Drip Drip Drop
The trickling of raindrops poured down the window of the shop. The afternoon rain matched the relaxing music that was playing inside the coffee shop. It was a small coffee shop that served mediocre drinks and treats but, it was cheap and nearby the apartments I lived in.
I was currently one of the five people who were in the shop at moment as far as I can tell. There was a group of three joking around and hanging out. One was a girl with brunette hair she was sitting between her two other friends. Both were guys, one was staring at her and the other one was making jokes and laughing with her. I took note that the trio often likes hanging at this shop too as I sometimes see them more than once a week.
"Pfft, probably in a love triangle or something," I mumbled to myself looking away. I couldn't help but observe other people it was a habit of mine.
At the counter was an Asian boy with dark brunette hair and matching eyes, he was the barista at this establishment. Mark I believe was his name? I was a regular at this shop usually visiting 2 to 3 times a week to get some coffee and study or just get away from my roommates for a bit or just to relax get away from reality and daydream.
Cleaning at the table next to me was a girl with blonde hair tied up in a ponytail. She was another worker here too but, wasn't usually a cashier and usually just cleaned or make the drinks. I don't know much about here as I assumed she just started working recently judging that I haven't seen her for more than a month.
I looked away from the people and my eyes darted at the window. I watched the droplets of water roll down against the window beside me. I usually spent my weekdays like this just sitting around and observing.
I turned towards the black framed clock that hung on the wooden wall next to a few plants that were on a self and some books next to it too.
5:33 I read, it's now usually the time I would leave and go back to my apartment. Although the building was near the rain started pouring and all I had on was a white sweater and a gray shirt underneath along with a pair of black jeans.
A silent sigh escaped my lips as I started to get up. Suddenly, one of the workers, Mark handed me an umbrella. I was taken aback for a bit before thanking him and bitting him a farewell then left.
On the way, the entire time I was wondering about Mark and the umbrella thing. Although I came to the conclusion that it was just a nice gesture as from I have observed that he was just generally a nice person overall.
Once I reached my apartment I took off my shoes placing them to the side putting the umbrella aside too.
"Evan! Welcome back!" My roommate, Angie greeted me on the couch. Angie had dyed cyan blue hair her dark hair roots showing a bit. She had brown eyes and was maybe a bit on the chubby side due to her habit of surviving off of sugar and pizza although she did exercise 5 days a week. She was watching Netflix on the TV with a bowl of popcorn and chips right next to her. She had a bright personality and was fun to hang out with but, can be annoying at times.
I told her a small hello before grabbing some leftovers from the fridge then went inside my room. I laid down on my bed the plate of leftovers laid on top of my desk. I stared at the white ceiling that hanged above me. Growing hungry I grabbed my leftovers and started eating at my desk putting on some anime to pass the time.
