Chapter 19 - Last Bar 2

Kitty's Department is having an outfield project so Maia went to the University by herself.

*One... Last... Bar...* This thought is stuck in her head as she reads her journal while on an SUV with other passengers. "Hold on! Guess I have new students now!" She whispered to herself as she flips pages of her journal in a great speed. "Students, students, students..." She muttered and stopped flipping after noticing something. "Check the folder on your cloud named..." She squinted her eyes as she took out her phone and seems to follow an instruction from the journal.

...

As Maia closed her journal, students greeted her. "Good morning ma'am!"

"Good morning to you as well!" Maia greeted back as she entered the room. As she stood at the platform and placed her lesson plan together with the pen pouch on top of the teacher's table, she scanned the room and seems as if looking for someone, when her head looked at the right direction of the room her eyes caught the two girls near the window on her right.

"Well hello, Risty and Annie!" She beamed at the two female students.

"Y-yes, ma'am? Y-yeah, good morning too!"

"Y-yes, ma'am? Y-yeah, good morning too!"

The two internally quivered and broke out of sweat as they chorus.

*Goodness! I almost asked them about the attendance sheet!* Maia thought to herself as she smiled at them so blissfully. She looked down on her lesson plan and looked at the she has been fumbling subconsciously and saw that it was the attendance sheet. *Goodness! I really thought that was just an imagination! It's really the attendance sheet!* She screamed inside her head and looked at the class with a smile on her face then she snapped from her awkward situation with a clap. "Okay, class! Shall we begin by introducing yourself since you are all now complete?"

"Yes~~~ Ma'am!" The students respond. Then the class continue.

...

"I'll have these set of meal please." Maia ordered.

"Yes, ma'am. A moment please!" The canteen staff requested and left the counter to get Maia's order.

*So my goal is to survive this day without having a sudden glitch... The goal will be the same for tomorrow and for the day onwards...* She mumbles as she waits for her meal which now arrived.

"That's all for fifty, ma'am!" The canteen staff said as she placed the tray of meal in front of Maia.

Hearing the eating utensils slightly clank, Maia absentmindedly pulled out a bill of fifty from her wallet then made her way to the dining area. *If that happens, I will have to resign from the profession for real!* She muttered.

"Ma'am, your meal!" The canteen staff shouted behind Maia.

That shout wake Maia at least in a half.

"You forgot it!" The canteen staff's concerns. She and the people who queue looked at Maia with weird faces.

*Forgot what?* her face turned weary the"Oh no!~~~" she then rushed back to the counter and took her meals and left to have her lunch. *Enough of it, Maia! You're thinking of avoiding such situation but there you are again!* She nagged herself on her way to the dining area.

...

*How did I even got hit by a car in the first place?* Maia contemplated as she inclined towards a wall as she waits for her coffee being processed by a coffee vending machine inside a mini store near the university after her work. *If that happened last February then-* tilting her head she began to compute but a highschooler suddenly interrupted her.

"Excuse me, miss. Is the coffee yours?" A young man wearing an undone button paired with a flashy red t-shirt on the inside and holding a basketball asked her.

"Oh sorry, is my coffee done?" Maia suddenly stood up from leaning.

"Hm." The boy replied.

"I see, it's your turn now, then." She smiled and took her coffee and walked her way out of the mini store.

"Yo! I want the choco one!"

"Mine is caramel!"

Two highschoolers shouted their order to their friend.

"Yep! One black coffee, one hot chocolate, and one caramel drink!" The boy enumerated out loud as he inserted coins at the coffee vending machine and pressed his orders.

"Sigh... Why can't you listen to me, Maia?"
