Episode 3

I didn't come to their practice match today, I need some space, I really need to calm myself down. The boss asked if I wanted to take today's shift so I could rest on thursday. I agreed and took the shift. I heard the bell on the door rang, signaling that someone must've came in, I wiped the counter and prepared myself to take the customer's order.

"welcome, may I take your order?" I looked up to the customer and I flinched as I realised it was the same girl tooru kissed yesterday.

"yes I'll have-" she abruptly stopped talking as she looked up and realized I was the cashier. " oh it's you, god you're even uglier than the last time I saw you" she said with a disgusted look on her face.

"thank you! and you're even prettier than the last time I saw you" I smiled. " now what would you like to order?". I asked politely.

" I'm insulting you, you freak" she said.

"and I'm complementing you! don't worry I've known how to form and understand a sentence since I was three years old!" I laughed. she stood there silently and started to order.

"I'll have an ice chocolate and a croissant" I tapped in the order.

" Your total will be 770 yen" I said pulling out the receipts. she threw her money at my face and I smiled, I took the money that had fell on the floor and walked over to the pastry area to prepare her order.

"here you are, have a nice day!" I put her order on the counter and she grabbed it and left.

"__-san how are you so patient?" my coworker, terushima yuuji, asked. he is also a high school student in need of money, he goes to Johzenji High.

" why wouldn't I be yuuji-san?" I asked. "There's no use putting more fuel to the fire" I sighed. I had three more hours to cover so I decided to clean up the tables.

"I'm going over at the back, I need to take out the trash, just call me if there's anything you need to help with okay?" yuuji said. I simply nodded and continue cleaning the tables.

"__! are you here?" I heard a familliar voice.

" oikawa-san, hello!" I smiled. "your girlfriend just came a few minutes ago, what a coincidence! did you see her on your way in?" I asked.

"she's not my girlfriend and yes I did see her" he said walking towards the counter.

" what would you like to order?" I asked him preparing myself to tap in his orders on the register.

"__-chan I'm sorry, please don't break up with me, I made a mistake" he pleaded once more. I sighed in disbelief.

"oikawa-san I thought we talked about this at school? I'm working right now" I said.

"__ I need you"

" oikawa-san if you're not going to order something then you need to leave" I said politely but sternly.

"__ I love you, please don't leave me, I'm sorry" tooru said.

" I love you too oikawa-san! we're friends aren't we?" I chuckled. " now if you're not going to order anything I politely asked you to leave" he sighed and left. I continued cleaning up the tables. yuuji walked in after a few seconds.

" I saw you talking to your boyfriend" he said. " did you guys break up? you called him your friend and he said please don't leave me"

" oh that, he cheated on me at yesterday's match" I replied. yuuji was startled. " and the girl who came in before him him was the girl he kissed, what a coincidence huh?" I continued.

"__, you really are something, how can you not be hurt  because of this?" he asked worried.

" oh I'm hurt yuuji-san, but I just chose to keep it myself" I explained.

"you are the only thing, you can control as they say"

"__.."

" and I can't control what others do, so the least I can do is accept it, it is what it is you know?" I laughed and continued cleaning the tables.
