I wake up to the sound of my alarm going off, 6:20am. I get up and quickly shower, and brush my teeth only putting on winged eyeliner and mascara.

I walk back to my bedroom to get changed for work. I put on a pair of leggings and a long sleeve grey Ivory Ella shirt. I put my hair up into a messy bun and put on my Starbucks visor. I quickly throw on my maroon vans and black, light columbia jacket, it's October but it's slightly snowing in NYC.

I grab my phone and purse and make my way outside to walk to work.

My phone starts to ring as i'm walking, a 20 minute walk. Its my mother.

"Good morning Ezra." She says loudly into the phone.

"Good morning mother." I respond.

"Are you busy?" She asks.

"Yes, i'm walking to work." I respond.

"Okay, have a good day Ezra, Love you!" Mom says.

"Good night mom,
love you too." I say before hanging up.

When I get to work, I switch my jacket for my Starbucks apron.

A guy with light brown hair walks up to the counter.

"What can I get you?" I ask.

"I'll take a medium Carmel Frappe, please." The guy says.

"And a name for the order?" I ask.

"Jonah." He says as he blushes. I've seen him in here, writing or reading but he's never come up to order anything.

"That will be right out." I say with a smile.

Jonah walks back to his seat and waits for his order.

"Order for Jonah." I say holding his drink.

He walks up to the counter to get his drink.

"That's going to be $3.19." I say. He hands me $3.20 and tells me to keep the change.

"Ezra." Cheryl, the manager says.

"Yes?" I ask.

"You can go home early, we are going to close early, you can leave now if you'd like." Cheryl says.

"Ah, thank you!" I say putting on my jacket and leaving.

The whole walk home I can't get Jonah out of my head.
