I had three simple rules:  
1. Never remove the hood and mask.  
2. Don’t attract attention.  
3. Follow rule one and two at all costs.  

Simple, right? Well, I followed them religiously—until Jason came along and shattered them all. I didn’t want anyone to know my identity. I just wanted to stay in the shadows, finish school, and disappear. But no, the stupid jock had to get in my way, and now my peaceful, hidden life is in ruins.  

I didn’t mean to embarrass the school’s golden boy. His name? Jason. He’s the son of the country’s richest CEO. Ironically, I chose this place to hide from my own father, the man I’m trying to escape. I look too much like him, and if anyone made the connection, my cover would be blown. Hence, the hood and mask I wear every single day.  

But now, instead of just hiding from my father, I have to watch out for Jason, too. He’s vowed to make my life miserable. I still can’t figure out his obsession with me—one minute he’s humiliating me in front of everyone, and the next he’s trying to kiss me behind the bleachers.

So, there I was, throwing myself into work, letting the endless parade of customers keep my hands and brain busy. And oh, what a variety of characters walked through those doors.

There were the rude ones who acted like they owned the place because they bought a single latte. The meek ones who could barely whisper their orders without looking like we'd bite. The bratty kids running circles around tables, their parents pretending they didn't exist. And my personal favorite? The shy ones who stuttered through their order like they were confessing their darkest secrets.

Oh, and of course, my absolute least favorite: the rich, spoiled brats. The ones who strutted in like they were gracing us with their presence, demanding almond milk this and oat milk that, like we were some kind of farm-to-table café. Honestly, they knew exactly how to get under my skin.
