Well, I really want to go home.
Im one of three, the minimum the system requires, on my shift. I'm pretty sure one of my coworkers took her "bathroom break" to vape, or scroll, or do some popular girl shit like post something. How awful of her! Luckily, I just have to be a machine for... How long?
I dare to look away from the blender with the 20000000th Pumpkin Spice Latte in it to check my watch. Phew, I've only got a few minutes left until my shift ends(The other guy's handling the cash register and people, so I get to be asocial! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!)
(insert POV change to third person omniscient??? idk bro its limited at some points yknow its-UAHSQIQDHQ, and yeah, the earlier part was in fact 1st person tumblr POV, but we're now following Pinterest:333 )
Pinterest, having just answered most of her emails and denied responsibility for the file for the blueprint of some client's kitchen being corrupted, cheerily strode into the coffee shop when she noticed a certain familiar blue-haired liberal with pronouns! Looking like they were going to kill themself tonight. Well, that's no good! Maybe she could try to cheer her up somehow? She assumed her drink was ready, so she skipped towards the counter and scanned for a drink with her name on it while lamenting the fact that she didn't have time to go to a better place. Since her drink wasn't there, and the blender...seemed to have something that looked like a Pumpkin Spice Latte, meaning the next drink handed out would have probably been hers. Tumblr seemed to have noticed her too, and was questioning why someone so classy would order something so basic white-girl-y. Well, Pinterest hadn't actually been at Starbucks in a while, so she kind of didn't know what was going on.
Tumblr finished the drink, trying not to get flustered by the pretty girl eyeing her from afar, almost like a puppy. Pinterest 100% didn't notice they caught onto her, and was just idling around in beat to the song she was listening to. Honestly, both of them were being super gay, and neither of them knew the other knew.
Tumblr, with the drink in hand, reached to put the drink on the counter, when Pinterest practically lunged over it to grab the drink from Tumblr directly, brushing her hand and giving Tumblr a wink. Pinterest hoped that would cheer them up, because why wouldn't it, right? Pinterest's brow furrowed at Tumblr lightly jumping and cursing themself under their breath. Why didn't it work? Well, it was a bad flirting idea, but goddamnit, she's running out of ideas! Why couldn't Tumblr just ask her out already???
The awkward interaction honestly ruined Tumblr's workflow. They were startled by the touch and almost dropped the drink. On one hand, Tumblr couldn't ever be mad at Pinterest. On the other hand, they were finally able to mechanize themself and that was ruined! Well, whatever.
Pinterest took the drink and tottered out, mustering up a wave to nobody, hoping to forget the interaction. At least the falling leaves that met her outside were beautiful(like Tumblr, heh).
