Kris just had his mouth shut, from time to time he looked up at Otto and Esta as he texted his bestfriend about what's happening between older friends
Esta seemed to have gotten an idea of what happened, though she was still worried about Karim she managed to calm down.
Kris was glad that the situation wasn't like 'last time' . Seeing Karim and Daniel both peek to see what's happening from the stairs he gave a thumbs up and gestured them to go in the room.
A sigh escaped Esta's mouth "Ugh... I get it, that's enough explaining." she muttered, scratching the back of her neck as she shared glances at both Kris and Otto
Kris with his phone in the corner and Otto behind her eating her snacks
"... How will you two stay here?" She asked, not that she minded the two but for her it may be better if the two leaves as she's about to snooze off
Kris looked at his phone lock screen "I'll be leaving now, anyways, goodnight." He gestured a peace sign as he stepped out of the house
The cold weather outside immediately sending shivers down up his spine, he could be seen rubbing his arms as he quickly hopped onto his bike and drove off
"... you should catch up to him, it's a little fogging today." Esta advised Otto who was also on his way to step out of her house.
"He's only 15 not to mention" She yawned, only to exhale when Otto and his bike were no where to be seen.
While she was busy pondering Otto had already left with his bike, probably, he's catching up to Kris
As the two guys leave, Esta stands up and locks the door before heading upstairs. Not hearing any footsteps but only some muttering and whispering coming from Karim's room
Seeing the door half open, she knocks on the door and tells the two to sleep on time but they looked didn't seem like they would sleep anytime soon "... Watch T.V later if you want but if anything happens I'm in my room, goodnight."
With that sentence, she shuts the door gently and turns around, passing the bathroom and entering her bedroom
She immediately figured out that the two must've been in her room because the blanket on the floor, the remote also on the floor with her string lights turned off was enough proof
As she had forgotten to turn her string lights off before going to work, 'Oh' she remembered as she took out the camera from her sweater
Unfortunately she couldn't record any evidence due to the fact that she had to rush home which was far from the cafe she worked in. She kept the camera as it was, she can just cut the useless parts
"I guess I'll have to finalise it by tomorrow, school's also starting very soon." Yawning she told herself, tossing her shoe near her shoe rack. Setting and alarm.
Tossing herself to the bed as well
Arms spread as she embraced the warmth of her blanket and pillow, it wasn't always that her bed was warm
is it because she's just cold? Probably, afterall she came rushing in the cold weather, she did get a speeding ticket and paid for it because she didn't want to waste time
Shutting her eyes as she made herself fall asleep.
the night went by, the sun rising yet again
The rooster crowing, but she didn't wake up. As her bedroom door creeked open, it was only then that she opened her eyes
Turning her head to the direction of the door, Karim and Daniel was standing by the door "I'm hungry Schwester, can we go somewhere to eat?" Karim whined
Then she rememberd, Daniel has to go back today and she in charge of dropping him as both of his parents are busy with work
The alarm started ringing but stopped as Esta shut it off and stood up. Bed messy, not to mention her brunette looking like a bird nest
"... I have work today, I won't be done early." she responded, she took wanted to go out and eat but she had things to do... But seeing their disappointed faces, she decided to take them to the cafe she works in
She sighed "Alright go and get ready." She turned to look at their direction but didn't see them, she figured they ran to change
She too for changed into something warm, two stockings inside her baggy pants, a black sneaker.
Adjusting her muffler with her sweater. She rubbed her eyes "Oh" she realised that she has forgotten to wash her face
going to the bathroom and washing her face, she walked downstairs and grabbed the keys to her bike and sat on the sofa, waiting for the two to run downstairs
Footsteps running down, Karim and Daniel giggling, thankfully Daniel has bought his own warm clothes, though he had to borrow a glove from Karim so that his hands don't freeze "Let's go Schwester!"
