She was awoken by the dreading sound of the alarm clock. Groaning, Charlie pressed the off button and rolled herself back up into her blanket.
Slowly, she started to remember what had happened the night before. It had been a wild party, and she had enjoyed herself a lot. Mostly because Marcus had told her he liked her, which she had said back. Unfortunately that's where they were left, because Joe had interrupted their conversation by making the fire alarm go off for smoking.
Charlie didn't know wether she wanted to be Joe's friend or wether she wanted to punch him in the balls.
She slowly made her way out of bed remembering she had to go to work today, on a perfect Saturday morning. Life could be a bitch.

Strolling over to the bus station, she spotted Joe standing against a pole.
As every morning, a cigarette was dangling from his mouth.
"Smoking kills you, you do know that right?" Charlie asked, dropping her handbag by her feet.
"Who are you, my mother?" Joe scoffed, rolling his eyes.
"I could be." She gasped.
"You're younger than me, it would biologically be impossible." He sighted, taking another whiff from his cigarette.
"Talk about man period."
Joe just gave Charlie an unamused look.
"Where is the bus? It's 9:20 already." Charlie questioned after a long pause.
"How am I supposed to know?" Joe scoffed.
"Why do you take the bus anyway?" She asked. "Where do you need to be?"
"I take the bus because I don't have any other option of transportation, and the rest is none of your business."
"Fine. Then I'll ask Zoe." Charlie said, folding her arms.
The fact that Charlie had found out Joe was Zoe's brother, made Charlie wonder even more about what this guy's deal was.
"Do whatever you want." Joe rolled his eyes.
"I still don't get why you wouldn't tell me your name." She sighted.
"Why would I tell a perfect stranger who I am, when I don't even have the answer to that?" He asked.
"That doesn't even make any sense."
"It's not about making sense, it's about being a mystery."
Charlie just rolled her eyes at him, checking her watch. 9:25.
"Let's ditch." She said, folding her arms and giving Joe a serious look.
"Are you serious?" Joe questioned with a light chuckle.
"Why wouldn't I be?" Charlie asked.
"You seem like the last person to walk this earth that would ditch work." He stated.
"Well, there is no denying that I wouldn't agree with you more, but I'm tired as shit anyway. All I've done this past year is work my ass of for some job I don't even enjoy, while I should be discovering the world." She sighted.
"Then let's ditch."

As Joe was searching through the packs of CD's tied together, Charlie had walked over to the actual musical instruments.
After a long discussion, Joe had been able to convince Charlie to come to the music shop. He was apparently fascinated by music, he seemed to know an awful lot about it.
Charlie made her way to the piano. She played the instrument quite well. Her fingers started pressing down on random keys.
"Have you ever even played the piano?" Joe asked as he rumbled through some more CD's.
"Yeah, I've actually have always wanted to play. When I first heard Fur Elise when I was about 6, it was pretty much all I wanted out of life." Charlie replied, as she started playing the notes for Fur Elise.
"Wow, you're like the next Mozart." He chuckled.
"All I still need is one of those wigs." She smiled.
"You'll look like a total super model."
"I know right, it's just plain hot."
"If you ever are able to play Fur Elise, let me know and I'll come listen to you play it. I might even buy you the wig."
Charlie nodded her head, as she stopped pressing the keys.
Joe lightened another cigarette and took a long whiff from it.
"You should really quit, it's bad for you." Charlie sighted, as she made her way over to the CD rack.
"Is it?"
He took another whiff and blew the smoke in her face.
"Stop it." She giggled, trying to use her arms to keep away the smoke.
Joe took a whiff again, blowing the smoke in her face for the second time.
"Knock it off!" Charlie laughed, faking a cough.
Joe chuckled, folding his arms.
"Maybe I was wrong about you, Lee."
"What do you mean Sugg?" She asked.
"That just... maybe I was wrong."
