Prologue

"Hi! Good afternoon! I'm Lime, and I'll be your waitress. Can I take your order?" she said as she took out her small notebook and pen. "yeah, we're ready. So can I get a---" as the old lady says her order.

She smiled while taking the customer's orders. "okay! it'll be ready in a bit, just call me if there's a problem." she smiled as she heads to the kitchen to place another order.

Yeah, that's me. I'm Lime, and I'm a waitress. Well, it's just my part time job. I'm a working student, just because I want to atleast help my parents with the bills, and as well as to pay our debt. We got into a big debt towards my Aunt, who is my Mom's sister, and let's say, we don't really get along with her.

But we really are sick of her trying to take over us, just because of an amount of money that we owe her. So, I had no choice but to help my parents pay it. The money that we owe her, was to pay my brother's hospital bill. He got into a traffic accident. And the driver insisted that he was innocent and that it was brother's fault, why he got hit by his car.

My Dad really wanted to bring him to court but it all happened in a wrong timing and my parents were in a tight spot in work. So, they had no choice but to borrow from my Aunt just to pay the hospital bills. And that is why I'm working at this restaurant, everytime I can.

"Lime. Lime. Lime!!!" her best friend called her. "h-huh??" Lime confusingly looked at her. "Gosh, you're zoning out again!" she complained. "oh, sorry hehe" Lime rubbed her head. "This is the 5th, this day." she glared at her. "Er, gomen gomen." Her best friend looked at her worryingly.

" Are you still worried for your brother?" she asked, as she tapped Lime's shoulder. " I mean- of course. Oh! this reminds me, that I have to visit him tonight after my shift." Lime sighed. "oh? until what time even is your shift?" "I'm 2-7, so I guess I'll use the bus on the way."

Her best friend sighed. "Bruh, If only you have a driver's license, then maybe you could just drive all the way there." she complained. "Selene, have you forgotten? I'm too young to take the test, let alone drive?" Lime flicked her forehead. "owwwiee" she feels her forehead.

Selene is my best friend / workmate. She's that kind of friend, that I'd run to whenever I have problems. She's like my sister, older sister. But she acts like she's younger even though, she's older. I guess, she's just an energetic and cheery person.

"Lime!" the manager calls her. "yes sir?" she rushes. "Could you take table 7? Naomi's not here, so no one's gonna take over her tables. Don't worry about the others, I got them covered."

I was gonna complain but it was the first time that he'd actually take a table than making me have them. "uhm okay, sir." Lime responds. The manager smiled at her, then left. It left Lime shocked in a way. "Huh? what's with him? He's always been mean towards me, but today, he's not? really weird" Lime thought.

After an hour or two, it was 5 at the afternoon now. "ughh, why does it feel like time is passing by slowly." Selene complains. "Dude, you've done nothing but complain" Lime replies. "Nah, you're just acting like that cuz you only got 2 more hours left in shift, while mine's 4." Selene glared at her. "Eek! hehe I guess so." Lime rubs her head again.

"Girls! get back to work!!" "Eek! gotta go!"

"Someone get table 7!!" "I'm on it!!

Lime rushes to table 7. "Hi, good afternoon. I'm Lime, and I'll be your waitress. What can I get for you?"

The guy puts down his pencil and looks at the menu. "Well-" he places down the menu then stares. "can I get you?" "E- ehh?!?" Lime breaks her pen in shock.
