Alice
UUUUGGGGHHHHHH... another hell day at school. My Science teacher just gave us a project due this Friday; I have a test in Math, Values, and Science tomorrow; it has been only morning period and I feel like passing out. Also, I have to work later for 5 hours STRAIGHT at the cafe nearby our school (normally my shift is only 3 hours). I'M ONLY 15 CUT ME OFF SOME SLACKS. Dear God, why have you forsaken me? Did I do something really really bad in my past life? If I did, i'm sorry about that please just lift off this curse of having so many problems me.
I slam my locker door shut and bang my head unto it. "Hey easy there. Don't hurt yourself hun" groaning, I turn my head towards my left to see my bestfriend, Megan. "Woah! What happened to you!?" She exclaimed "you look like a zombie."
"Morning period happened to me." I told her.
We walked to the cafeteria to get something we can munch while doing our assignment in arts in the back of our school.
As we are drawing. Someone walked up to our spot, both of us looked up to see our friend, jessa, looking like a zombie just like me. "OH MY GOLLY JESSA! WHAT IN TERTANIA HAPPENED TO YOU? YOU LOOK EXACTLY LIKE ALICE, AND THAT IS NOT GOOD!"
"Rude, but... she's right. What happened to you?" I asked, full of concern. "I haven't had a goodnight sleep since last week. I only slept like 3-5 hours yesterday" after answering, she yawned.
Jessa do have trouble sleeping sometimes. Maybe she's stressed out, the exams are coming up and as I know her she would read the books and her notes all day just to get ready for the exams even if it's a month away. She's really the type of person who is afraid of failing so she does her best all the time.
I snapped out of my train of thoughts as I heard loud snoring and feel a heavy thing in my left shoulder. "Zzzzzzźzz" Jessa is now asleep. Good for her, atleast she could rest even for just a small period of time. I continue what I was doing before Jessa came. Argh! Why can't I get this left eye right!? Come on!!!

AT LAST.
End of school has come. As soon as I got out of my school I walked to the cafe. I was greeted by the faint music playing that is being drowned in the sound of people chatting and the sound of computer keyboard clicking loudly. "Evening pen!" I greet to our manager as I walk pass her, "Goodevening to you too Alice. So how was school?" She sounds like a mother hehehehe. " It was okay pen. A little stressful but I think I'll manage" I say as I am putting my school bag into my locker.
I went to the changing room so I can put on my uniform for work. As I exit it, Chad walked infront of me carrying a lot of dishes,"let me get that from you Chad" " thanks Alice". I went and washed all the dishes quickly but still cleaning it toroughly so that no complains from the costumers saying that "this plates are not clean enough! I want to speak to your manager" wouldn't want to get trouble, right?
2 hours have already passed. Now i'm in the cashier just waiting for a customer to arrive and order. 6:30, it's only a few minutes before 7, which is the hour when the cafe would be really busy with all the college students going to do their homework and have a coffee or students that will do an all nighter just because they have a big test coming up tommorow. That reminds me... I have a test tommorow, i'll need to pull an allnighter for this, hope I won't pass out tomorrow during the test.
The bell chimes, meaning someone has entered. I look to see who just came, a tall black haired, brown skinned boy with glasses and books in his hand a big bag at his back. 'Going to do a project in here huh'. I smiled to the boy as he stands infront of me waiting to get his order. "One medium americano please" he said shyly. "Thank you sir, that'll be 85 pesos." He hands me 100 peso bill, i handed him the change. "Your order will take a minute sir. What should we call you once your order is ready?" "Mark." He said in a low soft voice. "Okie dokie" putting his name in one of the medium cups,I saw him walking towards an empty seat just right next to a window. I think he likes working in a space where he could gaze outdoors if he wants to a break from working.
Another person just walked in.
A beautiful girl with long brownish black hair with a mole right under her right eye, carrying a laptop with her right hand and a bag on the other. I smiled once again as she stood infront of me "Good evening Maam, what is your order?" "One large espresso please" "and that is for?" "Michelle" "that'll be 90 pesos maam" "here you go" I got her her change and soon after she went and sat on the table near the shop's entrance.
"ONE MEDIUM AMERICANO FOR MARK" Mark started walking towards the counter to get his order from my co worker, Vector, I heard Mark say thankyou shyly to Vector. Awww, what a polite man. After a few minutes, Michelle got her order and proceeded to continue what she is working on, seems like what she is doing is very hard considering the stressed look on her face and the way she is tapping on her computer.
Soon a group of 4 friends got in, each of them carrying books. They all sat down in the corner of the place near the window, they then proceed to chat, I think they're deciding on what to order.
Tap... Tap... Tap...
I took another glance to the group of friends. I think it's been 5 minutes since they walked in? One of them stood up and walked towards the counter to take the orders. As I always do, I smiled to our dear costumer "What is your order Maam?" "2 iced coffee, 1 Caramel Macchiato,1 Cappucino, 4 egg sandwiches and 1 cheese flavored fries" "Okiedokie maam. What should I call you?" "Reyla" "ok Reyla, your order will be ready for about 20 minutes" "ok, how much is it?"
"It'll be 400 pesos Maam." She handed me two 200 peso bills and proceeded to walk back to her friends.
Another 2 hours has passed. YES! Only 1 hour before my shift ends, can't wait to meet my bed once more and land to it like a majestic bird landing on a brach of a tree.
My bed~ I miss you so much. Just wait for me my precious baby.
My thoughts stopped as my co worker Chad slightly tapped my shoulder, I looked back to him and as soon as I looked at him he said that manager wants to see me. Why would she want to see me? Oh gosh, did I do something wrong...hmmmm... I can't remember anything that I did something wrong, MAYBE SHE WILL FIRE ME! please no ;_; I still need money for food.
I knocked on the door and heard a shout "come in!".
"Manager? You wanted to see me?"
"Ah. Yes Alice. I wanted to talk to you about something"
"Ok."
