I'm walking briskly through the empty alley that leads to the cafe in a rush since I have to meet Calix, thought he's very patient. I push the cafe door with an "OPEN" sign on it. I'm met with a gentle breeze and a cozy environment with a warm light as well as potted plants on every corner. My eyes sweep the cafe to spot Calix somewhere in the midst of tables, steady footsteps carry me to the table occupied by him. I encounter a beautiful face with short blond hair and striking blue eyes. Calix is super handsome, but in my eyss he is an annoying brother.
"Hey" I greet Calix
"Hello" He replies politely
"So, did you other without me?" I ask while plopping down on the comfy cotton chair.
"Yeah, it was getting tiring waiting for you" He remarked
"Hehe" I laugh awkwardly
"Actually, I got you lasagna" He sighs
"Really? Yay! You're the best Calix" I gratefully exclaim with a huge smile.
"I know" He snarkily remarks
"Confident are w-" I tell him before getting cut off by the small TV in front of me.
"Dear citizens, according to recent cases there appears to be a major serial killer on the loose. We recommend you to lock doors at night and carry protective gear to stay safe. Make sure to report to the police if you notice anything suspicious. That's it for the announcement. Now let's get back to the predicted floods I was explaining..."
The TV volume then decreases, looks like they increased the volume only for the announcement.
"That's quite scary isn't it?" I commented
"Yes, I hope we all stay safe" He tell me while sipping his coffee.
" let's stop worrying about this, its probably just a light warning. Anyway, you look tired Iris, are you getting enough sleep?"
"Oh, it's because I have a group project"
Normally I would wake up with my long hair in a tangle and my black eyes full of energy. But lately I often wake up to dark circles and droopy eyes.
"Oof sounds bad"
"It is bad. Now let's stop talking about torture, how's psychology going?"
"Psychology is torture. It's exhausting."
"We have so many assignments and tasks which are honestly killing everyone."
Calix is a very hard working person, he strives to be the top and doesn't take a grade below "A". He majors in psychology and is obsessed with news related to killers, this is why I was surprised when he quickly brushed off the new announcement. We carried on talking about college, financial issues, jobs, and so on.
"Bye! See you later!" I wave goodbye.
"Bye" He replies, waving back.
