PART TIME JOB

Meanwhile , Eriana is on her way to her part time job after going through such a hectic morning again . She sit on a bench at the nearest bus stop still with her headphone stuck at her .

Anyway , it's not like that was the first time Larissa trying to pick a fight with her . Apparently , everytime Larissa saw her , she just likes to make trouble though she herself doesn't even care what Larissa did . She just treat Larissa as if she was being immature . Anyway , she's a spoiled girl with a wealthy family behind her , where does she will have the time to be mature ? Heh ..

But .... Deep in her heart , she's a little just a tiny weeny feeling jealous of Larissa . No matter what she did , wrong or right , there is always someone supporting her beside her . Her twin , Leo ... Just take earlier accident for an example , Leo obviously know his sister the one who's wrong , but he comforts Larissa and blame Eriana for everything . How .... She wish she got someone like that too ..

Suddenly she snaps to reality back .

' Oh my god ! What did I even think earlier ! Stupid Eriana ! Don't wish for that anymore ! Dont ! Let's just focus for work , yes ! Work ! '

With perfect timing , the bus come and she hurriedly steps inside looking at the time it's almost 2 PM meaning her shift will come . The bus stop at the near coffee shop and she quickly run to the shop , reporting her arrival and started her work .

Today she's working at Sweet Coffee Shop . She's just started her part time job here a week ago when she's fired from a certain cafe because of a dispute with a colleague . Fortunately , the manager gives her a flexible schedule works where she can choose the time and day to work so she can packed a few part time jobs in a day .

" Ery , today you have to work as a waitress . The other girl that supposed to be here is not coming . "

A woman in her 30s with a short hair and a few inches taller than Eriana come to her at a staff room . Her nametag has the tittle manager . She is Mrs Filia , her boss a.k.a the manager here . She's kind of softie with women staff but strict with male staff so sometimess people take her as granted that's why that girl dare to not come in last minute . And that nickname .... Ery ... Mrs Filia said that her name was too long so she just shorten it .. It was ... the first time people called her by a nickname though it sounds like a male .

" But .... I was always worked at the back . You know .. I was kind of can't talk with people ... "

" I know , dear Ery , but what should we do ? There's no other people here . It's okay , you just need to send what they need . No need to have an extra talk . What about this ? I'll give you an extra pay , okay ? "

" .... Fine .. , but it's only for today , Mrs . Filia ..."

" I know , I know ... Who will understand you if it's not me . Now , Go , go ! "

She spend the day as a one - day waitress . Actually , it's not that hard but because she wanted to avoid interacting with people that's why she tried not to do these things .

Another costumer leave the shop .

" Thank you , please come again .. "

After saying that , she picks up the leftovers and cups on the table to the metal tray she hold . A group of young boys that looks like 16/17 comes into the shop when she peeks at the entrance . She hurriedly wants to put the tray at the back to serve them when ...

Clang !

The boys bumped into her making the plates and cups fall into pieces . She stumbled for a second before feeling blood drips at her ankle . She can feels the stares of other customers afraid it will alarm Mrs . Filia . She squats to collect the pieces so she can do her job when someone tugged her arm .

" Hey ! You should apologize to me ! My clothes are dirty now because of you ! Such a mere worker and you dare to act as if nothing happen !! "

One of the young boys started to make a scene and yell at her . She see the dirty part he said when actually it's only a tiny bit of coffee splatters and people won't even realize it if they didn't look at him properly . Eriana really wanted to laugh at him , he even dare to insult her when his group of friends started to bump into her first and the one who's hurt was her .

Despite the fuming rage , Eriana still has that poker face that people can't read her mind no matter what .

" Customer , are you hurt ? "

Dumbfounded with Eriana's question that has nothing to do with his words , he stutters a bit .

" W-what ?? N-no ! What are you talking about ?! "

" Then .. thank goodness . So , you boys , do you have any sickness or problems here ? " Her fingers trailed to her head .

They started to look at her weirdly .

" Of course not ! What's wrong with you ?! "

" Hey ! Are you crazy ! Do you need me to call my dad here to teach you a lesson ?! "

Eriana scoffed with that statement .

Ahhh - so that was it , why these kids have no manners , because they have parents that spoiled them too much .

" Well , if you boys don't have any problems , then you should have known who's the wrong one here . Don't delay my work for nothing . "

She ignores the boys and tries to pick up the pieces of glass again .

Looking at Eriana who has no intention to apologize , the boys starts to throw the chairs near them towards Eriana . Eriana knows that they will still make trouble for her but didn't expect that they will go this far . When she saw the heavy chair coming to her sight , she make a calculation to dodge it in time but before she can do that , someone pull her from behind .

A slender arm with a slight rough hand comes into her sight and the arm that touched her holds her back carefully . She tried to push the person away but the person holds her with a strength that she can't push away . Her body comes into contact with a slim body and a military colour suit with a sports shoes .

She raise her head to the person who's much more taller than her and see It's a young man whose expression is cold but warm at the same time . Unlike her poker face that people can't read , his poker face has a slight expression on them that he can't hide . His wrinkled eyebrows with a worried expression , his fair and smooth face just like a girl , his light brown hair and beautiful hazel eyes . Hazel .... ? She thought it was rare to has a pair of hazel eyes like her .

That young man finally speaks up after Eriana done analyzing him .

" Are you .... okay ? "
