The next morning I got up and got ready for work. Today, I decided on a baby blue button up with my usual skirt. I chose different shoes that I found in my closet. I took a picture of them and posted it for everyone to see how I was starting to branch out from my usual work attire.

I had spare time before work, so I decided to stop by my favorite small coffee shop.
Angie was working that morning. Angie was my childhood best friend but she chose her boyfriend over me, so we went out separate ways. That's also around the time when I stopped caring about my social life, and only about my work.
It had been 9 years since that happened, and this was the first time I was seeing her. Coincidence, huh?
I looked her up and down. "Angie?" Her long, dark brown hair was in a messy ponytail, and she was still short as hell.
"Y/n? Oh my god, it's been so long?" She tried to reach in for a hug, but I declined.
"How's life?" She asked me, slightly bummed at my rejection.
"Fine, what about you? You still with your crusty ass boyfriend?"
"No, I left him 5 years ago."
"Damn."
"What would you like?"
I placed my order and she went back to make it. She came back less than two minutes later with my coffee.
"I guess I'll see you around, Angie."
"You too, Y/n!"
I'll admit, that was an odd conversation, but it's something.
I walked into the building to be greeted by Celia.
"Hello, Ms. y/n!" She seemed more cheerful than usual.
"Hi? Is today special or something?"
She grinned. "It's your 5th year working here! Happy anniversary!"
And that's when other coworkers popped out from behind their desks with party hats.
I laughed. "You guys look like children, but thank you."
Celia brought me balloons and showed me the cake. "You guys, this is too sweet. Thank you."
I walked over to the table they had set up for me. The cake was coincidentally baby blue, just like my shoes. My coworkers occasionally came up and hugged me, congratulating me on 5 years in this hell hole.
I thanked them and of course hugged them back. Mrs. Damelio came up and hugged me, I cringed. "Congratulations, Ms. L/n!" She pulled away and patted me on the back.
"Yeah, thanks." I turned away from her to talk to Celia.
"Would you like to cut the cake?" She handed me the knife. I took it and cut everyone a slice of cake.
Mr. Nullings cleared his throat. "We have another surprise," he said. "You actually don't have any work to do today, so you can take the rest of the day off."
My jaw dropped. I have never gotten two days off in a row before. "No way."
I walked over to him and hugged him, making sure I didn't get any frosting on his coat.
I chatted with everyone for another hour, I was already familiar with all of my coworkers, but we were never friends. I made about 7 new friends that day. Billie was seriously changing me, cause if I hadn't met her, I probably wouldn't be so friendly with everyone.
I skip home, and I mean skip. Like the 5 year old I am on the inside. I open my phone to a groupchat text from Finn. In the groupchat was Billie, Finneas, Finn, Claudia, and I.

Finn
So guys... I may or may not have a date tomorrow night.

Me
OH MY GOD NO WAY

Finn
So, triple date?! I already asked her and she's fine with it.

Billie
What's her name

Finn
Angie

My heart sank. I thought he was gay. My phone buzzed again, it was Billie.

Billie ❤️

Billie
Do you want to go with them tomorrow night?

Me
As long as you're there with me

Billie
I'm obviously going to be there, it's a triple date. You're not going by yourself.

Me
Yeah, sorry HAAHAH

I unlocked the door to my apartment and walked in. It was sparkling clean as always. I set the leftover cake in the fridge to eat later. I decided I wasn't going to be fashionably late with Billie tomorrow night, so I went to pick my outfit.
I called Finn.
"Hey sis, where are we going tomorrow night?"
"To this new fancy restaurant called BILA."
"Ah. Okay, that's all. Bye."
I hung up on him before he could say anything. I was kind of pissed at him for going out with my ex best friend.
I googled BILA, BILA stands for Better in Los Angeles. Cute.
