Professor F
Chapter 6: Fingers Crossed
With the help of keeping her fingers crossed, August managed to avoid her hot neighbor. And that includes skipping her cup of coffee out in the balcony!
It's a waste not being able to enjoy that cup of coffee every morning but she's glad she found an alternative by running in the university grounds, enjoying the morning breeze.
She spent the past week walking around, visiting bookstores and thrift shops before starting her part time job at the coffee shop.
Just the other afternoon, she went to the University & Brew to get her apron and tag. Despite her saying it's okay, Henry had her name tag changed to August.
She felt bad when he mentioned the red velvet cake slice that she forgot and he wrapped for her last Monday. She couldn't count the times she apologized to him when she was at the coffee shop and he just laughed at her, assuring her that it's okay.
She left after he insisted to take another slice of cake from the shop. "Perks of working here." He winked.
She looked at her wall clock and it's almost seven. Her stomach rumbled in hunger. She's too lazy to cook dinner so she grabbed her purse and her hoodie.
She walked just a block from the apartment and bought herself a Chinese take out. She walked back to her apartment and she waited in line to the elevators. She busied herself, checking her social media not minding the people around her when a group of girls who were busy chatting lined up behind her, waiting for the elevators as well.
