NATASHA EQUINOX COLDWELL's POV
"Hello what's up, it's Kyn! Welcome to my vlog! A day in CU! This is my best friend Nyx!"
Kynthia approached me and forced me to wave at her phone. It has already been a week since I became friends with these guys. I decided to go with the flow and see what will happen. I realized that it's not so bad to have friends again. Somehow, I have someone to worry about and to rely on. I have a reason to wake up. That's when I realized that my life was boring.
Mom was right. I can move on.
"Here we are again crowded all the way. O.M.G I forgot to do skincare this morning, I look pale!" She pulled me into the elevator. "Hey, guys! Say hello to the vlog!"
"Hi, Miss Kyn!"
"Hello! We're biggest fans!"
"I also forgot to do skincare! We're meant to be!"
I'm still not used to having a famous friend. Kyn is good at approaching other people so she has a lot of friends. She is also famous abroad because she once became a model to other designer brands. I really can't help but be impressed because she is really good. She deserves it.
We're currently going to the cafeteria to eat snacks. Clyzyll asked us to eat again together after a long time. Coincidentally, I only have 4 subjects today so I don't have any classes today. Others have a meeting later and I have work later at the coffee shop.
"Q and A! How many plates do Architecture students make per semester?"
"Well, Clyzyll's dark circles say it all." We laughed at Zhyan's answer.
"Zyll," I called when I saw her staring at her food for too long. I've always preferred being quiet. I can't read people's minds so I have to be careful at all times. What if this person was having problems? What if this person has issues in their family? Or what if a relative died? It would be awkward and it will cause more problems for them.
"H-Huh?" Clyzyll obviously looked preoccupied with something else. "Who called me? You, Kyn?"
After that, we all stayed quiet and changed the topic. I continued eating while listening to their conversations. When I'm with them, my heart feels at ease.

["By the way, Zhyan will be driving you home. It's dangerous and you didn't even bring your car! Nyx! Let's eat at Harriet Hills Academy's cafeteria tomorrow! I'll have a photoshoot nearby there."]
I answered 'okay' nonchalantly before ending the call and placing my phone inside my locker. I shook my head and stifled a smile. I know she doesn't have a photoshoot there. Basically, she wants to meet someone.
I closed my locker and frowned at the sight of my uniform. Beige polo shirt and a dark brown apron on top of it. I tied my long hair before coming out to work.
Lofi music immediately blared across the shop.
Cyzeus went home immediately because he said he will stay with Clyzyll. He told me to close the shop before going home. I have no classes tomorrow that's why I accepted his offer.
My shift was almost over and I got bored. Somehow I love watching the details of what people do. I watched how people little by little went outside the coffee shop, how the people yawn and wake up, how they flip the pages of their books while studying. I've been doing this ever since I worked here. I guess this is another kind of freedom.
I waited for the closing hour and continued to look around. I just stopped when I saw a familiar guy struggling to drink. My lips parted when I realized that he was the guy I saw in front of the condominium. I snapped my fingers. River!
I didn't plan to approach him but he really looked like he's about to get pissed off. He might drop his cup because of an injury to his right shoulder. "H-hey," I called out to get his attention. This was very embarrassing but I didn't know what to do. I took his mug and forcefully made him drink from it! He looked at me with a confused look on his face.
I didn't want to seem rude or pushy. But how will I fit in this messed-up society? It's hard to become human.
God answered my prayers that this guy won't throw up. He wiped his mouth with tissues provided by our shop with his brows furrowed at me. "W-what the heck?"
"You're injured. You might break your cup, you will have to pay for it." Gosh, I saved him for the second time. "I'll wrap bandages to you again, are you okay with it?"
He looked at me first before answering. "S-sure. I won't mind." He scoffed sarcastically. What's with the attitude of this guy?
I guess I'll be saving him for the third time.
