Cup o' Sugar

The cafe was off campus but after a short shuttle ride you were standing in front of the small brick building. You walked inside holding the flyer that told you to ask for Melanie. There wasn't anyone who looked like a Melanie at the counter but there was a thin platinum haired boy with very gentle features on his phone.

"Hey," you said as he looked you up and down and put his phone away.

"Hey yourself," he said with a smile, "what can I do for you?"

"I'm looking for Melanie about a job," you said.

"Mel," he yelled, "we got one."

Melanie came out looking rather exhausted.

"You're hired," she said with a weak smile, "I'm like half serious, are you 18?

"Yes ma'am," you said.

"Eww, no," she said, "my mother is ma'am, just Melanie or Mel."

"Well if you're serious," you said, "I'd like the job Melanie."

"Great," she said with a smile, "AJ, get him an apron and show him around."

AJ managed to find an apron long enough for you and began to show you all of the machines.

"So," he said leaning against the counter, "you from the university?"

"Yeah," you said, "you?"

He nodded, "sophomore, you're clearly a freshman. I'm studying psychology."

"Biology," you offered as the door opened, rather than a student it was the young girl who had given you the flyer.

"You came," she said with a smile, "I'm Anya," she extended her hand which you shook.

"John," you said.
