Before the break, Sora used to go to work at the cafe after school. So now that spring break ended, Sora was going back to that routine. He had to pay for his apartment somehow. After school, he said his farewells to Jaxx and made his way to work. He carried this blue backpack with him. It carried his belongings for school and the outside world in general. Including Chapstick, an Umbrella, and Bug-spray. Why did he have bug spray? Well in Sora's words, "You never know when you'll see a big cockroach in your cup of coffee." When Sora walked in the little bell above the door jingled. The people working quickly left as soon as he came in. "Am I late?" He asked. An older man, in his mid-20s, responded. "10 minutes late, we were stuck handling customers." He said frustrated. He then muttered under his breath, "this is why we shouldn't let high school kids work here." He walked out. Sora rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever. You try walking 5 minutes to school and 5 minutes to work." Sora said out loud. He began to work behind the counter. Customers began to come in, asking for cups of tea and coffee and staring at the cookies and donuts on the shelves. His co-worker, Levi was baking them. Levi made, Sora served. They weren't too fond of each other, but they made a great team. Sora and Levi usually made the manager proud. While Levi is serious and quiet, Sora is funny and loud. He always cheered up the tired customers, especially the lonely ones that sat on the tables miserable and alone. Once it was 9:00 pm, it was time to close. During weekdays, Sora and Levi closed the cafe at night. Sora hated it because once he made it outside he made it was already so dark outside. But, once again, today was different. Even though it was raining today, walking home, the darkness didn't affect his mood at all. The only thing he thought about was Jaxx. Jaxx made him feel safe for some reason, even if he wasn't in Sora's presence. Sora knew what this meant, but he didn't mind. As he skipped home, holding his umbrella, he noticed someone outside of the apartment complex. They were standing in the rain. They looked soaked. Sora walked toward them to get a closer look.
