for   some   reason,   the   warm   weather   was   bringing   everybody   out   of   their   homes   and   into   the   diner.   nik   had   been   through   busy   shifts   before,   but   this   was   a   little   past   the   storms   she   was   used   to.   coming   from   a   small   town   herself,   she   knew   what   it   was   like   to   only   have   one   or   two   really   good   places   to   go   for   breakfast,   lunch,   and   dinner,   but   everybody   and   their   mother   seemed   to   have   had   the   exact   same   idea   at   the   exact   same   time. 

                    smash!   a   plate   full   of   hot   scrambled   eggs   and   hashbrowns   crashed   onto   the   diner's   checkered   floor.   a   deer   in   headlights   -   she   looked   as   if   she   might   cry   at   any   second.   ❛   i   am   so,   so   sorry   about   that,   ❜   she   managed   to   squeak   out,   quickly   grabbing   a   broom   and   dustpan   from   behind   the   counter.   ❛   i   can   have   the   chef   make   you   another   plate   right   away,   but   it'll   be   a   few   minutes.   i'll   take   it   off   your   bill,   don't   worry!   ❜   she   promised.

she  wasn't  surprised  it  took  a  while  but  seeing  nyoka  arrive  with  a  plate  in  hand,  a  bright  smile  appeared  on  her  face.  until  she  watched  it  fall  to  the  ground.  her  instantly  turned  to  concern  as  she  wanted  to  help  out  too.  “no,  no.  it's  okay,"  she  waved  her  hand  dismissively.  “are  you  okay?  do  you  need  any  help?”  her  lips  pursed  momentarily  before  continuing,  “you  can  take  your  time,  i  promise.”  whether  the  food  was  going  to  be  billed  or  not,  vanessa  already  planned  to  leave  a  nice  tip  in  return.

A small pop came from the karaoke machine. No matter what Josh plug into the back, the noise that came from it was either static or loud gurling noises. The pop was new. And that was probably a bad thing. He took a step back and examined the contraption. His eyes traveled down the clear plastic that exposed its mechanical innerworkings. Two hours before karaoke night; only two hours to make this work.

Josh felt his cheeks tingle and heat swell underneath his ribcage. His heart pounded. As he brought his hands up to his mouth, Josh stifled his mutterings. "It's fine. All of this is fine."

august stared at the concoction on the counter in front of him. his name had been called but this. . . certainly wasn't his order. he glanced around at the few other patrons, no one making a move to grab the cup. if he knew the contents, maybe it wouldn't be as big a deal, but this was a mystery.

at  the  rate  she  was  going,  of  making  mistakes  on  the  job,  co-workers  whispered  how  she  had  a  feeling  she  was  going  to  get  fired  sooner  than  later.  plus,  they  assumed  she  kept  messing  up  orders  just  to  get  a  free  drink.  whether  it  was  true  or  not,  she  hasn't  ever  confirmed  it.  “sorry  about  that,”  she  muttered.  “let  me  put  this  to  the  side  and  make  you  a  new  one.”
