Pia Latte

True Determination

Pia Latte was at it's general level of busy today. Right now you were on your break, eating cake along with Kaoru. You smiled, while shoving another spoon full of cake into your mouth.

"Rikuto's cakes just bet better!" you commented.

"I don't know how he does it." Kaoru replied. "Oh! On our birthdays he should make us cakes. For free! I mean we work soo hard!" he said, surrounded by piles of dirty dishes.

"Yeah. We should really ask for a raise. We do all the work around here" you said, as Hikaru walked past, holding at least 10 desserts in his arms.

Kaoru snickered. "Is Itsuki still in there?" he asked.

"Yep! Locking him in the bathroom while it's his shift was the best plan we've ever come up with!" you whispered.

Hikaru walked over to the table with the two of you were eating on.

"Have you to seen Itsuki? It's his shift" Hikaru asked.

"Nope" Kaoru answered, mouth full of rasberry mousse.

"And why aren't you two working?" he asked, sternly.

"We're only on a 5 minute break!" you said, cheerfully.

"It's been a half hour" Hikaru deadpanned.

You both sweatdropped.

"Well...then we're..." you started, trying to come up with an excuse.

"We're just finishing off the dishes which the customers have left behind!" Kaoru exclaimed, shoving another spoon full of mousse into his mouth.

Hikaru sighed. Suddenly the door slammed open and Itsuki stormed in. His hair had a few leaves in it and one of his trouser legs were soaked.

"Hey bro!" Kaoru said, waving.

Itsuki stared at his twin, panting. "HEY BRO?!!" he yelled, lunging at Kaoru.  "YOU LOCK ME IN A TOILET AND ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY IS HEY BRO?!?!" Itsuki yelled, grabbing Kaoru by the shoulders and shaking him.

"It was a joke!! GET OVER IT!!" Kaoru cried, jumping onto Itsuki, tackling him to the floor.

"I HAD TO CLIMB OUT OF THE TINY BATHROOM WINDOW! I FELL INTO A ROSE BUSH! AND IN THE PROCESS, I STEPPED IN THE TOILET!" Itsuki yelled back, throwing Kaoru off him.

The twins continued to wrestle eachother on the floor while Hikaru rubbed his temples.

"Get up both of you" Hikaru said, but the twins continued to fight each other. An anime vein grew on Hikaru. "Stop or you're fired!" he yelled. The twins stopped and looked at Hikaru to see whether or not he was serious. The next thing you knew, they were on their knees in front of the man begging, waterfall tears sliding down their faces.

"Kiyo-chan! Table 2 is ready to order!" Rikuto called from the kitchen. You took out the notepad from your pocket and walked over to table 2. But once you saw the person sitting at the table, you were quite confused.

"Isane-sensei? What are you doing here?" you asked.

The atmosphere around him seemed to turn colder and he looked up at you slowly.

"Payback" he said

"Ok.." you said, cringing, not fully understanding what your teacher meant "So what'll you have?" you asked cheerfully.

"The toffee banana split with the cherry tarts" he said.

You took down the order and arrived back later with the dish. You placed it on the table and were about to walk off, until Isane spoke up.
