It had just been like any other day on the till but you were glad of the break. The high street was busy for a market day but it was the same stalls as you see every week and none of them interested you. Funeral planning, garden ornaments or pies with every kind of meat. You wondered what kind of person would buy all three one after another as you walked into the shopping centre. Grateful of the cool air, the fans did a good job of stopping the heat getting in. Your feet took you to the regular sandwich shop and the familiar smell hit you before the shop was visible. There were a few familiar faces of the employees but most seemed to be taking a break, eating. Standing at the counter for longer than usual, the purple haired girl called to someone out the back. A brown haired boy walked out, looking way too…big to be in that small serving counter. His broad shoulders were contrasted with a kind, nervous face. You tell him the type of bread and he had to look at the pictures, swiping his finger along until he saw the correct one.
"Six inches please."
You smile at him, watching his shaking hands cut the bread. He filled the foot-long sandwich with your order. You didn't have the heart to tell him it was wrong; you were happy to pay. When he was done, he looked so proud of himself it made your heart melt. His name badge said 'Makoto' and it suited him. Taking the sandwich, you eat alone - as usual – but he was on your mind. You could hear him apologising and getting things wrong, and apologising… but he never gave up. Your break would be over soon but you turned to the counter.
"Good luck!"
He seemed to have known it was for him because he spun around in surprise, closing his eyes into the happiest smile you'd ever seen. You may only work Saturdays but you hope that this wouldn't be the last time you see him.
