7: Fluke.

~7~

Fluke.

       I'm really exhausted. I didn't expect that their business is really popular. I mean, yeah they're rich and stuff but it's till unbelievable. It was like all my energy was drained up from my body. After I made a dish, another one comes along, then more and more and more. It's never ending. If it wasn't for my mom, I wouldn't do this but I thought of it and she was right. I should be more responsible and somehow help her.

       " Hey," I looked up from my desk to glance who greeted me. " Whoa, you look crap."

      " Thanks." I muttered to Nate as I buried my head again on my arms to nap for a while. I made it home at 10:00 pm since there are so many orders and also because my shift is from 6-10. 

       " Didn't get much sleep last night?"

       " Yeah, but most probably because I was tired from yesterday." I replied, yawning.

He thought for a moment and said, " Oh yeah. Your part time job. How was it?"

       " Tiring." I grumpily replied. I wish I could get a really long sleep now. Maybe I can get it later but my eyelids are really heavy. 

He rolled his eyes at me and said, " I can see that. What I mean is, tell me about it."

I heavily sighed as I spoke, " It's tiring but somehow fun. It's my passion after all. But don't worry, you won't get to see me this everyday since I'll only be there at Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays."

      " But aren't we always half-day at Thursdays?" he asked.

There are always meetings of the teachers with the school head every Thursday afternoon; that's the reason why we only go to school half of the day then go home at noon. I don't know why they hold meetings like that often.

      " That's the point. I can nap before my shift so that I won't be that exhausted." I came up with this idea while cooking because I'm the kind of person that wants everything organized and prepared. 

The conversation was cut off at that since the teacher arrived and gave us something to do. We're supposed to have a quiz today at Chemistry. I might as well study later.

I've been working at there for almost 5 days in total and it is really tiring. Gladly, I was able to (somehow), cope up with our lessons since I'm always found sleeping at classes especially when I stayed up late all night finishing my homework that I wasn't able to finish because of work.

Don't forget to mention that I'm currently reviewing for my exams now which will be held next week. Meaning, less sleep because after work or school, I spend at least 2 hours studying. 

I might be the happy-go-lucky kind of guy but I want to at least give happiness to my mom and relieve her worries. Like, if I do well in school, I'm sure that will help her relax.

She's still moving on from 'it'.

I sighed as I furiously ran my hands through my hair, getting myself to concentrate on what I'm reading about. I just got home from work and freshly out from a warm bath then here I am.

I sighed again. I haven't seen Lily since I first came there. And here I thought we'll be seeing each other everyday. Don't get me wrong! It's just that I made a lot of pastries for her and it's a pity if they lose their taste. That's all. I'm not proving anything here. Period.

I jumped at the sudden ring of my phone. Someone is calling and that someone is a creature named Nate.

       " What's up?" I asked.
