Chapter Text
Chapter One:
The sky was silver and the wind was short and cold. It was going to rain without a doubt. She did very well to bring the umbrella.
Sugar Cubes. She has already arrived where her wanted.
The coffee was in need of a waitress. She would take advantage of that I was on vacation at school to get out of the comfort zone a little. It was always good to have a buck when you needed it.
She wiped her feet on the entrance rug and entered. The place was small, but elegant. The place had the delicious smell of coffee and cookies. A woman with short brown hair was putting cookies in the window. Sayaka approached her.
"Good afternoon, welcome to Sugar Cubes, what would you like to order?" Smiled
"I am here because of the job of waitress!"
"I will take you to the office, but I just need to take some cookies out of the oven! In the meantime you can wait at one of our tables!"
The girl sat down at the table and waited patiently. He observed the environment. White tile floors and gray brick walls. The roof was patterned with blue clouds. The counter was white and some corners of the store were decorated with white flowers.
"Come in!" The woman at the counter asked
The room was like the rest of the store. The table was white and had a laptop and a vase of flowers.
"I'm Amaya Kobayashi, owner and store manager! Please sit down!" Sayaka obeyed. Her heart was racing, she was afraid of going bad."What is your name?"
"My name is Sayaka Maizono, I'm 16 years old!"
"Tell me, why do you want this job?"
"It would be a great opportunity to get out of the comfort zone and create a sense of responsibility. I also find it very productive since I'm on vacation."
"Have you worked in a coffee shop or bar before?"
"No, this is my first time, but I don’t think they would hire a minor to work at the bar!" She was sincere, if she lied she would have to explain how and they could find out the lie.
"Truth!" And wrote something in the notebook "What are you going to do when a customer is rude or even aggressive towards you, your colleagues and other customers?" The manager's brown eyes looked at her waiting for an answer
"I will politely ask them to leave or I will be forced to call the police!"
"A more correct choice does not exist!"
The blue-haired girl was beaming, the owner liked her responses, but she had to be realistic, since she had little chance of making it.
"Tell me what your best qualities are!"
"I can always be in a good mood and be punctual!" she prayed to be the qualities that were necessary
"Nobody wants to be served by a grumpy waitress!" And noted again "Do you know what a mocha coffee is?"
"Yes, it is a mixture of coffee and hot chocolate! I did some research on the coffees before I came here!"
"Oh, smart girl!" Amaya laughed "You know how to prepare something?"
"Yes, of course! My hobby and passion is cooking!"
"We will see this if you win the vacancy! Now you can do these calculations, I need to see if you can calculate well, we don't want any wrong price problems! Again!" The manager handed the sheet over and the girl answered one by one.
"Very well, Miss Maizono, everything seems to be perfect, we just need you to fill in your form with your information and call to let us know the result!" The girl wanted to jump full of joy, but she refrained from passing by Amaya and losing her chances"Would you like something before you go?"
"Just a hot chocolate for travel!"
The ride home was smooth, it continued to rain and that was no problem. It was no worse than she would have predicted when she returned.
"I'm back!" She entered the house and took off her shoes. No answer, as always. She was right again, his father was not at home. He is always busy at work and even on vacation he does not rest, even to spend time with her. Feeling tired she went to the bedroom and lay down closing her eyes.
Her cell phone rang. Who will be?
"Good Evening, Sayaka! Were you able to do the interview?" Makoto, a schoolmate who had been traveling with his family, sent a message, he is a very attentive friend and Sayaka was happy for someone to talk to her.
"I did well, now just wait for them to call to check it out!"
"Did you eat anything there?" He sent a greedy emoji
"HIhihhihi! I only had a hot chocolate!" A laughing emoji graced the message. She was happy that her day didn't end bad.
