I should not've been surprised to see Kaminari sitting at the table. However, unlike how his mother accompanied him last time, this time his friends from the fair park were with him.

I stared at them blankly as I approached, reaching desperately into my memory to summon their names.

"Hey!" Kaminari's face lit up when he saw me.

Before my mind could jump to self-absorbed ideas, I assured myself that he was most likely just hungry and the sooner I took his order, the sooner he could eat.

"Hi," I waved, keeping my bandaged hand behind my back. The burn was still fresh and hurting even after the ointment had been put on.

"Ohhh, hey (Name), long time no see," Mina, the only person who's name I could recall besides Kaminari's, piped in.

The boy with the spiky hair leaned over to his friend, whispering loudly, "Wait. Are we supposed to remember this fucker?" While I couldn't remember his name, I definitely recalled his temper.

The dark hair boy, who had ben the recipient of the "whisper", elbowed him. It was even more effective considering their odd shape.

For a moment I was stuck. While serving tables, I followed a script seeing as most of my tables didn't know me. However, now that people I'd consider acquaintances sat before me, I wasn't exactly sure how to act.

In the end, I stuck to my normal words, only adding a few exceptions. "Uh, so I'm (Full Name) and I'll be your waitress. Do you guys know what you'd like the drink?" The words felt stupid as they fell off my tongue, but I continued nonetheless.

Thankfully, no further conversation was made as they went around the table listing their drink orders. I jotted it down quickly and sloppily, not 100 percent sure if I'd be able to read my pain induced handwriting later.

When it came to Kaminari, he paused for a moment, eyeing the bandages wrapped around my fist. For a moment I thought he looked guilty. "Water, please," he finally said.

I nodded. "Alright, I'll be back in a second."

After giving my attention to a new table of mine, I returned with all of their drinks. I set them down onto the table one at a time, willing my hands not to shake as I felt all their gazes land on me, some patient, others impatient.
