After a long day of class I got on my bike and rushed over to two 100¥ shops to grab some Halloween decorations for the Halloween party at my house tomorrow.
Unfortunately there wasn't much left for sale. It’s going to be a sad party.
Christmas goods have been being sold since last last week.
So I headed over to the train-bus-station-mall place that I'm quite fond of and ordered a green tea latte and two chocolate croissants at one of my favorite coffee shops.
Rather than sitting down on a comfy chair in the nicely decorated shop (which was not crowded at all)
I went outside to sit in the public space with normal chairs and tables lol. There was no one else there at the time.
While a sat with my latte and sweets, a young boy perhaps around 9 drinking a small "Yakult" yogurt drink passed by for a moment looking at me.
He gave me a curious look and left shortly after, leaving me to my solitary peace once again.
I sat for a while and a well dress woman probably around her 30s sat down in the table beside me and fixed her heels (which did look quite uncomfortable).
I ate one of my chocolate croissants, it was still warm and oh so delicious.
That young boy then came back, giving me that look again.
He finished his tiny drink and sat in the table beside me, glancing towards me now and then, pretending not to notice when I looked back.
Perhaps I was like him back in the day.
I felt old, drinking the latte from the fancy cafe.
He just drank his tiny yogurt drink (which in no worse than what I was drinking, those things are awesome!)
But yeah, I felt old.
We, us three, sat down minding our own business.
The kid sitting down, humming some tunes of some sort.
The woman sitting now talking with one of her friends on the phone.
And me just sitting, eating that last croissant, and sipping that latte (which wasn't all that good to be honest lol).
A few minutes passed, and the woman left her seat and ran over to meet her friend, still visible in the corner of my eye.
The kid probably got bored so he also left his seat and sneakily walked over to a nearby plant pot, where he placed the empty bottle of his yogurt drink.
He walked away as if nothing happened and when he passed by me he did a weird gesture and same part of a theme song of a popular kids anime and ran away laughing.
Probably something I'd do as well if I were his age lol...
I finished my chocolatey snacks and my latte was half done now.
Up to this point, in the 7 minutes I have been writing and many people have come and gone.
A bunch of school boys and girls, grandpas and grandmas have passed by my table.
There were quite a few foreigners eating at the burger place a cross from me.
Yeah it feels like I'm in Japan.
And now, it's time to go back to the school campus for a meeting for a movie I'm currently working on.
