chapter 1 - I wake up like it’s an ordinary morning. The taste of the salty sea blows onto my face as I open the window for fresh air. ‘another weekend’ I say in my mind. Getting ready for my job at the tea shop. I love that place . When the people come in ordering the flavoured cups of tea. Pineapple Mango. My favourite one. My dad’s gone. He has to go to Whinhill for work. I still miss him I do. But mum says it’s for good, so he has too. I walk off to the tea shop. My mind is full off thoughts. Many thoughts. I’m at the tea shop. I head in opening the door as the bell rings. I head into the staff room, grab my apron and head out to catch some orders. “Hello madam, what would you like to order?” I ask a lady. “Let’s see, how about Pineapple Mango?” She replies. “Good choice! That’s my favourite.” I tell her. She gives me a warm smile. I smile back. It feels great to cheer up customers, especially ones that have a dark mood. The bell rings again. A group off boys come in. One of them is cute. Really cute, but I’ve never seen him around. I blush, while heading to the counter telling Hannah the order. He stares at me. I try to ignore him. But I can’t. Until Hannah pushes me to take their orders. “H-hello, may i-i take your order?” I ask nervously. The boy replies, “Yes, could I have the Pineapple Mango?” “Uh, yes.” I nervously say. I hurriedly rush back to the counter telling Hannah there order. ‘omg!’ I say inside my head. “Hey, Tia. Do you need a break?” Hannah asks. “No, I’m okay!” I reply. “Come on! Why don’t you go home?” Hannah says. She pushes me out the door and snatches the apron off while she gives me my payment. I go home. Walk up to my room. Falling onto my bed, and mumbling to myself out loud.
