Rachelle's P.O.V:

Of course I have to work on my birthday. That's just my luck. Couldn't graduate like a normal high schooler because of COVID, and now I'm working on my birthday.

I'm supposed to be swimming in a cute bikini, taking cute pictures, and having a cute 18th birthday, but no. At least the coffee at work is good.

I get to the Coffee Cup (work) like every other day, but something's off. It's too quiet and I don't see my best friend Jared.

I turn the corner to see all my co-workers, including Jared, wearing birthday hats. As they start singing the infamous "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU" I lose it. I'm blushing uncontrollably, completely unable to look at anyone. Once they're done I say "thank you" and we're sent off to actually work.

My shift was almost over when I saw a familiar face walk in. I couldn't quite place it, but I knew I knew him. "Jared! Come here real quick!" He walks over and I ask him who that guy is.

He pauses trying to discretely look "his" way. He looks for a little while and says, "Garrett. Garrett Overboe." It hit me, "yes! Yes, it is! Thank you Jared" I say as he walks away.
