Risk It.

1. work

I woke up to a beautiful sun shinning through my curtain window. I stay in my bed for a while, just admiring how I get to be one of the people to see the sun shine once again. It's just another way to mentally thank the above for giving me another day to live. I stood up from my bed as I walk to the window allowing me to see the view outside, seeing it was a very sunny day. The sight of Los Angeles still takes my breath away.

I move to an apartment with my best-friend Layla, i'm about a year older than her so I treat her as a sister than as a friend. I had move here after I graduated high-school. Layla moved in with me after she finish all her studies to be able to graduate early.

We both lived in Wisconsin when were younger and that's where we met. I've known Layla since elementary so we've known each other for awhile.

I walk out of my room to wake up Layla from her sleep. She is a girl who loves to get a lot of sleep. In car rides she falls asleep, if she has nothing better to do she will fall asleep in just a snap of a finger. Her room is across from mine, as I step out of my door, I could hear her snorin' which I don't mind. I have gotten use to her snorin' from all the sleepover use to have. I open her door to see her chin up, eyes close and mouth wide open. I smile at the image.

I love to prank Layla when she is sleeping, her reactions are priceless. I see a water bottle on her desk near her bed, I just smile at the thousand time I have done this to her. I grab the bottle and slowly poured it in her mouth which happen to be open. Not even 2 second she starts chocking, spitting the water out which made me burst out laughing uncontrollably. She looked shook, as I said it was priceless.

She looks at me, "What the hell Janna?" I just continue laughing at her. Her eyes wide open in shocked. The best thing about pranking Layla is that she never gets angry, she sometimes laughs with me or she goes back to what she was doing.

I calmed myself from laughing, "You have to get up. It's you're first day at the Cafe, you don't want to be late for that." I tell her knowing she likes to sleep in. She rolls her eyes while she groaned and layed back down on her bed. "You have to start earning money and learn to save money. Remember you no longer live with you're mom so things are just not handed to you anymore." her eyes are close. she rolled to her side with her back facing me.

"Okay mom." she mumbles, I could she her roll her eyes with her eyelids close. I grabbed her by the arm and dragged her till she was on the floor. A loud bang echoed in the room as her back hits the floor falling from the bed. I laugh as her face scrunch together in hurt.

....

After taking a shower I got ready for work, which was as well at the Cafe. I was the one to suggest Layla working there since I worked there, and I was close to the boss. Gladys was nice enough to let Layla work there with me. She is such a lovely lady to have as a boss and someone to work with.

I was wearing jeans with a nice top while Layla wore shorts with a t-shirt. We like to shared clothes all the time so it was no big deal to us if the other is wearing the others ones clothes.

"Are you ready? We have to get going soon so we have time to prepare the place." I tell her as we finish our coffee. I stood up from the table to grab my bag. We walk out to head to the Cafe, it was only about 3 blocks away from our apartment so there was no need to drive my car all the way there, when you can enjoy the busy street with many people walking around, getting them selfs' to places they needed to be at.

Minutes later we finally come close to the entrance of the Cafe. As I open the door I could already see Theo behind the cash register getting things in place. I give him a warm smile as he send one back to me. He is such a polite guy, i've worked with him since I started working here. He started working at the Cafe about a month before I did so we were both new at this job. We got along pretty quick, I could call him my friend. We hung out many times before, he comes to my apartment and we would watch movies and go out to eat. He as well is friends with Layla, but they joke around more to each other.

When we come close to Theo I greet him. "Good Morning." Layla and I say in unison.  We made our way in the back to put our stuff away.

I walk back to the front. "Good Morning you two." he said while walking his way to the door to flip the sign and let people know the Cafe is open. It was 6 am on the dot and we've already got costumers coming in.

Layla has live with me for the past 6 months, she had a different job but her boss what such an... what do call the that..  Ass, he was an asshole. So now Layla works here with me. She comes to this place a lot when she was done with work and have nothing else better to do so she knows pretty much how this Cafe works, there was no need for the 'New Employee Training.'

We've got about 7 costumers in just 5 mins. This place is wasn't as busy because there are about millions of coffee shop around LA. It wasn't a full house but enough to keep the business running.

Layla and I put on our apron and are ready to take orders. We approach tables taking peoples orders and making them.
