CHAPTER 1
Bzz Bzz I twirl around in my sleep as i hear my alarm go off, its 6 am and i have an early start to my day.
I nuzzle my head against the pillow, as my best friend laya walks in " wake the fuck up bitch, were gonna be late"
I scoff at her as I force myself out of bed, heading over to the bathroom to get ready for the day. I wash my face, brush my teeth and curl my lashes before I throw on some black sweats, and a white tank top.
" you're finally up" laya exclaims as she walks in already dressed, and fully ready. Laya has been my best friend since highschool, we moved out here to new york for college last year, and we've rented an apartment a few blocks away from uni.
" shut up" I mumble as I brush my wavy brown hair out of my face, and put it into a messy bun.
" We've got literature as our first course today" she says as she braids her thick blonde locks. " I know," I said, sighing as I put on my shoes.
I quickly run down the stairs grabbing a fresh bowl of blueberries from the fridge, and a cold water bottle, stuffing it into my bag as I get the keys to our car. " I'll wait in the car, hurry up!"
After a 5 minute drive we both jog out of the car and into our first lecture. " morning students," Mr. Brown says as he places his computer on his desk and turns the projector on.
" this course is so boring" layla whines, i personally love everything and anything that has to do with writing and or reading, i take a good look at my very organized notes and flash her a " shut the fuck up" look.
An hour later we said our goodbyes to Mr. Brown, and were headed back to our apartment, we both crushed the couch as soon as we walked in. " hey i've got work in an hour" i say as i glance at my phone's screen. " i dont work Mondays, you have fun tho" laya says as she turns her interest back to the series she's binge-watching.
I walk up the stairs into my room to get my uniform, and retouch my lashes with some vaseline, before I take my bag, and say my goodbyes to laya.
" you're 5 minutes late," my manager scoffs as I walk in. " ah, hi to you too, hope you've had a good day as well" I say as I chuckle to myself, placing my bag in my locker and walking to the front to start taking today's orders.
" hey Isla, i'll take my regular" sandra says before i write her name on the cup and hand it over to Diego ( my work bestie)
" Is this sandras usual order?" he asks as he starts pouring coffee and milk into the blender, " yep, make sure to add extra caramel" i say as i turn and take about 300 hundred thousand orders before i've finally finished my shift.
" bye mike!" I yell at my manager making sure he knows I'm heading out, he flashes me a smile, and a light wave as I grab my bag, and step onto the concrete.
" Redbone" by childish gambino plays as I roll down the window, letting the fresh breeze hit my face.
The next five minutes pass by like a flash, and before I know it im back at my apartment, i turn the engine off, and rush inside.
" I'm back hoe" I yell out loud enough for Laya to run down the stairs and jump into my arms.
" Hey, I've started dinner, it's on the stove." she says as she hugs onto my torso, " really? What did you make? I say as I try not to trip over myself. " lasagna, your moms recipe" she says as she jumps down.
I jump up and down in excitement as I scream " woohoo".
She serves plates onto the table, as I pour two glasses of lavender lemonade, and we quickly sit down before devouring both our plates.
We chat about everything that happened today, and i quickly get up to wash both our dishes, before i dry them off, and put them back in our cabinet.
Laya goes back to her show, and I run up the stairs to change into my pjs, and do my skincare.
" I'm going to bed!" I yelled from the second floor, hoping Lya heard me. " Okay, sweet dreams hun" she replies back.
After a long enough day I walk into my room and tuck myself into bed, before grabbing a book from my nightstand and begin reading.
