Chapter 15 Katniss was just wandering around the school when she spotted a job posting at the entrance of a coffee shop .
She figured , why not , and strolled inside .
The coffee shop had this cozy vibe , with coffee samples all over the counter .
The glass cabinet was packed with different coffee beans and fresh fruits , making the place smell amazing .
The decor was pretty chill , with hand painted watercolor paintings of fruits and flowers on the walls .
It felt fresh and inviting .
By the window , there were these white tables and chairs , all set up with little bottles of condiments and tissue boxes .
Behind the counter , a young woman in a pink apron was brewing coffee like a pro , smiling as she worked .
She was clearly into what she was doing .
The whole place had a laid back , happy atmosphere .
A few female students were hanging out , chatting and laughing over their coffee .
The coffee brewer was now feeding a little boy , maybe five or six years old .

When she saw Katniss come in , she put down the bowl and asked , What can I get for you ? Katniss pointed to the job posting and smiled .
Im a freshman at Nexus Nova College and Id love to work here .
Is that cool ? She walked up to the owner , Amara Garcia , really hoping to land the job .
Amara looked a bit unsure , preferring to hire someone with experience .
Youre a freshman , huh ? No work experience ? Amara asked .
Katniss nodded .
Yeah , but Im hardworking and really passionate about this .
Amara frowned , thinking it over .
She could see Katniss was sincere , but hiring a newbie was risky .
I usually hire people with experience , Amara said hesitantly .
Katniss looked determined .
I might not have experience , but Ill work hard and wont let you down .

Amara was still on the fence .
Business had been good lately , and she was working on new products while also taking care of her kid .
She needed a part timer .
Just as Amara was about to decide , there was a loud crash behind her .
She turned around to see the little boy on the floor , red faced and struggling to breathe , having knocked over a small table .
Amara panicked , trying to help the boy , but whatever was stuck in his throat was too deep .
Dont move , listen to me ! Amara cried out , tears streaming down her face .
Katniss quickly stepped in , pushing Amara aside .
No , dont dig around , thats only making it worse .
Amara , desperate , asked , Then what should I do ? Leave it to me , Katniss said calmly .
She picked up the child from behind , figuring he had something blocking his airway .
She decided to perform the Heimlich maneuver , placing her fingers on his abdomen and pushing upward forcefully .

After a few pushes , the child let out a violent cough , and a shiny glass marble flew out of his throat , landing on the floor with a clink .
Katniss realized she was drenched in sweat after the ordeal .
The child , still scared , cried loudly and clung to Amara .
Amara , with red eyes , quickly comforted him .
Once he finally fell asleep , she looked at Katniss with gratitude .
Thank you .
If it werent for you , my child wouldve been in real danger , Amara said , choking up .
You can work part time here ! You can come in the evenings to help .
We close at eight , and well pay by the hour , Amara suggested .
Katniss agreed , Okay , Ill start tomorrow .
As she was about to leave , a chubby little hand grabbed her .
