You were new to Alma Torran. It was a beautiful country. All you wanted to do was explore it. But sadly you had no money.
You were in school at the time and dozed off thinking about exploring the world. It was your last class, and who knew, you slept through all of it.
"Class, you're dismissed." The teacher yelled slamming his book on the table shooting you awake. You were still sleepy at the fact, but you had a job to get to, a maid job. You worked at a maid cafe. It was part-time.
It was pretty embarrassing, but you had to do it to raise money, and you liked it. The frills on the maid outfit, the little bow, the apron you had to wear around your waist, the big puffy sleeves, the stocking just below your knees, and the cute shoes that go with it.

"I have to catch the two-thirty bus to make it there at two-fifty, Ten minutes before I have to start my shift." I mumbled while walking out of the class, "I should be home at six. I still will be able to do my homework and have a good night rest, even though I still sleep in class."
"Hey (name), do you want to tag along with us? We're going to the arcade." I heard my dear friend yell. It was Sheba.
"Sorry, Sheba. I have to work." I said, disappointed. She gave me a big frown.
"You know if you need any help with money. I could get Falan and myself to work with you and had you our paychecks." she insisted. Sheba is a really big help when it comes to helping me with my problems and stuff, but I don't want to bring her into this.
"No Sheba, I got it under control. I'll be fine. Now go have fun. I'll see you tomorrow." I said waving goodbye and walked to my locker.
"Okay, bye (name)," she said and left.
[Just Before - Solomon]
"Hey Solomon~, are you doing anything after school. If not maybe we could get to the arcade." Sheba asked me, getting all jumpy.
"Arcade... is (name) going," I asked.
"Well, I didn't ask her, but I and the other are. Should I ask her to tag along," she said.
'Well of course!' I thought. I didn't want to look like I was desperate for (name) to come. So I controlled myself a bit.
"If it's meant to be done. Then okay." I approved.
"Alright Solomon," she said and left.
It's been ten minutes since Sheba had left to go ask her. 'What's taking so long. How long does it take to ask someone something.' I thought, getting annoyed a bit. Then I saw her walking down the hall towards me.
"H-hey Solomon," she said, a bit uneasy.
[Sheba]
What do I do, (name) said she can't come and Solomon looks like he really wants her to come. I want to hang out with him but he only seems to care about (name). Should I lie and say she's going to come, or should I say the truth and say she isn't.
[Option 1: Lie]
"(Name) said she's gonna meet us there. So should we get going." I got a little more uneasy. I'm lying to the one I love.
"Isn't she working today. I don't think you're telling the truth, Sheba," he said a bit disappointed in me. Oh no.
"Sorry." I apologized.
"You should be for lying." he got angry.
[Option 1: Failed]
[Option 2: Truth]
"The truth is, (name) said she has to work today. Sorry I couldn't get her to come." I said looking down.
"Oh, alright then," he said.
[Option 2: Success]
"I guess I won't be going then," he said rubbing the back of his head.
"What why. Please Solomon, why won't you hang out with us instead of (name), were your friends too." I said getting all offensive that he only wants to hang with her.
"No reason really. It's just fun when we're around each other," he answered.
"I could make things fun." I insisted.
"Sorry, I just don't feel like going now," he said walking off.
I fell to my knees. Rejected again. 'I wish I was more like (name). She knows how to give him what he wants. Wait, she's working today. Maybe I could get the other to go to her work instead. Solomon would go because she's there.' I thought, having a huge grin on my face.
"Solomon wait!" I called. He turned and I was standing right in front of him.
[Solomon]
"Solomon wait!" Sheba called. What does she want now? I already told her I don't want to go. She's persistent.
"What now Sheba," I asked getting a little annoyed.
"Well, since you don't want to go to the arcade. I was wondering if all of us could go to where (name) works," she recommended. Where (name) works, where does she work, she never told me.
"Where does she work?" I asked.
"She works at a maid cafe called [Maid Cafe Name]. It's not too far from here when you take the bus. It's only ten minutes." she answered.
'A maid cafe. I get to see her in a cute and frilly dress. She can call me master and so on-... What he hell am I thinking!?' I said grabbing my head. Sheba looked confused and started to laugh a little.
"I guess that's a yes." she giggled.
. . .
It's been ten minutes since the bus arrived. I, Sheba, Falan, Wahid, Setta, Ithnan and Ugo hopped in and made our way to the cafe. I was getting really nervous. 'What would she think when we get', 'Will she think I'm that type of guy', 'Should I leave'.
"Oh we're here," Falan announced. I can't turn back now. We got out of the bus and walked inside the maid cafe. Today was masquerade themed. All the employee's were wearing masks.
"Welcome to [Maid Cafe Name]." It was a [Small/Medium/Tall] girl like (name), "Table for... seven. Right this way." she led us to our table. It was near a window, I sat next to it and looked outside, Sheba sat next to me. Many cars and people passed by, it was also beautiful outside, warm weather, clouds spread across the sky. I faced towards the cafe and noticed how much people were inside. I even scooped out to see if I could locate (name), no luck.
"Solomon, Hey Solomon," Wahid called.
"Hm, what is it," I asked.
"It's time to order, the maid been waiting for almost five minutes," he answered.
"Oh, sorry. Can I have a glass of wa-" Sheba interrupted.
"He'll have what I'm having. Thank you." Sheba said and the maid left.
"Hey Sheba, the maid looked, like, kind of looked annoyed with you, aru," Falan said. Sheba started to sweat a little.
"She did. Oh well. I didn't notice." Sheba said kind of nervous.
"Do you know her? Maybe she goes to our school and has a crush on Solomon. She jealous that you're sitting with him." Setta laughed.
"Really, maybe. Setta switch seats with me." she sot up and switched seating with Setta, "Now well see if she still annoyed with me. Here she comes with our food."
"Here you go... Sheba was it. Can you follow me please." the maid asked still annoyed.
"Oh, okay." Sheba got out of her seat and followed.

Sheba was taken by the maid and was brought into the employee room. She later finds out (name) was waiting for her in there.
[Reader]
"Sheba what are you doing here. Aren't you guys suppose to be at the arcade." I quietly yelled. Why did she bring the others? I going to be laughed at in the group now, mostly by Solomon.
"Well, Solomon didn't want to go to the arcade because you weren't going. So I decided we should all come here instead." She said rubbing the back of her head.
''Okay, but you all have to leave once," I demanded.
"But." she pleaded.
"No buts, go." I send her out and she went to get everyone to leave. Except for Solomon he stayed. I grabbed my phone and text him to leave.
[Name] [Solomon]
Solomon! Why are you still here? I got Sheba to make everyone leave.
I didn't want to leave so I stayed. By the way, can I get some water?
No, you have to leave.
I want some water.
Fine.
I got out of the employee room and brought him some water. He stared at me if I did something wrong.
"What?" I asked.
"You look cute," he said.
"T-thanks. Now here's your water. Drink it quickly and leave." I demanded.
"Okay, but when does your shift end," he asked.
"Six, why?"
"I wanted to see if you're free to go to the arcade later. I could win you lots of prizes." he smiled.
"Okay, whatever drink your water and go." I quietly shouted. He drank his water and paid and left. But before that, he gave me a tender kiss on the cheeks and said "then it's a date. See you later."
