"Two caramel latte please with no whip cream!"

"Haaai! Coming right up!"

Turning around at the girl with the blue hair, a brunette yelled,

"ANNA! TWO CARAMEL LATTE WITH NO WHIP CREAM!"

"OKAY!"

Nonoko responded without looking up from her recipes at hand.

"I can help the next person!"

The brunette turned around again and put on her usual cheerful smile.

The day went on. People came in and went away. They bought lattes and coffees and cookies or just water. But it was very busy. By the end of the day, the brunette was extremely worn out and tired.

"Good work today everyone! Thanks Mikan! You must be so tired. There were a lot of customers today!"

Nonoko went around and patted the brunette on the shoulder.

"Oh it was no problem! Hotaru! Are you ready to leave?"

Mikan put back her apron in her locker and sighed. Grabbing her bag off the bench she was just about to leave the room when a group of girls blocked her way.

"What's up guys?"

Mikan asked hesitantly.

"You know…there's that boy that always sits in the corner of the coffee shop?"

"The one with the golden hair!"

"The one that's always reading books about veterinary or animal stuff?"

"The one that always asks for frappacinos? Vanilla ones?"

Mikan took a step back.

"…Yeah? What about him?"

Scratching the back of her head, she looked at the empty water bottle on the table beside the door.

"We think…he likes you!"

Mikan's gaze snapped back at her friends.

"What? What makes you think THAT? We haven't even talked you know…I mean…I want to…but …I…"

"YOU LIKE HIM! WE KNEW IT. NO. I KNEW IT."

A lively, energetic pink haired girl slapped Mikan on the back and started giggling.

"Hey Anna! That's..that's not true! What are you saying? Geez..haha…"

Another girl clasped her hands together and sang dreamily.

"Caan, you feeeeeeel the loooooooooove toniiiiiiiiight?"

Mikan slapped the girl's hands down and blushed.

"SHUT UP SUMIRE. You're so loud."

"Mikan. If you are done being an idiot and giving away the fact that you are totally smitten with that guy, I'd like to leave. My car has been warming up for over 30 seconds. It is unacceptable. It is damaging to my engine. Now get your ass moving."

A raven haired, stoic girl broke the laughter and giggles.

"Yes Hotaru! I'm coming!"

Glad that her friend distracted everyone and gave her a chance to escape, Mikan hurriedly ran out the door. Letting out a breath until she finally buckled up her seat belt.

"I'm so tired! Today was so busy!"

"You like him don't you?"

Ignoring her best friend's statement, Hotaru got right to the point.

"EHH? Well…yeah..I guess I think he's really good looking…I mean…"

"Why don't you go talk to him?"

Mikan shot her friend a look.

"It's hard…the only way for me to talk to him is serving him his frappacino."

Not responding, Hotaru flicked on the left turning signal light. The two friends didn't say very much on the way back to Hotaru's house. Yet when they did arrive, they were greeted very warmly by Mikan's little brother, Youchi.

"MIKAN-NEE CHAN! How was work today?"

Giving him a big smile, she lifted her 6 year old brother into her arms and gave him a little peck on the cheek.

"We were really busy today! But I had fun! How was your day?"

"Pfft, of course she had fun."

Tossing her bag on the couch, Hotaru snickered and walked up the stairs.

"Mikan-nee chan, I made a bridge out of lego today!"

"That's amazing!"

"Yeah! And it didn't fall when the dog walked across it!"

"Wow you're really good!"

Hotaru listened as these two idiotic siblings rambled on and on about lego bridges and dogs as she felt a little pang in her chest. Mikan and Youchi's parents died in a fire while they were away on vacation in the countryside, leaving Mikan and Youchi orphans. The fire was rumored to be set by someone, and that it wasn't a fire struck by lightening. Mikan often swore to herself she will kill whoever set that fire once she finds him/her.

Meanwhile, Mikan stepped out of the shower and put on her pajamas, proceeding then to flop on her bed. She sighed, again.

"It's that obvious huh…"

She raised her hands and looked at the light from the chandelier in her room and then turned onto her right side.

"But I can never really talk to him…"

Unlocking her blackberry, she looked at the picture Sumire sent her. It was the side profile of that boy, sipping his frapaccino and reading the book.

"I don't even know his name…"

Putting her cellphone away, she closed her eyes, and drifted into a deep sleep.

"HEY. WAKE UP. WORK STARTS IN 5 MINUTES MIKAN."

"Hnnnn? But it's Christmas break…let me sleep more…"

"DO YOU KNOW HOW BUSY WE GET AT CHRISTMAS? NO YOU DON'T. NOW GET YOUR ASS OFF YOUR BED AND LET'S GO!"

"What time is it?"

"7:55AM?"

"Oh..that's okay…WAIT WHAT? 7:55? WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME UP?"

Practically flying off her bed, she dashed into her bathroom and rushed like crazy to get ready. But in the end, they were late for work by 3 minutes.

Out of breath, she paused for a minute at her usual cashier place for a moment.

"Um…can I order Miss?"

"Yes…just…a…minute…"

When Mikan looked up, her breath froze in her lungs and her eyes stared unblinking.

It was that boy. The animal reading frappacino drinking blonde haired boy.

"Yees..Y…es…w…what..would…y…you like?"

The boy smiled at her, and before he could ask for his Vanilla frappacino, another figure stepped out from behind.

"What. You can't talk properly?"

Mikan looked past the blonde haired boy's shoulders, and were greeted by a pair of deep crimson eyes.

"Shouldn't you fix your stutter before working as a cashier? Stupid."

Mikan's stare turned into a frown. Whoever this jerk was, she sure don't like him now.

"Well, I'm sorry, sir. But if you'll excuse me, I'll be serving this customer for now. Wait your turn, and then you can talk to me."

Turning back to the blonde haired boy, she smiled brightly.

"What would you like today?"

The animal boy smiled at her, little did he know Mikan's heart was going to leap out at him any moment now.

"A medium vanilla frappacino please."

"Okay! With whipped cream or no?"

"No thanks."

"The total comes to $3.75!"

Giving a thanks and a smile as she received his money, Mikan directed him over to the pick-up counter. Still smiling, she thought that this day was going to be amazing. She talked to him! Her first customer of the day! Smiling again at the next customer, she was just about to ask. But then her smile turned upside down.

"Oh. It's you. What do you want?"

The crimson eyed boy ran a hand through his hair and smirked. Something about that smirk pissed Mikan off a LOT.

"I don't know. What do I want?"

Through gritted teeth, Mikan showed him the menu above her head.

"Ahhh…I'll get a caramel latte."

"Give me 4 bucks."

Tossing her some coins, he smirked again and suddenly leaned so close. Mikan caught a whiff of his delicious smelling cologne.

"Keep the change, strawberries."

Giving him a dirty look, she pondered why he called her strawberries.

….

And this. Is when she realized.

"KYAAAAAAAAAA! YOU PERVERT!"

"I didn't want to look, you didn't bother fixing your skirt. STRAWBERRIES."

Huffing and stomping her feet, Mikan ran a hand over her bright red face. By now, every customer were laughing and giggling.

Oh boy. This is going to be one long day.
