Chapter 1

Genevieve's POV:

My ceiling looks very interesting today.

It's never looked this good before and I can't tell if it's because I'm tired or If I'm trying to get out of going to work.

Probably a little bit of both honestly.

I had just got home from a long day at beauty school and all I want to do is lay down and sleep but of course I can't because I have to go to work.

I work at a little cafe called "Sage cafe", The Whole place is pretty much sage green. I loved working there even though it could be very full on sometimes.

The good thing about this job is that the owner doesn't care what you wear as long as it's appropriate.

I loved her.

I threw my legs up in the air and sprung my whole body forwards making me sit up quickly with my very dramatic movement.

It works every time though.

I walked over to my wardrobe and stood there for about 12 minutes trying to figure out what kind of outfit would I want to wear.

I would've of worn what I was wearing to school but it wasn't very appropriate for work if I'm being honest.

It was pyjamas.

Okay don't judge me.

I had a early class and could not be bothered to get ready. It's so much easier if I'm being completely honest with you.

In high school I was known to wear pjs everyday and everyone kinda just knew that I would never wear anything else.

I would wear baggy pyjamas at first because I was insecure about my body that and the fact that we had a dress code.

Anyways back to what I was saying.

I have thick thighs, stretch marks, moles in weird places, stomach fat, chubby cheeks and of course fat  fingers.

But I love my body so much and I wouldn't change it for the world even when it annoys me by giving me chafe.

Realising I had spaced out I rushed out of my room and quickly grabbed my keys from the kitchen bench.

I sped walked out of my apartment and locked the door quickly behind me, moving my way around the apartment building had become a lot easier through out time.

But man it's huge.

It's the most exercise I get all day.

I walked into the parking garage and looked around for my car.

You'd think after living in this apartment for almost 2 years I'd know the place perfectly, well think again.

I have no clue where I parked my car.

For goodness sakes.

I looked around stressing out a little bit about the fact that I was definitely going to be late to work.

And then I spotted it.

My beautiful car.

it was a grey Mazda CX-5 and I loved it with my whole heart, her name is bear, I don't know why but I love it so I chose it.

It was a bit of a mum car but who cares. Not me that's for sure.

I rushed over to bear and hoped in plugging my phone into the aux and putting on my playlist i made my way to the coffee shop.

•••••••••

I made it just in time.

thank goodness or I would've had a word from my boss, Amanda, I love her so much and her whole family was nice.

But she was still my boss and she had a job to do. Mandy got the place after her grandma, sage, retired.

Very cute story actually.

As I walked into the shop the smell of biscuits and coffee hit my nostrils and the sound of bells ringing above my head.

"Oh good you are here just  in time for rush hour I thought I waa gonna have to do it alone and I really was going to sob" My co worker/ slash best friend mora rambled.

I met mora about 6 months ago when I started the job and ever since then we've been pretty much inseparable.

We looked very different but we were pretty much the same person. Unlike me mora had these amazing blue eyes and orange hair, she was pale and skinny but she was still absolutely gorgeous.

Oh and did I mention she is very much lesbian.

I hate saying she's my "gay" best friend because it doesn't seem right to have to add another word into the tittle because they like a different gender then you, we don't go around saying "hey this is my straight best friend" so why should we say it with the LGBTQ+ community.

Before I met mora I was very supportive and was trying my best to be as educated as possible but know that I've met mora she has definitely helped me so much and educated me heaps more.

And I'm so glad.

"Sometimes Mora you are so dramatic I literally texted you saying I was coming into work" I rolled my eyes and put my personal items behind the counter.

"Are you being homophobic?!" Mora looked at me making my eyes go wide.

"W-what no no" she bursted out laughing "I hate you, I don't know how I keep falling for that every time" I smacked her on the arm.

"I don't know either but it gets funnier each time" I glared at her and made my way to the cash register knowing people would start to come in soon.

It's around 3pm and that's when all the college students come to study or workers come in after they are done with the day.

But it was mainly college students.

They loved studying here and so did i.

Sage cafe is open until 1:30am.

Luckily I only work 3 to 7pm.

It was only 4 hours but it was what I was looking for. Have I told you I love working here.

Because I do.

I fixed my name tag that I had put on a few moments ago and heard the bell on top of the door ring.

Here we go.

•••••••••
