Currently, I am looking at the ceiling above me, moving my toes while I think about all my options here. I sit up suddenly and groan grabbing my phone. 'Who cares if it's too early? maybe how eager I am will make him find me even more attractive. Right? being confident is hot.' I think to myself before i quickly turn and glance at my white suitcase, sure, id only been home for one day since the cruise but the chemistry was there? I really was catching feelings for him, to me, it felt like more than a summer fling. I open the message app and take a deep breath, I find his contact 'lucas' even the name made me smile and took me back to the beach walks around the different islands.
hi:) it is april, hows minnesota? sent.
A deep breath releases my lips "well that's that." I say to myself before playing 'The Neighbourhood' by 'The Neighbourhood' and quickly getting to unpacking. Usually, this would be a: leave until I need an item in the bottom of my suitcase job but right now I needed something to distract me and since this needed to be done, I see nothing more sensible than doing this.
I've been working on being more sensible since I moved out, I moved to LA to study music from London in England actually. I could have studied anywhere I wanted really.. all I needed to do was find a job so I could pay for it myself.
I agree I was so incredibly lucky to grow up in a place like London, there is the culture, the people, the atmosphere.. and don't get me wrong- I loved growing up there it gave me experiences I would never have if I grew up anywhere else. there is nowhere else really like it. but since I was young I had always wanted to go somewhere different, somewhere sunnier and more bright, but still equally as much culture, and to be honest, Los Angeles is perfect for me.
I have a waitressing job that just gets me by but I live by myself, there isn't much I need to buy except groceries and a couple of bills, I live in my college's dorm so in the future, I will have a lot of debt but that's a future me problem... I have savings- I know ill be okay.
I used to be extremely close with my 'Mum' and I still love her so much, of course, I always will. She travels too. She was supposed to come on the two-week cruise with me, that was the plan- But she needed to go to some last-minute places with her boyfriend so, still paying for all the expenses she let me bring my best friend Haley with me, that's probably why I even got to meet Lucas.
Haley is my best friend/roommate she is the first person I met in LA and she is a little more confident than me, we get along so well and I love her so so much. To be honest, I think her being more outgoing and spontaneous is what makes us have a great relationship, it's a perfect balance. Although she always needs to remind me to 'loosen up' which gets annoying but growing up with a mother who acted more like the child than you did, you're bound to become a natural caregiver. I guess that's why we were always compared to Rory and Lorelai from Gilmore Girls.
Once I put all the dirty clothes in the laundry- or washing basket as I would say. I hang up the ones I didn't use and start to put away my laptop, chargers, makeup, and hair products. Stuff like that. I made my bed and sighed seeing still no reply. I get up and grab my studying materials. The last semester of my first year in college starts tomorrow. spring break was fun, but I may as well remind myself of the stuff I actually learned, it sucks but I'm one of those people who need to go over something again and again to remember it.
A little bit later I eventually finish some of my recappings, the clock in my room kept distracting me, I probably should have done more. I get up and sigh, taking my glasses off and dimming the lights, walking to the bathroom to get ready for bed. 2 minutes of brushing my teeth and a skincare routine and im walking back into my cold room, sitting on my bed and thinking for a little bit. "Haley!" I shout, throwing myself back onto my bed and a wait roughly sixty seconds before she comes through the door.
"I swear if you want me to put aloe on your back-" Haley starts, looking down at me "oh" she then stops herself softly "Why do you look sad?" She pouts, closing my door and walking in, pulling me up and sitting beside me "you texted him didn't you."
I look up at her and pout, nodding my head "and he hasn't text back. it's been like what? four hours." i sigh
"I told you not to message him until at least two days after April, oh my god" she groans, pushing me a bit.
"i knowww, im sorry, i just got really excited" I laugh a bit, "it doesn't matter now does it, he's clearly not interested" I say lifting my blanket and getting under it, covering my face and groaning once more.
"noo, no, remember he lives in where? New Jersey it would have taken him a while to get home, he's probably tired and he probably fell asleep" she says pulling the blanket down.
I laugh a little bit at her "Minnesota, he is from Minnesota and I suppose you're right.." I say, smiling at her.
"Okay good, im tired and we have school tomorrow. I need to rest my fingers. I haven't played piano in like two weeks." She laughs and i smile "tell me about it." I reply.
She gets up and starts to leave my room while I move down my bed and cuddle in to my blankets a bit. Just as Haley's hand goes to close the door I get a notification.
lucas has sent you a message
"uh Haley.. I think he woke up"