Without waiting for Esta, those two ran to the garrage gate, Daniel lifting both the back and front gate as he sat on Karim's shoulder, "Power of friendship" they said as he hopped down
"These two..." she huffed, following behind them. Karim and Daniel sitting behind her as the two grabbed on the one infront of them"But remember okay? During lunch break I'll drop Daniel to his house and you also be there until I come pick you up" she instructed as she started the bike and slowly went off
"Ook, but when will you come and pick me again" Karim asked as he grabbing onto Esta, and Daniel behind him grabbing onto him.
'... Is he stupid?' she asked herself but didn't say it out loud knowing that Karim will become mad "No, I'll leave you in Daniel's house and I'll fly off" her answer filled with sarcasm
Karim didn't answer that, he looked over his shoulder at Daniel and they began to talk about their other friends and his they will all soon meet when school starts
Every boy in their class was their friends, getting along with everyone was something those two does. They were bestfriends ever since they were small
It didn't take too long before they were infront of the cafe. "Get inside and a table to sit, I'm coming." she spoke while she put both of them down from the bike
"We can order right?" Daniel asked and immediately got his answer, a yes. But Esta did say only to get what they will actually eat and not to just waste her money
It took three five minutes for her to put on her uniform, the same sweater with the camera on the collar
There were already two cups of milkshake on the table where Karim and Daniel was sitting on. She walked over to one of the workers and asked what the two kids had ordered
'Oh, they ordered... let's see' he looked at his notepad and spoke again, 'Two cups of Oreo milkshake and blueberry milkshake. Two waffles each with chocolate on top.'
"Eh... Alright, thank you." she nodded as she walked past him and to Karim and Daniel who were enjoying their milkshakes
Standing behind Daniel, she looked at the menu to see how much they costed because she didn't want to ask the others
She works there, so if she asks she feels as if they'll judge "When you both are done call me ok, I'll be by the corner."
She sighed, at least those milkshake and waffles weren't expensive as she thought it'd be
They nodded in sync, 'Bestfriended so hard those two are syncing...' her face creeped up a smile
Her face lightend a little, thought it wasn't noticable. She turned back around as some few customers entered, it was a family of five.
A mother, a father and just from looking, it seemed like the son of theirs was the eldest followed by another of their son and a daughter
Her face straight as she starred at them for a while, dazed as she watched the family laugh while they decided what they should order
'Two parents, two sons and a daughter' she continued in her head as she looked away and grabbed the two plates of waffles that were already prepared
She moved her feet, her destination was her little brother's and his bestfriend's table which was a table next to the counter
"Eat up."
"Oooo! I haven't eaten waffles in a very long time" Daniel poked the waffles as Karim's eyes shined
"It looks soooooo so so tasty, let's eat"
"... No one is going to steal your food, eat slow" she sighed watching the two devour the waffles
And she couldn't help but peek at the family of five sitting right next to the door from the corner of her eyes
She blinked, stepping back and going to the counter to get some water for herself. Some few cafe workers, waitresses and waiters, walking back and forth from the counter as they handed the customers the things they had ordered
The workers will do their best to get paid, getting good reviews means the owner of the cafe which is the main chief getting happy and paying them a little more for their good job
Tapping her foot on the floor before she got another plate to serve to the customers,
She got a little irritated by watching Daniel and Karim make a mess of their hands and mouth as they ate...
Time passed by fast
Esta had already dropped Daniel and Karim to Daniels house with a gift to his parents and she took got one from Daniels parents for taking care of him
Them, the parents only being home because they got a lunch break as well, just like her.
The parents were, she would say as she entered a nearby bakery
A bakery that was near her cafe. She had always bought breads and buns from there, she always has different bakerys to go to depending on what she needs to buy
And today as well, she went to that bakery for the same reason she always goes there for
Bread.
Esta buying two loafs of bread, and a few pair of just buns. Their house had ran out bread, and also because Karim loves bread
The thought of school starting so soon annoyed Esta, knowing that she still had pending homework as she had forgotten about it... She needs to stay up all night now, just to complete her homework, that math homework she absolutely hated
