This isn’t the problem though, the problem is the wifi just crashed and now you can’t play the video game you were playing. Meaning you’re in a mostly empty cafe with no wifi. The clock chimes. Seven chimes. That means you’ve been here for two hours. Two hours!! ‘When are all the customers showing up?’ You think. Suddenly your phone beeps and you realize the wifi is back up. Your cousin Inuoka Sō just texted you. “Hey!! Are you at work?” You pick up your phone and text him back, “ye.” “Could you give me a ride? Plz?!” You notice he’s using lots of pleading emojis, and who are you to say no to your favorite cousin? You can probably have someone cover the rest of your shift. “Eh, sure -3- To where?” “School.” “Aight, where r u?” “I’m outside the cafe staring at u :D” You look up from your phone and realize he’s been staring at you the entire time, bouncing up and down on his long legs. His light brown hair is bouncing too, and he’s got a derpy smile on his face. You chuckle and grab your jacket and purse from the hook. “Hey [name of coworker]! Can I leave early? My cousin needs a ride to school and I probably won’t have time to drive all the way back!” Your coworker smirks, “Sure, I’ll cover you. Be careful though, that guys a nut!” You laugh, “So he spilt a ton of ice once or twice when he was younger, doesn’t mean he’s crazy.” “I beg to differ.” You shrug and walk out of the cafe. Unlike your cousin you’re responsible and got your car license as soon as you could. Your parents allow you to borrow their car to go to work since both of them usually work from home and you only work at the cafe in the mornings and late afternoons on weekends. You pull the car keys out of her purse and unlock the car, “Get in Sō.” He bows quickly before jumping into the passenger side, “Thanks y/n!! I really owe you one now.” You enter on the drivers side and buckle up, “No thanks necessary. Family helps family, I’m obliged to help you out. Especially if you accidentally slept late —again— and are going to be late for morning practice.” “Ugh… how did you guess?” “You’re predictable, and this isn’t the first time I’ve had to leave early from work for you. You should start setting a really loud alarm clock, that’ll wake you up easily.” “I don’t like alarm clocks though… they’re really annoying.” You sigh and hold back a retort. You’re the responsible third year in this situation, its useless to make an immature comeback. The last thing you want to do is seem immature to someone like Sō. About ten minutes later you arrive at Metropolitan Nekoma High. You quickly park in an empty parking space and hop out of the car. You grab a bag containing your school uniform and gym clothes. “Alright, have fun at practice, I’m going to go and get changed into my uniform. Bye.” You lock the car and Sō bows again. “Thanks cuz! Gomen nasai!” “Stop apologizing and go to practice Sō!” You exclaim, shoving him towards the gym. “You sure you don’t want to come and watch me play?” He asks, allowing you to push him. “Why would I do that? Its just volleyball.” “Just volleyball?!” A voice behind you exclaims with surprise, “I can hardly call the best sport of all time ‘just volleyball’!” You groan inwardly… great. Just. Great.
