(A/N some changes have been made. I decided to still make Kina work at the bakery but she's been hired there after her volunteer work.)

"If you don't mind piping the butter cream icing on those cupcakes there, Kina, I can get started on the second batch." Debra speaks from behind the counter where a fresh batch of red velvet cupcakes sit. Room temp and ready for icing.
I nod eagerly, happy to take up the job of icing as I loved how satisfying and relaxing it is to pipe cream onto a dark red cupcake.
So placing my bag down and rolling my sleeves up, I wash my hands and get to work with an apron wrapped around me. I had just got here around five minutes ago and here Debra stands, flour and food colouring on her hands and apron as she rushes around the bakery with our coworker Jenny.
"How are you enjoying working here?" Jenny asks and I look across the room to find her standing at the door that connects with the front area where customers are served.
"I honestly love it." I speak truthfully and a smile pulls at Jenny's lips.
"That's good to hear. It's nice to have a young and fresh face around here. It gets boring looking at Debra's old head all day, everyday." She laughs loudly as Debra gasps and sends daggers her way.
"How do you think I feel when I look at you!" Debra shoots back and I chuckle. Shaking my head at their antics and decide to get back to work.

Knocking twice on the front door to my parents home, I await for Mum to open it as she had called me earlier and urged for me to come over as soon as possible.
She didn't sound alarmed though so I'm not stressed or anxious. Which is good as today was a clear bright sunny day, great for feeling happy. Especially because I don't have work today either, which is good.
When the door opens I raise an eyebrow. Archie stands there in just his boxers with his hair a mess, so I assume he just woke up.
I wonder if he even has a job?
Or does he have college now?
I wouldn't know how it works to be honest as I never got to experience that part of my life due to...reasons.
"Mums in the office." He mumbles groggily. Rubbing at his eye as he yawns and steps aside. I nod and kick my shoes off before walking in.
When I reach the office up stairs, I find Mum resting behind the desk with her elbow situated on it and her head leaning against her palm. I knock quietly and she glances up from reading paper work.
