Prologue
To have a 7-hour break was something that every student would enjoy. It was such a long break where they were free to do whatever they want.
That was what most people think.
What people didn’t know was that once they experienced it, they would come to realize that it was something that every student would hate to the core. Especiall for those who doesn’t live in a dorm or anywhere near their university.
It was the same for the 20-year-old Meahri Lyfheld.
She was the girl who declined the offer of her uncle to stay in a dorm. She knew that her dad left some money for her but she was also sure that there’s nothing left after all those years.
Meahri being Meahri, as soon as possible, she didn’t want to be a burden to her uncle or to anyone else.
Now that she has a 7-hour break, she realized how much she regretted her decision to decline the offer.
She was just a normal student but little did she know everything in her life was about to change.
I don’t understand what the hell was running inside our dean’s head to come up with a stupid schedule? She sighed as she fell on the couch as if she carried the world on her back.
It was the first day of her sophomore year and she’s confident to say that it was also the worst first day of school she ever had since she became a student.
She didn’t know what to do with her stupid long break so she decided to stay at her favorite coffee shop, Cafégroundz.
She loved the café especially the fact that not a lot of students from her university visit the place. She wasn’t a loner nor was she involve in any scandals that she had to avoid people from the university. She just wasn’t comfortable to see her classmates outside the university.
Cafégroundz was located a few blocks away from her university. Some may think it was weird since it would take you a 20-minute walk to get there but for Meahri, she didn’t mind at all. She actually loved it. She was one of those people who feel happy simply by walking.
There are more than 5 coffee shops near their university. Who would be stupid enough to go to a café 20 minutes away instead of a café 5 minutes away from their university?
Meahri was but she’s not stupid. She’s smart in her own way. End of discussion.
She knew that whether you’re a good student or not, you’d always choose to go somewhere near rather than far from your university to spend your break, unless you plan to do something else. She preferred Cafégroundz because she felt in peace whenever she’s there.
She sat at her usual place, the couch at the most end of the café. She was still in the middle of catching her breath when she heard someone speak. She didn’t have to look to know who it was.
The voice was so familiar to her that she had to smile as she looked at the owner of the voice who smiled at her asking for her order.
“Hey Max. Just my usual order.” She said as she took her laptop and phone from her white MCM Stark backpack.
“How many extra caramel?” Max sounded his usual cool self.
Max was a guy in his mid twenties. Maybe 3 to 4 years older than her. He was young and successful considering he already owned a café in such an early age. She shouldn’t have known about it but she did when they had a chat once during her freshman year.
It was already past 10 in the evening but she was so focused on her project that she didn’t realize the time. She was working on a report for her finals for the next day.
Max went to her and asked what she was doing. It should’ve been rude but the way he approached her didn’t show even a bit of rudeness at all. He was simply being nice and he looked like he really was concern about her.
She told him what she was doing and the guy was nice enough to tell her that he’d wait for her to finish the report before closing the shop. Since then, whenever Max wasn’t too busy, they always end up having a chat every time she visited the café.
