring it to you when it's done."

I just got done with making their order and to tell the truth it was hard as fuck. 17 People in one go, first time. "OK who wanted the chocolate milk with peanut butter, and who wanted the jelly and milk mix?" Two people raised their hands. "OK the last thing is peppermint hot chocolate with a little cinnamon, who does that go to?" No one raised their hand. "Sorry that is his in the green hat. He's been addicted to some online game again." I looked at the kid and seen he was about my age. "Ben get off of your phone for one minute and answer this young man this instance." He spoke threateningly​ to him. "It's OK." I said then saw the game he was playing and then it hit me literally. He turned around and bumped into me. "Sorry." was all he said. "Oh it's alright Ben I understand I'm on level 250 after all." That was when he looked like he saw a ghost. "You're Patient Zero the one I talked to last night. Wait you work at a cafe?" He asked. "Yep. I'm Patient Zero and I work here because it my shop after all."

(Time Skip) Sorry

It was the end of the day and I was bone tired. 'Time to go home and sleep. I don't even want to play the game I'm so tiered." I thought to myself. 'Well beautiful night see you after work tomorrow.' I thought as I went inside. "Ah a nice hot bath, dinner, and off to bed is the most beautiful thought in the world." I muttered to myself and it was true. "I guess I need to start the shower. Ugg. I'm feeling lazy though but I gotta do it." I said to no one in particular.
As I was getting in the shower I started thinking about how that man reacted to finding out that me and Ben talked before. The thing is that he sounded a little angry to tell truth.

(Flash Back)

"So you two have talked before? Ben why have you not told us of this? Tell us sir how old are you?" He asked angrily. "Well mister I am 17 years old but I have already finished school. I finished highschool when I was 13 and went straight to college." I told him trying my damn hardest to put on a smile.

(Present Time)

I just got done with my shower and I was about to go down the stairs to eat when I heard talking. "Hurry up Jane, we just
n-n-need to get out of here and report to s-slenderman and tell him what we found in this place." The first one said to who I'm guessing is Jane. "Calm down Toby I got this. You just make sure that he is not out of the shower yet." Said Jane. "Fine but h-h-hurry up I need to get back to Clock." He sounded embarrassed. And who or what is clock? "Aww want your little girlfriend? How cute, I mean come on Toby why rush? You can't feel pain right, so why hurry?" 'Wow, Jane sounds like a bitch and Toby sounds annoying perfect match for friends.' Note the sarcasm.
"Toby look at this! I found a clipping of a newspaper and it talks about that mysterious death three years ago." 'Fucking shit fuck damn hell fucking shit I left it on the counter again.' "You mean o-of the Jessie and Felix (y/l/n)? W-why would he have t-that?" He asked sounding freaked "I don't know. Maybe we should head back now and tell Slenderman about this and maybe we don't have to come back here, this place is giving me a bad feeling now." With that they left without a sound accept the sound of pounding feet, and just like that they were gone.


I hope you like it so far and I know I could do a lot better. I just hope you like it.
