Jamani Java

In a small coffee shop on the first floor of Amanda's apartment building, a young man, actually in his final year of college, who was just getting a job to pay the rent, was working the shop. He had shaggy dark brown hair, and lighter brown eyes, and was cleaning out cups behind the counter. The man had on a green apron, sort of baggy jeans, and a shirt that said Jamani Java on it. And a necklace, a cross. But otherwise, he was rather plain, or maybe even good-looking. Several girls frequented the coffee shop not for the horrible drinks, but to flirt with him. So he just sat there, whistling a merry tune and cleaning those cups.

Amanda pushed open the door, actually there for the coffee she didn't know was terrible. She sighed, the ringing bell from the door was irritating. Amanda had actually never had coffee, but she had decided it may help lift her spirits. She walked up to the young man behind the counter. "Um, one coffee with a packet of sugar please."

"Sure," He said, smiling. He went to make up the coffee. "So, do you live in the apartments here? I've never seen you before.."

Amanda sat in one of the chairs at the counter, rubbing her temples. "Yeah. I moved in a few weeks ago, because I have school and junk."

"Oh, nice to meet you, then. My name's Daniel Osbourne. Everyone calls me Oz, though." He stuck out his hand to shake.

Amanda shook it. "I'm Amanda Potter. Nice to meet you." Eurgh... is he related to that freaky musician? And also, I wonder if he's a wizard...

"Oh, here's your coffee." Daniel handed it over. "That'll be two dollars, eight cents, please."

Hmmm... No spazz about Potter? A muggle." "Thanks." Amanda grabbed money out of her pocket, and put it on the counter. A second later she regretted it. ...Oh man. I gave him a sickle!

Daniel looked at the money curiously. "Hey, what is this?" He asked, laughing.

"Oh, sorry, I just came back from another country..." She grabbed the sickle and throw a quarter down in its place.

Daniel looked at her curiously, but let it slide. "Okay, see you later."

"Well, cya." Amanda turned to go out, accidentally spilling some on herself. She rushed out the door, and stepped out of his view. "Scogify." With a successful grin, she went back to her apartment.

"Something's up with her." Daniel said simply, before returning to his silent work. He was a really laid-back person.

Amanda was back again, setting off the little door bell thing. She walked up the counter, sporting a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. She felt weird not wearing a cloak, she was trying to get used to her muggle environment for the next two weeks left on Christmas break. "Do you guys make smoothies?"

"Hey!" Oz said, smiling. "No, but I can make you one specially. How are you today?"

"Well, I don't want to be trouble, but a strawberry smoothie would be nice. Fine, I got test scores from my college today, so I'm happy."

"Really? How'd you do?" He got her a smoothie. "How about we talk about it?"

"I scored 87's or higher on all of them.." Amanda sipped her smoothie. "Wow, this is a lot better than the coffee! You should put this on the menu!"

"Thanks. I make smoothies for myself all the time. But I'm not the boss here.. And great job on your tests. I'll buy the smoothie as a reward, okay?"

"Awh," Sip "Thanks!"

"No problem. Do you.. Do you maybe want to go out for coffee sometime? I mean.. Well, we're in a coffee shop right now. But, somewhere else."

... Is he hitting on me? I mean honestly, I have met this guy twice and I am in a relation-- no I'm not. Amanda smiled widely. "Sure, that sounds great!"

"Um, thanks. Hey, I've got to get back to work now. See you."

"Buh-bye!" Amanda left, whistling.
