It's finally spring break. I thought. Chun-chun is probably back in Tokyo, spending her school life without any worries– why am I even thinking about her? "Shishio-sensei~ have you really decided to stop teaching~?" One of the female teachers asked. "Yes I have. I decided to try new things." I smiled at her. "Eh~ If you ever want to come back, don't hesitate to contact me okay~" she waved.
From this day on, I will be working at a cafe in Okinawa. I thought that I needed a break from city life so I decided to work at a rather peaceful place. I also needed to calm my mind from Chun-chun.. and that brat.
As I packed my things from my work table, I heard hurried footsteps outside the office. "Aomori-sensei!" a familiar voice called. "Here's the class report for this week." It was Nekota-san. I tried hard not to make eye contact and continued packing my stuff, but she saw me anyway. "Ahh, it's the heartbreaker." her tone was cold and sassy as before. "Long time n– wait. Why are you packing?" she asked. I figured it would be too rude to ignore her so I answered. "It's my last day here today, Nekota-san."
"Eh? Sensei's quitting?" I asked, while drinking hot chocolate. "Yeah, he just told me last weekend." Uncle answered. "I see.." I might've acted too ignorant at that time. But.. deep down I kinda felt relieved. But I don't know why. Was it because he hurt me once? But I do know that I didn't really care anymore. I continued drinking my hot chocolate. Uncle makes the best hot choco ever..
It's my first day in Okinawa. I'm supposed to meet the owner of the cafe, who goes by the name Nakashima Kenji, for an interview. The cafe was called Freeze. It's kinda weird for a cafe to be called Freeze.. it's kinda cool though. "Excuse me," I said as I entered the cafe. The whole room was empty. I carefully entered, making sure not to mess up the furniture placed. As I took a good look, the cafe seems to have a really cozy atmosphere to it.
Kinda makes you want to fall asleep.
I took a seat on one of the couches and proceeded to call Nakashima-san. Before I could press the call button, someone patted my shoulder. "Who told you to enter without my permission..?" The person sat down across me. I presumed it was Nakashima-san."Um, are you the owner of this cafe?" "Yes. What business do you have with me?" his tone was kind of suspicious. He doesn't seem to look like the owner... "Ah, might you be that new worker; Satsuki-kun?" "Y-Yes I am. Um, I–" "Welcome to Freeze, Satsuki-kun. From today onwards you shall be working on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays."
"What about the interview?" I asked, confused of the situation. "We have a lack of workers so you don't have to worry about it. Please come to work tomorrow. See you soon." With that he left. Nakashima-san seems like the mysterious type.. I thought. I stood up and stretched my arms, and smiled.
Here's a new beginning!
Okay so this chapter was long. Sorry for the late update I just moved to a new school so I have trouble adjusting and I didn't have time. Now that spring break's here, I decided to write up a quick story! And yes, if you're reading Summer Romance, I'll probably update it tomorrow or next Monday. See you guys soon, and hope you enjoyed this one!
