"Here's your Caramel Whipped Frappé and Crème Brulee Cheesecake. Please Enjoy yourselves" I smiled and placed the customer's orders carefully.

'That's the last table for today.....hopefully I'll get a few extra yens'

I glanced around the shop before yawning, and dusted my apron.

I'm tired.. So tired..

I feel like i could pass out any moment. But i still kept my head up and smiled widely at every customers. I needed money so i've been doing full shifts for a week as a Barista and a waitress at this local cafe.

Sighing, I went back to the coffee station and started cleaning off spills.

"Luna!  You can leave that right there, i'll be cleaning that.. And oh! You should pack your things,because Ms. Meeks said that we'll close the shop early! Isn't that great?"Aster came running in and had sparkles in her eyes

" Really? That's great!!, don't worry I'll finish this off"I assured her, and then went back to cleaning the countertop.

"Hey.. about the place where i stay.........?" Aster's voice trailed off, i could sense she was nervous

"T-the landlord just gave the room to another person.. I'm sorry I tried to convince her to just give the room to you but she won't listen..."Her voice was becoming silent with every words, Was she worried??..

" Oh... That's too bad, but it's okay" I chuckled..."I can just save more money and look for other ones.. There must be somewhere cheap out there."I faked a smile

I still don't have a place to move to since old hag said he'll kick me out in a week.

'Is it really this hard to pay for everything yourself?!'

"I told you Luna, you can live with me in the mean time. You're just 15! I can't just leave you wandering the streets?! And you aren't even allowed to work at your age... Be thankful that Ms. Meeks was nice enough to let you work here... So just stay at my place!"

I immediately shook my head and patted her on the shoulder.

'She can't be dragged into my mess, let alone get hurt as well.......He'll kill her'

"Wow aster! You're actually being serious for once? Don't worry about me, I still have some places in mind"She just pouted at me

My mind had crossed many things as I thought of scenarios that might happen today

" and...I'm fine, you already did so much for me and I assure you I can handle this."I smiled again

"B-bu-----"

"I'm fine. Promise.I may be fifteen but I can do so much! I can eve-----"

"Okay! At least let me treat you to lunch later." Aster pouted

"Okay. You're the best!" I chuckled

After a few minutes, we closed the shop and headed to the nearest mall, We decided to eat at WacDonalds.

"So..Luna, you've been with us for what.. A week? But you haven't told me anything about yourself! Do you have a boyfriend?? Tell me everything!" She giggled
