As always, Kana had woken up bright and early. Having finished packing her bag, and making lunch for herself and Shiro, in addition to getting him ready for school. They began the walk to Shiro's school, her little brother always staying a few steps ahead of her, skipping as he went along the sidewalk. Before they had even reached the school gates, Shiro spotted some of his friends, he quickly hugged her, saying a quick goodbye before running off to see his friends.
Turning around to head towards her own school, Kana smiled. Shiro was the only person who she really cared about. Her grandmother played a minor role in their lives, but for the most part, it was the two of them against the world. Over the break it had just been the two of them, taking him out to the park before work, and watching movies together afterwards.
Today marked the end of that though. The new term was starting, and Kana's days would be spent with the hooligans that called themselves men at Seika High. Of course she had a few friends there, the few girls that attended the school stuck together like glue for the most part. Considering there were barely any girls attending the school, it wasn't that hard. The school had only switched to co-ed a few years back, and the boys still took up almost the entire population.
She did her best to avoid talking to the boys, limiting her interactions with them to the absolute minimum. When she did though, it was rarely ever good. The student council members were slightly better, but only by a bit. It had taken less than a day for the council to become what could only be described as organized chaos. she, and her co-president Sora,were the only thing keeping the student council from complete madness. Although, a fair bit of the chaos was caused by their constant clashing. On the rare occasion they worked together they were an amazing team. More often than not, they wound up fighting about just about anything.
After what seemed like a year, the last bell finally rung. Gathering her things, Kana began to walk to her part time job. It was one of the few things she and Sora had in common, a job at a maid cafe. Neither of them dared to say it, but there was an unspoken law between them that neither of them would tell a soul. The only people she had told where it was that she worked, was Shiro, and the mother of one of his friends who walked him home from school, and she intended to keep it that way.
Although the work was embarrassing, it was easy, and paid well. Most of the employees were nice too, so it was fairly enjoyable. Arriving at the cafe, creatively named 'Maid Latte', Kana slipped in through the back door. The last thing she needed was to be seen walking into a maid cafe. Her uniform was just as she had left it the day before. It only took a minute to put on, she had done it hundreds of times now. Noticing that the evening rush was starting, Kana stepped out into the main room, greeting the first customer she saw.
"Welcome home master. How are you?"
