Jane walked into the cafe pressing an anatomy textbook to herself. She was about to take a seat in the front booth when she turned around and saw Ken staring at her, his arms folded across his chest.Ken was gaping at her like an owl. With a gasp, she slowly turned around and muttered under her breath "Busted".Ken abandoned the orange juice and doughnuts on his table and quickly began marching toward her. Jane felt his footsteps reaching toward her, she tightened her grip on her books, heaved a deep sigh, and sat with a fake smile plastered across her face.Ken sat on the chair opposite her. He positioned his hands on the table. She roved her eyes from one angle of the cafe to the other.He cleared his throat loudly and said to her. "It's just four people here."She forced a grin.

He pointed out to her that there were just a few people in the cafe so
His Ascension We'd see how it goes.
"Wow!" marveled Ken. He might not know much about Jane but he could swear that she was more like him when it came to accomplishing tasks."That's exactly what I do all the time. If I don't complete the tasks I set for myself, I won't have peace." Jane replied and shook her head."That's more like me," commented Ken.She smiled and folded her arms across her chest. "Shouldn't you be in your room by now?"Ken stared at the watch on his left wrist. "Are you asking me to leave?""I don't own the fucking place," Jane replied. "You can stay here for as long as you wish," she added with a warm smile.Ken positioned both his hands on the table and cleared his throat loudly in his bid to prove to her that he wasn't ready to leave anytime soon."So what do you do for fun? I mean, your hobbies," he asked.Jane gave her forehead a delicate scrape. "I read.""That's cool. What genre of books do you read?" "Classics, history, philosophy, and more," she replied.Ken was pleased. "I must say you qui

Before she could blink, they formed a circle around her. The surprised Jane roved her eyes around them wondering who they were.None of the girls looked familiar. Why are they forming a circle around her and why are they harboring hard faces? she wondered. They looked as if they were going to pounce on her.Before she could speak, one of the girls rushed toward her. She was carrying a pail behind her and in a flash, she poured the water on Jane, wetting her from head to toe.When Jane opened her eyes, they were all gone.

His Ascension Job hunting.
Ken couldn't stop stamping his left leg as the feeling of anxiety was taking over him. He had been sitting at the reception for almost twenty minutes and was yet to get a response from the young secretary who walked into her boss's office. She promised to get back to him but didn't come out.Ken had drafted an application letter and sent it to the grocery store the previous day after he stumbled on the vacant post placed at the entrance. He had applied for the post of sales personnel and was asked to return the next day by 10 am sharp for an interview.Immediately the secretary walked out of her boss's office, Ken rose to his feet. She had told him when he walked in twenty minutes ago that her boss, the owner of the grocery store was going to interview him that morning.She walked up to Ken with a faint smile and his heart skipped a beat after she shook her head sadly. "I'm sorry boy. You don't fit in."Ken raised a brow and darted his gaze from her ponytail down to her glossy red hee
